Coulda Had a Pipeline

[Weatherman2020]

Overnight, the White House has been briefing on the energy shortages issue, with a "senior administration official" saying that President Biden is going to use his meetings at the G20 to ask oil and gas producers to raise output.


Trump purposely made America energy independent, one of the most important and common sense accomplishments I have witnessed of any president.

The fact that the Dems now vigorously attack and handcuff US producers, then go begging to international suppliers to make up the resulting shortage is utter insanity. To me, it is further clear proof that this climate fearmongering bullshit is ALL about crippling western economies and has nothing to do with real science.

I have never been able to figure this out. I've asked and asked with no reply. Trump said we were energy independent so how is not having a Canadian pipeline making so much difference?

If we were energy independent, why do we need Canadian oil?

How was Trump making the US energy independent when he was increasing the importation of Russian oil?

How much oil did the US import from Russia in 2020?


The United States imported an average of 538 thousand barrels of petroleum per day from Russia in 2020, up from 520 thousand barrels per day in the previous year.Jun 21, 2021

U.S. petroleum imports from Russia 2021 | Statista

The United States imported an average of 672,000 barrels of petroleum per day from Russia in 2021, up by over 24 percent from the previous year and the peak volume in the period of consideration.

They can't answer it because the echo chamber didn't tell them about that.

The oil is still being transported to another pipeline. The US has 200,000 miles of petroleum pipelines in the US. The oil from the tar sand in Alberta are an investment that China hoped would work out to their favor with stupid Trump admirers.

The energy shortage is due to capitalist not producing oil so they can make record profits, it has nothing to do with Biden.

So during the COVID lockdown, people stopped buying gasoline.

Oil companies cut back on production.

No that COVID is pretty much over, gasoline demand is increasing.

Oil companies are starting to ramp up oil production, but they're also holding back to keep prices high.

That's capitalism.

Hell name another country that intentionally screws itself over by shutting down it's own energy production? That's just f'ing retarded. AND then helps Russia complete it's oil pipeline and runs to OPEC and begs them to pump the oil production we shut down in our own country. Christ almighty can Dems get any dumber???

Why do we keep repeating this "energy independent" lie to describe the Trump years? It didn't happen.
Honestly, the United States hasn't been energy independent...in a LONG time.

They always do this during a recession when prices retreat.

You lie. I think we all understand why you are lying. But even if true it does not explain ASSHOLE Biden and Dem doing everything they can to cut back on our own energy production at home now does it. Way to care for the poor and middle class you assholes.

You can whine and spin your alt-right lies as many times as they can escape your lips. It doesn't change the fact the US was never energy independent.

But Texas’ crude oil production would cushion the effects of potential Iranian attacks on Mideast oil infrastructure.

The president doesn't control the means of production or the distribution of goods.

The thread is about a Canadian pipeline. If you want to condemn other actions, do so but this is about a Canadian pipeline. If we were energy independent and that is the goal why is a Canadian pipeline so important?

I dont know except that as long as canada remains our ally with a mutual border then the oil they produce is to our mutual benefit

The United States Was Energy Independent in 2019 for the First Time Since 1957

U.S. energy production in 2019 was higher than U.S. energy consumption for the first time in 62 years. Thus, the…

The last time oil was this high.........a Democrat was in the WH.

coincidence? I think not!!!

There current rig count is capped from the recession of the pandemic, it takes no new leases to uncap and pump out oil, plus you have refineries that were closed in 2020 that they are not reopening to run supplies low.
