... most major US oil companies are currently making record profits because of the war in Ukraine.
These same companies have 9,000 un-utilized oil leases in the USA from which they could pump more oil to help bring supply back in line with demand. All the permits are granted, they could start drilling tomorrow.

Biden tells US oil refiners record profits are ‘not acceptable’
President Joe Biden told US oil refiners that unprecedented profit margins are unacceptable and called for “immediate action” to improve capacity as the soaring price of gasoline feeds record inflation and fears of a recession.
“At a time of war, refinery profit margins well above normal being passed directly onto American families are not acceptable,” Biden said in a letter sent Wednesday to top oil companies.
Biden said his administration was prepared to take any “reasonable and appropriate” steps that would help companies increase output in the near term and said he’s ordering Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to hold an emergency meeting on the subject in the coming days.
The president added that the federal government will open talks with the National Petroleum Council -- an advisory committee representing the industry -- and called on companies to provide the Energy Department with an explanation of why they have cut capacity and what could be done to address gas prices that now average more than $5 per gallon nationwide.
"At a time of war" America is not at war . When we were in Iraq and Afghanistan actually fighting gas prices did not go up like this . As much as you would like this is not a socialist country . This administration has tied the hands of the oil companies and now want to tell them how to run there companies and what kind of profits they should make . November 2024 needs to get here quick
