Biden crushes US oil industry and Russia profits from it

The industry continued the importing refined product during the Trumpybear's term as well.
I never said we didn't.....I only took issue with the poster that claimed we didn't start until Trump was President....that was a bold face lie....we started under Clinton, and reached a peak under Obama.
 
Did you read the article in President Putin's news outlet? I doubt it.

According to YOUR source, "the U.S. imported 61.75 million barrels of crude oil and petroleum products from Russia in January-May 2019". That's about 150 days which amounts to about 410,000 barrels PER DAY.

The US CONSUMED about 19.5 MILLION BARRELS PER DAY.

2020 was the year of the COVID lockdown. There was no demand world wide.

During the Trump administration Russian imports made up for the shortfall of sanctions against Venezuela. Went from 14 million to 72 million.

Cool....but we didn't start importing Russian oil under Trump....and in fact were less then under Obama, who was still importing oil from the brutal dictatorship in Venezula
 
Biden Shuts Down Keystone Pipeline, Removes Sanctions From Nord Stream 2, Then Imports Tons of Oil From Russia

To be fair, Biden is not just importing oil from Russia, he is importing oil from Iran also. But the bigger question might be what are the cuts for Hunter and The Big Guy? Someone is benefiting from all of this at the expense of Americans. Might as well go with the most likely ones first. Under Trump, this country reached energy independence for the first time, and under Biden, it has gone to hell in a handbasket.

Energynow.com reports:

One year since President Joe Biden cancelled approval for the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada, and the United States’ thirst for oil is as strong as ever and rising.

U.S. oil imports from Saudi Arabia and Russia have increased, and gasoline prices are higher than they have been in the last five years.

“[Keystone XL] was a missed opportunity to increase North American energy security, lower costs for American consumers and reduce dependence on foreign energy sources that are hostile to U.S. interests,” says Frank Macchiarola, senior vice-president with the American Petroleum Institute.

Renewable energy in the U.S. is growing, and demand for oil continues to surge.

Consumption in 2023 is expected to reach 17.2 million barrels per day, higher than before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Before President Biden’s cancellation in January 2021, Canadian oil producers remained committed to Keystone XL despite waiting nearly 12 years for the project to go ahead.

In 2018, a decade after the first regulatory application, Keystone XL had 20-year shipping commitments for about 60 per cent of its capacity. In 2020, that increased to nearly 70 per cent.

The U.S. Gulf Coast is the world’s largest processing region for what is known as “heavy oil,” and Alberta is the world’s largest heavy oil producer.

“Keystone XL was probably one of the largest pipeline projects proposed that would have tied Canadian supply to the U.S. Gulf coast as a bullet train express,” says Kevin Birn, chief analyst, Canadian crude oil markets with consultancy IHS Markit.

The most recent data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration shows that in May, 844,000 barrels of oil were imported from Russia. This makes Biden the real Putin puppet. Was it for profit or for blackmail? We may never know, but we do know it was not done for the American pvoting.
If it is critical, a matter of life and death, for the WORLD to end fossil fuel use....then why are we destroying the nation and economy and putting such financial hardship in Americans if we can NOT make the immediate switch and need fossil fuel until we can make the switch???

If we know we need fossil fuels until we are ready to make that switch, why aren't we using our own fossil fuels instead of begging and overpaying our enemies for those sources of energy?!?

This makes no f*ing sense.

It's AOC's words come to life - remember how she said we were going to replace fossil fuels with solar, wind, water, and technology that HAS NOT BEEN INVENTED YET.
-- They know Solar, wind, & water can not replace fossil fuel yet but still have destroyed our own energy independence by refusing to use our own resources in favor of paying our enemies for THEIR fossil fuels to tide us over until we do have adequate alternatives to fossil fuel.

Are liberals / Democrats really stupid enough to believe paying some other country, especially financially supporting our enemies, to drill oil instead of us doing so, putting that oil onboard diesel-gulping, carbon-belching, slow-ass oil tankers to be shipped half way around the world, transferred to diesel-using tanker trucks, & taken to refineries is somehow going to use less fossil fuels and will hurt the environment less than drilling and using our own resources?!

The fact that Russia financed the environmental scammers that pushed this crap and got idiots like Biden and / or his puppet masters to adopt failed nation-destroying green energy policies such as Biden has used to destroy our economy is just insult to injury.

Facts are stubborn things.

Russia has never been a large supplier like SA, Mexico, or now, Canada (who dwarfs them all)

Obama stopped importing the little amount of Crude oil we were importing from Ruissia. (But not the refined product)


Saudi Arabia hasn't been a big US supplier for about 15 years.. most US imports are from Canada, Venezuela and Mexico... until Trump's sanctions against Venezuela.. Russian imports took up the slack.

US oil is higher in cost.
 
Which is why I cited 2019! Care to try again?

We imported oil in 2019.

In 2019 we imported 9 million bpd. Don't you know by now that Trump is a pathological liar?

More costly - before Biden banned it - and more costly to the planet than buying it from our enemies, shipping it halfway around the world in a slow, diesel-guzzling, carbon-belching tanker, the potential for an Exon Valdez environmental accident, and then loading it onto diesel trucks, more costly than destroying our energy independence & the economy?
