It's just no longer quite so poised like some kind of sword of Damocles above the Ogalalla Aquifer. Also, Big Oil is sitting on more than 9,000 permits they haven't used, while sending Steve Doocy in to ask Jen Psaki why the Biden administration isn't opening more wilderness land to oil companies.

Gas prices are high because the oil companies are pinching supply while the U.S. is pumping oil at record levels. We wait a few weeks or a couple of months, cut back on consumption, and the oil companies will be back sitting on a glut like they were when the world shut down due to Covid.

Patience folks.
