    How dumb do you have to be to go from energy independent to relying on Arab countries and organizations (OPEC) to import oil. It's rather mindboggling someone would think this is a good idea from a supply side and from a foreign relations stand point.

    The context is quite clear and she is totally dismissive of them hiding behind the laughter and YES there are LOTS of things this administration could be doing and she only proved she is TOTALLY unqualified for the job.

    Are you denying this administration is engaged in a war of fossil fuels and has since day one been engaged in policies to cut fossil fuel production here?

    So, again, what policies being used now that were smart and effective during the last administration that affects our dependence on OPEC. Would you deny that fossil fuel corporations are in a war against the planet just for profit?

    The millionaire Bidenista who once sat on the board of an electric vehicle manufacturer doesn't care.

    "That is hilarious!"

    And look at the expression on Tom Keene's face.

    Yeah...That's "Hilarious"...

    With that pathetic bow-tie and ridiculous glasses, he is just a fake mustache away from being Groucho Marx...

    Hard to imagine that Keene even expects to be taken seriously.

    I asked are you denying this administration is engaged in a war of fossil fuels and has since day one been engaged in policies to cut fossil fuel production here? Are you asserting the Biden administration is taking every effort to increase our supply and lower the price?

    The acts have been noted by others here no need for me to repeat them, refute them I'll be reading.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/27/biden-suspends-oil-and-gas-drilling-in-series-of.html

    Here's what policies he literally changed the first day in office that lead to us relying on Opec and foreign oil. The lunacy that anyone would think this would slow demand is quite amazing. The lunacy thinking this helps Americans to go from Oil independent to oil dependent on Arab countries is mind blowing. Do these lefty leaders care about Americans, why help OPEC and the Arab countries? We have ample supply and are way more climate friendly in drilling than any of those countries. Are they in a different climate in lefties minds?

    Biden and those running his administration are either morons or trying to hurt America. While they beg OPEC to lower prices, we are literally cutting our production. Brilliant!!!!

    Last I checked. We produce our own ****ing oil And are oil independent. And for the love of god why are we not pressuring OURSELVES to make more gd oil?

    OPEC shouldn't even be a consideration.

    oh. oh ya.


    Biden.

    Ya Trump would not stand for our oil companies getting greeding and chopping production. He would have demanded they get oil to a more consumer reasonable price.

    And you voted for her boss...so she could laugh at you.....

    Hard to imagine anyone takes your shallow ad hominem attack seriously.

    Why don't you tell us about the morning show you host on one of America's most-watched business networks.

    I won't be holding my breath...

    Stop trying to change the subject. She laughed (hysterically) when asked what Biden admin. will do to help regular people who are being hurt by this. Everyone saw this. Ridicule the person asking the question if that is your way, but you can't change the thing. She should lose her job.

    No self-respecting American would put up with that crap, which says something about the ones who do.

    I disagree with you. In an administration that has full Democrat control, she is vastly qualified to hold the job. The prerequisite is a desire to hurt the regular folk and she seems chalk full of that skill.

    Joel Kotkin, the author of The Coming of Neo-Feudalism: A Warning to the Global Middle Class, wrote about the people like her who gathered at the COP26 recently in Glasgow and yes, Jennifer Granholm was there (PS. that's not a typo in the title of the article):

    If you haven't read Kofkin's book, sec, I highly recommend it.
