He doesn’t and has never wanted to alleviate any price increase. The purpose of this trip is to claim he’s doing all he can while not breaking his promise to the ESG ideologues. He wants prices as high as possible so we give up entirely on the combustible engine and beg for mercy from the electric industry.
And he’s doing this because he thinks we’re stupid.
I have no idea why you keep repeating this nonsense on multiple threads, but it's so easily debunked I can only assume you're a bot. The highest bbl/day output recorded in the US (and we have records back to the 1860s) was 12,966,000 bbl/day in November 2019. In 1970 we were pumping 9,637,000 bbl/day. The last month of data available on the EIA website is April 2022 == we pumped 11,628,000 bbl/day that month, 120% of what you claim was peak oil. Go away.
This is true for all fossil fuels, geothermal etc etc. however, at $100 prr barrel all oil currently known can be produced affordably. Some oil in Deepwater or in tar sands that wasn’t affordable yesterday is now making money. Peak oil is meaningless unless you state the price. If we removed politics from the equation the boys would be drilling and fracking their behinds off and making the old daily record look puny
Absolutely. It's so the administration and the media can say they're "doing all they can" while actually doing nothing because this is what they want.
They think $10+/gallon gasoline will cause more people to either buy EV's or stop driving altogether, thereby saving the planet and ushering in their fabled green utopia.
Or they don't believe any of that and want to do it just to punish us for existing and return us to serfdom.
We should also burn all the studies politicians and "experts" produce on everything imaginable. That should fuel the electric grid and heat all the houses for years to come. Maybe we could even charge a few of the Teslas we are not supposed to charge because it may take down the grid. At least until we can actually build the mythical green energy they tell us we are going to have with this grate deset.
That’s the crux, evil Harry. The prols disrupted the plan & that sent shock waves & is probably the impetus for the scamdemic & accelerated crises & chaos since
To anonymouse: it's actually worse. 'They' don't want us driving at all. I would have nothing against driving an electric car if 1. they performed as well as an ICE vehicle in a northern Canadian winter, 2. 'charging' it up were as easy as 'filing' it up, 3, they truly were 'greener' than a gas powered vehicle and last but most certainly not least, 4. if our electrical grid (in any country on the planet) was capable of supporting mass use of electric cars.
That last point is the clincher. California has about 5% of it's vehicles electrified. They experience blackouts/brownouts even at just that level.
I can't speak for other nations but I suspect many Americans would gladly give up their personal transit and be content to live in large cities and rely on public transit IF we could do away with various legal changes since, oh say 1940. 😎
he goes and stands where he is told. Repeat the line. He thinks very little.
Communism is about humiliation. This is the same theater that Saint Barry used to perform, beginning with his World Apology Tour.
The Globo-communists regularly engage in humiliation rituals designed to disenfranchise, demoralize, atomize, and subvert the heritage populations in order to bring them to heel.
The 'begging for energy while sitting atop piles of our own energy' is not about energy; it is about making you feel shame, disempowered, and humiliated.
This is the same thing they have been doing about Heritage American labor/workers, vis a vis open borders and various other programs that use coercion and linguistic abuses to trap you in a false premise that furthers their agenda, e.g. you are either for 'legal' immigration or you are racist, you are for 'accepting refugees' or you are xenophobic, you are for "clean/green energy" or you hate the environment.
Crops have been "rotting in the fields" and the threat of $5 heads of lettuce has been hanging over us in the same way climate change has for decades. The solution somehow never has to do with investing in the heritage peoples, but rather in something global, distant, financial, and oppressive. And in all of that, any opposition to the solution that just happen to already be in the works is of course bad, even unAmerican because the programming, the theater of anti-nationalist, anti-protectionist, ant-heritage has been going on for decades.
