> If Republicans control congress what will be different?

Um, well, a lot will be different, but nothing with regards to gas prices or inflation. And this is coming from somebody with a passionate bordering on maniacal hate for democrats.

US oil companies don't invest in new supply because you can't model a 10y return on your projects when the government could ban/heavily tax them sometime over those next 10 years.

So yes, a Democratic admin that cancels projects and talks about windfall tax on oil company profits does disincentivize new supply and raise the cost of oil/gas.

The net result may be even worse greenhouse gas emissions as poor countries turn to coal as a cheaper alternative to Oil.

The energy transition needs to be responsibly managed... a cold cutover will backfire in a huge way, as I'm sure we'll see in November

High gas prices is a "GOAL" of Democrats. They see it as a way to get US off fossil fuel.

1. Could have solve energy 50 years ago. Thanks Greenpeace

2. Let's all buy a $70,000 electric car. The insurance rate alone would negate any gas savings across a 40 year time frame for most people

It's like they are cheering us on to buy Teslas with money we don't have.

Why hatred? I am pretty far right, but I don't hate someone who is far left or moderate or whatever. They just have different opinions than I do. Don't let news media twist your soul in their quest for more clicks.
