    Totally contrived bullcrap. I do not know how old you are but based on the predictions of the liars promoting this fraud we all should have died 30 years ago.

    Not getting tired that everything they say and predict is about as reliable as the Jehovah's witnesses who predicted Jesus would come back in 1977?

    That’s just it. To biDen it is better to buy from foreigners who hate us and charge too dollar for it than for the wrong Americans to be employed and the wrong states getting any economic benefit. Biden hates other Americans far more than any dislike he might have for China, Iran, Russia, Venezuela. To him their dirty oil is better than our cleaner product because to him heartland Americans are enemy #1

    Problem: energy use effects the climate in ways we don't fully understand.

    Proposed solution: extract all of our energy directly from the climate.

    Brought to you by the department of filling the deep end of the pool with water from the shallow end.

    In all seriousness, not having energy is an apocalyptic problem. Unless we want to go back to a time when the climate was nice and 90% of the population of Earth was barely scratching enough food out of the ground to survive, we need to continue to use all of our energy sources wisely.

    That is a good point. The problem is that we're nowhere near being able to transition to green fuel, if we continue with our profligage movement. The only way to save the joint is to stop moving. Or at least reduce our movement by about 80%.

    As over-the-top as this reads, I suspect there's some truth in it.

    And they say Putz is crazy.

    It’s over the top in response to a President who is on these issues.

    But of course. It cannot be the Left, because the Left is all goodness. Just as the WEF.

    It is not. While all these gloom and doom liars have been pushing this fraud the world has become better fed and more affluent.

    Drilling more to solve the US addiction to fossil fuels is like a drug addict trying to solve his crack problem by buying more crack.

    Well, we certainly have to keep drilling for Natural Gas, and the above-average people know the why’s.

    easy, there is tweets for that

    Trump wanted prices higher, now we got it, thanks Trump, he was right, this is GREAT for the oil and gas industry, course it SUCKS for consumers

    Trump lowered supply during Covid, now that demand is picking up, supply is not there

    Trump tried to keep the price of oil per barrel below $55.......Because the once proud Free Marketers/Non-interventionalists have endorsed populism.

    Psst; Recently retired from the Oil and Gas Industry, 1982 to 2020.

    Trump wanting higher oil prices .. and trying to raise them .. two different things ... so that was a fail .. as is your point.

    Oil prices has dropped to near zero .. which is a very bad thing ... not wanting our oil industry to die .. also a good thing.

    Your talking nonsense about things you don't understand.

    $45 to $55 for a barrel of oil isn’t a great price for the Non-integrated players.

    In fact, my former Employer’s Drilling and Servicing Sector LOST money from 2015 to 2020, and their refinement/retail sector barely kept our heads above water.
