‘That Is Hilarious’: Energy Secretary Cackles When Asked About Rising Gasoline Prices

And yet the poorest in this country will suffer the most from people like this and their heartless DNC Overlords

 

It's not a question of how dumb but all to do with following blindly and being a true believers....


Look at the eyes, same empty eyes Joe-joe brain dead has

 

So are you saying if fossils were cheaper you'd be happier You think fossil fuel is expensive you just wait till alternative energy prices hit your mailbox

 

WRONG...
That "view" is taken completely out-of-context...

Oh well, since you (apparently) didn't read the entire thread, I will post this again...

1) It is clear that Granholm was NOT laughing at the high energy prices.

2) Granholm was laughing at the NOTION that anyone could be so simple-minded as to think that there was anything that she could (personally) do about it.
^And, anybody actually paying attention to the context of Granholm's reaction KNOWS that.

So, once again we have the EXPECTED:
A RW Propaganda "Outlet" taking things out of context to feed Anti-Biden Faux Outrage.

 

I guess whatever lie it takes for you to dismiss the real truth

 

This administration has done very little to cut fossil fuel production. Those executive orders did nothing to cut production, the oil companies themselves cut production. There are plenty of leases that are open to exploration but they aren't doing it. Why? Covid for one with the add on of labor shortage from it for another.
If there is a "war on fossil fuels", good. Those corporations don't give a hang about anything but profit and they are very aware that there is a finite supply of their product. You think things are bad now.......wait to they admit we are near the end of a supply. Oil is like were it comes from, almost extinct. Coal is just plain dirty.
Typical of the right. Keep doing what you've been doing and not seeing the big picture. Deny, Deny, Deny
Oh, and Bluesguy. You answered a question with a non related question.

 

Are you sure? I've been told, repeatedly, that Joe was going to be forced to resign in his first year in office.

Tick tock - he's got a few weeks left. No worries!

Lulz.

 

Since you seem to enjoy making up things that I said or think I just leave this one to you to answer also.

 

Pelosi Says Women Face Particular Dangers From Climate Change.

"Is there any bit of satire the Left won’t eventually embrace as a talking point?"

Caricatures.

She's Not Good For The Country.​

Time for change.

No.

 

They have done everything they could and the companies don't run ad hoc they look into the future before they invest more money. Because they know where it is and best areas to retrieve it.

Biden’s plan to cut U.S. oil production becomes clearer

WASHINGTON (Bloomberg) --Hours after taking office, President Joe Biden made good on a campaign promise to cancel the Keystone XL oil pipeline. Later that day his Interior Department mandated that only top agency leaders could approve new drilling permits over the next two months.

This week, according to people familiar with the plans, Biden will go even further: suspending the sale of oil and gas leases on federal land, where the U.S. gets 10% of its supplies.

The actions sent oil producers’ stocks tumbling and raised blood pressure across the industry.

“In the first couple of days of the new administration, they are taking actions that will harm the economy and cost Americans their jobs,” said Frank Macchiarola, a senior vice president of policy for the American Petroleum Institute. “We’re concerned, and everyone in the country should be concerned.”

The Interior Department’s order, signed late Wednesday, changes procedures for 60 days while the agency’s new leadership gets into place. It requires top brass to sign off on oil leases and permits as well as decisions about hiring, mining operations and environmental reviews.

The industry took it as a bad omen. Officials are worried that technical permitting decisions are being placed in the hands of political appointees, rather than expert regulators in the field. And they’re concerned permits -- or simply changes to them -- will be delayed for existing drilling operations.

Moreover, many interpreted it as a prelude to broader actions, including the administration’s plan to next week impose a moratorium on all oil, gas and coal leasing across some 700 million acres (2.8 million hectares) of federal land.

This “announcement is intended as a temporary ban on leasing and permitting but is also a precursor to a longer-term ban,” said Kathleen Sgamma, head of the Western Energy Alliance, which has threatened to go to court to battle any such blockade.

While Biden’s campaign promises - and his initial moves to fulfill them - are a threat to some U.S. oil producers, the actions could be a boon for crude prices by restraining supply.

The administration’s early moves mark a dramatic shift from the course under former President Donald Trump, who sought to accelerate drilling permits and open up more places to oil exploration.

Why is Biden asking Russia and OPEC to drill more when we were energy independent under Trump?

 

YES!

 

No. These people, these administration figures (including Nap Time Brandon and the Checkbox VP themselves) regularly brush off or outright mock tough questions who's answers require accepting the premise that they are in fact failing.

 

Oh? Ok...
Whatever, Bro'...
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree...

 

That statement does nothing to show that the leases that they aren't using don't have what they want.

So to "prove" your point, your source is "worldoil.com". That's like asking a tobacco company if smoking is harmful. In other words......you have proven nothing.

