4. Europe doesn't have oil fields and purchase contracts and

(for the most part) global oil companies and energy funds playing the oil futures markets on long and short positions.

Europe doesn't have gigantic refinery capacity, pipelines, or nearly as much consumption as the U.S., and it is difficult to get gas distributed in Europe for consumption, AND it is taxed differently.

Dear MSM. Do your fucking homework you bunch of brainless twits.

We don't have one valid good reason to raise the price of gas at the moment. The production companies just are because they can and collusion and massive illegally acquired windfall profits aren't illegal under this administration.

Dear MSM. Do your homework.
