I know next to nothing about exploration or refining except powers that be in oil producing state of California have gone on record advocating rescinding offerings and increasing regulation to the point to make CA unattractive to the sector.
Up 50 cents since yesterday and that was 30 cents from earlier in the week and this is the independent with the lowest area prices and where I tank.
CA is a special case. Coal is rapidly becoming irrelevant everywhere as old plants are closed or converted to natural gas, and no new plants are being built.
Some cities and states are beginning to ban homes being even hooked up to NG?
No, I suggest easing the existing restrictions on them. One example would be NG export terminal restrictions. If they were allowed to be finished and NG ships filled, they could export NG to Europe instead of buying NG from Putin.

Nobody has banned NG for electrical power generation.
It will get worked out. There will be a need to fill the gap from Russia.No, I suggest easing the existing restrictions on them. One example would be NG export terminal restrictions.

Note to Biden: The US can’t export renewable energy to our energy-deprived allies
Renewable energy – primarily from wind turbines and solar panels – cannot be loaded on tankers and shipped overseas to be used by other countries.
Thats not what I said. I said some states are banning homes from being hooked up to NG. If theres less NG customers then theres less demand and less exploration or production.
If you read the article, you’d see theres a certain individual backed by another group of environmentalists standing in the way of working anything out.
Free enterprise. Some folks in the senate are proposing to ban Russian imports. We’ll see if it passes. The oil companies won’t stop this unless they are legally required to.
Except in India and China, I guess their dirty air stays over there.
Why don’t we do good things for our own country and quit focusing on what other countries do? Not polluting our air, soil and water with mercury, and other toxins is good for America. And coal is a more expensive fuel for electric generation than gas anyways, so there’s no incentive to keep using it.
For once can you cut the politics? It’s simply good that we don’t pollute our water and soil with toxic waste in our own country. That’s a huge win for a cleaner environment and public health in America. We no longer have to accept those toxins in our country; we are rich and technically advanced enough to have cleaner options. Let the third world pollute their soil and water if they want to.
China and India air pollution stays inside their borders. US air pollution floats all around the globe. Thats why radical environmentalists never shame China, only the USA.
I wonder if that bunch knows of the top 25 polluting cities in the world, 24 of them are in China?
Um no. The US never has and never will stop sticking our noses in other countries affairs.
