Biden admin halts new oil & gas drilling leases

There should never, ever, be even one drop of American oil exported anywhere, for any reason. If we have a surplus, save it. Adjust production so that it doesn't outstrip demand. Not a drop should leave this country. Not one drop. I would rather we buy our oil from other countries than send our own reserves to other countries just to make some shareholders of private companies some extra money.

 

Yes overlook the fact that these leases were sold during the Trump administration, Biden on week 1 cancelled them, was sued and the court made him give the leases. Typical dem fodder lol. Now your bragging about the leases sold under Trump. lol

 

Wrong, they were sold under the Trump administration, Biden cancelled week one and was sued and lost. It's hilarious dems bragging about oil leases that were sold under Trump. You can't make this up. lol.

 

The fastest way to take Russia down is to bring down fossil fuel prices by drilling and drilling. Biden has no desire to take Russia down as clearly proven by his actions.

 

Who is “you people”? I disliked trump but he was blamed for things that were beyond his control just as all presidents are. The difference is that people that voted for Biden agree he should do things differently while trumpers believed he wasn’t responsible for anything negative, ever. If you are saying you are no better than whoever the “you people” are then I will agree.

So you believe inflation wouldn’t exist if health and safety rules were relaxed? That is absurd with no basis in reality.

Yes, allowing private companies that are beholden only to shareholder profits to police themselves is scary.

 

Around 4% of US auto sales were EVs last year. And at the rate the US is handling the energy sector in general we're just as like as not to see a nearly approaching crash in EV market shares if our electrical grid cannot keep pace with increased demand. Furthermore the sustainability of EVs hinges on other factors as well namely the scarcity of metals used in battery production and more importantly where those metals come from (ya China wins this one too, gj enviro-nutjobs).

You can expect ICE to dominate EV for decades and decades to come. And, if radical progressives continue to wield power, you can expect gas to get more and more expensive.

 

Biden's a Putin stooge. Ukraine wasted millions trying to bribe the Biden's.

OIL PRICES BREAK $100 AMID RUSSIAN INVASION: “Oil prices broke above $100 a barrel for the first time since 2014, stock markets slumped globally and the rouble hit a record low on Thursday after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an invasion of Ukraine.”

60% of the Russian Economy is oil exports. Biden has been a massive boon to Putin. Oil up 170% since the election. Biden fills Putin's pockets.

California’s High Gas Prices What The Left Have Wanted

● NBC, the Washington Post, and the New York Times in lockstep call for higher gas taxes.

● 2008 L.A. Times headline: “The joy of $8 gas.”

“Under my plan, energy costs will necessarily skyrocket…”

Biden's Obama administration retreads are following the same playbook as the original Obama administration: “We’re going to keep at it to ensure the American people are paying their fair share for gas,” is the perfect Kinsley Gaffe for an Obama administration retread like Biden: As Steven Chu, Obama’s then-incoming energy secretary, told the Wall Street Journal in the fall of 2008: “Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.”

So is it fair to ask if Biden is on the payroll of Putin?

Biden is Putin Stooge. Without Biden and various parts of the Left fighting to STOP, limit, or interfere with out oil production, our oil drillers could cut the price of oil by 2/3rds emptying Putin's pockets.

​

And now the brave Ukrainians are fighting for their lives and their homeland as Biden and other European Oligarchs exempt Russian energy production from sanctions.

 

Your first paragraph is a false premise. I found fault with Trump several times and I said so at the time.

Your second paragraph is a straw man not even worth wasting time on.

And your third one is just authoritarianism cheerleading for government regulation.

 

I'm hear Biden wants to buy Iranian oil now.

 

Then you might not be a trumper, congratulations

I asked if you believe inflation would have been significantly less had trump remained president and you responded with some spiel about regulation. If you believe my response was a strawman then you either dodged the question or responded with a strawman yourself.

Unfortunately businesses will rarely do what is right — as someone that manages two small businesses I see what our staff and competitors would do and allow if not for these regulations you despise so much. I can also open a history book and see what companies have done throughout history.

Regulatory events are rarely invented on a whim but implement due to a proven need.

 

Especially since US oil companies take it from public lands that we the people own. And they ship it out of country for profit.
Not only do they get to take USA people's oil and sell for profit, they get subsidized by us TAXPAYERs also for their privilege of selling our oil.

 

Increases the global supply and global price and we increase our domestic supplies at the same time, they are not mutually exclusive. Yes let the markets work and get the federal government out of the way.

