Biden to announce ban on Russian oil

[beagle9]

Gas prices were shit before this Russia/ Ukraine invasion. So something else is a bigger cause.

It's finally time to realize that Trump was absolutely right when he warned us during the debates about Biden, and his band of imbecile's hired to screw everyone of us over including you.

They're fixing to find out just how much disposable income you have, and they are coming for it. Don't you just love how these elitist snob's are all over the TV cheering Biden on with their cult commentaries, and their ad's telling us how they are driving electric vehicles now, and that it's time to just make the switch (i.e. even while under extreme duress), and then them having the arrogance to come at the average working class from their positions of having huge wealth in their possession (not earned honestly in many cases), saying do this or do that or else, while most average working class American's would be getting hit big time again, even though they couldn't take the hit after coming off of COVID lock downs etc, etc, ????????

This world, and way worse this nation is screwed big time when it comes to finding a pulse for the good hard working citizen's today. We need a change before it's to late. Hopefully 2022 will bring some important change, but the way some of these rhino's have been kicking up dust, we might not get through this.

 

[beagle9]

At what point do the riots start?
$10/gal
$20?

I saw a poster laughing at this post, but I don't think that it will get near those amounts before people realize that they've been had or screwed big time. Sad thing is that most patriot's are peaceful citizen's, and that's the problem, they know it.

 

[beagle9]

Then congress is as fucked up as that senile basement dummy marionette,

That's why he's getting away with what he's getting away with right now, because our systems of check's and balances has been compromised by infiltrators that are working both sides.

 

[beagle9]

Someone please explain: we export 8.5 million bbl/day, but we import 7.5 million bbl/day. Why?

If we are going to export a net of 1 million bbl per day, then why do we bother importing any oil? Why not just export 1 million per day and not import any?

Someone please explain why we do this? It's like "hey, you pay me $25 per day but then I'll turn around and pay you $30 per day"

Why are we exporting oil if our prices are going through the roof ? You tell me that one, and we might both learn something. Oil shouldn't be leaving our soil until our prices stabilize. I know we may have had contract's, but this is an emergency or we are being lied to or we are being set up.

/-----/
Stopped one of the most evil empires in human history -- in which over 30 million humans were slaughtered by their own leader, in which no one had any rights and could be murdered, raped or tortured with impunity. (USSR)

Paid Europeans and Japan and Korea (even our former enemies) to rebuild themselves. The other great victor of WWII -- the USSR -- raped their former enemies and murdered their people.

Enforced the law of the seas and created (along with our British cousins) a system of legal shipping and trade that permitted the prosperity you have right now.

Protected half of humanity at our cost, allowing them to skimp on their defense budgets and spend that money at home on health care, education and infrastructure -- thus allowing them to swim in wealth and transparency on a level never before seen in human history.

Act as the primary (though not sole) engine of invention of the last 75 years, contributing more technology and wealth to the planet than any one, two or three nations currently in existence.

We're having this conversation on a series of technologies and programs that are so overwhelmingly American (with notable contributions from Europe) that it's almost disgusting in its disproportion.

Provide the most entertainment in the form of movies, TV and music comparable only to our cousins across the pond, the Brits. Go anywhere on this planet, and you're guaranteed to see an American musician, performer, TV show or movie.

All good, but I think he was talking about the most recent history where we've since lost what was left of our MORAL compass, but of course the waters are attempted to be muddied in an attempt to hide it all.

Biden announces ban on Russian oil imports, other energy products

He said Americans would deal "another powerful blow to Putin's war machine."

abcnews.go.com

Yup, we all knew it was coming. Someone needs to stop the 21st century Hitler, named Putin.

Putin is NOT Hitler. Has he gassed an entire "race" of people? Do you really think he's trying to conquer the world and apply the Democrat eugenics program to purify the world of the "human weeds"?

Sounds like common sense to me Beagle, which means current fumbling administration won’t consider it.

