Just curious as to who "we" is? O&G companies? I can kinda of see where they stand, to an extent. Why increase? And the pitfalls they could face with their shareholders.
It was never open. It was less than 10% completed when Biden shut it down. It would still be a few years out from operation as well.
We as in the United States. If the government focused on being self sufficient and completely independent of foreign oil, jobs would increase, production would increase and inherently, we would refine at a higher level. Being self sufficient and having policies that focus on being self sufficient is the key.
Yep. Shut down the exports if U.S. demand supposedly can't be met, pretty simple. America needs to eat first, with our own resources, and it hasn't been happening. I don't think most people realize the U.S. is the top producer of both petroleum and crude in the world. We produce about the same amount as Russia and Saudi Arabia combined, but export a shit ton of it. I guess I'm just a dumbass because I don't understand why we export so much and then turn around and import it from other countries. The majority (over 50%) of imported petroleum and crude come from Canada. Second is Mexico. Russia only supplied less than 8% of U.S. oil imports last year. They are merely a blip on the radar screen as far as the U.S. is concerned.
We can’t really force private companies to do that. They can choose where/what they do with oil.
Keystone XL has always been some weird talking point. Barely anything happened under the Trump admin. There are/were a ton of legitimate hurdles that kept it from being completed.
On Bidens first day he shut down the Keystone Pipeline. This administration is making it harder for production. They said it during the campaign and are doing it and it is killing the country. The admin policies are destroying our economy. Cant wait for the midterms so the R's can take over, bring these losers in front of committees and punish them.
Agreed. This BS by Biden and his idiots in the admin that this is the Putin price hike is just another lie they are telling people. Remember when Biden looked at that little girl, (at least he wasn't sniffing her hair), and said we will shut down fossil fuels in this country. Well, Trump was correct, 5, 6 or 7 dollar gas if Biden got into office. Trump was President during the pandemic and gas was 1.75 a gallon.
The Keystone XL pipeline project was terminated in June 2021 and will not proceed," TC Energy said in an email. "TC Energy has now disposed of almost all of its project-related assets in South Dakota," the Canadian company said in a new report that lists the steps it's taken to exit the state
You said the Keystone. That is still running. Regarding the XL, how much oil was it moving when Biden shut it down?
typical liberal. Using semantics. It was moving enough to have gas at 1.75/gal and not 5/gal.
I’m not sure what’s more embarrassing. The fact you think XL was moving crude or that you attribute $1.75 gas to Trump.
Well, Pelosi and Schumer sure did.

FYI, the policies of the administration directly impact the economy of the US. I don't care about the rest of the world, only the US. The market, inflation, gas prices, food prices, baby formula and the entire economy was doing great under Trump. Now, not so much. Enjoy the midterms.
Last I checked, the economy was a shit show in 2020 under Trump. Out of control spending, record job losses, huge jobless worker claims, and massive gdp contraction.
We were close to full employment in 2020 before the pandemic. Keep denying the facts, but the market was way up, gas was at 1.75 a gallon, inflation was the lowest in decades. But those darn mean tweets and now we have a. President with decreasing cognitive abilities and who is not even running the country.
So tell us who was President from 2016 until 2019 and then China and Fauci put a stop to it.
I’m not worried about the midterms. Neither party is worth much in my estimation. The Dems are owned by the Woke crowd and have no real policy. The Pubs want to legislate morality. Both spend to oblivion. I just call a spade a spade. It’s amusing to watch all the Trump Fan boys
Actually, I am a conservative. Not a Trump boy. It just makes me laugh at the alt progressive left who were mad at Trumps mean tweets and personality and voted for a grandpa with dementia and now, here we are.
I like conservatives. Trump wasn't my choice, but it is pretty obvious he was a better choice than Dementia Joe and the Hoe. I believe Valerie Jarrett is probably running the country with Obama behind the scenes.
A huge part of being a good president is being a good leader. Decorum. Trying to repress the country as well as the party. Trump went out of his way to be the most divisive president in history. It’s why Biden got 81MM votes. Trump was that hated.
Obama was the most divisive President in my lifetime. Biden didn't get 81mm votes. And Trump spoke the truth and he was right the majority of the time. The media spent 4 years hanging on every word he ever said and made it their mission to destroy him. Just look at what is going on right now. 18 months later and they still are trying to destroy a man that gave up his business to help this country.
i follow defiantL's on twitter, good stuff.
