Finally Biden Did Something Right

Those are the propellers for your wind energy. Also where are we going to bury the millions of dead highly toxic batteries. You loons are going to pollute the world worse than a gas motor could.

That kicked the left right in the groin.

I WAS going to ask how shutting down the Russian pipeline was destroying America, but these other two posters have made really good points.

You see April, the reason why Biden is able to deplatform Russia and cut them off from their own money spread around the world through various banks screwing them is because the US dollar is the trading standard of the world economy.

Whenever a bank takes in ANY foreign money, it first converts that to USD then to any other currency. That determines the value of that currency. If the Russian ruble falls in value compared to USD, THEN it is worth less.

The Russian ruble ain't worth spit now BECAUSE it must trade against the USD.

I'm trying to oversimplify this a lot.

Likewise, the only reason why the US government can keep raising its debt ceiling every quarter by just printing more money to cover our debt (don't you wish you could just print more money when you need it?) is BECAUSE the USD is the world currency trading baseline.

If Russia, China and others decide to start trading on something other than USDs out of spite or so the USA can't regulate (fuck with) their banking, and America loses world currency trading status, that would collapse the value of OUR currency, collapse our economy like you wouldn't believe, send us into the dark ages, and remove our ability to float our own debt by just printing more, the very mechanism by which the USA has maintained itself almost since dropping the gold standard.

It would mean economic ruin for the USA and your worst nightmare. Right now, we have more debt than we can repay even if we put 100% of our GDP towards just repaying the INTEREST on that debt, much less repaying the principle. Guess who holds our debt?

CHINA

---- Biden has literally put America's neck on the chopping block risking everything in his blind effort to come riding in like a white knight to the rescue to bully Russia (and to try to buoy his polling numbers heading into the midterms).

Believe me, Russia and Putin have been thinking about all of this for a LONG time and Putin is no fool. He has a plan.

WE HAVE JOE BIDEN.

 

[Rigby5]

By banning Russian oil,.. now all he has to do is reopen our own pipelines.

Wrong.
Not that the US ever bought any Russian oil anyway, but it is illegal to ban the sale or purchase of Russian oil.
It is not just that the Constitution does not give the feds that authority, or even that it is prohibited by the 4th and 5th amendments, but that the US ratified the 1906 Geneva Conventions that made economic warfare illegal.

He needs to promote moving away from fossil fuels and into more cleaner energy, like electricity.

Like Electricity...............LMAO............How did we get that electricity genius..............lol

Did you use PIXIE DUST............lol

 

[saveliberty]

Why does America need to stay on fossil fuels?

Because the windmills require large quantities of grease to operate. The production of the wind mills and solar units require industrial foundries to build them. The heavy equipment that installs them run on diesel fuel. Coke, which is a key component in making steel is a fossil fuel based product. Have you actually read up on this insane idea of yours?

The world runs on fossil fuels and always will no matter what fantasy Biden and the Democrats believe.

So in Layman's terms, he wants to do business with China instead of Russia. Correct?

 

[saveliberty]

Wrong.
Not that the US ever bought any Russian oil anyway, but it is illegal to ban the sale or purchase of Russian oil.
It is not just that the Constitution does not give the feds that authority, or even that it is prohibited by the 4th and 5th amendments, but that the US ratified the 1906 Geneva Conventions that made economic warfare illegal.

Wow. Wrong on every point.

No it is not!

 

[DigitalDrifter]

I'm all for electric cars, but this is not the time to lose the advantages of utilizing fossil fuels.
Just remember folks, if you vote to keep Dimocrats in control, you're never going to see gas prices become reasonable again.

Would you rather kill them then the old fashioned way.........hmmm........

Having a Veggy in office without a set and bought and paid for is why Ukraine is dying.

Europe needs GAS.........Putin has them over a barrel..........They will be hurt more by this than Russia as they move to China and BRICS to end the PETRO DOLLAR.
The world's currency is important to us............more so than them............Careful not to shoot yourself in the foot.

 

[LeftofLeft]

He and his handlers can promote all he wants. The problem is the alternative energy sources at the moment are not mature nor cost-effective to handle our economy. My proposal would be to incentivize fossil fuel providers to accelerate and mature alternative energy. Make them partners, not enemies. Telecommunications companies resisted internet-based voice communications because they didn’t want to give up long distance revenue from the masses. They transformed and became better. Oil companies can do the same and transform into diversified energy companies.

Demonizing and punishing US oil companies while you patronize and capitulate foreign oil companies has been a failed posture of Democrats going back almost 50 years. Democrats and Oil Companies need to change.

 

[Puma Punku]

A quick google search will reveal all the downfalls of EV, Solar panels, Windmills etc.. But far too many Americans genuinely do not want to know the truth about them. Sometimes I envy them. The world is a very scary place right now. Not because of the boogyman, Dracula or Climate Change....For those of us that seek the truth...the world is far more terrifying.

 

[Rigby5]

I did say cleaner...

https://www.ucsusa.org/sites/default/files/2020-05/evs-cleaner-than-gasoline.pdf

The Long View: Electric Cars Are Cleaner Than Gas Cars. Period.

Electric cars “have by far the lowest lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions,” says ICCT, the international group that helped uncover Dieselgate.

www.forbes.com

Wrong.
EVs are the equivalent of about 29 mpg, and that is not good.
For example, the VWs they the gov stopped were getting 57 mpg.
Lots of ICE vehicles get over 40 mpg, so are cleaner than EVs.
About the only vehicles that do not beat the 29 mpg of EVs are big trucks like an HMV or something.

The reason EVs are so bad is that batteries are very inefficient in and out, plus add all that extra weight.

Exactly why that was created

 

[Rigby5]

Why does America need to stay on fossil fuels?

Because there is nothing else yet.
We dumped nuclear, and wind and solar are not enough, require heavy, inefficient, and expensive batteries, and not consistent enough.

 

[Leo123]

Sure about that? Banning the oil will really cut into Russia's economy giving Putin good reason to really retaliate against US, meantime, we have no alternative unless Joe buys from some other shithole like Venezuela, or, gasp, redo Trump's energy bills which you know he won't do.

Worse, being that Biden is now abusing America's leverage on banks due to the dollar's trading status, this could be just the ticket to force other countries like China and Russia to ABANDON the dollar and start trading on some other currency which would be CATASTROPHIC to America!

Biden screwed the economy when he shut down the pipeline and rescinded Trump's energy EOs. Now we're in real bind because of Biden's short sighted political policies. He is begging OPEC for more oil. Americans are suffering under this illegitimate dirt bag.

 

[BlindBoo]

Why does America need to stay on fossil fuels?

It is the petroleum age. Until they figure out a fusion generator. It's a cheap source of energy and has been a boon for mankind's expansion. Not so much a boon for all the other living things but whose counting.

Biden is responsible for the high oil prices that enabled putin to invade

Yeah an Benedict Donald gave us oil prices so low the oil companies were paying us to buy it.

Saul Biden man.

 

[Rigby5]

Wow. Wrong on every point.

Care to try to back up your claims?

Like where in the Constitution does it allow the federal government to block private transactions?

 

[BluesLegend]

How do you like Biden's green new deal now?
