US is more energy independent than ever

[Mikeoxenormous]

Dump didn't control drilling, nor did Obama nor BabyBush

And of course idiots like you have no clue. When President Trump authorized the drilling up in Anwar(yeah i know you have no idea what Authorize means) the oil came "barreling" down along with the price of oil and gasoline. Just like when George Bush left office gasoline was $1.85 a gallon and a few months later under the brown turd Obammy, it doubled to $3.65 a gallon.

Yep the reason why the Marxists/Demofascist always fuck you guys over, is because you are either absent minded fucks, or just plain ole stupid. Which is it?

Got any numbers from this year, or even anything newer than six months old?

U.S. Energy Independence Soars To Highest Level In Over 70 Years

Newly released data from the Energy Information Administration provides a clear picture of U.S. energy independence in 2022.

I'm sure we can all agree this is good for America.

The problem is we sell oil internationally. Otherwise America would be energy independent

How is it good for America? The article is arguing what the definition of "independence", is.

The article has nothing to do with your OP title

I call bullshit on Forbes' article. West TX crude is light/sweet. The US is dealing with Biden's "war on energy", including shutting down pipelines, refineries, permits, and drilling. Just look at the price of gas today compared to 2020. The number of drilling rigs is dropping, so oil production will drop. Look at the price of a BBL of oil today, $90/bbl, soon to be over $100 when winter demand hits.
Democrats can keep saying there is no oil shortage, but the price says otherwise.

The Basics of Crude Oil Classification

Crude oil is an energy source for much of the world, but it's also a commodity that can be traded. Learn about crude oil before trading and investing.

2020? There was no demand for oil in 2020. Over 200 US producers went bankrupt.

Nope. We produce 12-13 million bpd and use 20 million bpd.

And why was that?

Here's something interesting, a bunch of frivolous lawsuits were filed against Trump.

---Trump SUED for Saying ‘China Virus’, ‘Kung Flu’ While He Was in Office---

So people don't know where the virus came from?

None of this refutes the fact that we produce more energy than we consume.

NO, WE DO NOT. If we did we wouldn't be importing Venezuela's filthy oil and OPEC's expensive oil, not to mention wiping out our oil reserves...

Why not? We produce more than we consume. Isn't that a good thing?

All energy is not not oil. Did you read the article?

 

[Oddball]

Ladies, it's not Rocket Science. We export more energy than we import.....because it includes all sources of energy we produce. Most significant is liquified Natural Gas exports. It's the same formula since it happened in 2019. We do not export more crude oil than we import. Haven't for over 60 years.

Weekly U.S. Net Imports of Crude Oil and Petroleum Products (Thousand Barrels per Day)

Completely irrelevant when millions of potential barrels of crude per year going into the market have been deliberately sidelined.

We always have sold oil...The problem is that far less is being produced to sell.

Our electric grid is sub par. It can't handle what we need now, let alone all the EV's the government insist we drive. Wind turbines only work when there is wind. They have a five year lifespan. They are killing eagles. They are killing whales in the ocean. They need miles and miles of graveyards to bury the dead turbines.
Solar doesn't work for half the nation. For instance Ohio doesn't have enough sun days to make it cost effective.
Oil runs the world and is in nearly everything that's manufactured, from clothes to make up, to everything else. Our country is floating on it, and we are stupidly relying on enemies for what we need instead of our own ample supply.
All because of the climate change scam...

 

[elektra]

Why not? We produce more than we consume. Isn't that a good thing?

No, it is not.

Not when consumption is down because we can not afford to drive.

No, not when our laws rules and regulations don't allow us to use all our gas

No, not when our global warming policy causes the volatile prices

Some other reasons are fuel economy is better now than ever, there are more people working remotely.

I'm not how we are stopped from using all of our gas.

Our economy is in dire straights. All because of the new Democrat global warming policy.

Trillions of dollars being spent to literally change the world is pure foolishness.

Our economy is not in dire straights. Unemployment is low. Inflation is problem, but we have seen a lot worse. Overall, not booming, but compared with the rest of the world we are doing pretty well.

Helping to defend a democracy next door to Europe against an Illegal invasion by an authoritarian country is not foolish. Especially when that democracy is willing to step up to the plate and fight for their democracy.

You have oil production?

Yes, I have oil production

Record spending, record debt, inflation the worst in history outside of a depression.

Unemployment is massive. Of the 10,000,000 illegal aliens that the democrats invited into the country none have jobs.

Economy, the democrats have stated and are creating a new green economy. All the job growth is the government spending on the new economy. We have never done this in our history. It is a disaster.

Marxist/socialist economies always fail.

I remember how the Chaos Caucus bounced the idea around their vast echo chamber that under Joe Biden's policies the US was no longer energy independent like we was under Trumpyberra. Now you want to pretend our increasing energy independence under Joe Biden is irrelevant.
