[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well….thanks Biden [/quote]

Trump's the one who made us more dependent on Russian oil, so don't know how you figure that one.

But now is the wrong time to go back to work in person. [/quote]

Wow the drugs you’re on must be good.

Trump didn’t shut down the pipeline [/quote]

The pipeline is irrelevant. It’s just a distribution project. It wouldn’t change the global supply of oil or gasoline prices in the U.S. [/quote]

It absolutely would, this shows your understanding of the energy market - or lack thereof really.

most people still rely on the local service station for fuel for their cars, and they rely on their local utility to power their homes and businesses. There are occasional exceptions, but generally when we need energy we can count on it. Fossil fuels, despite their negative environmental aspects, are reliable and available at large scale.

Keystone was an expansion of an existing pipeline. It was designed to bring more Canadian crude oil into the U.S., but would have also transported oil from the Bakken in Montana and North Dakota.

One of President Biden’s first actions in office was to revoke the permit for this pipeline. This is exactly the kind of action that makes it exceedingly difficult for energy companies to execute major projects that may take many years to complete.

California is an example of Biden’s policies in action or what he wants to institute.  California is one of the most progressive states in the country when it comes to renewable energy. At the same time, the state is not known as being particularly friendly toward development of fossil fuel infrastructure.

What has been the result? Despite California being the fastest-growing market for electric vehicles in the U.S., its oil consumption (pre-pandemic) is nearly as high as it has ever been, and it has steadily grown in recent years. Further, California's dependence on foreign oil imports has tripled in the past 20 years. California now relies on OPEC for more than half of its oil needs. This is in stark contrast to most U.S. states, which have seen crude oil imports plunge over the past decade until jsit recently under Biden.  It shows as well with gas peaking theee higher than anywhere else.

We don’t want to be like California- and if that’s what you want move there as there is room as ma y are leaving it because it’s turned into a toilet quite literally.
