Just this week democrats canceled a lease on drilling in Alaska! With gas prices headed towards 6 bucks a gal

[williamatwill]

Well Ted, why don't ya'll tell people why the refineries in Texas can't make gas from our oil. Instead they buy cheaper sulpher-based oil which they can convert. This cheaper oil comes from Russia, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela. But it's not cheap no more, is it Ted? That's why gas is so expensive. Our oil is exported...

[rickstevens]

We got 3% of imported oil from Russia. How could prices go up the week the war started..

[barrettcoheley]

Yea yea yea ...., gas prices didn't keep you from fleeing your constituents on an airplane in their time of crisis.

Ted Cruz is an American Patriot. He speaks the truth!

ExxonMobil is experiencing record profits this last quarter .

[johnpaterini]

With oil demand so weak due to COVID-19 restrictions, places to store unwanted crude filled up, and traders in oil futures scrambled to unload their positions in crude. Eventually, some had to pay buyers to take future oil deliveries off their hands.

Negative prices didn’t last long, but oil stayed very cheap for much of 2020. That led energy companies and major oil exporting countries in OPEC to slash their production because no one wanted to give away barrels of oil at such rock-bottom prices.
