Radiance, I don't know about recession, but it wouldn't surprise me. It kind of centers on inflation. As prices keep on rising, the economy will suffer. We still have the best employment numbers that we've had in years, as well as other positive signs. There is just so much that a President can do about the price of oil. We have increased production, freed up our reserve supply, talked to OPEC producers, and the Fed has raised interest rates to fight inflation. What else can President Biden do?
Encourage oil production and refinery construction/upgrades.....remove the restrictions.
It costs tens of millions to do this - why would anyone expect oil companies to make an investment like that when the President pledged/promised to get rid of oil and "go electric"?
The best way is for American to become independent of foreign oil by using the HUGE capabilities we have. Then begin research into other options in a careful, controlled manner - instead of rushing crazily into wind/solar and their well-documented inadequacies and failures.
