Someone Please explain why Biden wants oil from the worst polluting oil production company while BANNING US domestic OIL?

[Moonglow]

Why buy oil from Venezuela?

Because we can.

 

[Viktor]

Why does Biden want to buy Venezuelan oil again?

The Treasury Department issued limited sanctions relief for oil production in Venezuela, following talks in Mexico City between a sector of Venezuela’s opposition coalition, the “Unitary Platform,” and the South American nation’s illegitimate regime of Nicolas Maduro.

BUT what has Biden done to the USA domestic oil production efforts as exemplified by OIL Leases released by Biden for exploration?
How long do you think it takes from the time a federal land oil exploration lease is prepared, presented, signed, explored and productive?
From the people that do it for a living!!!
Drilling Down on Federal Leasing Facts
It takes months for new wells to start producing and it can take more than five years for some fields to go from discovery to production, thanks in part to regulatory and legal hurdles along the way. Mar 24, 2022
Now for another FACT.
A) In 2021, approximately 25% of total US oil production came from federal territory

How much oil and gas comes from federal territory?

Roughly 25% of crude oil and more than 10% of natural gas produced in the US came from federal territory.

usafacts.org

B) How many years did Obama continually sign FEWER oil leases? Every year except one year!
EACH year he signed fewer and fewer leases. SO DUMMIES!!!
Trump took office in 2017! Faced with 332 fewer leases than the year before, etc.
Trump SIGNED MORE leases each and every year except in Covid year.
C) If it takes 5 years... and Trump signed MORE leases than Obama what does that do for oil production in almost 5 years on federal lands... EXCEPT WAIT for it... WHAT has the idiot dummy Biden done?
D) The Journal reports, “The Biden administration has leased fewer acres for oil-and-gas drilling offshore and on federal land than any other administration in its early stages dating back to the end of World War II, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. President Biden’s Interior Department leased 126,228 acres for drilling through Aug. 20, his first 19 months in office, the analysis found. No other president since Richard Nixon in 1969-70 leased out fewer than 4.4 million acres at this stage in his first term
E) Biden increases the COST of oil exploration!
Biden increases oil royalty rate and scales back lease sales on federal lands The royalty rate for new leases will increase to 18.75% from 12.5%.
That's a 50% jump and marks the first increase to royalties for the federal government since they were imposed in the 1920s.

"I want you to look into my eyes, I guarantee We Are Going To Get Rid of Fossil Fuels”


So to ALL of us that buy gas , the above Biden guarantee is a MAJOR reason we have to pay 75% more for gas, AND inflation is at 7.1% for the 12 months ended November 2022 Again versus 1.4% for 2020...

However, most of this pollution comes from just a few countries: China, for example, generates around 30% of all global emissions, while the United States is responsible for almost 14%.In the ranking below you can find the 10 countries that produce the most emissions, measured in millions of tons of CO2 in 2019.

1. China, with more than 10,065 million tons of CO2 released.
2. United States, with 5,416 million tons of CO2
3. India, with 2,654 million tons of CO2
4. Russia, with 1,711 million tons of CO2
5. Japan, 1,162 million tons of CO2

What is the US current oil production?


US Crude Oil Field Production is at a current level of 12.10M, up from 12.00M last week and up from 11.80M one year ago. This is a change of 0.83% from last week and 2.54% from one year ago.

The above LIST is total carbon... not specific pollution by the worst country doing oil production..
This is the specific reason I put this chart up and evidently YOU didn't comprehend the difference!
Plus... population has an effect
Venezuela ranks number 50 in the list of countries (and dependencies) by population.
Because you may not understand this distinction...
Venezuela total population is: 28.5 million... Your list smallest population is Saudi Arabia 33 million.
Now how about causes of emissions: Cars... Venezuela 4,100,000 cars. Smallest population on List Saudi Arabia 15 million..
MY point is simple... Venezuela has fewer people than any on the above list, plus fewer Co2 emitting cars at 4 million.

The damage is done. The United States and the World is going through an excruciating period of time.

