#Energy companies such as #Exxon & #Chevron do not set the price of #US #oil, which ricocheted from $68 to $115 a barrel during the quarter. It’s driven by supply & demand, & what traders, refiners & other buyers are willing to pay.

Nevertheless, #Democrats in #Congress introduced bills in March to tax major oil producers for profits they show from 2026 onward & have the tax proceeds redistributed to #consumers.

“When you compare that to the hundreds of millions of people who are struggling with rolling #blackouts, with #electricity curbs, #rationing, waiting in line for #food queues, or the disruption to #fertilizers & the potential impact that that has on food #prices, we don’t think that it’s a justifiable price for the rest of the world to be paying,” Galey added.

Supplies ran low in some countries, leading to sporadic #fuel #rationing in Australia & government office closures in Nepal & Sri Lanka.

@therightarticle Interesting.

This is 'backs' in the sense of 'votes for'. As in the Daily Heil reading "I saw it on Facebook / Xitter" "my mate down the pub said" demographic.
