In your expert commodity pricing opinion/method, how much do you ascribe pricing deltas to each of:

1. General inflationary forces 2. Disruptions in the euro market due to Russia/Ukraine 3. Global output / pricing forces 4. Biden’s future/sentiment based policy positions

I'm not trying to explain high oil prices, I'm trying to explain why US oil producers aren't quickly ramping up production despite the high prices.

From April 2021-22, US oil production increased by just 400K barrels per day, compared to 1.4M from April 2017-18 and 1.6M from April 2018-19.

And prices were lower back then.

But does it explain it though? Ramping up production because prices are currently high can be a losing strategy, since the price of gas is volatile, and ramping up production is slow, and expensive.

btw, even if I disagree, I don't think your comments should be dv'd. part of productive dialogue

Unfortunately, it's normal.

There are a lot of Democrat partisans here who upvote any pro-Biden nonsense, however poorly supported, and downvote any con-Biden facts, however well sourced.

Advancing their cause matters more to them than seeking truth.
