The US's dependence on oil is counterintuitive.

[BlindBoo]

OP, and your Cult, wants them all gone.

Which cult? Why can't we support both. Are they going to kick me out?

Global oil production has reached record levels, with world output estimated at roughly 106 million barrels per day in 2025.

So much for the oil peak theory.

"2025 has been a challenging year for renewables. The new tax law, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, rolled back many clean energy tax credits and imposed new restrictions, pressuring early-stage wind and solar pipelines. Wind and solar investments in the first half of 2025 fell 18%, to nearly US$35 billion (prior to the enactment of this act), compared to the same period in 2024.<a href="2026 Renewable Energy Industry Outlook">1</a>

Still, renewables dominated US capacity growth, accounting for 93% of additions (30.2 gigawatts) through September 2025, with solar and storage making up 83%.

Which cult?

Yours.

Ya know, the one that wants to get rid of oil.

May as well laugh.

You mean like Good Old Joe did? His so called war on oil, that led to record oil production in the US?

You guys are a hoot.

Of course it all started with Obama, over as decade ago.

Oil Is Back!​

A Global Warming President Presides Over a Drill-Baby-Drill America​

By Michael Klare
Considering all the talk about global warming, peak oil, carbon divestment, and renewable energy, you’d think that oil consumption in the United States would be on a downward path. By now, we should certainly be witnessing real progress toward a post-petroleum economy. As it happens, the opposite is occurring. U.S. oil consumption is on an upward trajectory, climbing by 400,000 barrels per day in 2013 alone — and, if current trends persist, it should rise again both this year and next.

Tater lied. Shocker.

And there was ZERO barrels of oil produced on any lease approved by Tater. Oil production increased on private land, and existing government leases.

Ah, another believer!

"The claim that zero oil has been produced on leases approved by the Biden administration is largely inaccurate based on industry data. While the administration has slowed new leasing, it has approved thousands of permits and overseen rising oil production on federal lands, including major projects like the Willow project in Alaska."

The claim likely stems from the time lag between a new lease approval, seismic surveys, test well drilling, and finally actual production wells, which takes years."

Post the data.

 

[BlindBoo]

Post the data.

You first. I was addressing the false claim that Biden's policies reduced US oil production.

That was easy.

This clown never can back up his claims.

 

[ColonelAngus]

How is Obama going to fly on a private jet without oil?

 

[BlindBoo]

That was easy.

This clown never can back up his claims.

I already posted my proof that the US oil production did not fall under Biden. You made a claim that you didn't back up. But that is SOP for you.

More lies by the serial liar.

What else ya got, liar?

 

[Nostra]

Same way he buys multiple beach front mansions that he claims will be under water soon.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Same way he buys multiple beach front mansions that he claims will be under water soon.

So he is spending tens of millions of dollars on property that will soon be underwater because of MY DEODORANT SPRAY?

HOLY CRAP!

 

[BlindBoo]

I never said you did. But you did make a claim that you did not back up with any data. That's okay. It's what I've come to expect from the MAGANUT Right.

 

[ThisIsMe]

So on top of subsidizing their legacy energy businesses we should subsidize their shift to alternative energy? Doesn't that fly in the face of conservative, free market orthodoxy?
Personally, I think it makes sense for the government to speed the shift to renewables. But R's say it's "picking winners and losers."

Renewables are still a LONG way off. We would need to find a way to increase their efficiency by 20x before it becomes viable.

It would take about 1200 wind turbines to generate the same electricity that a single nuclear power plant could make. That would take up to 80 square miles of land

There is no data on oil production on Tater approved leases during his term because there isn't any, Stupid.

Now, about your claim...........

 

[ThisIsMe]

Lefties, cease using all oil derived products. Dont be hypocritical.

View attachment 1229309

Just about everything has petroleum in it.

That Tesla that people are driving, everything inside it is made with petroleum products and the electricity used to generate the power to charge it

All this goes away to:

Only thing I can see that we don’t need is cancer drugs since Tater cured cancer.
