Coulda Had a Pipeline

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

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???

Yes they can, and will.

 

[Mac-7]

That's very stupid. The reasoning behind the lockdowns was always sound.

No, that is stupid

The chinese disease isnt going away

It has already morphed into new strains and will be with us for a long time

Libs cannot possibly live in the basement long enough to avoid facing it

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

No, that is stupid

Hmm, no, more like you just don't have any idea what you are talking about. The reasoning behind lockdowns is sound and scientific. And ours were watered down by utter lack of leadership at every level. Caused, naturally, by having to pander to ignorant folks who say things like you are saying.

 

[surada]

Yes they can, and will.

There are number of posters here who understand the oil business and know about pipelines that have offered you accurate information.. Its a shame that your stupidity and ignorance is calcified.

Biden’s “no more fracking” campaign (more muted than Warren’s aggressive stance) falls short, and predicted by experts in the industry. Many companies quickly accrued permits predicting Biden’s move and over 1000 or so ready at hand to start drilling.

There will be no reduction and Biden‘s handler’s know that more restrictions will only lead to more imports. So no true global output reductions only a change of source. Smoke and mirrors yet again. Biden’s puppet masters do not count on us commoners to read the facts.

Whatever the facts are you are never going to be able to completely shut down the country. It's an impossibility.

Most US oil producers and most domestic wells produce less than 50 barrels a day so they cannot afford fracking or gas injection. We continue to import about 7 million bpd. That hasn't changed.

 

[Crepitus]

Enough with your stupid spin, Biden and Dems have fucked over our own energy production to appease tree hugging climate change assholes in the Dem party, period.

Care to explain how?

Okay, but that doesn't speak to anything I said, or even to what anyone has ever said. That's a non sequitur. Lockdowns are tools used to varying degrees for a specific purpose. The first lockdown was for the purpose of "flattening the curve", to buy time. And it was meant to end. Unfortunately, we are a country of intransigent, lazy-minded, selfish people, which is reflected in our leadership. So, our executive leadership had very little incentive to get the universal testing and tracing programs in place, while we were buying time. Ironically, it was the profit motive of Big Pharma that saved us from being even worse off. Since we are a stupid country that can't solve problems any other way anymore.

 

[westwall]

The pipeline that Biden shut down, if completed and running at peak capacity, would have only handled 2.5% of our oil needs.

Indeed. However it would also have saved millions of barrels of oil used to transport the oil that the pipeline would have carried at a fraction of the cost.

Over what timeframe, exactly? I mean, if you mean for the rest of eternity, why not just go with trillions?

Holy shit. You don't know anything about the oil business. Domestic producer are playing catch up after the collapse of demand in 2020.

When you finish screaming about tree huggers go back to screaming about communists and socialists. You are utterly blind to the fact that the oil business is a BUSINESS and they invest in production when the ppb is high, not when its low.

You didn't really say anything other than what I said other than try and pretend we would have shut things down differently if a Democrat was president. Remember you had Biden and Harris saying that they were not going to take any Trump vaccine.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Well that's very stupid. Global supply is at issue. And what you are suggesting is that Biden give handouts to the international companies pulling the oil out of US soil. Oil that doesn't belong to the US and that would still be sold to the highest bidder.

Bush wouldn't when it was near $150 so why would we now?

Keystone is an EXPORT pipeline that avoids taxes by taking advantage of the Free Trade zone on the Gulf Coast.. NONE of that refined oil would be sold in the US. Tar sands have to be diluted with lite crude to get it to flow thru the pipelines and that is another capital expense that doesn't benefit the US consumer.

I didn't say or imply that. That is you, creating low hanging fruit for yourself to argue against. The failure of leadership at the State level was displayed by Democrats as well. And we only have one president, and he was Republican. We can't be held hostage by your silly non-sequitur and not criticize the leadership, for fear of having also to support the contention that another party's guy would have done better. That's preemptive, self-soothing nonsense.

That's good for about a 2 weeks.

Right up to the top According to the Department of Energy, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve currently holds about 635 million barrels of oil. Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette announced on Twitter that the Reserve currently has an additional 77 million barrels of unused capacity.

Highest inventory - The SPR was filled to its then 727 million barrel authorized storage capacity on December 27, 2009; the inventory of 726.6 million barrels was the highest ever held in the SPR.

The United States became a net annual petroleum exporter in 2020​

In 2020, the United States exported about 8.51 MMb/d and imported about 7.86 MMb/d of petroleum1, making the United States a net annual petroleum exporter for the first time since at least 1949. Also in 2020, the United States produced2 about 18.40 million barrels per day (MMb/d) of petroleum, and consumed3 about 18.12 MMb/d. Even though in 2020, total U.S. annual petroleum production was greater than total petroleum consumption and exports were greater than imports, the United States still imported some crude oil and petroleum products from other countries to help to supply domestic demand for petroleum and to supply international markets.”

As long as oil imports come from our CA and Mexico the US should fare well long-term. US trade relations with Mexico and Canada are more important than many people realize just given the proximity. I support any measure that support this continuity of allies. The top five sources of U.S. total petroleum (including crude oil) imports by share of total petroleum imports in 2020 were

• Canada52%
• Mexico11%
• Russia7%
• Saudi Arabia7%
• Colombia4%

Why should he? And I a mind reader, or do I have access to information that you do not? Do you need an assistant, or maybe 24/7 in-home care? Make your own big boy points.