 

Lack of rebuttal to the stated facts noted.

Oil exploration companies get leases, they explore. Some are productive some are not, they still hold the leases either way.

 

Wrong. As a native Detroiter, I was here during granholms 8 year cluster f@#$ where she single handedly destroyed Michigan economy. Seen her mugging for the cameras hundreds of times. Like Kommie Harris’s cackle laugh it was a caught me red handed and I don’t have a good answer for you laugh. A nervous reaction to a question she dosent like. The laugh gives her a couple seconds to think up a proper lib response.
She is the energy secretary. She should have a plan about what to do about energy costs. What’s she gonna do this winter when Americans in Detroit, flint, Chicago, Cleveland, Saginaw, Toledo and Milwaukee freeze to death because they can’t afford the high costs of their heating fuel? Is she just gonna cackle at them to?
I’ve seen this movie for eight years in Michigan and it took the next eight years to straighten out her mess.

PS: just a side note. Her new face looks horrible

 

When you have given facts that I disagree with I will give a rebuttal to them but your article was lacking facts.

 

How does this Woman continue to get elected and appointed to stuff, Jesus! she's an utter FAILURE! in everything she touches.
https://www.michigancapitolconfidential.com/20563

 

You were given an informative fact based cite. Lack of rebuttal noted.

 

Well, that's the problem. You gave a cite that is biased and self serving and it's "facts" reflect that. Biden closed out federal lands......so what, they were only opened 5 yrs. ago. They didn't do much of anything on them but look for what MIGHT be there.

 

Despite her Kamala-like "I'm Horny" giggle when she can come up with no other response, she may be even more corrupt:

CULTURE OF CORRUPTION: Energy Secretary Granholm Violates Ethics Pledge To Boost Proterra.

“Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm committed a “flagrant” violation of ethics rules by using her official position to promote products of her former employer, electric bus manufacturer Proterra. Government watchdog Protect the Public’s Trust notified the Department of Energy’s inspector general on Friday of its concerns regarding a Nov. 1 event in which Granholm appeared at an official administration event with Proterra buses prominently displayed behind her. Granholm’s participation in the event, where more than $100 million worth of government grants were announced to support electric vehicle manufacturers, was a ‘conscious, flagrant affront to her ethics obligations.’ ”

And that's what all this spending is about, grift and graft.

 

Ooo, all caps. Must be a serious response then!

So you're okay with inane cackling laughter, shrugging off a question as hilarious when it did indeed merit an actual answer, and essentially laughing off the future pain this is gonna cause like a modern-day Marie Antoinette. Okay, I get it, those are your expectations.

I guess the rest of us would have been happier with some hi-lev government official acting like an adult and saying something like - "You know, while I don't have a magic wand that can immediately decrease gas prices overnight, what we can do is propose removing most federal taxes places ON gasoline, reverse our decisions to blocking U.S. pipelines, abandoning drilling projects and banning oil and gas leases on federal lands, policies that we now realize have created an air of uncertainty in the fossil fuel industry. Granted we don't like President Trump here, but we are forced to admit that the American fracking industry was working to foster energy independence and it helped keep prices low. We here in the Biden Administration are now rethinking our policy decisions to empower OPEC at the cost of our own energy independence by pandering to the Radical Environmentalists. While these solutions will not lessen prices overnight, at least the idea that the Biden Administration is now taking this seriously should at least have an immediate effect on the markets where you will see some price reductions immediately, with further long-term price reductions down the line as these policies become implemented. Thank you.”

I guess expecting an Energy Secretary to actually have a plan to deal with energy issues is a bit too much to expect from a Dem, eh?

 

Maybe she got a two-fer Botox discount along with Pelosi - possibly a three-way with AOC?

I have in-laws in Michigan who will be coming out here come Christmas - something I found out when they called my wife last week. Beyond my having to start getting ready for the visit when I'd rather be relaxing during Christmas Break, it reminded me that they have in the past mentioned this lady - a LOT. They're centrists but hate her with a passion. My impression is that she was Michigan's answer to Kammalla Harris. I suppose it's no coincidence that they'd both end up in the Bid-Wetter administration.

The one thing I definitely remember them saying is that the only thing driving the Michigan economy during her tenure was her paying off people to pretend to like her.

 

Gas price relief on the horizon as global oil supply picks up, says IEA

By Walé Azeez, CNN Business

London (CNN Business)A rise in global crude oil supply could put the brakes on surging gasoline prices that have hit record levels in parts of the United States and Europe.

According to the International Energy Agency's latest market report, global oil supplies jumped by 1.4 million barrels per day in October, with the United States accounting for half that increase as Gulf of Mexico output recovered from the damage caused by Hurricane Ida in August.

The Paris-based agency said it expected a further boost of 1.5 million barrels per day over November and December, with the United States forecast to provide more of that increase than any other country.
