Oil prices are set on a global market, and there’s little a president can do to significantly change them.

You can't build a refinery on Federal Lands unless the Government has control over it. No, the Feds may not own it but they WILL control it.
Will they? The government controls your house because it’s built on your government’s property. No, they will not be controlling the mining, production and distribution of the oil. Just leasing the land like they do now. Won’t be any different with refineries. Just making stuff up again.

There is a good set of reasons that the Refineries are all built on Private and Corporate lands.

Nice. But, we have a real leader with President Trump. There is no reason not to let private businesses build on Federal land without controlling the businesses. Typical politician not being able to understand and make business grow.

The major issue you all are missing is there is little if ANY investment capital now from banks, etc. to be used to build refineries.
AGAIN read what the CEO of a major refinery company Chevron!
As the Chevron CEO clearly states:
The CEO of Chevron, Mike Wirth's said..."You’re looking at committing capital 10 years out, that will need decades to offer a return for shareholders, in a policy environment where governments around the world are saying,‘We don’t want these products.’”
Further more the dumb Biden in telling us.."I guarantee We Are Going To Get Rid of Fossil Fuels” September 06, 2019, 5:49 PM

Has had the following effects!

Policies Affecting The Refining Industry

Policies hurting the refinery industry include Biden’s Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for fuel efficiency in vehicles, the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) created in 2005 requiring a certain amount of biofuels such as ethanol to replace petroleum-based fuels, and electric vehicle tax subsidies, to name a few.
Adhering to its RFS mandate, on June 3, Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued biofuel blending mandates for 2022 and the prior two years and denied oil refiners’ waivers to be exempt from the requirements. The EPA set biofuel blending mandates for 2022 at 20.63 billion gallons and retroactive volume mandates for 2021 at 18.84 billion gallons and for 2020 at 17.13 billion gallons. The volume mandates are supposed to be set ahead of each year, but were delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic that severely reduced U.S. energy demand.

Now I'm going to shout to those of you that still don't get it!!
Biden and the climatechangeevangelistas... guarantee to put fossil fuels, i.e. gas/diesel oil out of business.
Stupidly ignoring THESE additional FACTS which Biden "guarantee We Are Going To Get Rid of Fossil Fuels
In 2023, fossil fuels generated about 60% of the electricity in the United States:
  • Natural gas: The largest source of electricity from fossil fuels, generating about 43% of the country's electricity
  • Coal: The fourth-largest source of electricity from fossil fuels, generating about 16% of the country's electricity
  • Petroleum: Generated about 0.4% of the country's electricity
So not only destroying gas refineries, Biden guarantees to destroy :
In 2023, the United States generated 4.18 trillion kWh.
AGAIN FOLKS facts Biden guarantees to destroy 2,506,800,000,000 kWh of all the electricity used in a year in the USA!
Folks this is stupid! Thank goodness for "drill baby drill"!!!
 
The major issue you all are missing is there is little if ANY investment capital now from banks, etc. to be used to build refineries.
You are just repeating yourself to the point of no one caring what you have to say. The original OP was about building Refineries on Federal lands. Not going to happen. The paperwork output would far exceed any petroleum output.

And no one wants to live next to a refinery so they are self regulating.
 
Oil prices are set on a global market, and there’s little a president can do to significantly change them.
The U.S. is also already producing oil at peak levels.

Federal lands and waters contribute about 24% of the total oil produced in the United States.
Federal lands also contribute about 11% of the country's natural gas production.
The federal government owns 2.46 billion acres of mineral estate, which is more than 62% of the nation's total.
However, the majority of the country's oil and natural gas comes from private and state lands.


“No more drilling on federal lands, no more drilling including offshore—no ability for the oil industry to continue to drill—period,”
Biden said when he ran for office. And, Biden is implementing those words, which is increasing energy prices for Americans.

So Biden's"no more drilling on federal lands"statement was evident by the below.
Biden was ready to reduce 24% of the USA oil production. Remember that.... when you hear "drill baby drill"!!!

That's not quite true if the United States decided to open up and go balls to the wall with oil production it would definitely put a strain the market price globally. Frankly that's what we need to do.
 
That's not quite true. If the United States decided to open up and go balls to the wall with oil production it would have an effect on the global price for sure.
Oil producers will not do that. They want the price high, not low.
 
Except flood the market, re-engage Saudi Arabia and request that they release more.
Since that sentiment had become a standard talking point the United States has discovered enormous reserves they were previously unaware of. It would seem we have the largest reserve of any Nation on Earth which was something we previously did not know. Allowing it to be drilled up and refined would definitely have an impact on the global market. Even if Saudi Arabia didn't cooperate.

Impact indeed , destroy more environments. Just what the planet needs.

Everything we do to sustain our lives takes a toll on the environment. There is a trade-off between human thriving and worship of Gaia. I don't want to see pristine landscapes ruined by irresponsible mining or drilling but I also don't want to see the human race go back to the dark ages before the energy boom.

Remember the concept "supply vs demand"!
meme refers to the fundamental economic principle where the price of a good or service is determined by the interaction between the quantity available (supply) and the quantity consumers want to buy (demand).
So the oil companies LOVED it when Biden said this:
I guarantee We Are Going To Get Rid of Fossil Fuels” September 06, 2019, 5:49 PM

And so when he followed up with banning oil exploration on Federal lands that produced 25% of all oil and gas produced in the USA, that gave a tremendous boost to oil companies to raise prices dramatically.
Jun 7, 2022 — As of June 6, the national average cost for a gallon of gasolinewas $4.88, an increase of more than 100% from the week Joe Biden took office, when it was $2.39 per gallon.
This was music to the ears of oil companies who stated these quotes:
The CEO of Chevron, Mike Wirth's said..
"You’re looking at committing capital 10 years out, that will need decades to offer a return for shareholders, in a policy environment where governments around the world are saying, ‘We don’t want these products.’”
The CEO says the cost of capital to build new refineries costing more..(raising gas prices!)
Getting lenders to choke off money to fossil fuel companies is the next needed move for the industry to address the material risks that the coal, oil and gas industry faces,” says Leslie Samuelrich, president at investment advisory firm Green Century Capital Management.
So instead of "ridding fossil fuels".... Biden helped raise prices for gas, diesel, etc... an energy source that touches
ALL Americans directly and indirectly... i.e. how do goods get delivered to supermarkets, restaurants, stores, etc.?
In the U.S., over 70% of freight transportation relies on diesel-powered trucks, meaning that a significant portion of goods and services rely on diesel fuel for delivery.
Any wonder grocery prices increased???

" Disproportionately harm communities of color "....??? What a crock of shit .. you think Biden read any of that?
Not at all, but he allegedly signed it Day 1.
That was responsible for the highest fuel prices ever in America.

Drilling on public lands dropped like a stone when Obama was in office, but oil and gas production increased by 80% when Obama was in office, but the amount of land being leased on public lands has nothing whatsoever to do with the amount of energy production overall.

Your whole set of statistics is useless.



Oil companies prefer to drill on private lands because they don't have to pay for drilling rights on their own land. They have to pay a royalty in perpetuity on oil and gas found on public lands.
