When demand is high and supply is low of course their is a profit component.. its our economy. But again, to say who the president is doesn't matter when it comes to oil prices is silly. And the apple article you posted above is biased as hell. Biden on his first day shut down pipelines and increased all regulations and voided permits that already existed. The market only reacts to these moves. There is money to be made when you cut off supply. But this falls on his desk. Green energy will NOT solve problems, it will only create new ones like costs to the consumer. There is no reason to not be energy independent instead of relying on violent countries to supply it too us. And if anyone can do it in an environmentally secure manner its the US. NOT russia and china. But i guess its okay if everyone else is polluting the world. The logic doesn't make sense.
