US is and will hold the biggest oil reserves in the world, but hush, hush, nobody is supposed to know this, I did my research already you should do yours, actually we dissected the peak oil and the 70s woos here in ATS many years ago.

The oil shortage thingy is a lie has been a lie since the 70s, yep when US dumped their gold for oil.

Is one thing about history, everybody wants to hide it, shame it and changed, but the truth is there, just need to find it.

Every crisis in the world has its roots on human creation is all about money.

I wonder how many people have already lost their jobs, due to Joe Biden handing our Petroleum Energy Security over to OPEC and RUSSIA?

Biden is not going to be as good for oil/gas as Trump was...

But the referencing gas prices to a year ago is a bit loaded. Prices were shot from the OPEC fight and COVID.

What percentage of price increases do people seriously attribute to sitting president vs outside factors, I'm curious. Question open to any and everybody.

Trump had almost a full year during the height of COVID, gas prices were over a $1 less than current prices, yet you still think gas prices are high due to COVID? LOL

I'm not discounting that some of Trumps policies helped gas prices. He was certainly more friendly to that industry.

But using the absolute lowest gas prices compared to now is a disingenuous metric.

Most of the world went on some kind of lock down, and OPEC had a trade war both happening at the same time. Futures went negative and there weren't enough barges to hold the excess oil. There was a crisis for where to store the stuff, so naturally prices plunged.

Prices were low for the entire duration of Trumps presidency, try again.

And I acknowledged that some of that was likely do to his policy being more favorable.

My point was using the lowest price is disingenuous as there were more factors to the oil crash.

Granted, the world is complicated. Regarding these threads in political forums, perception of the voter is what matters at the ballot box. That is why I start them. To influence that perception with an injection of easy to understand truth(s).

Is not oil crisis, that is the point, is man made, created for profiteering on raping US tax payers to pay for green unsustainable ideas, around the world, no just US and benefiting China.

Can somebody remember Obama failed green energy?

a reply to: marg6043

I wasn't speaking under the context of green deals.

I was talking specifically about the OPEC+ trade war that started right around when covid did.

We can agree that Biden is not as friendly to fossil uels, but even if he was, there's no way we go to the low price in 2020.... Unless we take over Saudi Arabia, Russia, Venezuela and dictate their prices.... Or burn through what we have now, while telling domestic producers what they can sell it at (trivia fact, it costs them $30+ a barrel to pull it out of the ground).

Here's the problem, everything is deduced down to the two US parties in context.

_______ is orange man's fault.... _______ is dementia Joe's fault.

Do they play a small role in how certain aspects of the economy operate? Absolutely. Are they the end all be all? No, and they shouldn't be.

We have very real problems. But we're never going to get close to fixing them so long as people always deduce things down to what party wins. There's more to it than that. Hell, there's more countries involved often times, and having a "strong" leader doesn't mean we can make another country submit to our wishes.

Is it possible President Biden is hurting America and Americans intentionally?

Of course he is and yes it's intentional......all part of the plan and there's 3 more years to go and probably 4 more after that with whatever replacement they come up with.

Get used to it. It only gets worse from here.

If the Biden Administration continues, there will be an event...or series of events, that breaks the camel's back and pushes Americans over the edge.

You may well be quite correct. An energy, (natural gas and gasoline) shock might well do it and they seem to be orchestrating that. I am surprised by the result of the VA governors election. One thing that I've noticed is a fundamental difference between "Republican" and Democrat politicians. For the most part, Republicans tend to be people who know how things actually work. Democrats tend to be cluless academics. So for example, most Republican politicians in Congress understand that "plastics" come from oil whereas Democrats think plastics come from the "Plastic Tree"; or Republicans know that it's necessary to drill for natural gas, compress it, send it through processing plants and pipelines to the end consumer. Democrats like AOC think Natural gas comes out of the wall of her town house. Eventually this ignorance about "real" systems and how they work is going to be the downfall of many Democrat politicians.

That scare tactic has been used since the 70’s. We are running out of oil !!!! We have reached peak production. Only a fool would believe the oil producing countries that cry the oil is running out.
That will never happen in our lifetime or our children’s lifetime or their children’s lifetime. a reply to: chr0naut

But the process of conversion of biomass takes millennia. Yet you can burn it up in seconds.

The issue is, how much oil is in the reserves as yet untapped and unused? Until you can put actual volume estimates on it, the assertion that it won't run out is just opinion.

We do have oil fields that have been tapped out and are uneconomical to retrieve any more oil from. There are an estimated 27,000 decommissioned and abandoned well sites in the Gulf of Mexico alone. That is a clear indicator that crude oil is a finite resource and that we can deplete it, because we have real world examples of that.

