Oil Company Execs Fight Back

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 7, 2022

THE LEFT IS SO PREDICTABLE. THEY RECYCLE FAILED IDEAS AND POLICIES, APPARENTLY THINKING IF THEY REPEAT THEM OFTEN ENOUGH PEOPLE WILL COME TO BELIEVE THEM.

TOP OIL COMPANY EXECUTIVES FACED MEMBERS OF A HOUSE COMMITTEE YESTERDAY. DEMOCRATS ACCUSED THEM OF “PRICE GOUGING” AND BLAMED THEM FOR THE RECORD HIGH PRICES AT THE PUMP. THIS TIME THE EXECUTIVES FOUGHT BACK. THEY NOTED IT WAS DEMOCRAT POLICIES AGAINST EXPLORATION THAT HAS CAUSED THE PRICE HIKES. REMEMBER JUST TWO YEARS AGO THE UNITED STATES WAS ENERGY INDEPENDENT. WE WERE EXPORTING GAS AND OIL TO OTHER COUNTRIES. THEN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DECIDED TO LAUNCH A WAR AGAINST PETROLEUM AND BEG FOR OIL FROM IRAN, RUSSIA AND VENEZUELA. NOW THEY’RE SAYING WE OUGHT TO BUY ELECTRIC CARS. BUT THEIR AVERAGE COST IS $40 THOUSAND, WHICH MOST PEOPLE CAN’T AFFORD AND BESIDES, BATTERY POWER MUST COME FROM SOMEWHERE AND IT’S NOT WINDMILLS AND SOLAR PANELS. IT’S PETROLEUM.

DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? VOTERS DO AND IT’S A MAJOR REASON PRESIDENT BIDEN’S APPROVAL NUMBERS ARE LOW AND DECLINING. I’M CAL THOMAS.
