They also still have strong relationship with American workers.

A relationship that would quickly end, if a more economical option for engineers and skilled labor presenteditself.

Energy independence does not exist and is a myth propagated by Big Oil.

I believe it could exist but that's another topic.

Not without nationalizing entire energy industries. Which is not going to happen. Possible, in a thought experiment. Implausible, pragmatically.

 

[BULLDOG]

You lie. I think we all understand why you are lying. But even if true it does not explain ASSHOLE Biden and Dem doing everything they can to cut back on our own energy production at home now does it. Way to care for the poor and middle class you assholes.

What has been cut back? A lot of tar sand oil comes from Canada to the gulf coast, and then directly on ships to over seas markets.

Saudi has excellent engineering schools... and plenty of skilled labor.

They drill 350 miles away in Shabah in real time from Dhahran... including directional drilling.. And, they monitor every pipeline in the country for pressure and flow from computers in Dhahran.

Well we were told we were already there.

Yes, true. yet they still find economic advantage in using US workers and engineers. Else they would not do it. All part of a bigger economic regime that includes their military complex. All due to nationalized oil and the leverage of OPEC.

Well you got lied to. Energy independence is a myth. Our energy companies are not nationalized and will sell to the highest bidder.

OK, we were lied to.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

OK, we were lied to.

Yep. As long as we are bidders in a global market, energy independence is a myth. Private oil companies will simply stop producing, if we appropriate their product at lower than market prices. They will just cash in their chips and retire on a beach.

Hell name another country that intentionally screws itself over by shutting down it's own energy production? That's just f'ing retarded. AND then helps Russia complete it's oil pipeline and runs to OPEC and begs them to pump the oil production we shut down in our own country. Christ almighty can Dems get any dumber???

The oil companies in the US are a business. They are capitalists..

Nordstream 2 benefits our European allies, stupid.

So the idea is not to be energy independent?

The idea is to be energy independent

If trump were president he would not have to beg other countries for oil

They would be begging us

If trump were president he would not have to beg other countries for oil

Trump actually went to other countries and begged them to reduce production, to get oil prices to increase. Or, should I say, his administration did that. Of course trump has no clue about anything regarding energy policy or prices.

Why is that? Because he's such a cool dude? Magaturd Qult behavior is hilarious in it's pure delusion.

The economy was at a standstill

People were not driving much so demand was low

He was trying to keep our domestic oil producers in business

You should screw up your courage and deal with reality instead of letting your ego rule you.

Enjoy a time out in the ignore lounge, overdue really.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

The economy was at a standstill

And we have been treated to two months of your bitching about fuel prices. Are we supposed to ignore your whining about the economy, now? You sure like having it both ways.

People were not driving much so demand was low

You don't have to explain these basic ideas to me. You are the one who is confused and is compelled by cultism to craft a double standard.

Only thousands of high paying jobs for the middle class, oh wait Dems don't give a shit about that.
