| #5 Using 20 gal avg. size Mid-Size Car Gas Tank. 16.6 Million gallons of gas = 830,000 gallon of gas that would not have been pumped a day. Avg. 15 miles P/Gal = 12,450,000 miles not driven on avg. every 5 days... Now figure how many stores would not be shopped at. |

| #4 Up front Biden did not turn the whole KeyStone Pipeline YET just stopped the KeyStone XL Phase 4 part? If he had turned off the whole KeyStone Pipeline, he would have turned off one of the top 3 US Major Crude pipelines. A Pipeline that already provides 830,000 barrels of Alberta tar sands oil per day to refineries on the Gulf Coast of Texas and Southern Illinois. If those Environmental Idiots in DC had they would have reduced Gas and Diesel output as follows: Reduced Gasoline production by: 16,600,000 (16.6M) Gal. a day. Reduced diesel fuel production by: 9,960,000 (9.96M) Gal. a day Remember the Russians started a Crude Oil Price War back in April 2020 ($20 a barrel) just as the Pandemic mortality rates were Peaking. Looking at a Oil Price Chart 2000-2021 adjusted for inflation: (OIL PRICES) $55 to $85 seems to be the normal range over the last 20 years (eliminating spikes). |

| #3 #1 YES, Carter years again but with triple inflation. Dems never fix anything. They just throw money at it or that but elites skim off the top. |