To even ask "what is good for the heritage population of citizens" is so forbidden that Crimethink prevents most good citizens from even conjuring such hate.
While this is about "green energy", the destruction of our energy market and energy self-sufficiency, this particular act of theater is to rub our face in the fact that we have ample energy underfoot but are beholden to people who hate us for our most basic needs. Welcome, Comrade!
Most people are not truly stupid. Lack of real education on the issues is often a factor, but the real sin is to refusing to be intellectually honest and think (or investigate) the issue through. One of many famous Einstein quotes is (approximately): "Science is finding the answer that is there, not the answer that we want to be there."
Is there a legitimate reason not to produce more petrochemicals from USA’s own resources, while at the same time, importing more (assuming it’s available for import)?
If there is, I can’t see it. I’ll bet I’m not alone.
The administration is paddling into very dangerous waters. The US people must have the same & other questions. Answers must be forthcoming. Right now.
Drawing down the strategic petroleum reserve is also reckless. There isn’t a war in the Gulf, for example. Reducing that reserve ahead of what could be long drawn out shortages from deliberately bad policy is actually frightening. Does Biden intend to run the tanks dry & seeing rationing introduced?
Indeed. And elsewhere in the formerly democratic world, the same is happening almost everywhere. Controlled demolition. The public cannot be expected to think this could possibly be true. But it is true.
It is true, but there are hints the proles (us) are waking up. The little men behind the curtain cannot stand forever without the tacit support of the rest of us.
Robert Jeffress's message yesterday talked about the controlled demolition of the Dallas First Baptist Church, prior to their rebuilding. Happens in three stages: the explosion of the charges; then waiting, longer than you expect; then the walls start tumbling down, slowly at first and then faster, ending with a cloud of dust.
Not to mention drawing down the reserve while repeatedly poking the Russian bear with increasing bellicosity is not exactly what I would categorize as effective grand strategy.
Putin has warned that if western-supplied missiles land on Russian soil there will be a general war. Brandon's puppeteers have just supplied Zelensky with medium-range missiles, and he has indicated that they will be used in Crimea.
They are increasing the possibility of a large war while at the same time diminishing their ability to fight it.
Whether this will ascend to the pantheon of instances of human stupidity remains to be seen, but the rate of ascent is rising.
A "democracy" that outlaws opposition parties and nationalizes the media, while the USG sends billions down the black hole and a parade of leftist luminaries pay their respects to the dictator.
All while the people inhabiting the contested areas have their houses, farms, property and livelihoods destroyed.
Same old shit, different millennium.
"Robbers of the world, having by their universal plunder exhausted the land, they rifle the deep. If the enemy be rich, they are rapacious; if he be poor, they lust for dominion; neither the east nor the west has been able to satisfy them. Alone among men they covet with equal eagerness poverty and riches. To robbery, slaughter, plunder, they give the lying name of empire; they make a solitude and call it peace."
Guess that's down to how we're going to define legitimate I guess?
I'm pretty sure Biden could get a better deal out of Venezuela, no shortage of oil there, but ooops, they've been designated Evil (tm) by several administrations, for human rights violations, corruption, war, financing no end of shenanigans - both alleged, imagined and real.
You should take a trip down to Lake Maracaibo and bask in the pristine, healthful, restoring waters. I hear there is nothing like a refreshing dip to restore one's glow, albeit with a slightly green tint.
