    Policies aren’t causing high gas prices. That’s the whole point, here. The industry isn’t interested in developing new wells for reasons other than government policies.

    The countries now buying Russian oil are the likes of China and India. US production isn’t going to be fueling either of them.

      a lot of countries are buying Russian oil not just those 2. many of them backed off on the boycotts already and signed some agreement to buy russian oil, but only at “below market rates” to make themselves feel better.
