Hoodwink: AP Hypes Biden Sounding ‘Alarm’ on Rising Energy Prices, Ignores His Anti-Oil Policies

[Harpy Eagle]

The US has NEVER been energy independent. That's just another Trump lie. We import about 7.5 million barrels per day from Canada, Mexico and Russia.. with small amounts from OPEC. During 2020 we only imported 5 million bpd because of the pandemic shutdown.

It is not a Trump lie, it is a fairy tale that has been around longer than Trump.

That's a big lie. That pipeline is toast, a casualty of Xiden's war on energy. They need to make an environmental impact assessment, which should take years, for legitimacy. It will be done shortly, just an excuse to close the pipeline.

Thank you Chicken Little.

"Jean-Pierre said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is preparing an environmental impact statement on the construction of a Line 5 replacement. She said the administration has not made a decision on the existing pipeline, which Gov. Gretchen Whitmer wants to shut down."

White House confirms it is reviewing impact of a Line 5 replacement

Biden administration says it has made no decision on the oil pipeline's future.

You don't know anything about the oil business.. Stop guessing.

Biden has NOT rewarded Russia or OPEC.

please post your resume on the topic.

 

[surada]

please post your resume on the topic.

Zaki Yamani was oil minister and a friend of the family and a guest in our home during the founding of OPEC.. so I do know a little about it. Many US presidents have asked OPEC to pump more oil or raise the ppb to prevent US domestic production from going under.

Nordstream 2 is a cheap, steady supply of natural gas to our European allies . The gas comes from Russia and the Stans. There is no reason other than spite to force the Europeans to pay twice as much AND have to invest billions in infrastructure .. Nobody gives a shit about Putin.. The decision was to help our European friends.

David Asman:
Encourage production of dirty OPEC and Russian fuel and gas production, while shutting down cleaner US fossil fuel projects and jobs. Makes no sense for American jobs and industry, makes no sense ecologically, and makes no sense for our national security.

@@@@@@@@@@@

That makes so much sense how could biden not understand it?

No baby----fuel/oil is not all equal. We both import and export------ Under trump we netted export fuel.

U.S. energy imports and exports since 1950.

Yes we were a net exporter of fuel, and we still were not "energy independent"

Banking. BANKING.

Has anybody thought of how the democrats policies are drying up cheap lending to oil companies??

Banking is the easiest way to control oil, and drive up the price.

It is the lending!!!!

Hoodwink: AP Hypes Biden Sounding ‘Alarm’ on Rising Energy Prices, Ignores Anti-Oil Policies

The Associated Press (AP) found a way to make President Joe Biden look like an American prophet warning about rising energy prices, without mentioning how his anti-oil agenda is contributing to the growing crisis.

The Associated Press (AP) found a way to make President Joe Biden look like an American prophet warning about rising energy prices, without mentioning how his anti-oil agenda is contributing to the growing crisis.
AP ran a puff story headlined, “Biden administration sounds alarm on rising energy prices.” The lede paragraph was just as ridiculous: “President Joe Biden’s administration is raising alarms at home and abroad about rising energy prices slowing the nation’s recovery from the pandemic-induced recession.” GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis Patrick De Haan argued in April that Biden’s energy plan was contributing to rising gas prices. In addition, Bloomberg News reported in July that Biden was “preparing to release a blueprint for limiting sales of U.S. drilling rights that falls short of the outright ban sought by some environmentalists.” The move came “as rising oil and gasoline prices highlight the risks of curtailing domestic crude production,” according to Bloomberg News. World Oil republished the Bloomberg story under the headline: “Biden continues his anti-U.S. oil and gas push while crude demand rises.”
The AP report has since been stealth-edited to reflect a less pro-Biden headline: “Biden team is seeking ways to address rising energy prices.” The lede paragraph has been changed as well.
Guess what: AP’s report didn’t mention the damning context while propping up Biden’s alleged concern about rising gas prices. The outlet even had the audacity to hype up Biden’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan looking to the “international oil cartel” Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) “to move faster to restore global supply of petroleum to pre-pandemic levels.” AP, of course, didn’t mention Biden’s actions killing U.S. energy independence such as nuking the Keystone XL Pipeline and halting fossil fuel leasing on federal lands.

​

But AP only seemed concerned with protecting Biden’s nonexistent image as a defender of U.S. energy interests. The outlet also recently ran one of its phony fact-checks headlined: “AP FACT CHECK: House GOP falsely blames Biden for gas prices.”

Comment:
Essentially, Joey Xi Bai Dung has proven that the “Drill, baby, drill” theory as implemented by Trump, actually works. And now that Biden has shut everything down, he’s compassionately warning us about rising gas prices.
What is it with Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA-CPUSA Democrats? All of them are screw ups yet masters at blaming others for their incompetence or criminality.
This is akin to, “Ted Bundy raising an alarm about recent attacks on young women.”

So AP publishes the facts and the Trump Cult goes batshit crazy because their lies about Biden are exposed.

The graph you linked to only goes to 2016 when production first exceeded consumption. Trump didn’t take office until AFTER the USA achieved energy independence. Thank you President Obama and VP Biden.

So AP publishes the facts and the Trump Cult goes batshit crazy because their lies about Biden are exposed.

What facts? Their justification is based upon a lie.
Why is it the PM/DSA Dem Commies selectively forget the facts that Biden began his destruction of the Petroleum industry on January 21st, 2021, using executive orders to cancel the Keystone pipeline construction, and rescind gas and oil leases including stopping the construction of the border wall.

Biden suspends oil and gas leasing in slew of executive actions on climate change

Biden's orders will halt oil and natural gas leases on public lands and waters in an effort to curb planet-warming carbon emissions.

Biden blocks drilling in ANWR, among his first acts as president

The decision came one day after the Trump administration issued oil and gas leases on the coastal plain of Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Thanks to the pandemic, US and world oil production had been cut 6 months prior to those EO's. Active rigs reached the lowest level since they began recording the numbers 6 month prior to those EO's.

Keystone has nothing to do with production.

A conservative judge has now suspended lease sales. He blocked a huge lease sale in the Gulf. But the real story there is the new regulations the industry hopes to avoid in the future btw....
