Irv Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I filled up my tank yesterday. Well not really. The pump stopped at $100. I figure I should top off as often as possible while the gas price moves swiftly towards $10. Nice work Demented Biden! What a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other component in the US is the nation's declining refining capacity. In 2014, the last gas price spike, the US had 142 operating gasoline refineries. In 2021, it's 129. Refining crude oil through a straw. In 1990, the US had 205 gasoline refineries in operation. https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=8_NA_8O0_NUS_C&f=A 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming a deal can be reached Iran can produce about 1 million barrels per day. However, Israel has said in no uncertain terms that a nuclear Iran is a "red line" and not acceptable. So a deal with Iran could result in a near-term relief drop in the price of oil only to be followed by higher prices resulting from any Israeli military action. Although its impossible to say whether an attack on Iran's nuclear infrastructure would result in a one-and-done attack or escalate into a regional war.

The irony is that the US will likely use more coal to generate electricity in 2021 and 2022 than we did in the last decade, and I'll speculate that the four years in the Biden administration will see record coal consumption for generation. Coal companies here in PA can't find enough workers and can't fill the orders fast enough. Just like President Obama was the best salesperson a gun company could ever have, Biden will be the President that brings back the coal industry.
