We Used to Be Energy Independent: What Happened?

[LeftofLeft]

Utter nonsense. Production was far more under consumption when he was sworn in. Now production has caught up with consumption, and we're approaching record level highs -- and you still bitch and moan.

It’s not a bitch and mown. It’s an analysis. There was no economic reason for Biden to pursue the energy policies he has. The Market doesn’t lie.

$1.07 ?????

In what universe?

I posted the pic of the sign on this board back when it happened. So do a search or STFU tard

Global pandemic caused the price of gas to drop, not any policy of the orange fuckup.

You believe in a myth.

Do you believe that the Canadian tar sands oil is not going to market?

Not sure what you’re saying.

With global inflation on the horizon, why would any President push restrictive policies on the US fossil fuel industry without a viable alternative?

You believe that any policy of President caused the price of oil to go up.

What restrictive polices?

 

[Lesh]

It is acceptable to you that our oil, would be allowed to be shipped away? If so, why? When everyone is saying we need more oil I'm all for it but then to take it and ship it away?

So you DO want a government takeover of the oil business

 

[LeftofLeft]

You believe that any policy of President caused the price of oil to go up.

No. I believe that the policies of any President can contribute or impact the price of oil; with that, make us more or less dependent on foreign sources of oil.

 

[LeftofLeft]

What restrictive polices?

I have already listed them many times throughout this thread.

No one said the market lies -- just that you don't understand what it's saying.

You are splitting hairs yet the core remains…. Biden pursued restrictive policies on US domestic energy production without a viable alternative and the markets responded. I maintain that had Keystone moved forward, ANWAR drilling opened up, and permits not been pursued to be revoked, coal production maintained, this collective would have resulted in lower prices vs. what we are paying now. Domestic and global energy companies and nation states would respond by increasing production.

Keystone XL is no benefit to the US consumer or taxpayers. They have unused pipeline capacity all over the US.

No one said the market lies -- just that you don't understand what it's saying.

Again, the Biden regime passed restrictive policies on US fossil fuel exploration and and production without a viable energy alternative. The Market sees this action being taken on the largest consumer of fossil fuel in the Market. If you are a foreign entity be it a company or nation state producing oil without the restrictive policies, are your prices going to go up or down? HINT: Demand has spiked and supply and infrastructure declined.

Market is an economic term. Let’s see how much you understand it.

Is Keystone XL infrastructure, YES or NO?

When politicians say that the United States was “energy independent” under former President Donald Trump, some people may get the false impression that the U.S. was 100% self-sufficient. The country still relied on foreign sources of energy, including oil.

To help meet domestic demand, the U.S. has imported oil and other forms of energy from abroad, including from Russia, for many years. And to some energy analysts, a scenario in which the U.S. relies only on the energy it produces is not likely to happen anytime soon.

Instead, those who tout this so-called “energy independence” may be referring to the fact that, on net, the country either produced more energy than it consumed, exported more energy than it imported, or, more specifically, had a greater number of exports than imports of petroleum, which includes crude oil and refined products from crude oil, such as gasoline and various fuels.

However, by any of those definitions, the U.S. was still “energy independent” in 2021 under President Joe Biden — contrary to claims made by Republicans who have suggested otherwise.

Factual information is readily available. Why conservatives continue to post horseshit is a testament to Roger Ailes legacy of creating the world's greatest propaganda machine.

The fact that the US needs to import from other countries to keep up with demand exposed Liberals’ notion of passing domestic restrictions on fossil fuel exploration and production even more asinine.

Liberals want the restrictions yet they don’t want the political fallout for higher gas prices.

By "spiked" you mean return to pre-pandemic levels. Same as production.

Green idiots and their junk climate science happened.

In pre-pandemic, there were not the level of restrictions in place that we have today.
