Is it true all Americans want higher gas prices?

Not directly, but three natural gas pipelines from Pennsylvania to NY/NJ are being shut down. Without those pipelines the cost of natural gas in those areas will double this winter. It is not specific to a pipeline from Canada, but does add significantly to the oncoming energy shortage with no plan in place to replace that energy before it is cut off.

These are the same people who are already affected by a shortage of electricity because the Indian Point nuclear plant was closed before any alternative source of power was created.
Canadian oil is sent to refineries on the gulf coast and exported. It is being done by rail in lieu of a pipeline. It does not significantly impact energy in the US. Do some research on this.

I'm sorry if I was not clear. I never said that the pipelines in Pennsylvania have anything to do with the Canadian pipeline. My point is that we are cutting off the use of fossil fuels before we have a realistic alternative and that will cause higher prices and shortages.

I am confused... I read gas/diesel prices are to high but yet the leaders want to choke off imports from the largest supplier.

56% of all oil imported into the US comes from Canada.

Yet Fed's and states like Michigan don't want these supplies.

(https://apnews.com/article/donald-t...t-and-nature-141eabd7cca6449dfbd2dab8165812f2

Michigan wants to close down Line 3 from Canada.

Do all Americans want no imported oil from Canada so gas prices go up or are supplies from friends in Russian and Arab countries more wanted?

Lots of Karens and victims over there.
Some good people, too.
I found out there’s a few regulars who run to admin when someone says/does anything political.

Heck no I don't want to pay more for anything!

I don't see how we get to "Green" energy in the common house without increasing nuclear facilities. No way no how, unless China's new Sun power is the new Source of Our energy usage. People want to blame cows for their methane... but the Rockets going into space, and EPA crickets. By the way, some talk of Lithium mines in our state is coming. I'm sure it will be great for the environment. Because isn't that the reason for all of this? Nobody talks cradle to grave. I am sure an equipment operator somewhere can tell you about all of the "green" trash he just buried.

We come here to discuss tractors and other aspects of rural life; not listen to your political nonsense. There are plenty of online places for you to share political perspectives and conspiracy nonsense. The site administrator is correct to ban this stuff and it has nothing to do with “communism.” You might want to look up the definition of communism. It ain’t this.

He didn’t mention communism, and he wasn’t talking about this site. Btw, it seems like you do want to discuss more than tractors and other aspects of rural life. :D

If you are really offended maybe stay on tractor threads and stay off of "Off Topic" thread!

Which is why we need to discuss expenses like gas. Gas prices are going to continue to go up unless there is a shift in the current thinking. And yes, to discuss that the folks that are currently making the decisions will come up.

Not even sure if I replied previously, but as far as thread title goes, consumers generally NEVER want increased prices.

So no, likely not true...on average for sure.

D2, that concept seems to be lost today. You really don't have to watch the same channel as me if you don't like what's on TV, right?

But, to get back on topic, I surely am not happy with prices being more than double what they were this time last year. I know what caused it, but at the risk of getting my hand slapped, I won't repeat what most of us already know.

You still missed his point. Fwiw, I don’t hang out at TBN. His point was that cancel culture is alive and well. You probably agree that there is cancel culture in play. He wasn’t saying the site was socialist.

It’s impossible for Admins to be completely fair all of the time. I understand that. Saying let’s go brandon, a phrase that most people don’t even understand, is not overtly political, so in this case, I think that a 2 week ban was a little heavy handed with zero warning. Yes, they can do it, but at some point, people realize what they are doing and they’ll lose half of their users. I think that implies that particular Admin’s leanings, but again that could be an unfair statement since I don’t hang out there.

And I saw last night where Ca is banning all gas powered mowers and small machines. ????????
Pretty soon there won’t be anything left TO cancel in California, except taxes and virtue signaling….I bet theres no end to either of those.

Some things deserve to be canceled
