It's sad that so many Americans just have no clue, but they love to blame someone. First, Russia and Saudi Arabia were having an oil war, which drove down prices last year, plus COVID created less demand for oil/gas. The pipeline for Canada's dirty oil (Keystone pipeline) that was shut down in January was only 8% complete. We weren't getting oil from it. All oil prices are set by the global oil market. Supply and demand determines the actual price. Also, if the oil Oligarchs only use half of their working drills to pump oil, then prices go up. Less pumped=higher prices, more pumped=lower prices.
Do your grandkids a favor, and leave them a cleaner earth. Buy an Electric Car.
