The US's dependence on oil is counterintuitive.

Fatuousness like that can only be the result of legacy energy's anti green energy propaganda campaign.

No, you can't even begin to comprehend how toxic mining and extracting of rare earth minerals is and how it devastates the environment but yet the ignorant masses who have NO understanding push this. Its a level of stupidity and ignorance never seen.
 
Every country that draws from the bathtub suffers from price shocks, but the United States suffers more than its peers. The U.S. economy has a high oil intensity; it consumes a lot of oil to produce each dollar of its gross domestic product. America’s economy is more than 40 percent more oil-intensive than China’s, even though China is a net oil importer and sources much of its oil from Persian Gulf countries, including Iran. The European Union’s economy is half as oil-intensive as America’s. Even Russia, a petrostate, is about 20 percent less reliant on oil per unit of economic output than the United States is.

China is still a developing country in many ways. Developing countries tend to consume more oil than fully industrialized ones. But China also recognized its strategic vulnerability to oil shocks years ago and has been methodically decreasing it — not with warships but with electric vehicles and high-speed electric rail. Chinese gasoline consumption appears to have peaked in 2023, far earlier than analysts expected. According to an analysis by BloombergNEF, some two-thirds of electric vehicles sold worldwide are purchased in China, and within the next year, China’s E.V. sales are projected to exceed the entire U.S. car market.


The solution to this problem isn't more oil production. It's less oil consumption. Less oil consumption being the opposite of trump's goal. He of the "drill, baby, drill" camp.

Is it surprising he has positioned the US in exactly the wrong way? No. Because when it comes to strategery (thanks George) Don's tends to be impulsive, self-indulgent, ignorant, and non fact based. But he does know his bread has been buttered by legacy oil company donations. Remember his offer during the campaign?

Trump pressed oil executives to give $1 billion for his campaign, people in industry say​

Former President Donald Trump asked oil industry executives last month to donate $1 billion to aid his campaign to retake the White House, three people familiar with the conversation told POLITICO — a request that campaign finance experts said appeared troubling but is probably legal.

The request, first reported Thursday by The Washington Post, occurred during a meeting of industry executives at the former president’s home in Palm Beach, Florida.

The oil industry has a long list of policy actions it would want Trump to take, including dismantling parts of President Joe Biden’s green agenda and rolling back pollution regulations that threaten to crimp their profits. As POLITICO reported Wednesday, oil executives are also preparing some highly specific requests for Trump, including executive orders they hope he would sign if reelected.

So, your plan is to get rid of oil and pay higher energy prices for green energy?

Why can't we keep oil and increase our capacity of renewable soruces? Wait a minute. We already do.


Why is "Benedict the lunatic" trying to kneecap Texas, the undisputed leader in renewables?

Why is using oil a problem? Who came up with that stupid idea?

Very simple, those that believe that daft concept, just avoid everything oil related.

The huge portion of green energy costs more than dirty energy.

I've always wondered at how the right viciously hates Islam and the Middle East but are so adamant about demanding that the world keep flooding the Middle East with riches. And if you tell them you don't want the world to be so heavily reliant on the resources of wealthy religious zealots in the Middle East, they take personal offense at it.

Green is a lie.

Lithium mining is nasty business.

Battery disposal is nasty business.

Ever EV is a rolling toxic waste site. That’s the reason GelBoi kept residents out of Palisades. All the EVs that burned were toxic waste sites.


Windmills use oil, and are clogging landfills.


Scam.
 
And the price shocks here are gouging
The oil companies love it when war breaks out so they can raise their prices we don't get a drop of oil from iran
That's China's and yurps no problem..

Many tankers heading to Europe pass through the straits
 
Wrong, dumbass.
AI Overview
Electricity is expensive in the EU primarily due to high reliance on imported natural gas for power generation, which experienced severe price spikes.
No cherry-picking, this is the AI Overview:

There’s no tires, no tvs no phones not much of any products
 
We could have been building renewable energy for decades. But the cave dwelling climate deniers wanted to drill for more oil.
There is no such thing as re newable and nothingto replace oil
 
and insist they sell it to us here for $2.99 a gallon, no more.

I can’t see any pointy-headed government worker managing the oil industry by setting prices and production quotas

The private sector always makes better decisions
In war times the oil companies should sacrifice too. After all we are doing this more for them than us. You can't see a point? Sucker. Or Oil tycoon?
 
There’s no tires, no tvs no phones not much of any products

so away with petroleum and they do go away. Again, the cult of script determines that life should no longer have value. Ask your cult members!!!!

Yes.

Funny how Dimwingers want to live without all those things, huh?
