"I guarantee you we're going to end fossil fuels"

Maybe don't vote for the person that says he's going to "end" what you heat your home with and then act shocked when the price goes up 🤷🏻‍♂️

But I see the "Putin's price hike" propaganda is still working lol. Funny how Putin controls our gas prices when it's said we have more natural gas reserves than the rest of the world. Weird. Must be those greedy corporations... Ya. That's it.

So much stupidity in one comment, but I'll bite.

The US produced more natural gas in 2021 than any other year in history. 2022 is likely going to be the new record. Biden isn't slowing down natural gas production.

So how did Biden cause prices to rise? By something he said in a campaign speech, I don't know when? If it's as simple as "well he could just PUMP MORE", why didn't Trump pump more?

Putin-apologists are a strange bunch. Interesting comment history defending Russian soldiers too.

We're importing less gas and exporting more natural gas while our prices rise. Production is increasing but that gas isn't going to us, thus our prices go up because there's no excess to offset record high inflation. Exports are at record highs and imports at near lows. They are sending our gas over seas, along with the hundred billion tax payer dollars they also sent.

Biden said he was going to end fossil fuels (and fossil fuel appliances apparently). And he is. But only for us. Not the rest of the world though who suddenly need our gas because the Nord Stream 2 pipeline was mysteriously destroyed... you know, after Biden said he would destroy it. But totally wasn't him. Nope. Don't listen to his own words.
