I assumed this was in Mammoth or one of the places where trucking in gas is 
very difficult.

Back in 2016 dad and I were moose hunting in Grand Lake Stream, Maine: 
https://goo.gl/maps/ZajrbzssB8jMGcbW7
IIRC gas was $5/gal where it was something like $2/gal out at the highway. It 
was then that I realized the gas was trucked in in 55 gallon drums. The extra 
price was the shipping.
Thats what you get in a town of 230 people at the end of a dead end road.

Good moose hunting though.

Nothing is impossible.
If they can't reverse it, they'll just tie it up in the courts for a few 
years until it doesn't matter any more.


Look at the Line 5 tunnel under the Straits of Mackinac, designed to 
protect a vital pipeline from freighter captains dropping anchors where 
they're not allowed to. It was approved legislatively, so that it could 
only be unapproved by a similar act of legislation. When the reins of 
government changed hands in Michigan, the new Governor and Attorney 
General declared the existing pipeline unsafe and demanded its immediate 
shutdown, while using taxpayer dollars to file suit against the safer 
replacement to halt construction. That cost a lot of time the pipeline 
company and the residents of the UP can never get back, along with 
millions of dollars the pipeline company can never get back.

And make impossible to reverse by executive fiat.

Here's part of what killed nuclear energy in the US.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/nuclear-fuel-reprocessing

Key sentence. "In 1977, President Jimmy Carter canceled the licensing of the 
Barnwell plant, stranding half a billion dollars of private investment. When 
the reprocessing ban was quietly lifted in 1981 during the Ronald Reagan 
administration, there was no longer viable commercial interest in reprocessing 
within the United States."


There will be no additional refinery capacity built in the US. It's been 
killed. There will be no additional pipelines from Canada to the US built. 
They've been killed. If you expect ANY corporation to invest more than fifty 
cents in ANY project that can be cancelled by one man, you are dreaming.

The US is done.

Care to talk politics?

The issue isn't the price of crude it's refinery capacity: 
https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=52718

Exports of refined products are up, probably to support Europe:

If the government really wanted to do something about the price of gas/diesel 
they'd help to get new refinery capacity built...

I thought I'd scored on Saturday when I saw diesel for $5.94, then I realized 
it was "with a carwash". Fortunately the Jetta needed a scrub anyway...
