When you tell your customers of the price increase make sure you wear your MAGA hat.

Correct, prices will be passed on to the consumer. I pass on the extra costs of all goods and materials.

Some believe that “Big Oil” should be held financially accountable for climate-related disasters, such as California’s wildfires. Their rationale? Major oil and gas companies are profitable and have contributed significantly to atmospheric carbon emissions. A recent press release—“Chevron & Exxon could easily cover LA wildfire damages”—claimed that “mega-rich oil firms like Chevron and Exxon are knowingly driving and profiting from the climate crisis.” Two California lawmakers have even introduced legislation to enable lawsuits against these companies. But do these claims hold up under scrutiny? The fires in California were caused by annual high winds and electricy lines that spartked when shorted out. the underbrush got going too fast for the fire departments to handle and hydrants were lacking water. Man made fire as is most on west coast. Lot of arsonists out there.

Prices are moving up with the reduction in oil inventories. Trump's policies will bring about greater reliance on oil products to support the American economy, there is no doubt about that. Some people confuse up with down...they should wake up. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/WTI-Stuck-Below-70-as-EIA-Confirms-Crude-Inventory-Draw.html "Crude oil inventories in the United States saw a decrease of 2.3 million barrels during the week ending February 21, according to new data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration released on Wednesday. Crude oil prices were mixed prior to the crude data release by the U.S. Energy Information Administration after the American Petroleum Institute (API) reported on Tuesday a dip of 640,000 barrels in U.S. crude oil inventories. The Brent benchmark was trading slightly down, off 0.05% at $72.98 at 10:24 am, just minutes before release. The WTI bechmark was trading slightly up at +0.03% at $68.95."

you need to adjust the bottom trend line....it is too high at the present day endpoint....should be lower by at least $5 then Mr Econ can explain to us again that down is up and the price of Oil is soaring at today's $69 WTI

Sad thing for old Ruffy is he won't see a price break at the pump. Refinery margins are low and tariffs on crude imports will be passed on to consumers. Record LNG exports means domestic rates will rise.

Keep telling me down is up. I showed you awhile ago the trends. The trends continue.

I didn't write the article Ecocharcher misunderstood; you seem to have also misunderstood it. Where was profit mentioned exactly? FYI forest fires are natural and are net-carbon neutral. The new trees that grow suck up the pollution their parents made.

Your reading comprehension is weak. That was not the point of the article, at all, read it again slowly. They say they are taking too large of a portion of the blame - not denying the climate climate change science. They agree there is foundation, but blame coal and other sources. Classic "but, but China does it more!" flawed argument. "Key Questions and Misplaced Blame To argue that Big Oil should be held primarily responsible for climate-related disasters, one must accept three questionable premises: Companies responsible for just 5.4% of total emissions should bear the bulk of the blame, while ignoring other major contributors, including coal producers and nationalized oil companies. Producers, not consumers, are responsible for emissions. Oil companies extract and refine fossil fuels, but consumers—individuals, businesses, and governments—burn them (while deriving benefit from doing so). A handful of Western corporations should be punished despite accounting for only a fraction of global fossil fuel production. The vast majority of oil and gas production comes from national oil companies, such as those in Saudi Arabia, Russia, and China."