The Biden plan? Beg for oil. First begging Saudi Arabia to influence OPEC. Readers, keep in mind that Biden publicly declared the son to be a murderer of the journalist, who was in fact murdered. I guess ole Joe thinks that will slip his mind, but he only talks to the king who’s not really the head guy and supposedly nearing his deathbed. Since that’s not working, OPEC staying firm on output, Joe’s fumblers say, “Let’s make “friends” with Venezuela, you know, one of Putin’s main allies, they have oil! They’ll just forget all about that intervening in their election thing a few years back, plus we didn’t really mean it, errr… we now want your oil!” lol What a bunch of numbskulls the current staff and advisors. If Biden’s bumblers get Venezuela to sell us their oil, there’s a huge payoff that’ll happen behind the scenes. Americans will likely never know about the price tag of the bribe because it’ll be added to some other bill on some other issue, written in as pork.

Reportedly, there are allied nations that have offered their assistance to up US oil imports, Japan for one and several others. I need to look more into how much oil and crude oil these countries are offering.

Hope it doesn't cause Putin to invade Venezuela, otherwise because it would be an outlet for oil for us while our sanctions attempt to strangle Putin and the Russian people out. Hmmmm.

It is interesting that Venezuela refrained from voting instead of backing Russia. I don’t know enough about Russian/Venezuelan relations under Maduro, but he publicly slammed sanctions on Russia. Notably, the day after US officials flew down to meet with their Venezuelan counterparts, Venezuela officials met with Russian counterparts the next day. That would be a huge piece of information to compare the dialogue of those two meetings.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Hope it doesn't cause Putin to invade Venezuela,

Putin can barely make progress in a country on Russia's border.

Hold on. Youre complaining about the price of gas now because of Biden yet you wanted him to stop supplies before.
Thats a ridiculous position from you. You'll do and say anything to condemn Biden. Youre a dickhead

Jan. 20, 2021 DOI issues Secretarial Order No. 3395, announcing that the agency is temporarily suspending its authority to issue any onshore or offshore fossil fuel authorizations, including new lease sales, for 60 days.
Jan. 20, 2021 In Executive Order 13990, President Biden revokes the Trump Executive Order 13783 titled “Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth.” EO 13783 directed federal agencies to streamline the oil and gas leasing process and suspend, revise, or rescind regulations that burdened the development of domestic energy resources.
Jan. 27, 2021 President Biden signs Executive Order 14008, which pauses all new federal offshore and onshore oil and gas leasing pending a comprehensive review of the leasing and permitting program. The order also revokes Trump’s EO 13795.
March 15, 2021 The Biden administration asks the Ninth Circuit to dismiss the case reviewing President Obama’s withdrawing certain Arctic and Atlantic coastal areas from oil and gas leasing in light of President Biden revoking President Trump’s EO 13795 (the EO challenged in this case). The Biden administration asks the court to vacate the lower court ruling and remand with instructions to dismiss the case. League of Conservation Voters v. Trump, No. 19-35460 (9th Cir.).
March 24, 2021 Louisiana and twelve other states file a lawsuit challenging President Biden’s pause on new federal oil and gas lease sales arguing that the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) and the current 5-year Leasing Program prohibit the moratorium.

