Yep.
Now wait for the people consumed by talking points they don’t understand to come in here with “leases”
The Brent is currently at ‘$126.53. US was at 130.53 on Sunday and currently at $121.98As you know, the world price of oil (otherwise known as the Brent crude price) is currently about $110 per barrel, while the American price is about $97 per barrel. The threshold question then, is why would we want to export oil and raise American oil prices to match the world's oil price? Big Oil clearly wants to pad their record profits and fetch a higher price for their oil. But considering that the five largest publicly traded oil companies made $118 billion in profits last year, I think they are doing just fine. I believe we should be more worried about the bottom line for American families.
As our nation continues on the path to economic recovery, it is critical that we support working class families who are carefully budgeting every dollar. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, U.S. households are spending nearly $3,000 a year on gasoline[1]. Over the last ten years, American consumers have seen average gas prices rise from approximately $1.50 a gallon in 2003 to approximately $3.50 per gallon today. Crude oil that is produced in the U.S. should be used to lower prices here at home, not sent to the other side of the world.
Menendez to Obama: Expanding Crude Exports Only Enhances Big Oil Profits | U.S. Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey

Gas prices fueling coming Democratic bloodbath in midterms, Republicans say
Vulnerable Democrats are facing a political bloodbath in the November midterms, Republicans say, as gas prices continue to climb from near-record highs following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.www.foxnews.com
Good luck in November, leftwingers. I hope that your doctrine to kill oil production in the US, will end up killing your party.

You might want to find an article that isn’t almost a decade old.
So ban exports and drive costs up? Domestically AND internationally?Senator Menendez predicted the bullshit about removing the export ban was BULLSHIT... He was ABSOLUTELY correct as we are seeing right now...
Businesses make profits.There is no doubt it is going to hurt them. There are just way too many who don't understand that this is conscious choice on the part of the oil companies mixed with a world crisis. It's just a whole bunch easier to accept the BS that this has something to do with government than show some intellectual curiosity. Way easier to bobble your head when told something than look into the matter.Matters not though because it's going to hurt them facts be damned.
Oil production hasn’t fallen.

You do know why it dropped off, right?
You keep believing that myth, it's funny.

What’s your definition of a bloodbath? Today’s numbers, redistricting, 46 states have completed their redistricting, 4 more remaining. There are 391 newly drawn districts; 44 districts remain to be redrawn. Out of the 391 newly drawn districts, there are 37 competitive, switchable, at risk districts. Currently held by 25 Democrats and 12 Republicans. Safe seats as of today, 179 Democratic, 175 Republican.Gas prices fueling coming Democratic bloodbath in midterms, Republicans say

Of course that means basically nationalizing the oil industry. Not just telling them they can't export it but also they must continue producing crude products and forcing them to ship them within the States for processing as well as telling them they must charge less.How long do you think the Government should take control of the oil industry? You do realize that's what you are suggesting don't you.So ban exports and drive costs up? Domestically AND internationally?
You realize we export oil from, for instance, the Gulf TO Mexico because it’s cheaper than shipping it to the East Coast for refinement, correct?
If we were to ban those exports of crude products and instead require them to stay domestic - the final cost per barrel to the American consumer goes up. You understand that, correct?

...regulations and taxes under this administration are in part responsible for the increased prices.
