Well, if you already own an oil well, then Democrat policies are good for you, because they raise the price of oil.

Yep, and if you are heavily invested in "green" energy the loss of the gov subsidies will also hurt the bottom line.

By “doing more”, that amounts to creating an artificial scarcity, therefore higher prices. It also means that any competition is suppressed, that the entry costs for getting into the exploration, extraction, transportation, refining and retailing of petroleum products are set so high that only very expensive products may make it to market, and by applying price controls to the retail market, virtually guarantees rationing. “Cheap”, but you may only purchase two gallons a week. The Venezuela solution.

No way to run a railroad.