Update 11.10.2021

The Administration is becoming bolder and more honest with America.

Their top people admit they want OIL AND GAS COMPANIES TO GO BROKE.

Joe Biden Marvels at $4.50 a Gallon Gas Prices: ‘Did You Ever Think You’d Be Paying this Much?

a reply to: xuenchen

Thank-you for bringing this important demonstration of how disconnected Joe Biden is from the average person with an average job. I'm going to place a link to that article in a couple more relevant threads. Thanks again!

a reply to: marg6043

Biden is a puppet of the 'corporate special interests that are breaking the back of the U.S. In the context of the topic, he is doing the bidding of the oil cartels and people who oppose domestic oil production for political reasons. So there is an unholy and unofficial alliance between those two crowds.

In foreign policy terms, the Biden admin's approach to energy production is gifting OPEC and Saudi Arabia leverage over the U.S. Also, economics is divorced from Biden's approach to the international scene. The absence of a free trade agreement accompanying the AUKUS proves that point. However, the creation of AUKUS displays a degree of foreign policy nous in the Biden Admin in response to China.

But domestic issues will make or break Biden's presidency, and his infrastructure package's outcomes will determine a large part of his legacy. But, overall, he resembles presidents Pierce and Buchanan, who as, hostages of the southern slave owners, failed to stop the slide towards the American Civil War.

Finally we get a solution !!!!!!!!


Democrat Rep Says We Don’t ‘Have to Reduce’ Gas Prices, We Can Lower Other Costs with Spending Bill

Chuck Todd asked, “Is there anything you think the administration or you in Congress should attempt to do to alleviate the gas price pain temporarily?”

“It isn’t really that you have to reduce the gas price, what you have to do is reduce the costs for families.” she began.

Reducing cost “doesn’t have to be through lowering gas prices,” she continued.

“That’s what I’m saying with Build Back Better,” Jayapal added. “If we lower costs, that’s what a family is looking at.”

Her constituents “are not talking about inflation, by the way,” she claims.

Another DISASTER is in the making, due to policies implemented by U.S. President Joe Biden. He has decided to hand over CONTROL of our Energy Security and Energy Supply to Russia and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, aka "OPEC".

President Trump eliminated U.S. reliance on foreign oil, by producing enough here at home to take care of America's needs. Here's an article describing the achievement of this historic milestone...

Eliminating the reliance on Middle East oil has been the dream of every U.S. Administration since the presidency of Jimmy Carter in 1977. Just 12 years ago, when Joe Biden became U.S. Vice-President, American refiners were routinely importing about 1 million barrels a day of crude from Saudi Arabia, the second-largest supplier to the U.S after Canada and seen as a major security risk.

Just three presidential terms later, that flow has fallen to zero. It is the most visual manifestation of how little America now relies on Middle East oil, after shaping its foreign policy for decades around its need for crude.

When the above article was published, the price for gasoline here in the Chicago area was $1.59 @ gallon. Inflation at the grocery and retail stores was only 1.25%.

-----------------

Just 3 weeks (yes WEEKS!) later, Joe Biden was sworn in as U.S. President. One of the first things he did was begin making America more reliant on other nations for our Petroleum supply...making America less secure, and increasing prices on everything that relies on petroleum.

Earlier this month, President Biden shrugged his shoulders when asked about increasing energy prices. He said they might keep increasing, because there's not much he can do, beyond asking Mideast OPEC to increase production, to help us out.

Source: www.foxbusiness.com...


Right now, the price for Gasoline here in the Chicago area is about $3.76 @ gallon. An increase from $1.59 to $3.76 in just the 10 months since Americans put Joe Biden in the White House. A 136% inflation rate!

To make matters worse, President Biden is right now at a "Climate Change Summit" in Scotland, where he will make promises to world leaders that will increase our energy prices even higher.

Is it possible President Biden is hurting America and Americans intentionally? He's been interacting with other countries in a myriad of ways for more than 45 years, in an official government capacity. He certainly isn't in a "learning" mode when it comes to foreign and energy policy.

President Biden has to know the actions he and his administration are taking, are damaging America, and his fellow Americans. But he just doesn't give a damn. It's all about exercising POWER.

2/2/2022 (Sh*t hit the fan day.)

President Biden bragged about lowering the price of gasoline 3 cents @ gallon near the end of 2021. Since then, it has gone up 12 cents @ gallon here in the Chicago area.

What the hell is wrong with Biden? After 47 years of top-level government experience, he still doesn't know how to do more than threaten gas stations?

grrrr
