There is a worldwide shortage and price spike of oil.

I know you could never understand it, few posters here could, I'm surprised you only got 2 green dots.
Why do you insist on saying things that are patently untrue. Supply and demand is a simple concept understood by even young school children.
The extension to the Keystone Pipeline would have carried tar sands oil, the dirtiest in the world.
(snip remaining political environmental points, since supply and demand have nothing to do with dirt)
I think a breakthrough could happen if those on the right and left, (wait a minute, Percy's not on the left) liberals and conservatives, (nope, Percy isn't a liberal) how about pro Trump versus anti Trump? Does that work? The breakthrough could happen if the two sides could come to an understanding about supply and demand. Focusing on this part of what I said;

Lets work through it sentence by sentence.

There is a worldwide shortage and price spike of oil.
That's false? There is no worldwide shortage and price spike of oil? Please explain, take all the space you need.

Any blockage of transportation or production from ANY one place to ANY other place in the world is going is going to cause an increase in scarcity and price.
That's false? Any blockage of transportation or production from any one place to any other place in the world is going to cause a DECREASE in scarcity and price? Or not have any effect? Please explain.
quote
In oil or any product.
That's false? There would be variations from product to product if production and transportation of it was slowed or stopped? Some products would increase in volume when production of them was slowed or stopped, while other products would stay the same or decrease?
Please break it all down and explain why any part of my above paragraph is false.
P.S. Anger and vulgar language will be beneficial to the pro Trump side, not the anti Trump side.
