Here we go again - shrinking 6 National Monuments for Oil & Gas extraction

And we are stopping clean energy at that same time. He shut down an off shore wind farm that has already been approved that would supply 500,000 homes with energy.
We have a surplus of gas but yet gas prices remain high. ??? $$$
 
Gosh, we've been able to buy gas here in Tucson for under $3.00/gal for at least six months!! I can imagine it high in California, but Texas surprises me. I'm often surprised when folks talk of high gas prices.
I've generally thought highly of government employees. I like roads, weather reports, parks, firemen waiting to rescue somebody.

It's weird because Phoenix is a "fuel island" meaning we don't have a pipeline, all our gas/oil is trucked in and we're still under $3/gal.
 
Special CA blends. High state taxes. Two refineries have closed recently. Not exactly a secret that CARB and the guv would like to push us into electric vehicles. +
 
Yes, there is that as well. It’s too bad we can’t just leave everything alone. But “drill baby drill” isn’t any better with just as many downsides, especially with oil leaks. I kayak in the Gulf of MEXICO a lot ant the trash, gas and oil leaks I see from all the rigs is sickening.
Bottom line is just too darn many people.
 
There is a weirdly wrong notion that the USA has a lack of oil & gas production. Last time I checked we are the leading oil & gas producer in the world. I do not know why some people insist we need more -- at the expense of our national monuments.
As informant "Deep Throat" said during Watergate, "Just follow the money."

Not as bad as some, but in my neck of north-central Nevada, gas is still $3.45 for off brands, $3.99 for name brands. Central and eastern Nevada doesn't use California blend, but get our fuel out of a Salt Lake City depot.
