I’m betting a 90% windfall profits tax on obscene energy company profits would push the price down quickly.

They are likely nuts for growing gas.

No⛽ from Russia poor Biden 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So get Zelensky to settle!

Fact checkers investigated Biden's claim and found it to be completely false. In reality, it's the fossil fuel companies price gouging that's pushed up prices, with a side-order of sanctions on multiple oil producing countries.

Of course he did. Nothing is his fault! The oil companies, Trump and now Putin are to blame apparently.