But why make matters worse by buying oil from the worst Co2 emitting oil production country when the concept of
"Energy Independence" is what I don't think many Americans are against!
Why are you against the USA being energy independent? More importantly as you are probably an EV fan, tell me what you will do when your electric bill is over over $2,278/month to pay for all the NEW nuclear power plants needed to provide the electricity for all cars/trucks being EVs? Or $2,249/mo for 26 million solar panels, or $6,801/mo for 1 million WTs. Again this is per the 129 million households to meet the needs for 10.1 Trillion ADDITIONAL kWh for all cars/trucks being EVs.
Remember... that costs will be passed on to us consumers either directly or indirectly through higher business' electricity costs.
WE will pay! And all the while GAS prices will continue to increase as production will diminish because supply diminishes.
Right now there are 137 operating oil refineries in the USA. Dozens of refineries will close in the coming decades.
PLUS.. where will the 2 billion tires made every year get the 300 million barrels of oil used to make the tires?
Where will asphalt makers that use 1.5 Billion barrels of oil to make the asphalt that covers 94% of American roads?

[Foxfyre]

No, Biden did not shut down all oil production and is not totally to blame for high gas prices, but his war on fossil fuels has certainly exacerbated the problem. What oil company will invest mega millions or even billions in exploration, new production, expanding refinery capacities, etc. when they are being told by this administration that they are to be phased out within a fairly short time?

So since Biden is going hat in hand to OPEC countries, including Venezuela, to buy oil, we have to say either we are no longer energy independent or this administration doesn't know what the hell it is doing and doesn't care what effect it has on the American people.

And Biden has certainly limited the oil company's short term ability to significantly increase production.

From MarketWatch, nobody's idea of a pro-right wing publication:

". . .Biden didn't shut down U.S. oil production. However, oil production has fallen under his tenure. In 2021, U.S. daily crude oil production was 11.19 million barrels, which was slightly below the 11.28 million per day production in 2020. . ."

And because industry lockdowns in 2020 due to COVID did skew the numbers, comparing current production to 2019 is more realistic:

". . .In 2019, U.S. oil production hit a record high of 12.3 million barrels per day. So, U.S. oil production has fallen under Biden. The EIA expects U.S. oil production to rise to 11.91 million barrels per day in 2022 and hit a new record high of 12.85 million barrels per day in 2023. . ."

(The actual number in 2022 is reported at ll.85 million barrels per day and is now projected to be 12.6 barrels in 2023 which would be a new high if they make it.)

Still from MarketWatch:

". . .Biden issued an executive order.​

Biden did issue an executive order that barred oil and gas leases on government land. That order was soon turned down by a federal judge. If anything, the Interior Department approvals to drill oil and gas wells on public lands in 2021 were higher than what the Trump administration issued in its first year. The permits have plummeted after the initial rise even as Biden has been cajoling oil majors to increase production.

The Biden administration canceled the oil lease auction.​

Recently, the Biden administration canceled the oil lease auction in Alaska and New Mexico. . ."

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Who said he BANNED ALL oil production? I said.. " BANNING US domestic OIL?"
I didn't say he BANNED ALL did I?
Banning US domestic oil was done by Biden on Federal Land is the only place he could ban!
PROOF!!!

Biden pauses new oil and gas leases amid legal battle over cost of climate change​

Now, now.

How are retarded Leftists supposed to win an argument with you if you don't allow them to Straw Man?

Horsedung. Biden's executive order shut down the Keystone pipeline, putting thousands of construction workers out of work. Canada filed a lawsuit against him for it.

Oxfam: "Emissions from the lifestyle of billionaires, their private planes and yachts are thousands of times higher than the emissions of the average person, which is completely unacceptable. But if we look at the emissions from their investments, their carbon dioxide emissions are more than a million times higher."
The eradication of super-rich parasites as a phenomenon (there are 2700 of them on the planet, plus submillionaires) solves the problem of emissions of harmful gases by half. Without any suffering of the rest of humanity. But the head of the UN knows, if he mentions this, the parasites will immediately dismiss him

When did Biden ban all oil production in the USA?

Biden is the same. He wants to be applauded and praised for his good, while doing the same old shit. He wants the adjuration without doing anything to earn it.
