No sir. Markets determine oil price. I have always maintained that Russia and Mideast powers have the ability to set prices based strictly on their decisions to increase or decrease production. State control of the industry gives them that luxury. The United States does not do that. Exxon, Shell and others decide production levels based on profitability. Russian oil sells because the world runs on petroleum products. American oil sells for the same reason. All of them are making serious bank right now.
Nice tap dance. US oil production is still down about 10 percent from 2019. Oil producers are blaming Biden Regulations. If the keystone pipeline had been allowed to go through the Oil from the pipeline would easily cover what the Russians send us.

Seriously didn't how long it take to switch everybody has a gas powered automobile to a hybrid or all electric?
markets moving in that direction . Lot of automakers building electic cars.

I think though you'll will at some point have both. May be decades before the entire population commits 100 percent. In the meantime i could see a scenario where people have electric cars for local driving and gas for longer trips.

Kinda like florida retirees that drive a golf cart to the grocery store and gas cars to visit family back home.

I see what you did there. 😁
You're thinking Tesla. The Prius generates its own battery power.
Oh sure. Why not? Why not support EV? Oh wait! Just because the mining of lithium is an environMENTAL nightmare? The mining of lithium is just a warm and fuzzy yes?
Frigging people are dumb as cow crap beat with a bat. These EVs are rolling pollution. Nobody gives AS. People that purchase these electric vehicles are ALL LIBERALS! They don't think for themselves because they can't! They are LEMMINGS! AND THEY SUCK! I'm not saying fossil fueled vehicles are environment net zero however is there a damn person alive that can't see what the EV is REALLY about? Do they charge via moon light? Cmon people! Open your damn eyes.
Btw, Biden sucks.
Had to add that 😁

Not when no one can afford gas. Well, maybe if you live at the top of a big hill, and ride the brakes all the way down, the regenerative brakes will give you enough charge to make it halfway back up.
But that's the great thing about the Prius. 50 mpg at $4 a gallon gas is like having a 25 mpg car at $2 a gallon.
