2. The pipeline being complained about would not be built until NEXT YEAR even if it was approved 100% and construction had begun on it last year. So it would have ZERO impact - zilch, nada, on TODAY's gas prices.

3. The main petroleum companies in the world have published record profits for 2020, before the price spikes began. They're not hurting for distribution. They're putting a choke-hold on it because it is in their best financial interest to do so. The rich folks running the show can afford $6/gallon gas, especially when they're earning several million dollars every year in profits.

Summary: Gas prices are going up because oil companies have CHOSEN to jack up the prices. It's as simple as that.

So YOUR conspiracy theories are correct and everyone else's are wrong? Cool...
