Biden’s oil crisis fuels national discontent with president's agenda

…Even if Americans could forget the questionable family dealings, they are unhappy about the path President Biden has chosen to take energy policy. A January Gallup poll showed that nearly 3 in 4 Americans disapproved of the Biden energy policies, and that was conducted before the country’s national average price per gallon of gas topped $5 for the first time in our history…

,..Then he made a big show about going to Saudi Arabia to beg for oil even though he refuses to allow for American production, canceling the Keystone Pipeline and ending new drilling in the beginning of his presidency.

This president has forgotten that he is president of the United States, not of the rest of the planet. Yes, he is the leader of the free world, but he is responsible for standing up for the American people, helping make lives better here. Instead, he has passed the buck on the inflation families have been dealing with since his multi-trillion-dollar relief package was packed.

Check the record. First, the Biden administration said that inflation is transitory, then the price increases were only temporary and would come back down, then they were the result of COVID-19 and supply chain shortages, then he tried gaslighting Americans, saying it was Russian President Vladimir Putin’s gas price hike.

This is not leadership befitting the leader of the free world. Biden needs to take a hard look at the situation the nation finds ourselves in: families are struggling to make ends meet, and the distrust in our system of government is at a dangerous level. The Biden agenda is, in a word, failing. Americans have now learned first-hand what big government spending and reliance on foreign energy means for their daily lives — Soviet-style empty shelves and prices we can’t afford…

Biden is driving Americans into poverty. He is out of touch with us and could not care less about our needs. Biden would rather beg foreign despots for dirty oil rather than let Americans develop much cleaner and cheaper oil and gas.

 

Biden is an idiot.

 

Within his first few days, President Biden

1) reentered the Paris climate accord,

2) canceled the Keystone pipeline,

3) halted leasing programs in ANWAR,

4) issued a 60-day halt on all new oil and gas leases and drilling permits on federal lands and waters, which account for 25% of all US oil production,

5) imposed new regulations on oil, gas, and methane emissions,

6) and directed federal agencies to eliminate all support for fossil fuels.

You all decide if he has anything to do with the price of gas, oil, and commodities, including food, that depend on petroleum products.

Inflation anyone?

 

Thumbs up big time!

 

And the decision is. NOPE.

 

You are denying that inflation is in our economy
affecting us big time?

 

Nope, I'm denying that this.
1) reentered the Paris climate accord,

2) canceled the Keystone pipeline,

3) halted leasing programs in ANWAR,

4) issued a 60-day halt on all new oil and gas leases and drilling permits on federal lands and waters, which account for 25% of all US oil production,

5) imposed new regulations on oil, gas, and methane emissions,

6) and directed federal agencies to eliminate all support for fossil fuels.

Magically made **** go wrong.

 

If by a small probability it didn't, it presented an irresistible opportunity for landfall profits by your enemy, corporate America. N'est-ce pas?

And in another regard, one can not ignore Biden's publically pronounced opinion and goals for fossil fuels as an incentive for exploitation.

 

He did all of those things. How can you deny reality?

 

Because none of those things are magic.

 

But they all contributed in part to the inflationary pressures we have now

 

No not really.

 

Biden's policies have certainly helped bring prices at the pump higher. What is more he did not care that they were high and does not care about anybody in this country.

That said oil production is now back to 12.1 million barrels a day which is close to what we want.

In Trump's first year as president we did not even reach 10 million barrels a day. Production then peaked to 12.9 MBD in 2019.

In the 6 months from November 2021 through April 2022 average daily oil production was 11.6 million barrels.

https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=MCRFPUS2&f=M

Now we are up to 12 million barrels. That is pretty good production. Under Trump it would have been a million more but it is not like they stopped drilling for oil in this country. Biden cannot stop drilling on private lands.

 

Although that I don’t support Biden’s ernergy policies, I’ll keep posting honest facts;

1. Since Biden became POTUS, drilling activities have increased, from less than 350 ACTIVE drilling rigs to over 750 ACTIVE drilling rigs.

2. Workovers have substantially increased.

3. Reactivations of dormant wells, mainly below average producing wells have drastically increased.

Overall, U.S. oil production has increased.

I will not explain the specifics of all of the above, however, for anyone’s info, recently retired, worked nearly 40 years in the oil and gas industry, and in 7 countries.

Reference to; “Biden cut U.S. oil production”.....wrong language

 

Oil prices were in the toilet in March and April 2020.

Crude got as low as $16.94 April 12th 2020. Crude did not get to $50 until the first day of trading 2021.

So it makes perfect sense for drillers to produce all they can when they can get $100 a barrel.

That is why the reactivation of dormant and lower producing wells.

 

That would explain this:

 

Yes, except these things caused inflation.

 

You need to post facts not fiction. Here are the FACTS:

Which led to this:

 

Biden’s so incredibly stupid that he can have Europe as a colossal shining example of how idiotic and dangerous it is to rely on its enemies for fossil fuels while transitioning to renewables and think it’s a brilliant idea to make the exact same mistake here. The man is a moron and his strings are being pulled by other morons.

But I get it. When he and his morons have spent so many years enriching themselves by sucking off foreign Dick, it makes sense that things could get very confusing for them.

 

Your quote; You need to post facts, not fiction

Question; What fiction I’ve posted???????

I see, we should only accept your facts/opinions, and they are non-debatable.

As the cost of a commodity like crude varies with the difference between a supply & demand, and absent interference from a fascist government production has tracked demand, one would have to wonder what caused the second dip in production from Jan 2021 - Feb 2021 after the warm fuzzies of available vaccines spread across the land. Why did production stop tracking demand after Biden's executive actions?

 

prices coming down at the pump has the right furious

 

American oil costs more, it will only come down when foreign oil increases supply

we do not have a shortage here, just American oil costs more

btw, oil is a finite resource, let's save ours for our children and their children and use up other country's oil first

 

And inflation is raising hell with the budgets of the American Families.
