Have they? What is the Russian and Saudi Arabian production now compared to pre-COIVD?

Hilarious

Saudis are at pre ChiCom Flu WMD Terrorist attack oil output.

And Russia?

Hilarious. Sanctioned by everyone Russia?

You validate what a pathetic liar wessel you are.

Indonesia is back at pre ChiCom Flu WMD Terrorist Attack oil production.
Funny how everyone else is back to full production except the US.
But then again not. They don’t have leadership putting sanctions upon their own nation.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

It's a mystery, wrapped in an enigma.

“When the Biden Administration took office, it unleashed a dangerous “Mandate and Moratorium” strategy, a green jihad of sorts against the U.S. energy sector. The strategy was simple– create supply constraints for domestic oil and gas producers by dismantling distribution systems, tightening regulations, and suspending leases and permits, therefore impacting future drilling activity. Co-conspirators like Black Rock’s, Larry Fink, then jumped in by urging institutional divestment from the oil and gas sector and wielding a pseudo-sophisticated set of investments standards known as environment, social and governance (ESG). The strategy was topped off with the complicity of social media and tech’s intolerance for a diversity of ideas, ensuring Americans couldn’t discuss the flawed energy policy, let alone dissent from it.”

While responding to reporters about Russia’s incursion into Ukraine two weeks ago, President Biden committed that his administration was using every tool at its disposal to protect American businesses and consumers from rising prices at the gas pump. “I will do everything in my power to limit...

Coal is proven to cost more than it's worth.

Only in your mind

coal is a sought after energy source all over the world

You are the one that said they were back to normal. Why did you say that if you know it is not true?

On the subject of active wells....

In Jan of 2019 the US had 1065 active well. On Jan 2020 the US was down to 791, even before COVID was a thing.

By Aug of 2020 we were down to 250. Jan of 2021 we had 374, as of Feb 2022 we are up to 636.

That is a 54.8% increase.

That is also the fastest increase since the Govt started keep track of such things in 1973.

Yet somehow you think we are not increasing oil production.

 

[surada]

Funny how Russia and Saudi Arabia have no problem opening wells back up.

Funny Brandon never mentions America.

Funny indeed.

Liar. The national average was $2.47...



Like I always say, if conservatives didn't lie, they'd have absolutely nothing to say.

Wrong again.

So Biden is responsible for gas prices while Trump was president??

Says Dufus who thinks Rosa Parks and MLK are morons.
America was energy independent.
America produced 600,000 more barrels per day than it consumed in 2021.

The U.S. is now energy independent

The U.S. produced more petroleum than it consumed in 2020, and the numbers were essentially in balance in 2021.

Wut??

Tens of millions of people in America no longer commuting to work because they either lost their jobs or began working from home caused production to exceed consumption??

You don't say.

All back to full production.
Except as you point out, America.
You’re full of bullshit claiming it takes time to reopen oil.

I guess all we need to do is nationalize our oil industry and then we can be just like those countries.

The fastest growth of new wells coming on line ever and that is still not good enough for you. Why do you not blame the guy that took us from 1065 active wells to 791 even before COVID hit our country?

Why do you feel the need to lie that the rest of the world can ramp up oil production to capacity except America?

Oh yeah. You don’t want to talk about your big government master putting sanctions on US oil.

You’re delusional.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I did not lie at all. The US is very different from the rest of the world. And we are ramping up production, it is a lie for you to say it is not happening.

Oh yeah. You don’t want to talk about your big government master putting sanctions on US oil.

And despite this we are seeing record growth in the number of active wells and a faster increase in production than we saw the 3 years before COVID.

 

[LeftofLeft]

The Biden Defenders keep making excuses and shifting blame towards the oil companies as for the price of oil. I keep seeing “record production”, “oil companies not utilizing all production capacity”, “demand is higher vs. COVID lockdowns” or “Biden does not impact the price of oil” as excuses for Biden. The Left hates oil but they also don’t want the political fallout for high gas prices.

My question for the Left is if all of the points listed above are true, why did Biden and the Democrats campaign on and implement policies that RESTRICT oil production and distribution infrastructure?

Biden Campaign 2020 and early executive orders:

- said the oil companies pollute the environment and US NEEDED to transition from oil
- end subsidies for fossil fuel companies
- kill Keystone pipeline
- stop federal leasing on drilling permits
- stop coal production

All of these policies are RESTRICTIVE towards the US oil and fossil fuel industries. This sends a message to global oil market that the US is restricting its own ability to produce more oil and have more oil infrastructure all in the absence of a viable energy alternative.

Biden can control his policies. His policies need to be less restrictive or he needs to have a viable energy alternative. Currently, his policies are NOT domestic energy friendly nor does he have a viable energy alternative. Combined, these IMPACT US oil prices and Biden needs to be held accountable.

 

[Faun]

You’re delusional.

You're the one posting charts indicating that, not me.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Currently, his policies are NOT domestic energy friendly

This is true, they are not. Yet despite this our number of wells active is up almost 55% in one year and oil production itself is up also.

Would you agree with me that the US oil companies have no real incentive to increase production just to bring the price down?
