^^^yes^^^Theres a war on fossil fuels.

And THATS the cause of the higher pump prices and the higher pump prices make ALL products more expensive because EVERYTHING is produced and shipped with fossil fuels!

No, it's not. It's almost 100% supply and demand.

search for the following phrase:

"what's the cause of high fuel prices?"

Oh, ok. If Forbes says so, it must be true.

I believe what I see, not what I read.

Supply on fuel is down suddenly 1.5 years ago and more than doubles in price starting a year ago and nobody thinks it has anything to do with policies?

I have several great reads on it, but will not post them due to they all start out with political headlines and then denounce politics as the cause. Search for yourself. It's supply and demand.

Oooo, I've got some good zingers for that statement. But alas, no religion or politics.

Read, listen, look... it all points to supply and demand.

See above.
I believe what I see, not what I read. You can’t tell me the policy changes that happened 1.5 years ago has NOTHING to do with fuel prices.

I’m sure that you’re rooting for that to happen. We have never experienced a rolling blackout in my state even with 36% of power from renewables. The only blackouts we ever experienced in the past 20 years were due to weather events such as snow storms, wind storms, tornadoes, substations failing…. Those rolling blackouts always seem to happen in the same places, indicating those areas have other issues with their power grid.

What an uncalled-for, irreverent comment to make. You really think I want people to suffer?

What I want to see is a dependable power grid for safety & security. Plenty of proof it won’t be just by looking up in the sky that clouds vastly reduce the efficacy of solar panels and no wind brings your majestic birds of prey-killing windmills to a grinding halt.
Paving productive farm fields and beautiful meadows where birds & animals nest with deserts of ugly chinese solar panels is your solution?
Plopping 500’ windmills, built mostly in other countries on top of mountain chains is another one of your solutions?

I’d rather remove some of the trillions of cubic feet of gas trapped under the ground and burn it as cleanly as possible in small concentrated power plant installations, or use the miracle of nuclear fission to power the future and preserve the beautiful majestic enviroment.