April 13, 2021 The Ninth Circuit dismisses the appeal of the March 29, 2019 decision by a federal judge to reinstate President Obama’s withdrawals of Arctic and Atlantic areas from oil and gas leasing because President Biden’s Executive Order 13990 revoking Trump’s EO 13795 rendered the appeal moot. League of Conservation Voters v. Trump, No. 19-35460 (9th Cir.).
June 15, 2021 A federal judge in the Western District of Louisiana issues a preliminary injunction blocking President Biden’s pause on oil and gas lease sales. The court holds that the leasing moratorium violates statutory authority given to DOI, the Bureau of Land Management, and BOEM under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act and the current 5-year leasing program. The judge further holds that the immediate impact of the pause renders the preliminary injunction an appropriate remedy and that the DOI may not continue to pause upcoming Lease Sales 257 or 258. Louisiana v. Biden, Docket No. 2:21-CV-00778 (W.D. La.).
Aug. 9, 2021 Plaintiff states file a motion asking the court to order Lease Sale 257 and asking the federal government to show why its failure to make the sale does not put it in contempt of the preliminary injunction. Louisiana v. Biden, Docket No. 2:21-CV-00778 (W.D. La.).
Aug. 16, 2021 The Biden administration appeals the preliminary injunction that blocked the moratorium on new federal oil and gas leasing. Louisiana v. Biden, Docket No. 2:21-CV-00778 (W.D. La.).
Aug. 24, 2021 DOI announces that it will continue to prepare lease sales during the appeal process.
Aug. 24, 2021 The Department of Justice (DOJ) files a memorandum in response to the plaintiff states’ August 9 motion. DOJ argues that DOI had restarted the leasing program and was therefore complying with the preliminary injunction. DOJ further argues that the preliminary injunction did not require the Lease Sale to occur on any timeline, and the government was therefore entitled to complete a new environmental review. Louisiana v. Biden, Docket No. 2:21-CV-00778 (W.D. La.).
Aug. 31, 2021 Environmental groups file a lawsuit challenging DOI’s decision to hold Lease Sale 257 in the Gulf of Mexico, seeking vacatur and injunction of the sale. The groups argue that the sale of Lease 257 violates the NEPA and the APA and estimate that the sale “will result in the production of up to 1.12 billion barrels and 4.4 trillion cubic feet of fossil fuels over the next 50 years.” Friends of the Earth, et al. v. Haaland, et al., Docket No. 1:21-cv-02317 (D.D.C.).
Sept. 17, 2021 Plaintiff states withdraw their motion to compel Lease Sale 257. Louisiana v. Biden, Docket No. 2:21-CV-00778 (W.D. La.).
Oct. 4, 2021 BOEM publishes a notice in the federal register that it will open and publicly announce bids received for oil and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico Outercontinental Gas Lease Sale 257 on Nov. 17, 2021.
Oct. 29, 2021 BOEM publishes a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for Lease Sale 258, which would offer leasing for oil and gas in Cook Inlet in the Gulf of Alaska. BOEM also announces a 45-day public comment period on the DEIS.
Nov. 17, 2021 BOEM holds its largest sale ever, the Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 257 for 308 tracts, covering 1.07 million acres of federal waters in the Gulf. In approving the sale, the DOI claimed it was acting “consistent with a U.S. District Court’s preliminary injunction.” However, environmental groups argue that this sale was not required by the June 15 preliminary injunction. These groups contend that by not conducting a new environmental review like the DOJ memo suggested was allowed, the federal government sped up the lease sale and worked against its decarbonization goals.
Nov. 26, 2021 DOI issues a report reviewing the federal oil and gas leasing process and making recommendations for reform. The report finds, among other things, that the current system does not give taxpayers fair returns and does not fully account for environmental harm, and that the current system encourages speculation by and decreases competition among oil companies. The report outlines recommendations to fix these problems and concludes that DOI is deciding how it will act on these recommendations and encourages Congress to pass reforms to the oil and gas leasing process.
Dec. 3, 2021 Democratic members of the House Committee on Natural Resources file an amicus brief in support of environmental groups challenging the Gulf of Mexico lease sale, arguing that the administration’s environmental review “substantially underestimates” the environmental harms of the lease sale. The brief also argues that the nationwide injunction issued by the District Court for the Western District of Louisiana “in no way excused” DOI’s obligations under NEPA and the APA. Friends of the Earth, et al., v. Haaland, et al., No. 21-cv-02317-RC (D.D.C.).
Jan. 19, 2022 Over 360 environmental groups sent a legal petition to the Biden administration to reduce oil and gas drilling to 98% lower than current levels by 2035. The petition explains that, without action, it will be difficult for the United States to keep its pledge to keep global temperatures from rising beyond 1.5℃.
Jan. 20, 2022 Over 80 environmental organizations sign and send a letter to the Biden administration, which urges the Department of the Interior to write a new 5-year Offshore Lease Program that bans lease sales starting in 2022. The letter also calls on Secretary Haaland to repudiate Lease Sale 257.
Jan. 27, 2022 The District Court for the District of Columbia blocks Lease Sale 257 in the Gulf of Mexico because the Department of the Interior failed to take a “hard look” at the environmental impact of the project or to account for the effect of overseas fossil fuel use when calculating climate impacts, which violated the National Environmental Policy Act. Friends of the Earth, et al., v. Haaland, et al., No. 21-cv-02317-RC (D.D.C.). For more background on the ruling, see EELP’s overview of the NEPA Review Process or visit our NEPA Tracker Page for the most up to date review requirements.
Feb. 1, 2022 The Department of the Interior mistakenly posted language on its oil and gas webpage that indicated royalty fees for leases would increase to 18.75%. The Department later removed the language, and a spokesperson for the Department said the decision to increase royalty rates was not yet final.

