Gas was $1.00 a gallon during the Iranian oil embargo in 1979. Using the Bureau of Labor Stats inflation calculator – that would be equivalent to $4.43 today!

Every republican, having relied on billionaire donors usually from fossil fuels, says they’re helping Americans by removing “pesky regulations “. They are simply referring to how it’s cheaper to pollute and exploit labor.

I just watched a t-ball game… that was the softest exchange ever. If I really wanted to know about the energy situation, I would ask scientists, not the dudes who don’t listen to scientists.
@neilifill4819It's not Trump's fault that gasoline costs $6.99 in Sanctuary States. I paid $3.75 yesterday because we don't have that many taxes here.
@DeerHunter-x5mLiar
@creative_mindsrus1541Biden inherited Covid economy and Russia attacked Ukraine. What is happening now is because of Trump and only Trump😡
@Sarahalto23We need more nuclear energy to lower our electricity bill.
We can't afford this gas price 😭.
And I thought Trump was an idiot!
@johnfreedlund3668President Donald Trump’s administration includes an unprecedented number of billionaires and ultra-wealthy executives, with an estimated collective net worth exceeding $460 billion. The administration features a heavily skewed balance of wealth, leaning overwhelmingly toward the ultra-rich.
@lostmysoul1595the Trump family and the UFC collaborated to sell a limited-edition "Freedom 250" 1 oz gold medallion that costs exactly $11,999.99. The medallions are sold on the Trump Coins platform and come in a protective case with a printed signature.
@lostmysoul1595A 1 oz gold coin of Donald Trump will generally only ever be worth its intrinsic melt value of gold, plus a minor premium. Because these are privately minted commemorative medallions rather than official legal-tender currency, their future worth relies almost entirely on global commodity markets.
@lostmysoul1595I paid $3.33 per gal in the Fort Worth area today.
@louise9359I don't know about you all but it's been coming down for the past week or more here in Baltimore County Md.
$3.71 for regular.
Babin, maybe we can find out where Sec. Granholm stashed $93 Billion?
““Yes, the U.S. Department of Energy committed approximately $93 billion in loans during the 76 days between Election Day in November 2024 and President Trump's inauguration in January 2025. This action was part of a last-minute spending spree by the Biden administration aimed at funding various green energy projects.
The urgency behind these commitments stemmed from concerns that the incoming Trump administration might not support such projects. The Loan Programs Office, which facilitated these loans, was created to provide funding for projects that private lenders would not finance. This significant financial activity raised questions about the long-term viability and oversight of these loans, especially given the rapid timeline for approval.”
Terrible answer...iran!iran! Nuclear weapons while Americans are getting poorer...what a heck is going on?
@JanetCookerReducing the demand is a surefire way. Look what happened during Covid. Prices dropped and the Himalayas were visible from Delhi, India for the first time 50 years. Promote EV, require higher fuel efficiency, alternative fuels...... Technology solutions are available unlike the will to buck big oil.
@MrKuireWe need more CLEAN energy, NOT more coal and gas. !!!
@crabbyappleseed8190So, Babin kisses Wright’s ass, Wright kisses Dump’s ass. What a profound exchange.
@SolidBlueNanTrump doesn't control the price of gas.

📰 Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) pressed Energy Secretary Chris Wright during a House Science Committee hearing on what the Trump administration is doing to bring down gas prices. Secretary Wright responded that the administration is "open to all ideas," including potentially suspending the federal gas tax.
