What kind of sense does it make to buy oil from nations that hate us and shut down our own oil production?

[Leo123]

No, I just get oil royalties.

So you are all for higher gas prices, figures.

 

[Leo123]

Of course. It's a strategic resource we can never hope to supply for ourselves. For that reason we long ago sold our souls to OPEC and there is nothing we can do about it.

The 'climate change' 'green' crowd did that.

Most people are that are invested in it.

it just doesn't make sense to me

You're expecting politicians to make sense?

That's adorable.

What Is Holding Back U.S. Oil Production? - Forbes​

It’s higher than what Trump passed on. He fucked it up. Unemployment was sky high. Supply chain was fucked. Oil production was down. Trump fucked it all up. Why are you comparing to before he fucked it all up??

 

[Moonglow]

The oil industry buys the oil, not the govt.

The 'climate change' 'green' crowd did that.

Everyone did that. America has never taken any meaningful steps to get off foreign oil because no one wants to pay what it would cost. We're spoiled to the max.

Is this bizarro world?

 

[Dekster]

The cheap stuff is harder to process and pollutes more than our oil. Why would you rather suck on a dry, sour foreign tittie than have the great American cow Trump gave you?

Ya'll just don't make much sense sometimes.

Those sour foreign titties pave our highways

Yes we did, Trump made US a major exporter and gas prices were the lowest in decades. When we open the spigots OPEC lowers thier PPB. Getting off foreign oil is not the issue.

Please explain, those of you to whom it makes sense...

Stupid argument as always, that has no relationship with facts.

USA is being taken over by Marxist radicals. Biden is brain dead, Kamala never had a brain and neither one got elected legitimately. We are witnessing the take-down of America as these radicals, with the help of George Soros and rich liberal elities, infiltrate our institutions of power so they can 're-set' our society.

Prove they are Marxist radicals?

Biden Administration Is ‘Misusing Facts’ on Oil Permits, API Says

The head of the biggest U.S. oil lobby groups said the Biden administration is “misusing facts” when it claims the industry has more than 9,000 federal drilling permits on which it can drill to boost supply and ease soaring energy prices.

[Calypso Jones]

It doesn't make sense that Biden closed keystone and others and our price of gas is going up? He's begging off the saudis and buying from Russia. What the hell kinda sense Does THAT make. Maybe some of you ought to get your head out of the sand and look where we're headed.

Trump didn't do shit except be president during the most sudden drop in demand the petroleum industry ever experienced. Had they seen it coming production would have shut down around the world to avoid a glut and gas would not have ended up that cheap.
