people of ukraine. how does it effect us here in many ways? first and foremost gasoline. gas prices are through the roof. yesterday the president made the announcement no longer will we buy oil from russia. can you see the numbers there. a year ago $2.08. today the folks of nebraska will pay around $4.25. if not more. for gasoline. but the president cut off the supply, the imports from russia. however, we re not going to be drilling here. now he is looking at venezuela, is he looking at iran. and other countries. and trying to get oil from them. but isn t this his policy, his green policy costing all of us, the folks of nebraska, people around america more money because he won t drill here? yeah, absolutely. and, in fact, it his his policy that encouraged putin to invade in the first place by making us dependent on foreign oil again. if we were energy independent that would give putin more pause about invading.
