    Karma is a bitch. The entire Biden presidency has been nothing but Karma. Everything Biden warned America about with Trump is actually coming true under Biden.

    If Brandon & Co. had a brain cell amongst them they would have seen this coming when they decided to crawl back into bed with the "Death to America!" crowd in Tehran.

    As long as those imbeciles keep sucking up to the ayatollahs they're going to get little to no support and cooperation out of the Sunni Arab states in the region.

    And which fuel source wound that be? Seriously what? Solar? Windmills? What? Nuclear handles a big chunk of infrastructure, but can’t do dick for travel. Electric Jets? EVs are not even in the ball park of replacing gasoline yet. Still basically a luxury vehicle unless it’s a subcompact and that isn’t feasible for anyone with a family. It could be another decade to get EV SUVs down to a reasonable level where it’s mass market, but who knows. With inflation that might not even be possible.

    I’m game. What’s your plan?
    I’d love an electric car but I’ve never seen a charging station in my life

    Arabs agreed to ramp up production and oil price dropped 12.5% immediately, so maybe the OP celebration was premature.

    Oil Tumbles as U.A.E, Iraq Signal Ability to Raise Output
    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/oil-pushes-higher-u-escalates-233046980.html
    (Bloomberg) -- Crude futures sank after U.A.E. and Iraq signalled OPEC may have greater willingness to raise output and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy reiterated that he’s prepared to make certain compromises with Russia to end the war.

    Yeah now that is better. Can't blame for tweaking the US for a little more negotiating strength.

    I guess business is business and everyone wants to maximize profits .

    Funny they agreed as soon as Venezuela was mentioned as an alternative.

    Yeah well you can either sell it now for record profit or leave it in the ground and sell it later at a lower price. That's why I was concerned because if they didn't want to cash in at this price something would have been very wrong.

    This is a good thing. And I was not celebrating anything. Maybe you can point out where I seemed happy about the articles I posted.

    Good. I'm glad if you are not one of those who celebrate every piece of bad news for US.

    The Arabs chose wisely taking US over Putin, and I do think the VZ news expeditated their decision (in the end they would have gone with US anyway).

    Please don't pretend you didn't write the post in order to highlight what you thought was Biden's loss of stature.

    I obviously was pointing out one of his many flaws. However I not once posted about it in happiness. I would rather see American succeed. Do I think he’s the man to do that? Not at all. These countries still decided to speak with Russia before Biden. It’s no success on Biden’s behalf

    Fine but how much sense does it make to destroy oil while things are in process. Democrats have to start admitting that alternative energy isn't ready for prime time.

    Where did I say "destroy oil"? Replace it as quickly AS POSSIBLE. Republicans - stop dragging your feet. That doesn't mean tomorrow - but the tech
    is there, it just needs a 1960's Moon Shot push to put it in place.

    What's the worst that can happen? We end up with more than enough oil for manufacturing plastics, we cut down on pollution and we get the
    yoke of Saudi oil of our backs - a yoke that was there when Trump was in office as well ...

    You didn't, I did. No point in replacing what I said and meant.

    It needs more than that. It needs technology that doesn't exist. Well it does exist. It is nuclear energy and we need to embrace it once again until something better arises.

    The worst that can happen is energy deficiency. Stopping proven energy sources before the alternatives are ready fails the common sense test. It is like quitting a job before you have another one. I think you misunderstand conservatives. Nobody is against renewable energy. We are against government handling it because we get situations like we have now.

    Federal government is working to destroy the oil industry. If you don't see it, you aren't looking. Government abandoned nuclear power. Government pushes a destination that is uncertain because the technology is not ready. Let the move to renewables happen naturally when it should. Stop micro managing things that don't belong in government in the first place. Just as government hurt the economy with covid lockdowns it is hurting it again with the war on oil. Knock it off. The energy sector can handle things just fine.

    Just as I thought. You have no point or are too embarrassed to try to make it.
