Politifact: Claim that Biden's Keystone pipeline order drove gas prices up is rated "FALSE""

So wait, wait, wait. Let me get this straight. These motherfuckers on this forum post GatewayPundit and ImARetardConservative.com articles left and right and you're cool. But when a well-respected poster puts up a Politifact article you have to *checks notes*

Take 20 minutes to look up every donor to the website and show it to all of us.

I take it you don't like it when you confronted with facts. That is ok, because most people don't and choose to go through the world blindly. Don't you believe in doing your own research on matters?

May as well get your 'facts" from thethe Onion.

The Cabal always tries to take the little guys out that tell the truth. And they will try to tarnish their reputations and kill their characters not to mention try to bankrupt their companies. That is nothing new. If you are not part of the Cabal, you have to fight to stay alive because they will take you out if you go against their agenda and propaganda. Look what happened to JFK and they literally took him out.
Tell me about it.
The Cabal is holding me hostage right now, they're asleep right now.
Not only that, they're holding me hostage in a Motel 6, somewhere in Arkansas, all they give me are subway subs.
Now I get it, SUBWAY is part of the cabal.
 
Yes, I know who the billionaire conservative Koch brothers are. Which is why I found it so odd that you were showing me a list of donors that included them to try to show me that Politifact was a liberal agenda.

...Are you feeling okay?

At the top they don't fight over liberal and conservative like the slaves are supposed to do. That is another way to control people by keeping them fighting. It is all about money and control at the top.
Ohhh okay. So you put George Soros (billionaire liberal) in bold for all of us, but ignored the Koch brothers (billionaire conservatives) from being bolded in your post. And now you're going to backstep a couple times and say they're all the same and you hate them all. Oh did I say backstep, I meant bitchstep.
You do know only one koch brother is alive right?
 
Wait, are you telling me the oil market is a global commodity that is highly interconnected and that the President of 1 country doesn't pull a daily lever to set the oil prices after he puts his slippers on in the morning?

Yeah, okay dude, hahahaha. Next you'll be saying Biden won the fraudulent election. XD Sad!
Wait you telling us a anti fracking, anti drilling, anti pipeline, pro green president goal is not to make gas prices high?
Really?
The pipeline isn't even in use.
Just because Biden stopped permits for new drilling and fracking on FEDERAL lands, they are still drilling and fracking with their existing permits.
What about state land permits?
What about private land permits?
NOTHING preventing oil companies from getting those permits.
After getting a permit to drill or frack, it takes months for oil to come out of the ground.
Biden has nothing to do with today's oil prices.
COULD be the 3 Texas refineries that were shut down by the cold snap they had.


Seriously dude, I could care less, but the premise is how in the world could a pro green president want cheap oil prices?

Because when you use less of a product, you have more of product, retained.
Pro green?
Energy companies are ONE of the leaders in green energy.
All corporations are going with cheaper alternatives to oil energy.
Actually, I think the government shouldn't have to lift a finger for green energy, corporations are already doing the work for them.

Well no kidding, now tell that to frenchy
 
Nah because fuck corporations lmao. Whatever crack Smoking OP is on, I don't want any. Corporations ain't doing jack shit about climate change, and to sit here and post that the government doesn't need to help because corporations are "leading the way" is like...my head just exploded from the bullshit I read.

Punky brewster you're proving to be a shrill, fossil fuel has spent billions of dollars in green energy since the 1970s

Corporations, engineers and architects are doing it every day.
It saves their customers $$$.
 
The independent Pulitzer winning website notes that the pipeline wasn't even operational, despite the fake news spread by Facebook right winger Ted Nugent.
Facebook flagged the fake news too.
The good news is that if you like fake news, the false claim is widely available in USMB, where right wing nicknames gladly copy and paste what Ted Nugent types.

No, the price of gas isn’t up 50 cents, price of food isn’t up 10% under Biden
IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT
  • The average price of gas is about 34 cents per gallon higher since Biden took office.
  • Experts say Biden’s orders on the Keystone pipeline and oil and gas leasing might affect future gas prices, but have no effect on current prices.
  • Grocery store prices are 3.5% higher than they were one year ago and have risen less than 1% in 2021.
See the sources for this fact-check

Are President Joe Biden’s executive orders so powerful that, in the less than two months he’s held office, they have spiked the price of gasoline by 50 cents and the price of food by 10%?
That’s the claim of a post widely shared by musician Ted Nugent and others on Facebook.
It says: "When executive orders cause gas to go up 50 cents a gallon and food costs to increase 10%, you just taxed the middle class."


The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)
Biden began issuing executive orders on Jan. 20, the day of his inauguration. The claim we’re checking was posted March 7. Let’s see what’s happened in between.
Gas up 34 cents; orders not a factor
Since bottoming out at $1.87 a gallon in late April 2020, gas prices have mostly been going up. The bulk of the increase came under President Donald Trump, with prices continuing to rise under Biden.
Nationally, the average price of a gallon of gas was $2.46 on Jan. 18, the final weekly tally before Biden took office. It rose to $2.80 on March 1, the latest weekly tally before the Facebook post, according to the U.S. Energy Administration. That’s an increase of 34 cents under Biden.
The prices were similar at GasBuddy.com: $2.41 on Jan. 19 and $2.77 on March 7 — an increase of 36 cents.

Some critics have said that Biden’s cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline with one executive order would quickly result in higher gasoline prices. But we previously found that, for several reasons, that’s not the case. For starters, the pipeline wasn’t operating yet, so canceling it didn’t change the balance of supply and demand.
In the same executive order, Biden placed a moratorium on oil and gas leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska. But Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy.com, said that action has not affected current gas prices either, because current oil supplies are not affected. The order could, however, have an impact on gas prices in a few years, he said.
In general, a president has limited control over the weekly and monthly shifts in gasoline prices. Gas prices depend mostly on global supply and demand.
The OPEC oil cartel and Russia have made voluntary production cuts, which has the effect of raising prices. A greater impact has been made on prices by demand, as a result of the slow but steady economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

We only refine the light oil here in the U.S.; 97% of the Canadian sludge is exported. It has no effect on American gasoline prices.
