Sunday

It's already mid-April. Gas is over $4; the Iran fiasco is still in full-bloom; pumping more oil is not a solution when transportation is the bottleneck...
This whole thing is going back toward normal is an imaginary "two weeks".
It doesn't take the position of energy secretary to figure this out.
BTW: this guy obviously didn't talk to Bessent who, just days ago, talked about gas starting with a 3, very soon.
Of course, Bessent may be blowing smoke because $3.999 per gallon begins with a 3.
