What form is this profiteering taking? Are you accusing oil companies of profiteering? Or other company's that are increasing prices or what?
Are you really discounting price increases due to the war in Ukraine? Do you not know what gas prices are in the rest of the world? They've at least tripled here in Europe. That isn't down to QE. And tripling gas prices very definitely leads to higher inflation.
I haven't read through much of the tangle of "Greens agree to peg Gas prices to Renewable prices" (my recollection) in the UK or elsewhere.
Some Russian was streaming a burning stove 24/7, bragging that it cost like $5 / mo.
Can a $500 solar installation boil water 24/7 for the same $5/mo? I feel that the energy density of Petroleum (and Nuclear) products is just so ludicrous that Wind and Solar can't compete.
Sure, instability will lead to higher gas prices. So did Joe Biden's (Administration's) unilateral de-permitting of the Keystone XL pipe between Canada and USA, on Day 1 of his time in office.

What's your point???

What's your point? Can you boil water 24/7 for $5 a month? No because you don't live in a gas rich state whose economy depended on gas exports, but has now been cut off from international markets.
>I feel that the energy density of Petroleum (and Nuclear) products is just so ludicrous that Wind and Solar can't compete.
Why is energy density a relevant metric? How do you even want to measure energy density? A wind farm can be used for other things. A nuclear reactor not so much. And yes my uranium handwarmer is nice and compact, but the are reasons why no one else uses one.
