SAN FRANCISCO — Sticker shock at San Francisco Bay Area gas pumps was beginning to reach panic levels early Monday as prices surged to more than $4.85 a gallon, setting a new record for the state for a second day in a row. Prices were pushing $5 in some areas, including in Humboldt County, where the average price was $4.97 Monday. (Snip) Rep. Karen Bass, appearing Sunday on CNN’s Jake Tapper “State of the Union,” said something needs to be done to hold down the prices. “The median price is $4. And in many places, it’s $5,” Bass said. “I
And even worse, we’re now dependent on foreign countries for the majority of our oil…

The solution is simple: pay more money to Dim donors who have an interest in renewable energy companies.

While the Demented Fuhrer indulges in his favorite ice cream, his Kommandants consider shutting down another oil pipeline. The clicking of boots in the White House is deafening.

It is being driven by the extremist authoritarian socialist left.
- Cause shortages, in this case, in the energy enterprise (gasoline, propane, natural gas, #2 home heating fuel, diesel, etc.).
- Keep the lefty not so bright LoFo lemmings clueless.
- Blame fossil fuels for global warming problems (hunger, famine, war, people who tweet mean things, mean police, the un-woke, unvaccinated troglodytes, etc.
- Push/mandate (and keep pushing/mandating) the flawed and wasteful green dream
- Interim objective: Controlling the people, industries (energy, media, commerce, health, education, welfare, etc.).
- End goal: A one party political system, overseers to the ignorant masses, controlled by the Party elites.
It never ends well (National Socialist Germany, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Maoist China, present day PRC, Venezuela, NK, to name but a few).

Bass is part of the problem, not the solution - as I recall she was on the short list for VP. Something needs to be done to hold down prices - DRILL BABY, DRILL. You idiots created this mess, you can use up the strategic reserve (bad idea), ask OPEC to drill more (bad idea), wait for a green energy (bad idea), or DRILL. It is too late, the Amtrak has left the station - 2022 is going to be a Red Tsunami.

Simple, Joe. Just go on your knees to the Arabs, Russians, and Africans and beg for more exports to our carbon-poor country. Show them your best servile smile--you know, the one you always flash when you've just emptied your bowels in front of royalty. Also, beg them for help at our ports, so that their tankers can go to the front of the line of cargo ships already trying to get in. Maybe Hunter can help swing the deal, Big Guy.

One year ago we were the leading oil exporter in the world. Now that pond scum Chuck Up Schumer is calling for F Joe Biden to tap our Strategic Petroleum Reserve, empty it and shut down all oil producers! Yes, the commie death democrat traitor is actually espousing this madness. Fellow citizens we will not survive another year of this mortal attack on our Country and each of us individually. This can't go on.
By the way California voters you deserve what you are getting good and hard. You voted to keep that little Fidel Newsome in place and you continue to vote for the democrat communists who are destroying your state and our country. Suicide by voting.

Biden loved his commie buddies. CCP has made his family very rich, provided a virus so he could win a fraudulent election. He owes them big time.

I can vouch for this, as a resident in the SF East Bay Area.
In mid-January, I paid $2.899 for a gallon of regular unleaded at our local Costco. This morning, I paid $4.359.
California did raise its per gallon gasoline tax in July — by 0.6 cents per gallon to 51.2 cents per gallon — so this has not been a major factor in the increase of gas prices over the past 10 months.
Thank you, Zhao Xiden, for your policies to destroy the U.S. economy to “fight” “climate change.” China, Russia, Iran, and our other enemies do not need to do anything to defeat us economically or militarily, just to sit back and watch us self-destruct under the Xiden regime.
Let’s go, Brandon!!

$3.05 here in the Jax Beach area, although I have seen it as high as $3.49 by the airport. It is still unacceptably high, especially when it was around $1.20 CHEAPER this same time last year.

Liberal Democrats have overplayed their hand allowing higher gas prices thinking it will jumpstart the general public to buy EVs. The EV revolution is going to stretch out over decades as it catches up with commercial charging infrastructure and depreciation and wear out of ICE vehicles. Concern over high gas prices now are an indication that consumers don’t see selling their ICE vehicles an buying expensive EVs as a viable financial near term solution. Tens of thousands of dollars are at stake for consumers. Cheaper to vote out Democrats than buy an EV when you have a perfectly good ICE vehicle.
Liberal Democrats remind me of the old Soviet Union. Decide on a five year plan with no possibility of implementing it and no concern for the chaos to ordinary people’s lives.

Thank the pukes in charge in DC, but California adds in another thick layer of government insanity, costing around an additional $2-2.50 per gallon over our prices out here in Free America.

The Woke Wankers wailed about how nobody told Chauvin to take his knee off George Floyd's neck, as the latter was dying. Why the hell won't somebody tell Biden, the Butcher of economies and Bane of Truth, to remove his knee from America's neck before America dies? Let's Go Brandon!

The systematic shutdown of oil production in the US is the reason, and it is the fervent desire of Obama and Soros to wreck our economy using their broken puppet.
