Isn’t it amusing, how every year, as they need to increase production to keep prices down, they SHUT DOWN refineries? Amazing that the wealthiest corporations IN THE WORLD, can’t plan ahead, well, except to figure out exactly how much they’ll charge for the product in six months. Granted, the “futures market” does play a role, but how much do those companies control the market? Oh, right, if the pride of crude goes up, it “punishes” them! HOW?? They’re doing, or controlling, the drilling and production! BTW, production in the U.S. is at record levels WITHOUT the “Keystone (for export only) pipeline”.
It’s okay. The majority of us sane voters who will keep the POTUS in place this next election aren’t so stupid as to think the President is responsible for all the blundering going on with the Republicans and Corporations.
