I almost remember something that happened in March 2020 that caused demand to plummet, something about 2 weeks to flatten the curve that turned into 2 years. I find it entertaining that Mr. Alioto discusses supply and demand yet doesn't take into account that there was no demand? I would love to know who the two dozen plaintiffs and what other lawsuits they've been a part of over the years.....

Sadly the blame game continues. The problem started as soon as we had a new occupant in the WH. He turned us from energy independent to dependent upon others. And the US exit from energy exports put other nations at risk. He supported Russia's economic strangle hold on Germany and other nations. He helped make Russia economically strong and militarily bold.
What we are seeing in just over a year is tragic. High inflation, open borders, the Afghanistan fiasco, the weak and delayed Ukrainian response, skyrocketing drug deaths, and much more. When will that story be covered in the Danville San Ramon newspaper? Just my opinion...

Just another of the multi-pronged efforts by Leftists to try and sully Trump's name prior to the upcoming elections in November. You name a national or international problem, and the Secular Progressives will try to find a way to link Trump to it. I just imagine if they tried hard enough, they could find a Trump nexus for your toilet being stopped up! Soon they're going to start plugging the "November Variant" of the Corona Virus.

I always thought that lawsuits are a matter of public record. If so, then why won't the author of the above article identify who the plaintiffs are? Is it because the plaintiffs are all green energy promoters and we don't need to know that?
