And early on in Trump's admin, NPR was singing the blues with Oil men who were losing profits because of falling prices.

Oil prices were very low, unsustainably low for years. Now they are about right. Hope they just hang about here. If it weren’t for such high gas tax in California, the prices would be much lower, but here we are.

Search Patnet me railing against it, while the Libs posting the virtues of it, with charts and NYT and Huffington post articles to bolster their claims.
Don't play amnesia with me, you know what I'm talking about.

Some people have a memory that is absolutely LEGENDARY for being short and faulty. It’s why they vote Democrat.

I felt rising oil prices were a good thing under Bush and Obama, and falling oil prices are a good thing under Trump. I'll tell you why.
Nothing to do with politics and everything to do with environment.
In the past alternative fuels were not competitive with fossil fuels. Higher oil prices would make it more competitive, allowing for more more investment in alternative fuels to bring down costs.
Today, alternative fuels are competitive with fossil fuels, and the consistent fall in it's cost ensures fossil fuels have a zero probability of long time survival regardless of how low oil prices fall. I want no money going to the Middle East, don't care for big oil, and do want the US and the world to have better growth, which is what would happen with low oil prices.
It's that simple.

Fuck that and your over priced failed Nerd Car! If it's not feasible then there's a damn good reason for it, we shouldn't have to make me subsidize it.
They got tax breaks and incentives to buy them...
The Companies got government subsidies to make them...
Still what did we get Green Cars that didn't do that much better than say Mazda's fuel efficiency and they didn't get a penny.
Those Ugly ass Egg EV's only get 40mph while Mazda cars are getting 30 to 40 mph without the hybrid systems.

Why would you think I vote democrat? Not being a trumptard or a right wingnut doesn't equal being democrat

I asked where the articles were. Since TBP lives for this stuff I was sure he would have them handy. It's really that simple.

Why not you subsidize big oil every single day.
