I know that the US enjoys cheap gas prices. That’s not the fault of the consumer. Honestly, we need to be phasing oil out across the board - in everything from fuel to plastics. It won’t happen… until oil costs so much that people stop using it. Maybe that’s Trump’s plan… maybe… and I’m being extraordinarily sarcastic here: His whole plan is to end US oil dependancy by making it too expensive for anyone to buy.
