The use of "are for" indicates a primary purpose, as opposed to the 'common result' clearly implied.

Why not? The vast majority here think like you. Then again, never mind. We don't need your vote. We have enough already.

I know the vast majority of people in Utah are good people. I know that. I also know there are racist dimbulbs everywhere and I shouldn't let one particular racist dimbulb speak for an entire state.

Energy prices are indeed driven by a host of forces. Biden certainly has not helped though by blocking keystone xl pipeline, placing a moratorium on new drilling on federal lands, and pushing an esg agenda that ignores basic science.Oh weird. It’s almost like gas prices go up and down due to a host of forces. Weird. I still blame Biden. Why the hell not?
Gas Prices, a Big Inflation Factor, Are Coming Down Sharply
A four-week decline has offered some relief to drivers. Weather, war and demand will influence how long the decline lasts.www.nytimes.com
Capacity that was not needed, as the current pipelines suffice.
Which would have no effect on the 2022 supply of oil.
Not sure what "esg" is here,

He placed the moratorium as soon as he came into office. Its been in effect for almost two years now.
KXL probably wouldn’t have offered incremental barrels as TMX and rail are enough, but along with esg and permitting moratoriums, it just increases uncertainty in the energy space. Higher hurdle rates essentially close equity and debt markets to energy companies, starving investment for much need infrastructure build outs.
Is biden solely responsible for high energy prices? Certainly not. He hasn’t helped though.

This is just exploitation. McConnell and the GOP just hope this unhealthy man will be their useful idiot for more tax cuts and judges.

This ****ing guy.
So if this guy has a flying spaghetti monster sticker on the back of his truck then Herschel Walker kills him?
Cool ****ing story.
18 months, and that's not enough time to go from lease to pumping.
I still don't know what "esg" is. Is there a shortage of leases available? Has the cost of leases for the purpose of producing oil increased?
Not sure what he could have done that would have helped this year.

This is the celebrity effect in full bloom, where people of questionable intelligence and morality become celebrities through sports or entertainment, people tell them they are the greatest, they receive huge accolades in their chosen profession, they get millions of followers on social media, they get money, and by extension power, thrown at them left and right, they get fringe nut jobs "liking" everything they say, so they develop an inflated sense of their own intelligence and a heightened belief that their opinion matters more than everyone else's, for reasons. So they take that celebrity and end up in positions to speak their mind, only their minds are generally vacuous and only capable of twit-sized outbursts, so when they have to actually, you know, speak intelligently to any topic, they fail spectacularly. But somewhere there will be hundreds if not thousands of other morlocks hanging on their every word, eager to "like" and "subscribe" to their deleterious ******** as it eats away at the underpinnings of society like crashing waves took down that house in the news.
It is funny to laugh at, but anything but laughable considering it does real harm to the fabric of our society as people believe this **** and make decisions and do things that affect other people based on it. It is really terrifying in its own way.
