I know people are bitching about this guy and the environment. Sadly, we are still dependent on gasoline. If people want prices at the grocery store to go down, diesel fuel needs to go down. That's what all the truckers are running their semis on. It's the fuel that is most important for shipping. I think this is a great pick. Gas will be down to $1.50 a gallon in a couple of years. Environmental nuts need to calm down.
The Biden administration didn't raise gas prices?? Like hello? (copy and pasting a previous comment) How do you think they'd lower the price of gas? Our economy is a laissez faire capitalism, meaning the government doesn't control the price of products. Prices are determined by supply and demand, the only way the government can influence prices is by enacting policies that affect the amount of supply or the methods involved in obtaining supply, which would factor into price (increased fracking and drilling for example). Gas prices sky rocketed 2021-2022 due to the covid quarantines and people no longer traveling. In beginning of 2020 gas wasn't being sold, so supply increased therefore prices plummeted, that was the cheap gas everyone raves about that Trump had nothing to do with. Gas prices were averaging up the first three years of his presidency. Oil companies started producing less gas in response to less gas usage at the start of covid, but this backfired once quarantine ended and society started moving again. Now by 2021-2022 there was less supply of gas, and more demand, so prices sky rocketed (the war in Ukraine didn't help either). As of now crude oil is being pumped more than ever before. Here's a chart: www.eia.gov/petroleum/production/ (you can also see the steep drop off right around 2020, like I mentioned, where less oil was being pumped in response to covid.) These were decisions handled by big business, not the government or whoever is the sitting President. This is capitalism functioning as intended. What changes could possibly be made by the Trump administration that would lower gas to $2.00 a gallon or lower?
@jonasc.3937 You must not be able to comprehend the fact that domestic gas refining will definitely lower prices. Buying from foreign sources is what keeps the prices expensive.

That's not the main purpose of the Department of Energy. Fuels and electricity is not what "energy" is referring to in the name. The Department of Energy is the successor to the Atomic Energy Commission which was the successor to the Manhattan Project. They are responsible for strategically important scientific research and the design, manufacture, and maintenance of the US Nuclear Arsenal. Fuels and electricity is just a fraction of what the DoE does. In the future, you might want to do some research before making a fool of yourself by stating ignorant assumptions with such confidence.
@dbattleaxe At least one function of DOE was to make the United States energy independent when Carter created it,or at least that's what he said.That boondoggle Synthetic Fuels Corporation was under DOE.So who's ignorant now?Reagan wanted to dismantle it but Congress would not approve.At least the SFC was ended.
Horrible idea, oil and gas isn't endless. Regardless of your stance, renewables will eventually be the future, by a matter of necessity, not by choice or "for the environment." It'll be because it's the only available option.
@@WhiteyMcPrivileged Sure kiddo what? I'm 26, the least you could do is respond with relevant information instead of disregarding everything I've said. Greener energy is more efficient. Technological advancement goes hand in hand with more efficient use of the energy available to us on this planet. Where do you think oil and natural gas comes from? It's decayed, aged, and pressurized plants and organisms from millions of years ago, and trapped gases produced by that decay. It really isn't endless, and when it becomes more scarce renewables would be the cheaper and more viable option (And it already is cheaper in some circumstances. Renewables make up almost a third of the entire world's energy production).

