Stop blaming Biden. He has only been growing and strengthening the economy
It's Trump working with the Russians who are ruining this country
Do conservatives not understand that the keystone XL would still not be completed today, that it would be transporting Canadian oil that would be sold on the world futures market.....
WTW1, in general the bottleneck is refining it- even if more comes in, there isn't much headroom at refineries, and since the beginning of 22, they've been running at utilization not seen since the 90s

They get that the Keystone pipeline had and has absolutely nothing to do with this, right?
We get the keystone pipeline and Biden have nothing to do with anything that’s going wrong.
No no. The racist and fascist MAGA conservatives did this. Come on. You know better OP, stick to the script.

From April 2020

Yeaaa they don't like to acknowledge that
Instead of the pipeline which is literally above ground, the same petroleum is being transported by far more accident-prone and inefficient oil trains that can cause literal cataclysmic events when derailments occur. Look up the Lac-Magantic disaster that occurred in Canada.
Time to grow up, kids. Our infrastructure and the entire global economy depends on petroleum, and while we should continue to utilize and develop renewables where feasible, don’t delude yourself that this technology is anywhere close to being able to handle global energy needs at the moment.
Build the fucking pipeline. Nuclear power technology has also advanced considerably from the days of Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, 1960s plants that were designed with 4MB RAM computers large enough to fill a warehouse, slide-rules and paper charts.

From the Federal Reserve bank of Dallas, there were considerable domestic cost impacts related to increased North American shale oil extraction. The global “price of oil” (which is generally stated on a futures basis) =/= actual domestic cost for end-users.
The Saudi-Russia dispute occurred in 2020 during the height of COVID lockdown.
Shale production in North America has been proven to reduce domestic oil prices, along with offsetting the respective share of oil imports. There is a much more localized supply chain and lower overhead costs as compared to importation.
Global shipping itself is a top contributor to carbon emissions, which is another externality related to importing foreign energy.

I don’t think this has anything to do with keystone, but regardless, it’s one of the most reprehensible and craven political strategies an administration has ever engaged in. Dumping our reserves into the market in a transparently calculated election gimmick when we will have to purchase it back at 3-5x the price is something that not even Nixon would have done
If not now, when should we be using our strategic oil reserves?

Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without….amiright Joe?
😂 ok
Also, when would a good time to use strategic oil reserves be?? Would it be when a major oil producing country invaded a neigboring democracy, and you need to stop buying from that country? Or if not then, what the fuck do we even have reserves for?

Pretend Trump were president. You think he’d do something different?
