WASHINGTON—Worried about rising gas prices, the Biden administration has called on oil-producing countries including Saudi Arabia and Russia to raise their oil production. Strong recovery in global demand and slow growth in supplies have been pushing crude oil prices higher in recent months.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan issued a statement on Aug. 11 asking the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and Russia (OPEC+) to address rising gasoline costs.
“Higher gasoline costs, if left unchecked, risk harming the ongoing global recovery,” Sullivan warned.
Whatever knocks the Democrats out of power, I'm all for it!

There are legitimately automobiles from seven different decades (1950s - 2020s) licensed and in daily use in all 50 states. Despite Biden trying to expedite the elimination of the internal combustion engine, there can be no quick replacement of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and hundreds of other hydrocarbon powered devices used daily in our country, so the rapid destruction of our domestic energy producers is beyond stupid, even if you are a progressive democrat. You still need easy transport to the next riot, election theft, human smuggling business, and other similar activities. Democrats are not only hypocrites, they are very stupid hypocrites.

This from the party that nixed the Keystone pipeline? Begging Russia and the Saudis to raise their oil production just months after Biden and company dumped American oil independence??
SOBs!

But oil is evil and so is gasoline. Why not order us to all drive electric cars?

Typically stupid move.
No honor.
No pride. Central planers think they live in a world of cooperation.

#5 - what’s to stop them from outlawing cars over a certain age? Think of the boost to the economy when millions of us have to pony up for a slick new electric vehicle. Then they can send all our trade in’s to Central America so those folks will stay home in their new, vibrant economies. Every one wins.

Re #10 - My point was the sheer volume of automobiles being driven by progressives as well as normal Americans. For example, just since 2010, around 68,201,000 cars have been sold in the U.S. During that decade, there was a downward trend in annual car sales. Add light truck sales and the numbers more than double. There is no way to rapidly (3 to 5 years) produce the even just the electric car batteries necessary to replace the cars and pickups sold over the last ten years. Biden urging OPEC to ramp oil production is a signal that even he knows that internal combustion engines cannot be quickly replaced and his constituent trust fund commies, like normal Americans, must have their cars to get them where they must go for the economy and society to avoid implosion.

If you liked Carter you'll LOVE Joe. Maybe he'll bring back 55 MPH speed limits.
If you weren't born for Carter hang on to your hats and Google it kiddies.

Joe, Joe, Joe..... A much simpler way to fix this would be to reverse your stupid, idiotic, uncalled for, Executive Orders shutting down pipeline construction in the US, further oil leases in the US, banning drilling in certain places in the US, and all of the other successful Trump energy successes that you stopped just because you could. Gas prices are rising fast because of your policies (or lack of policy) Joe. Before you were inaugurated in January, the US was energy independent. You created this crisis, just like you created the crisis at the border. This is a problem that did not need to occur. You made this happen. Own it! Reverse Your poor decisions and allow US to become energy independent again!

OPEC sent back aninquiry about who is pulling this nutbag's string. The official response was something that roughly translates to ''Go fish!''

Worried about rising gas prices, the Biden administration...
Progs really want gas to cost $10 a gallon so we can save the planet, but political realities dictate otherwise--for now. As soon as the winds shift, President Drool Bucket will be tilting at windmills again.

OPEC is not going to raise production and lower prices until one of two things happens:
1) They are threatened to do so, or
2) They are bribed to do so.
Not-my-president Lyin' Joe biden is a pipsqueak who doesn't have the cajones to threaten anyone and actually follow through with it. So I'm guessing a few billion of our tax $$$'s are going to go to bribing them!!!

I'm old enough to remember when we were entirely energy independent.
Hey, wait a minute! That was only a year ago!!!
It takes a really concerted, focused effort to destroy an energy economy in only a few months. But Traitor Joe and his evil minions have managed it.

Hmmm, We in Texas should cut off shipments to the East/West Coasts.
Have a Nice HOT Day!

How about reopening the Keystone pipeline and calling for increased oil exploration here?