So a really good win/win solution would be a deal with Venezuela where their idiot-in-charge gets to step down gracefully and live out his life in a moderately luxurious hacienda (yeah, neither just nor fair but international politics never is - see Bismarck's remark about the making of sausages), and US oil companies manage and oversee the work, using local labour as a way to spread some initial wealth around.
Not only could that be set up to drill in the right, not-destroying-the-water-table-and-ecosystem way, it could also be geared with an eye to education (engineering training college sort of thing - lots of skills in oil drilling/refinement has use in other areas) and it could be used instead of sanctions/foreign aid to cement the new Venezuela as a staunch US ally.
But on the other hand, few things bump profit as artificial scarcity of a resource the customer cannot substitute, hence zero interest from both the political and corporate heads on the hydra.
I would say that Brandon (AKA pedo pete) is actively trying to destroy the US dollar. Everything he has been ordered to do has resulted in US self harm.
He killed the pipeline, crippled production and gave Americas fuel reserves away and then somehow goes begging?
The sanctions against Russia have killed the petrodollar, so pedo petes advisers must have either been criminally inept, or it was entirely by design.
I believe he is trying to run the tanks dry. Yes, it's extremely frightening. This is all a plan. We need to figure out how to keep the plan from getting to fruition.
Saudi… meanwhile, is buying Russian oil at a discount, and selling their own at full price. Saudi has no need to increase production and would be stupid to do so. They are not stupid.
Of course the US could buy oil at a discount from Russia, but… or even use it’s own oil, but…
The only Countries in the World (Sri Lanka excepted) with a looming energy crisis and inflating motor fuel prices are the USA & its NATO vassals. Take that Putin!
And spend 3 hours waiting in line so I can charge my EV?! That is, when they allow me too because the power grid can’t keep up due to the weather! “Sorry boss, can’t come in today, cuz I couldn’t charge my EV, cuz you know, power grid….”
And the older your EV, progressively the batteries will hold less charge and be closer to replacement, that will have a significant effect on second hand/trade-in value. And most people rely on a good trade-in to part finance their next car.
excellent point. A used EV with a dead battery is not even a way for someone of lower income to have a car. Worse, they will litter the landscape as hulks leaking toxins into Mother Nature
To me, this just looks like the global carbon tax the elites have failed to get for the last 20 years. And if you really wanted to re-boot Western mass consumer capitalism, a minor skirmish that impacts the straight of Hormuz would do nicely. Has anyone modeled what a minor conflict with Iran will do to oil and gas prices? Even in Germany, they could turn on Nordstream 2 in a week. So this energy 'crisis' is all based on conscious choices. I wonder how far those choices will go?
Comrade Brandon promises to "end fossil fuels" before his coronation and genuflects before his crony watermelons, opens the first attack via executive order on his first day, and then dispatches his pet private aviation climate clowns Kerry and Granholm to do all they can to restrict supply and raise prices.
And now the big show in the ME, kissing the ring of the dictator of among the most repressive regimes on the planet - he really should have gone during pride month and brought Levine - when, shockingly, many of the serfs balk at euro-style gas prices.
Once again, we see government "fighting" and "working" to solve a problem they created.
Will people never learn?
"Most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place."
In my former home city, we had shootings on those gas lines during Sandy. It's how I learned the necessity of stockpiling fuel. (and buying stabilizers)
a petroleum product you layer over a tank of gas to keep the gas stable or keep it from evaporating (that's a rough description, I didn't spend very long on it!)
He needs to reopen the refinery in the Virgin Island. Also get rid of the Jones Act that won’t allow non US tankers ship oil from US port to US port. We need to dump the green new deal but not give up protecting the environment.
I have no idea why you keep repeating this nonsense on multiple threads, but it's so easily debunked I can only assume you're a bot.

