The return of affordable gas

 Daily Signal:

Gas prices often increase in the summer as more motorists hit the road, but this year’s pump prices have dropped to match the summer of 2021, the last time seasonal gas prices were this low.

The national average is down about 3 cents per gallon from last week, returning to the price from a month ago, $3.16. One year ago, gas prices were at $3.574. Gas prices were also at a four-year low on Independence Day.

The White House is attributing the phenomenon to President Donald Trump’s energy agenda, which Energy Secretary Chris Wright told The Daily Signal can be summarized as making it “easier to build energy-production capacity and stop subsidizing stuff that’s not been helpful.”

“Prices at the pump keep dropping, thanks to President Trump unleashing American energy,” White House assistant press secretary Taylor Rogers told The Daily Signal. “President Trump ended Joe Biden’s reckless war on American energy, and he’s making life more affordable for families as a result.”
...

The price of gas in this part of Texas is currently around $2.50 a gallon.  Even at that price, it cost nearly $50 to fill up my F-150.  California is one of the worst places to buy gas these days.  I think liberal politicans in that state are mainly responsible for the high costs.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
