To those of you who voted for Biden - congratulations ! You got what you voted for
This is rich with what happened today. If folks ever get their heads out of the sand there will be riots.
I can’t imagine the current government making too many smart decisions. But then the 10 or so haven’t either.
Stop pipeline approvals, cancel lease sales, campaign against the oil industry then ask for help.
Not very likely.
Getting help requires relationship building far in advance of the request for help.
Asking an industry to increase investment while plotting the end of same industry takes astronomical stupidity.
We'll refill the reserves once crude is 50 again.
Don't worry.
She can’t make up her mind. Stop drilling, stop exporting, but keep enough here for the Northeast. First thing she needs to do is learn how the oil business works from top to bottom. They want oil prices cheap, but they also want Europe to not hurt. They used up the strategic reserves as well. So how does all that demand get taken care of if they don’t promote drilling, leasing, and permitting. They just talk in circles to cover the topic of the day. I bet all those fleeing the hurricane in Florida were glad to be in a gas auto instead of an electric one stuck in traffic as their charging went down.