Everything is Kabuki Theater now. Absolutely everything. We are living in the most serious of times thanks to the most unserious of people ruling over the globe. This energy problem could all be fixed in short order if Biden and the Democrats and other leading leftists would just get out of the way and let the market work. Instead, winter is coming.....for real...piling all this on top of everything they broke with COVID and over a decade of economic and monetary malfeasance. It's going to be brutal....especially in Europe I think.
He doesn’t and has never wanted to alleviate any price increase. The purpose of this trip is to claim he’s doing all he can while not breaking his promise to the ESG ideologues.

Stupidity isn't even necessary. If people see through the lie but still comply that's as good or better than if they were totally fooled.
Gosh I hate wearing this mask and getting this jab but
I'm gonna stack-shame you until you repent and retract that statement.
We KNOW masks work.
Wear it Haaaaarder!
What? I'm wearing it. I just make sure to tell everyone I hate what I'm doing so I stay ego-syntonic.
I'm obeying, I'm obeying.
Obey Haaaaarder!...;]
Wait, is that a boner?
Stack shame, good one.
“Stack shame”. I like it!
Amen

Dude - we did NOT export all unconventional product to China. That is absolute BS.

Volunteering to be a stakeholder.
Oh Evil one, I love the way you think!
It's worth a try.
Like!!
Definitely option 2. They have to work hard to constantly battle the truth; they know exactly what they're doing.
I have to wonder if all this is punishment for voting for Brexit and Trump.
I mean, how f*ing dare we.

In reality, most ARE stupid, until they're directly affected; some, not even then!
Most people are not truly stupid. Lack of real education on the issues is often a factor, but the real sin is to refusing to be intellectually honest and think (or investigate) the issue through. One of many famous Einstein quotes is (approximately): "Science is finding the answer that is there, not the answer that we want to be there."
I beg to disagree. People are for the most part, quite stupid, regardless of their education level.
It's the NOT WANTING TO THINK part that makes one stupid in my books! People are honestly wasting their lives before our very eyes...
This is what I meant by “stupid” - shorthand for “willfully ignorant”, etc.
and because he is (and always has been) bought.
You’re right. If we believe differently we are very naive
Exactly
He's doing this because he is stupid and has dementia and is a demon controlled by other higher demons.

the ironic/annoying part is that importing oil from Venezuela is much more polluting and connected to vast tracts of oil spills.
Please.

Among the greatest triumphs of leftist environmental stewardship, and how socialism will Save the Planet™.
makes me want to cry
how so?
They are the sloppiest uncaring of oil drillers on the planet. lots of spills and pollution and the oil itself is dirtier than what we pull in the US
AND we have very few refineries left open
So a really good win/win solution would be a deal with Venezuela where their idiot-in-charge gets to step down gracefully and live out his life in a moderately luxurious hacienda (yeah, neither just nor fair but international politics never is - see Bismarck's remark about the making of sausages), and US oil companies manage and oversee the work, using local labour as a way to spread some initial wealth around.
Not only could that be set up to drill in the right, not-destroying-the-water-table-and-ecosystem way, it could also be geared with an eye to education (engineering training college sort of thing - lots of skills in oil drilling/refinement has use in other areas) and it could be used instead of sanctions/foreign aid to cement the new Venezuela as a staunch US ally.

Thanks. Didn't know that.
I think you called all of this Dr. Yeadon.
This must be rhetorical?...;)
The US people have had no greater success eliciting honest answers than the UK people (or any other), I'm sad to report, Dr. Yeadon.
When it was just in my own mind, these worries didn't haunt so badly. Seeing you express them, makes it much more real and urgent.
I wonder how much of the visit was really about: propping up the dollar.
I would say that Brandon (AKA pedo pete) is actively trying to destroy the US dollar. Everything he has been ordered to do has resulted in US self harm.
He killed the pipeline, crippled production and gave Americas fuel reserves away and then somehow goes begging?
The sanctions against Russia have killed the petrodollar, so pedo petes advisers must have either been criminally inept, or it was entirely by design.
As promised by the teleprompter reader in chief.
I believe he is trying to run the tanks dry. Yes, it's extremely frightening. This is all a plan. We need to figure out how to keep the plan from getting to fruition.
I didn't say it is HIS plan. I said, "This is all a plan." I believe it is a plan. None of this is an accident.
aha
I don't think Biden has a plan. I think he does what he's told. someone has a plan but not that hollow corrupt racist child molester
Biden wants us to think that SA drilling oil and shipping it across the ocean is somehow 'more green' than drilling our own oil.
Yes, he does.
Saudi… meanwhile, is buying Russian oil at a discount, and selling their own at full price. Saudi has no need to increase production and would be stupid to do so. They are not stupid.
Of course the US could buy oil at a discount from Russia, but… or even use it’s own oil, but…
The only Countries in the World (Sri Lanka excepted) with a looming energy crisis and inflating motor fuel prices are the USA & its NATO vassals. Take that Putin!
Can’t even see the knee pads
Just wait till he takes those dentures out. There'll be a line around the block.
😂😂
In the Progosphere, Biden failure is a winning strategery.
In the Progosphere, ^oil$ = ^EV's sold.
I mean, can't everybody spend $60k+ for an EV that has a 200 mile range, and takes 8 hrs. to charge from a fossil electric plant?
And spend 3 hours waiting in line so I can charge my EV?! That is, when they allow me too because the power grid can’t keep up due to the weather! “Sorry boss, can’t come in today, cuz I couldn’t charge my EV, cuz you know, power grid….”
And only costs about $14 000 when you need a battery change.
Or the electric car (that you bought used bc you are not wealthy) is just a few years older and the battery is no longer made.
Then you have a nice piece of junk
And the older your EV, progressively the batteries will hold less charge and be closer to replacement, that will have a significant effect on second hand/trade-in value. And most people rely on a good trade-in to part finance their next car.
excellent point. A used EV with a dead battery is not even a way for someone of lower income to have a car. Worse, they will litter the landscape as hulks leaking toxins into Mother Nature
I don't think the battery is ever replaceable. In most, it takes up half the car.
Throw the car away, keep the battery?
ummm what for?
Seems counter intuitive to me : )
To me, this just looks like the global carbon tax the elites have failed to get for the last 20 years. And if you really wanted to re-boot Western mass consumer capitalism, a minor skirmish that impacts the straight of Hormuz would do nicely.