[scruffy]

Wow, threads like this are really eye opening. I didn't realize it was this bad. It's like <insert political party here> is the root of all evil, and <insert Biden or Trump here> is a jackass or even the devil himself.

As a libertarian (small l), I feel like a Chinese guy in prison, I get the protection of neither the Brothers nor the Aryans. lol

My initial reaction is "a pox on both their houses", I don't want any part of this partisan mess. I'm shocked, I'm alarmed, our country is in deep trouble if this combativeness and divisiveness continues.

It even extends right down to the sources, there are right wing sources and left wing sources and nothing in between. Righties use right wing sources, and lefties use left wing sources, and... well... my opening salvo here on this forum would be that our media is completely corrupt, they're totally falling down on the job, journalism is dead and buried (except in an obscure corner of YouTube), and in large part the media is a CAUSE of our partisan divide. They don't even call it news anymore, they call it infotainment. There is zero objectivity, on either "side".

As a general rule, I believe NOTHING I hear or see in the media. Someone tells me 11,000 Russian soldiers are dead, I go yeah sure. It's real interesting watching the politicians doing their dances when they know they're in front of the camera. The bit with Victoria Nuland and the bio-labs was interesting, she sounded very nervous indeed. (Did you know Victoria Nuland is married to Robert Kagan? Mr Neo-Con himself, one of the founders of the PNAC! Somehow it doesn't strike me as unusual that a Neo-Con and a Neo-Lib would get in bed together).

 

[Ame®icano]

Because they are two such completey different situations.

Russian pipeline funnels Russian oil to profit Russian companies, which, in turn, prop up the government of Russia.

Keystone XL was designed to move chinese/Canadian owned oil to the gulf of Mexico to be sold to countries not named the United States.

Always glad to clarify.

You can step outside the bubble and look this stuff up, you know.

So you were told, and you believe it.

Most of 8 mill barrels from Canada stays in the US, and that's max output. Expanding K-XL would increase output from Canada, so we wouldn't be stuck like we are now.

 

[Ame®icano]

I.E., every first world nation except for one. I.E., the vast majority of the world economy.

That's why Putin's little ass puckered up and he made a nuclear threat.

So maybe call Putin and downplay it to him.

Europe depends on energy from Russia, and it will be for quite some time.

Russia was under sanctions for most part of last 25 years. Those sanction were not effecting his energy exports at all. Even now, with increased sanctions, Europe is still buying from Russia. You think he's worried about being blocked from SWIFT? How do you think he's getting paid for energy he's selling to Europe now?

And explain why should I call Putin?

Showed how he fucked us........BOHICA........Then people like you say SUCK IT UP while pissing on us saying it's raining.

He attacked oil from DAY 1

 

[Stann]

Now when this happens, watch the republicans blame biden for higher gas prices

The whole situation shows how little a president has control over gas prices. Trump was lucky, when the pandemic hit nobody was doing anything and gas prices basically collapsed. Now the economy was just starting to take off again with the pandemic about over ( hopefully ) but now Putin is threatening world stability by starting this world and he keeps raising the stakes. This could be the end and we just don't know it yet.

Under Trump we had 4 more million barrels a day peaking in 2019. He got rid of the regulations and ditched OBAMA'S fracking ban.

Oil was roaring under the PLANNEDEMIC..........WHICH DESTROYED THE SMALL OIL COMPANIES..........IMAGINE THAT.

In your own words that you said, " 4million barrels of oil a day peaking in 2019. " Yes, we are on the down side of production in the U.S., if we continued to over drill all those strategic resources would be gone long before the 2040 date when the world runs out of oil. We need to save some for future generations. Besides most everything that could be tracked already has been. We getting down to the really filthy tar sands and even processing them creates toxic enviorments, processing them creates widespread dead zones. This is why although Canada has those tar sands they will not process them up there because it's illegal and the only logical place to process them there was a Pacific Northwest and they have a pristine environment they want to keep it that way so they absolutely refused oil pipeline in their direction. The keystone Pipeline if allowed to continue would have further damage the entire Gulf Coast.