You would think for example if they are doing their job that they get discplined for doing something bad on their job and not being investigated on sonething unrelated to their job.
You should read about how and why the term “fossil fuels” was created. Fascinating stuff.
Trump is on a roll! Kash Patel would be an outstanding FBI Director!
let me hear your thoughts on matt gaetz hahaha
@@deadLEE15 I’m an Independent and a MAGA supporter. Honestly I like Gaetz’ staunch loyalty to President Trump but I was shocked he selected him.I can think of better qualified candidates. As far as the Democrats’ accusation against him, he’s innocent until proven guilty. Either way I don’t think he’ll get confirmed.
@@WhiteLeper I have to push back a bit, Gaetz was not just being accused by democrats, but other people in the world outside of politics. It isn't a political witch hunt, it is very real and dangerous. It looks like he was soliciting @#$ across state boarders with people not at the age of consent. This is called @#$ tr@ff!cking
What rocks do these slime-balls crawl out from under? Good grief! 😱
Trump is putting the dream team together. Very soon, America will be Great Again.
lol please because it went so well the first time right? Putting criminals, sex offenders and anti vaxers in positions of power doesn’t make anyone great
Wasn't great under him, but poorly educated ws cultists live in alternative reality
Scum
You think a single politician with golden toilets, that's what makes America great? Were you raised by squirrels?
for the rich, hope ur part of the 1%
Coal baby coal.let those steam engines get humming.
THIS IS GOOD NEWS
Thank you lord!!! We don't want electric vehicles at all!!!!
@@NoneofYourbusiness-j8x well idk about anyone else, but I’ve been on the edge of my seat waiting for flycycles🙋♀️
@@wendyparsons2980 Me too!
I favor abolishing the Department of Energy.It hasn't done a thing to make the United States more energy independent.
That's not the main purpose of the Department of Energy. Fuels and electricity is not what "energy" is referring to in the name. The Department of Energy is the successor to the Atomic Energy Commission which was the successor to the Manhattan Project. They are responsible for strategically important scientific research and the design, manufacture, and maintenance of the US Nuclear Arsenal. Fuels and electricity is just a fraction of what the DoE does. In the future, you might want to do some research before making a fool of yourself by stating ignorant assumptions with such confidence.
@dbattleaxe Don't call me ignorant.
@@David-yw2lv Then don't say ignorant things
@dbattleaxe At least one function of DOE was to make the United States energy independent when Carter created it,or at least that's what he said.That boondoggle Synthetic Fuels Corporation was under DOE.So who's ignorant now?Reagan wanted to dismantle it but Congress would not approve.At least the SFC was ended.
People mad about this are the same people who think fossil fuels are decomposed dinosaur bones
@@sj9158 I mean, they’re dead marine organisms (algae, bacteria, etc)
Sell any stock you have in renewables now! Gas is to high, we need $1 gas again!
Horrible idea, oil and gas isn't endless. Regardless of your stance, renewables will eventually be the future, by a matter of necessity, not by choice or "for the environment." It'll be because it's the only available option.
@@jonasc.3937
Hahahaha sure kiddo
GAS & EVERYTHING will be MORE EXPENSIVE thanks to TRUMP'S TARIFFS PLAN!
@@WhiteyMcPrivileged Sure kiddo what? I'm 26, the least you could do is respond with relevant information instead of disregarding everything I've said. Greener energy is more efficient. Technological advancement goes hand in hand with more efficient use of the energy available to us on this planet. Where do you think oil and natural gas comes from? It's decayed, aged, and pressurized plants and organisms from millions of years ago, and trapped gases produced by that decay. It really isn't endless, and when it becomes more scarce renewables would be the cheaper and more viable option (And it already is cheaper in some circumstances. Renewables make up almost a third of the entire world's energy production).
@@jonasc.3937
Too bad everything you believe is false.
Drill baby drill is what the majority of the country voted for. Going against it seems pretty un democratic
Say goodbye to pristine Alaska and coastlines. Hope you like tar covered feet, beachgoers.

Cry baby cry 😂😂😂😂😂
You have been conditioned to fear everything.
Is this Gretta? How dare you?
@MrDavidk wish you was like me don't you a real man .lol.
Well with Trumps cabinet choices now I believe that not only we as Americans are in big trouble but the whole world is. That is to say that I wasn’t happy with Biden’s policies either and again not just inside our country but again worldwide.
Oh geez...there's a surprise. Not.
Someone competent? Unlike what we have now.
Good!
Yall gonna get what you ask for. American politics, what an embarrassment.
Can’t wait for cheap gas again.Hope we stop subsidizing 100,000$ electric cars for rich.Law fare should be criminalized.
😂 cheap gas isn’t coming, genius
GFY
LMAO you MAGA’s are so effin d u m b
@ I know Gavin Newsom is raising gas tax 45 cents a gallon January in Comifornia.But you keep believing democrats only raise taxes on the rich😂🤣
You realize his pick for "Department of Government Efficiency" owns a company that produces electric cars, correct?
Please nominate Oscar the Grouch to be in charge of sanitation.

