Yea like I have said before $10 a gallon to start, then shutting refineries, pipelines etc. If you can control their movement you can control the people.

Covid lockdowns are a dry run.

There will be no shutdown of pipelines if Biden gets in. We will be a Chinese puppet and China needs oil. Fracking will increase, soybeans will be shipped to China for food and not used for fuel and the forests will be logged bare to send timber to China.

The greeny climate alarmists will be out of luck. China cares naught for pollution, they will strip our resources. That is why they manufactured so many ballots for Mr. Potato Head and started the payoffs to the Bidens.

Gallup - Sept 14-28 2020: Most Say They Are Better Off Now Than Four Years Ago
(scroll down) During his presidential campaign in 1980, Ronald Reagan asked Americans, “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?” Since then, this question has served as a key standard that sitting presidents running for reelection have been held to.
Gallup’s most recent survey found a clear majority of registered voters (56%) saying they are better off now than they were four years ago, while 32% said they are worse off.

the Oil & Gas state of Pennsylvania allegedly voted for Biden...because they didn’t believe him?

24 Nov: Philadelphia Inquirer: The GOP warned Susquehanna County voters that Biden would ban fracking. Few believe it will happen.
by Jason Nark
The GOP’s scare tactics were meant to drive registered voters of both stripes and no stripes, a total of 27,228, into the protective embrace of Donald Trump. But most of the residents interviewed by The Inquirer postelection, people familiar with fracking and the royalty checks it brings in, said they knew it wouldn’t be going away anytime soon, even under a Biden administration.
It’s “impossible for Joe Biden to stop fracking,” said Marvin Durland, a lifelong Democrat. “Now, he might make it tougher and have more laws on it. But that’s a good thing.”...

President Trump still swept the county, about 150 miles north of Philadelphia, and his portion of the total vote bumped up slightly to 69.7%, from 68.6% in 2016. Biden came in at 28.5%, but pulled in 20% more votes than Hillary Clinton did four years ago. Richard Ainey, chairman of the county Democratic Party, called that a moral victory — a sign that Trump himself, not fracking, was the issue.
“That means I had Republicans and Independents vote for Biden,” he said...

Many landowners receive royalties from the gas companies and have wells on their properties...
Alan Hall, a Republican and Susquehanna County commissioner, said the gas industry has paid out $2 billion in royalties to property owners over the last decade. He said the industry has helped fund hospitals, community centers, and fire stations. Cabot Oil & Gas is Pennsylvania’s second-largest producer of natural gas, but the dominant one in the county with 800 wells...
Ainey said he was able to eliminate property taxes in New Milford thanks to impact fees paid by the gas companies. “There’s no such thing as a poor municipality here,” he said...

10 Nov: The Conversation: Biden’s stance against fossil fuels didn’t turn away voters in Pennsylvania and other key states
by Sibo Chen, Assistant Professor, School of Professional Communication, Ryerson University
Disclosure statement: Sibo Chen receives funding from Ryerson University and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

The state sits atop the Marcellus shale, a major source of natural gas; it is the second-largest producer of natural gas in the U.S., after Texas. The industry employs about 32,000 people in Pennsylvania...

Some speculated that Biden’s stance on fossil fuel divestment, especially his comments during the final presidential debate on moving away from fossil fuels, might have turned away voters worried about their job security in these key states. Yet, the election results have shown the opposite...
Prior to this election, climate change was a peripheral concern during presidential campaigns and debates...

In Pennsylvania, Biden has managed to win 49.8 per cent of the votes, which is a solid performance considering Trump’s strong pro-fracking push in Pennsylvania days before the election...
In the southwest and northeast corners of the state where fracking activities concentrate, Trump held a decisive lead. In Bradford County, one of the most fracked places on the planet, Trump received over 70 per cent of the votes...

Although election results suggest that fossil fuel divestment did not negatively impact Biden’s overall election performance, it remains a pivotal and polarizing topic for many states, and could be a challenge for future progressive contenders...
