One statement you made.. " have thousands of oil rig platforms that are idle."I don't think I ever "hated" any politician, much less Obama. I just am reporting the facts as was stated by Obama with regards to how he would/did handle the USA economy. All of the below statements/policies are 100% the opposite of Trump and frankly realistic people.We had 8 years of Obama hate from you lot...
Why the sudden change?
One simple comparison which I am 100% you won't understand but others will:
Which has more opportunity of greater damage to the environment? a 1 million barrel oil tanker traveling one mile on the open ocean OR
700 barrels of oil traveling one mile underground on dry land? To me and to others that should be obvious, i.e. one million barrels on the open
ocean vs 700 barrels on one mile of pipe buried underground. Which President understood that difference?
That is just one example. Another one quickly which is better keeping 500,000 people working for 1,400 companies or those companies going
bankrupt?View attachment 390901
I understand exactly what you are saying 100% but it’s very misleading.
Your comparisons between a tankers delivering oil vs oil pipeline. We can never eliminate oil tankers delivering oils all over the world. The main goal of Obama against oil pipeline are.
1. Save the environment for the future.
2. Why do we need more pipeline when we have oil surpluses, we have thousands of oil flatforms in the Gulf of Mexico that are sitting ( idle) useless?
Your list of Obama statements and action not promoting economic growth in US:
You purposely removed the link where these came from then you cut and pasted the information.
1. Coal industry. That is not exactly what Obama said. Coal industry is dying whether you or I like it or not. Replaces by reusable energies and cheap natural gas mostly extracted from Permian Basin in West Texas. Cheaper and cleaner to produce compared to coal. Trump lied to the coal industry that is why he lowered the emissions. High numbers of coal companies file bankruptcies from 2017 to 2020. Trump lied. Whole world is trying to get away from coal Trump tries to go backwards by lying.
2. Obama manufacturing jobs are not coming back. Number of 40,000 that came back claimed by Trump are mostly hyperbole. Most of these companies coming back has already planned to move bank even before 2015. Link below.
Trump products are made in China and Mexico. Did he bring the job back to US? Business owners like me makes decisions based from what is profitable and best for the company. It is not because of Trump.
Trump hypes jobs relocating back to the US. Are they?
3. Small businesses tax hikes? Obama
has created more businesses and unemployment better than Trump. Today Trump destroyed the country’s economy, health and democracy.
4. EPA burden regulations by Obama. That is totally false and misleading. What regulations that Obama has created that is burden to businesses? Like what? Trump EPA is about lowering the emissions for the coal industry. TO POLLUTE THE ATMOSPHERE. See my #1 above. In general Trump EPA program is easier to pollute the air and land. Reusable energy has created 3.3 millions jobs compared to dying coal industry. Link below.
Renewable Energy Job Boom Creates Economic Opportunity As Coal Industry Slumps
Renewable energy jobs are booming across the U.S. and are forecast to keep growing - especially in the heart of coal country - creating new economic opportunities for communities and high-wage jobs for workers facing the coal-to-clean transition.www.forbes.com
6. Keystone pipeline. Why do we even need it? We have massive oil surpluses, we have thousands of oil rig platforms that are idle. We have a massive job loses and bankruptcies in the oil industry because of cheap gas. Currently price per barrel is at below $50. We need to be at $150 per barrel in order for the Americans oil companies to be profitable. More than 200 North American oil and gas producers went bankrupt since 2015 owing $130 billions. Link below.
So what’s the point of these pipelines and more drillings?
Chesapeake joins more than 200 other bankrupt U.S. shale producers
More than 200 North American oil and gas producers, owing over $130 billion in debt, have filed for bankruptcy since the beginning of 2015, according to a May report from law firm Haynes & Boone. This year alone, at least 20 have gone under after oil prices plunged amid the Covid-19 pandemic.www.worldoil.com
With that one totally outrageous statement you've shown how everything else YOU wrote were GUESSES! NO links no substantiation!
FACTS are what I want and you seemingly can't provide them!
It took me less than 2 minutes from this link :Rig Count: Rotary Rig Count and Workover Rig Count to show how dumb you are!
Where are the "thousands of idle oil platforms?
Should I waste my time proving the rest of your comments are just guesses?
Also again your stupid personal, SUBJECTIVE comments with NO substantiation!U.S. Oil and Gas Pipeline Mileage | Bureau of Transportation Statistics
KEY: N = data do not exist; R = revised. a Excludes service pipeline. Data are not adjusted to common diameter equivalent. Mileage as of the end of each year. b Before 1985, data include field line mileage.www.bts.gov
Finally there are so many dumb ass comments! Research this!

I don’t guess, lie or bullshit in any in any of my post. I only post exact facts and reality. And I KNOW what I’m talking about. Try to remember that.
Trump Administration Offers 77 Million Acres in Gulf of Mexico to Oil Industry
Center for Biological Diversity: Today's Auction of All Available Federal Waters in Gulf Is Biggest in U.S. History
www.biologicaldiversity.org
Oil companies have drilled more than 52,000 wells in the Gulf of Mexico and installed more than 7,000 platforms, many of which are inactive and still littering the Gulf. A recent New York Times investigationfound dangerous conditions on Gulf platforms and taxpayers being left to cover the costs of cleanups and decommissioning of old drilling infrastructure.
Decommissioning Oil & Gas in the Gulf of Mexico - Offshore Technology
The oil and gas decommissioning market in the US Gulf of Mexico (GoM) has always been healthy due to the rising number of ageing rigs. However, low oil prices could accelerate that growth, prompting a boom in decommissioning activity in coming years.
www.offshore-technology.com
Kaiser's report states that more than 4,500 structures have been decommissioned in water depths of less than 400ft, compared with just 12 carried out in deeper water.
