[QUOTE=Canada;2674652]15 months after Biden cancelled drilling on federal lands he still has not changed it. These federal lands had already been leased and permitted. Keystone pipeline was cancelled and Biden regulations are making it virtually impossible for any new pipeline. Democrats and republicans both went to Biden last week to try to get more drilling and pipelines started. Biden refuses to budge and goes to our enemies begging for more oil. We can't increase our production without new drilling if we drill we need new pipelines to get it to refineries. Keystone would be operational now and we could be delivering 800,000 more barrels of oil a day from Canada. If he reinstated it keystone could be operating by next May.

There is no one dumb enough to think that EV's are going to reduce our oil dependence significantly for at least 10 to 30 years.

We may as well cut our military with our current president because we don't have a Commander in Chief. We have a puppet trying to sweet talk our enemies. We are a weakened country and in only 15 months have lost the respect of our allies and most of the free world. Yes Biden is liked by several countries but unfortunately these countries are all enemies of USA. We should be ramping up domestic drilling and oil production rather than being hostage to our enemies but Biden priorities are to fund our enemies economies along with funding terrorist countries.[/QUOTE]The number of drill rigs operating has increased 300% since Biden took office. Noone is stopping drilling except for the tight labour market which Biden has produced with his exceptional jobs growth. Oil has fallen like a brick this week thanks to Bidens fantastic market soothing skills.

Once again you have completely lost the plot on Keystone. It was being built to substitute rail freight with a pipeline, not increasing flow.

The only dumb thing is all you wingers who every day repeat the same nonsense. It took 5 years for Blackberrys to be obsolete once smart phones hit the market. Once the battery manufacturing catches up with demand the electric vehicle market will rocket and oil demand plummet.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2674654]Why doesn't Zelensky just surrender to Putin? I would say it is because Ukraine had a taste of liberal democracy and much prefers it to the enslavement to an authoritarian dictator, even though the latter is much preferred by Putin and his like-minded comrades in the USA Repub Party.

Also, the longer Putin's astonishingly stupid war goes on, the worse it is for Russia's economy, currency, standing in the world and the stronger alliances among liberal democracies become.

So that makes surrendering to Putin a poor option.

I wish Trump hadn't done that for all 4 years of his presidency. To whatever extent his single-minded focus on surrendering to Putin, Xi, Kim, the Taliban, etc, distracted him from, you know, focusing on preventing and responding intelligently to the threat of worldwide economy-destroying Pandemics, wiping out millions upon millions of USA jobs, mass murdering almost a million Americans so far and all that, it is obvious the Trump strategy of surrendering to America's adversaries and enemies of American values was also clearly a poor option.

As witnessed by the horrific conditions and across the board results Trump produced and handed to Biden to fix in 2021.[/QUOTE]Notice how many corporations pulled out of Russia without even being forced almost like the oligarchs and the EU NATO and Biden are one entity.

Doesn't look like a lot of independence there, I hope Putin damages the corporatocracy's stranglehold on this country, somebody needs to.

[QUOTE=Villainy;2674761]Fact: Biden has been in office less than 14 months. Biden signed the executive order halting new oil and gas leases on 1/27/21. So it is only 13 1/2 months.

Seriously? EV's alone aren't going to completely reduce our oil dependence. But combined with rapid growth in renewables (hydro, wind and solar panels) there is a strong likelihood that oil production will be reduced dramatically.

It seems to already be happening in England.

Your posts are just fiction. I agree about one thing though. The 12 countries are Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, Afghanistan Taliban, and several other terrorists nations. That actually is a negative for the American people.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2674485]You are right. There is not enough lithium in the world or other means to store it. With new technology, who knows, but we are not there now.

On top of that, what do you do when the sun goes down? Well, you have your batteries for three days right? And if the sun is blocked for more than 3 days?

I remember people in California giving us here in Texas shit when we went without power for 2 days. The reason for that was that the wind turbines froze. The nuclear kept going and so did the natural gas. I had electricity for only 12 out of 24 hours for 2 days. It sucked because of the cold, but it was 2 days.

Point is alternate energy fails in extreme conditions typically when you need it most. What kept people warm was going to their cars and using gasoline to warm up and portable propane heaters. There is no storage alternative as good as fossil fuels. Period.

That Dems do not get that is unsurprising to me. Hell, they are going to endure even more and more power outages in the name of climate change.[/QUOTE]You are correct. Great post!

[QUOTE=Canada;2674393]Biden policies are killing the economy. Inflation is at record levels. Gas prices highest since 2010 Obama presidency. Border crises still happening with criminal, terrorists and drugs coming freely into USA. World leaders refusing to take Biden calls. Our Allie's losing faith of USA under Biden. And what are the fools talking about? You guessed it Trump, Trump and more Trump. Lies about Trump doesn't lower gas prices. Half the democrats are smart enough to know that gas was $1. 99 under Trump so Biden blames Putin. What a joke. Blaming Trump and Putin does not help the poor. Blaming Trump and Putin for Biden incompetence doesn't help our economy. How much longer are the fools, Biden included going to try and push this agenda? Biden is counting on his followers to continue to be stupid and the posts here seem to prove his strategy is working. Some democrats are getting smarter. None of the socialists are getting any smarter. Now on this thread we only have Republicans and Socialists. Not a democrat to be seen here.[/QUOTE]Accurate facts. Good post. The socialists have to keep talking about Trump and have to blame Putin. Biden presidency has been a total disaster since his first day in office. The socialists can only defend Biden with opinions from liberal fake news sites and are embarrassed that they can not find one good thing Biden has done. Other than kids ass of Russia and China.

Your Moscow friends might not have noticed anything different yet. But they sure will eventually and for a very long time. Especially any of them who had a life savings or retirement funds in rubles.

Meanwhile, the USA economy and standing in the world has rarely been stronger, growing faster and with better future prospects (until a Repub slithers back into the WH to fuck up everything he touches again, of course) other than under a couple of other Dems in the past.

Killing and harming innocents.

Many people (including some corporate heads) knew to rush to the side of the victims, and align there.

In the United States only the Trump simpletons could not determine which way to go.

You run out of time long before you run out of money.

Sanctions won't bother Moscow LOL its a tough place, the people are the salt of the earth I sure hope the EU remembers Volgograd, now bigger and better with fucking nukes and Putin!!

BTW the Marriott I stayed at right by the Bolshoi in the fotos is still open.

Good for them! Can't wait to check in again!

After setting a record for the largest offshore lease sale last year in the Gulf of Mexico, the Interior Department plans to auction off oil and gas drilling rights on more than 200,000 acres across Western states by the end of March, followed by 1 million acres in the Cook Inlet, off the coast of Alaska.

So no halt to permits or drilling, just you guys not even capable of a basic google search to glean the real facts.