I’m sure another fist bump would do it.
How do you take your oil, one bump or two?
Loooong lines at the pump
In my former home city, we had shootings on those gas lines during Sandy. It's how I learned the necessity of stockpiling fuel. (and buying stabilizers)
Thank you, I just learned what a fuel stabilizer is!
Let me be lazy and tell me?
a petroleum product you layer over a tank of gas to keep the gas stable or keep it from evaporating (that's a rough description, I didn't spend very long on it!)
I remember them during the bicentennial.
I'm not sure they'll be anywhere to queue up this go around.
😹
perhaps we need to start a war in an oil rich country for a change
Just our luck. They gave us gas but Joe can’t operate the gas can...
Hilarious!
At least that appendage is sturdier than the one nature supplied him with, and undoubtedly more--uh--comely.
(Sorry, but I ain't had my taming tea yet.)
I saw the same thing, and it was not how I wanted to start my day.
me too. I thought I was mentally damaged, sicko, but yes.
Now I cannot unsee it
No, all of us damaged sickos saw the same thing 😂
He needs to reopen the refinery in the Virgin Island. Also get rid of the Jones Act that won’t allow non US tankers ship oil from US port to US port. We need to dump the green new deal but not give up protecting the environment.
They shut a lot of refineries down.
The greatest threat to all life on Earth, the biggest killer is the environment.
It is we who need protecting from it.
Time to...Drill Baby Drill!
The DoE secretary found your post very funny. Now go ride a bike Prol!
I have no idea why you keep repeating this nonsense on multiple threads, but it's so easily debunked I can only assume you're a bot. The highest bbl/day output recorded in the US (and we have records back to the 1860s) was 12,966,000 bbl/day in November 2019. In 1970 we were pumping 9,637,000 bbl/day. The last month of data available on the EIA website is April 2022 == we pumped 11,628,000 bbl/day that month, 120% of what you claim was peak oil. Go away.
I agree Bot
Everything is Kabuki Theater now. Absolutely everything. We are living in the most serious of times thanks to the most unserious of people ruling over the globe. This energy problem could all be fixed in short order if Biden and the Democrats and other leading leftists would just get out of the way and let the market work. Instead, winter is coming.....for real...piling all this on top of everything they broke with COVID and over a decade of economic and monetary malfeasance. It's going to be brutal....especially in Europe I think.
They could fix the energy problem but don't want to. It's all by design.
Fist bumps for barrels?
Seriously? Great strategy!
Failure at every level!
Time to invade Iraq again?
The Taliban could help with those billions of dollars of military hardware Joey of Arabia gifted them.
