Correct, the last POTUS that did something to meaningfully impact gas/oil prices was Bush II when he invaded Iraq, and Obama a little bit when he decreased Iranian oil sanctions.

For better or worse, we don't live in anything resembling a command economy.

There is a regulatory aspect as well. The current regulatory environment is not encouraging an increase in refinery capacity, and that seems to be our current bottleneck.

This is not a value judgment as to whether this is right or wrong.

Should Joe Biden get some streamers and make a poster to show his support for oil refineries? He isn’t in charge of spending; that’s Congress. Maybe he should issue an executive order forcing oil refining capacity back online? Then you’d bitch about government overreach.

i pointed that out below and got downvoted.
