2022 Thursday — Gasoline Prices

(I forgot to Blip this a week ago— so here it is.)

The Mobil Gas Station is in Morro Bay.
The Chevron Gas Station is slightly inland from the coast, in San Luis Obispo which is a college town.

Prices are climbing. Biden says it’s Putin’s fault. Most of us remember that the former administration had America energy independent. Seems like this would be a good time to do that again.

Even Elon Musk has remarked that this should be done:

Business & Politics Review March 5, 2022 by Chris Donaldson, headline: “Elon Musk calls for immediate increase in domestic oil for good of US, against his own business interests.”

“With gas prices set to explode through the stratosphere as a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict adversely affecting the domestic oil supply on top of President Joe Biden’s disastrous energy policies, billionaire Elon Musk is urging quick and dramatic action from Washington.

In a tweet that immediately drew attention, the Tesla co-founder and CEO put his country before profits from his company which is a leading producer of electric vehicles by calling for more domestic fossil fuel production.

‘Hate to say it, but we need to increase oil & gas output immediately, ‘wrote Musk. ‘Extraordinary times demand extraordinary measures.’ ”


Seems like someone would take some measures. This situation is out of control.
