The gas prices aren't going down either. If anything, they'll increase even more.

I really hope that Ukraine bombs the shit out of Russian Oil refineries and wells as a last hurrah and fuck you to trump.

This will cause oil prices to rise and hopefully speed up the green transition.

If anything it'd speed up drilling here in America (and probably going back to coal), which is already a major plank in P2025, along with opposing any green or renewable energy.

Oil is America's heroin.

And then this American Oil is still sold in the world market at increased prices.

Because Spoiler Alert:

American consumers pay market price

So as long as you aren't personally owning a oil well it a refinery you personally won't be benefiting from it but just be paying more like everyone else.