 

Get the fed gov't out of the way?
Are the oil companies not drilling mostly on federal lands? And doesn't the federal govt subsidize the oil companies? Don't us taxpayers own the federal land and us taxpayers subsidize those oil companies.

And we export more oil than we import. Why?
Of course you fail to address that and only what the gov't subsidized oil companies to take more of our US taxpayers oil from us and sell it overseas for more profit.


In 2020, we produced almost the same amount of oil that we consumed.
So why do we import at all?
We could be energy independent already.

 

Some facts... this URL will not be clicked, much less read, by the zombs....

https://www.yahoo.com/news/more-us-...-ukraine-or-europe-experts-say-200717731.html

It's always interesting to read somebody who knows what they are talking about, vs..... this dribble...

 

at this rate the invasion might actually be profitable over time for putin/russia

 

Why can't you lefties ever respond to the topic of the thread? Instead you have to find something else and run with it, backing each other up, all the while dodging the actual topic.

Today, right now, here, the Biden admin has halted all new oil and gas leases at a time of high inflation, higher gas prices, and now the Russia/Ukraine war which will raise gas prices even more.

Can you reply to this topic?

 

you righties just don't get it, Trump reduced supply of cheap foreign oil overseas, that is why we are paying more today

demand was down during covid and Trump thought low prices hurt US oil companies, rather than let the market work it out, and we get cheap gas for a while, Trump threatened them to reduce supply, now that demand is back up, we don't have the supply, so now oil will cost more until supply catches up

supply and demand folks, US oil will charge as much as they can based on the global price of oil

 

And the actual story reads:

"The Biden administration is delaying decisions on new oil and gas leases and permits after a Louisiana federal judge blocked officials from using higher cost estimates of climate change. The leasing pause is an unintended result of the Feb. 11 decision by U.S. District Judge James Cain who sided with a group GOP-led states".

They are delaying because a federal judge told them to.

Little bit of honesty never hurts.

And now for the real kicker:

"Biden has approved more drilling permits on public lands per month than the Trump administration did during Donald Trump’s first three years in office."

There are talking points, and then there are actual facts, and the facts are the exact opposite of what the pseudo-conservative crowd and their mouthpieces are trying to sell.

 

Yes.

ROFL no not even close. About 9%.

Q: How much of America’s oil-and-gas production happens on federal lands?
A: Most U.S. oil-and-gas drilling now takes place on state or private land, so the freeze only directly affects a fraction of total production. Output from onshore federal land comes to roughly 9% of the U.S. total.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/whats-...s place,comes to roughly 9% of the U.S. total.

No.

See above.

Who is "we".

See above.

What is Biden doing to ensure that and that our oil and gs industry remains vibrant and productiveand the best in the world?

 

Biden is compromised and it is right in front of our eyes for everyone to see.

Putin would be hurt the most if Biden were to stop the US dependence on foreign oil, especially from Russia.

 

Right. So, even if there was a 'freeze' of new permits, it would only impact a small percentage. However, there is no freeze

This is a start: "Biden has approved more drilling permits on public lands per month than the Trump administration did during Donald Trump’s first three years in office."

 

That's right. American energy producers could drive oil prices down by 2/3rds, draining Putin's pockets, and the pockets of his fellow Oligarchs that love their money more than they fear Putin.

U-CRANIAL INVERSION
“Buyer’s remorse” isn’t a strong enough term to capture the obvious regret more and more Americans are feeling right now about our super addled president. What’s the over-under line that Biden’s speechwriters are furious reworking next week’s State of the Union address to focus on the New-Old World Order? What’s the over-under line that Biden’s special guest in the gallery will be Justin Trudeau, as his new BFF for showing how to handle COVID protesters? In any case, the Biden Administration’s cranial-rectal inversion is nearly complete. Call it a U-cranial inversion perhaps.

​

Diaper Boy's big play was sharing classified intelligence with China, which compromises sources and methods, to convince them that Russia was really going to invade, thinking that with such knowledge that they band with the West against Russia, when China already knew that, and after each session with the Biden Clowns they briefed the Russians on the intel that Diaper Boy shared with them!

 

Yes there is a freeze on new permits. Read the article.

And as to your second bolded part that you seem so proud of, read post #63. You chose to ignore the truth so you could continue to spread this lie.

 

I hope it hurts Russia very very badly. We need to be supply the brave Ukrainians with everything they need to make their invasion hell on earth for the Russians.
