Biden admin halts new oil & gas drilling leases

One would think with Biden’s very low approval rating, 41% approval today, only 29% of all Americans thinking this country is on the right track, headed in the right direction, the GOP having a 46-43 lead in the generic congressional ballot, that there would be indications galore of a red wave. But so far, there’s not. There are other categories I keep track of, but these three will do.

Yes, on retirements, 30 democrats and 13 republicans so far.

The average loss in the midterms for the party in power is 26 house seats 3 senate seats. I think if the election were held today, the Democrats would limit their losses in the house between 5-10 seats and perhaps pick up a senate seat or two. With Biden’s and the Democrats numbers, favorable, approval etc. they should be looking at a loss of 30-45 house seats or more going by historical averages.


One factor everyone forgets about is the Republicans gained, picked up 13 seats house seats in 2020 while losing the presidency by 7 plus million votes. First time that happened since 1884 when a candidate won the popular vote via the presidency and lost house seats. Glover Cleveland was that candidate in 1884, he won the popular vote by a mere 58,000 vote and lost 8 house seats. Biden won by 7 plus million and lost 13 house seats. He had no, zero, none coat tails.


My point is those 13 house seats won in 2020 are 13 less the Republicans will pick up this year. Also, with no coat tails, which a president wins large usually has brings in 20 or more representatives from his party which most lose in the next midterm. These 2 factors need to be taken into consideration. Then there is another factor, the Trump factor. Independents still don’t like him; they may be voicing their hesitancy in voting for candidates Trump’s endorsed and is backing. Trump was the cause for the GOP losing the two Georgia senate seats in Jan 2021 runoffs. Lots of time left until Nov. A lot can and will happen between now and then. But as of today, I’d say the Democrats are in good shape. That can change in a heartbeat. With today’s numbers, I expect minimum loses.

 

Your cite is about refining and piplines and everything else and about tax deductions or credits as other business get with such equipment cost and depreciations.

Please explain your position here, do you argue we should not increase our domestic production or we should increase our domestic production? Which is it?

 

Sure... your topic is crap, as my link points out...

 

LMAO !!!!

Can't deny all that. On the humerus side, we are just touching the surface of all variables in place, those pollsters sure have their work cut out for them. I am curious if they are metering the Trump factor better.

Coming from the software development world, and just starting to educate myself with AI, I will be intrigued on how they predict. Note, behavioral prediction software has been around for a while, and campaigns do give these tools attention.

 

I showed you per the graph up to 2020 from EIA.

We produce as much oil as we consumed.

You figure it out. Why do we export?

 

And Zelensky is the same guy that Trump tried to blackmail into opening a fake investigation into Biden.

Like so many times in his life, Trump underestimated who he was dealing with.

 

The topic about what?
You think it's Biden's fault, when a trump appointed judge ordered the halt, according to a post.

So, why not respond to actual posts and clarify the position?

Can you reply to the trump judge actually being the reason? If it's true or not?

 

So new leases are not halted? You better contact the Biden administration and let them know. They seem to think they are but glad you know better.

 

Yes, by a trump appointed judge, according to other posts.
Why do you deny?
Why can't you address that?

The delays follow a ruling by U.S. District Judge James Cain of the Western District of Louisiana, who blocked federal agencies from using an estimate known as the “social cost of carbon” to assess pollution from carbon emissions by energy production and other industrial sources. The decision blocked the Biden administration from using a higher estimate for the damage that each additional ton of greenhouse gas pollution causes society.

Maybe you should contact your own state reps.
Since your own state trump appointee is responsible.

Your state, La, is at fault for your complaint.
Your complaint is a result of the guy you support for president.

RECAP:

A trump appointed JUDGE. From Louisiana. Your STATE. Halted oil leases.

And you blame Biden. LOL.
And your from La?

 

I sense your bitterness.

 

Oh it's worse than that. Most of these oil price increases are being driven not by the Russian military action in Ukraine but rather from inflation - which happens to be the result of another Democrat policy.

In fact probably Democrats are almost welcoming this incident in the Ukraine because it is something they will be able to blame the oil price increases on, helping to draw attention away from inflation.

 

No, the 9 words in your thread title are accurate, but your "reasoning" provided behind the decision are grossly lacking.

It's like me saying Russians are currently visiting Ukraine at a record pace this week. Technically true, but a lot of background missing...

 

It was going to be real investigation. Even Zelensky says that didn’t happen.

So how did that work out for you? Oh he was accused of bribery then was acquitted on those charges? Oh so he was innocent? Yeah he was. Trump is a ******, but you don’t have to spout conspiracy theories when there are real things that did happen.

 

Different grades and products and we import and process foreign oil here in our huge refining capacity and then export the products.

Please explain your position here, do you argue we should not increase our domestic production or we should increase our domestic production? Which is it?

 

Personally, I think we should increase production at all existing locations as much as possible, while refusing to start drilling on more federal lands...

Oh yeah, do this too

I think I've explained it already.
Stop exporting our oil and we produce as much as we consume.

If our demand increases, increase our production
But as the chart also shows, our consumption has been flat for quite a while now.

 

And leave the price where it is? I think you generalize what the graph shows, we export FINISHED PRODUCTS not so much raw oil.

 

America's oil companies ALREADY have 10 million+ acres of untapped federal oil leases that they are free to drill on.

The OP is

 

The Neville Chamberlain Reek Gambit?

 

I sense the Supreme MAGAT's continued unemployment.

 

good god you do realize they drill where they find oil right. This isn't your kitchen sink we're talking about here. Bottom line importing oil leads to more carbon in a ton of different ways and it's financing a tyrant. congrats was that your goal?

 

Trump would’ve surrendered and then get on his knee crying for mercy.

 

Good God, you do realize that they don't assign federal land for oil leases at random? Use 'em or lose 'em.

 

If you don't understand, then just say you don't understand. Geez, this is embarrassing.
