Questioning Biden's energy policies ....

Could Biden's energy police be based on the fact that the oil production industry is mostly based in conservative or Republican states? Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Kansas, North Dakota? And by assaulting the oil/petro industry he can undermine those states' economies and shake up the voters there?

Going from being energy independent and a net exporter of nat gas and oil, to being foreign energy dependent and a net importer. That's not a policy...that's the first domino to taking down the economy.

@BizSuitStacy Wow, and you're accusing me of having a tantrum?

BizSuitStacy · M

@OggggO You catch on quick. 🙄

@BizSuitStacy Biden had been told by his cabal…on your knees, suck
off these parasites and try and get their oil because we don’t want you to let American oil companies prosper. We’re out to do as much damage as we can to this nation. Many are from the I love windmills and solar panels cabal!

@BlueVeins In the fact that you work hard and are successful.

@ron122 Depends what you're working hard at. If you're rakin' in fat stacks by designing & selling cool-looking houses, that's pretty based. If you're putting in 50 hours a week sending 419 emails, then that's kinda bad for society and you should stop.

@ron122 Nothing wrong with making a profit, so why are conservatives complaining about high gas prices and high food and heating prices? Those poor companies are just trying to make a huge profit by gouging, but hey, nothing wrong with making money is there?

I don't think so. I think his policies are looking to the future....which we should have been doing 20 years ago.

@OggggO The Republicans couldn't pass that bill on their own, so it was passed by both Republican and Democrats. And as such, broke the hold that Democrat thought they had on Hispanic Americans. Democrats didn't kill the bill when they had a chance, they wanted to drag Hispanics into a fight as if it was a fight between Republicans and Hispanics. The classic: Democrats wanted the issue, not a solution. But what it did was to begin the divorce between Hispanic groups and the Democrat party. The pushback by Hispanics was huge, this big:

But it wasn't a protest against Republicans like Democrats had planned, but a protest against Democrats and Republicans, except for Brownback.

OggggO · 36-40, M

@Heartlander Keep spinning.

Heartlander · 80-89, M

@OggggO Believe what you wish. But I was there.

The pushbacks crowds across America were far larger than what we saw with BLM. The news didn't sustain because Democrats had fallen into their own trap, and when that happens the media goes looking for other stories to report on.

When Democrats had the opportunity to kill the bill and work towards a solution they didn't. They believed the unresolved contentious issue better served their political agenda than a solution would. They wanted to keep the border issue, immigration related issues in limbo forever rather than serve the best interest of Hispanic and all Americans. Heck, some Democrats who voted for that bill confessed that it was their intention to get Hispanics to rise up against Republicans, and that they knew it wouldn't pass the Senate, and it if did, they would kill it when it came back to the house. They must not have thought the people were listening.

I question Comrad Biden's patriotism. He should be impeached for violating his oath of office. But then so should the rest of the democrats.

When did he assault the oil industry. In fact the oil industry is making record profits unseen before .

I doubt he thinks about vengeful things like that. That's more the Republican Way.

independentone · M

Oil leases are up 30% under Biden over Trump for 2021, the numbers for 2022 aren't in yet

@independentone This has nothing to do with Biden or Trump. This is corporate greed. Reminds me of when Colorado Western Slope oil shale was going to lower the price of oil during the Reagan era and the Saudis lowered the price so the Texans couldn't compete. Now it's the other way.

independentone · M

@soar2newhighs We have always bought oil from other countries.

independentone · M

@hunkalove Oh, I agree completely, Oil companies are gouging plain and simple. Same with food processors. Profiteering used to be illegal

soar2newhighs ·

As news reports state, the administration is considering importing oil from Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, possibly Iran as well.
One question: WHY?

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@soar2newhighs

wildbill83 · 41-45, M

it's demographics pure and simple.

Democrats can't stand the idea of red states having all the resources & power, they'd rather destroy the entire country instead.

Could be, but he wasn't elected to, nor has he ever really been a fan of deconstructing the American State or wrecking it, even, despite the pathetic accuse the other guy of what your guy is doing stuff that is so popular in some circles.

Now, it was Bernie, maybe, or AOC, or maybe even a shrewder Democrat like Pelosi, it seems a little more plausible, but still not too well thought out.

Bottom line is, hurting folks, even rich elites still doesnt sell well with most Democrats, imo. And if Democrats got wind of it, they'd leak it and rip it apart.

Beyond that, why would Biden want to shake up voters as an incumbent in such a way?

Accusing him of propping up the economy by selling off oil reserves while secretly sabotaging red oil producing states even, seems more likely, and I'm not sure that one even really flies that well.

Zaphod42 · 51-55, M

In the 1990s the US military recognized that energy dependence and climate change are the biggest threats to national security. Switching us to renewable energy sources helps solve both of those threats.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@Zaphod42

soar2newhighs ·

@Zaphod42 The military/ industrial complex is not at the forefront of worrying about energy dependence and climate change.
You can’t run a military that is to be effective on windmills and solar panels.

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

Absolutely. There are open hostilities between the administration and these states, and it certainly behooves the Democrats and their strongholds on the coasts to weaken the economies of the red states.

independentone · M

@SumKindaMunster What economy is that? The coastal states support the red states

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@independentone As if the answer matters. You won't read it or respond anyway. 😂

independentone · M

NO, and for your information, California is the 4th largest oil producer in the nation.

Heartlander · 80-89, M

@independentone

Actually 6th:

Texas - 1,782,009.
North Dakota - 431,241.
New Mexico - 379,226.
Colorado - 165,093.
Alaska - 163,852.
California - 144,349.
Wyoming - 89,002.
Kansas - 37,907.

But 15.2% of the total production comes from the offshore Gulf platforms, and I would give Texas and Louisiana credit for that oil :)

I really don't think that's the reasoning.

I think it's an intensely stupid response to the climate change/global warming activists within his party who are so damned dumb they really believe the hype created by Al Gore, George Soros, Bill Gates and and Klaus Schwab which has only ONE true thing associated with it...that it will line the pockets of multi-billionaires even further.

soar2newhighs ·

@4meAndyou Al Gore…the only Green he knew was the money he made with I believe Qatar an oil
Producer who no doubt wasn’t a positive for climate change.