It’s get worse by the day
Only for you communists
It only sucks when you're dumb.
Intelligent people can see past the brainwashing.
They just added gasoline - this fires going to cook hot and bright.
Let them have it - they voted for it.
Schitt I've got extra lighters for them too.
Seems like the most “decent” selection so far (but the guy likely denies climate change is occurring, but that is to be expected from this administration).
Who else would he pick as Energy Secretary? Legacy media really sucks!
Not a CEO of a fracking company that owns stock in O&G?
He has advanced degrees in both Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. Plus he has experience in the energy business.
He better get prices down.
Why on earth would they go down? Wright is the CEO of Liberty Energy, an oil company. His only incentive will be to drive prices up.
Wait - you think that anyone that owns stock in an industry is going lower prices?
He owns stock.
He's the CEO of Liberty Oil.
Baby, he's going to turn the spigot to your bank account on and Scrooge McDuck into his vault. Your money is now his.
“First Republican to win the popular and electoral vote since 2004”… only Trump himself has been a Republican president since then 😂
The most corrupt cabinet ever.
Nah. That's Obama and his administration
Which Clinton is right behind him. If they didn't off their witnesses to travel gate then the Clinton's would be in prison and Bill would've been impeached after is 3rd year in office.

Have you tried crying harder?
Lol.... well, I'd love some evidence. Been 8 years, still nothing.
Energy secretary controls our nuclear weapons too , is that correct?
No. 😂😂😂😂😂
Please tell me you didn't vote with that dumbass take
Trump 2024!
Just when I was starting to think Trump might drain the swamp for real this time he goes and appoints a oil CEO
Lol. He put his daughter and son in law straight into the White House, made hundreds of millions when they were in office. And Jared Kusher got 2 billions from the Saudis right after he left office . And they pay him 20-30 millions for management fee. Getting rid of thr swamp much ? 😂
Meanwhile china is developing Fusion Energy 😅 this guy will take us back in time for sure anyways no need to drive when we are all broke
you are already a brainwashed zombie so you dont have to worry about anything loser
Exactly.
My God yall are so easy to scam.

You’re ultra mad. 😂

@@brian6speedwe are producing more fossil fule today than under trump
Hyperbolic a bit huh.
😂😂 but we need to stop relying on the middle east’s oil right 😂😂
Great pick
We are (literally) cooked.
Those of us who have been falsely accused understands how. So the only one who understands whether he is accused fairly or unfairly is Gaetz as appointed AG, it is up to him to accept or decline the appointment. It is up to those with evidence to furnish such for his disqualification. Trump understands this as the demos accused him left and right without proper evidence and now?
And now you cult on....
😂😂😂 you really do live in an alter reality.
It was an absolutely stupid selection whether the accusations are true or not
Who is he going to nominate for global warming and environmental protection secretary?
John Leonard Orr
Dr Seuss.
WHHHAAATTTT ?.
Nomination for Secretary of Energy....IS NOT A PERSON from Texas....?.
Uuuuhhhhhh....LOTS OF TEXANS will get ANGRY with this decision.
Goooodddd !.

So nuclear for 100% of our infrastructure w/ an increase in military budget to protect the plants new & old? Absolutely I agree!
Why are you here hypocrite!
LOL! Stay in your La La Land.

Keep digging, keep drilling, keep fracking baby!

Yeah, just what the Nation needs. More oligarchs running the Government. Wonder much his company is going to make while he's the Secretary of Energy?😐

Please stop fracking 😢
Kamala didn't seem to mind
I hope you live in a mud hut in the woods. Obviously you have a smartphone or computer so you clearly enjoy the benefits of oil energy.
(Fossil fuels is a made up term designed to propagandize masses)
Nope. We need oil. It's not stopping
Please stop driving your car and wearing polyester clothes.
Drill baby drill!
Stop the smear👎
They have a problem with his every pick.
You are insane
Because none of them make sense. It’s like he’s purposely picking the exact opposite people for assigned jobs.
Yea Im mean considering Matt Gaetz was doing weird things with minors. Yeah that's probably why there's a "problem"
Cause they’re doing what Project 2025 said. To put loyalist into position that will empty out the departments and give him more power. Basically every single one of them are the opposite of a person that should have that position.
It be like if the President of NRA was anti-gun. Hiring a drug addict to be head of DEA. That’s the problem. Can you not see it?
You know Carrot Top and Jared from Subway are up next.
