That would be hella better than the way it is Actually done, man. Look the fuck around. The 'throw darts at random pages' in any phone book from The United States Of America days, and you could not do worse by any stretch of the imagination than what's been served up for the last hundred years. https://www.censored.news/
Sadly Roy Williams there is wrong. We do have a pipeline, Biden only squashed the XL portion. To be fair a pipeline does not increase production and Keystone XL would not have been up until 2023 at the earliest. By next year crude is going to be in the $50-$60 range with the economic direction the world is going in. Also Keystone XL was meant as a path to bring the oil down eventually to the gulf for export. "It was expected to transport 830,000 barrels of Alberta tar sands oil per day to refineries on the Gulf Coast of Texas. From the refineries, the oil would be sent chiefly overseas—not to gasoline pumps in the United States." "But environmental reviews by both the Obama and Trump administrations concluded that the Keystone XL pipeline would not have lowered gasoline prices. NRDC and its partners also found the majority of Keystone XL oil would have been sent to markets overseas—aided by a 2015 reversal of a ban on crude oil exports."
I think Roy was saying it tongue-in-cheek. We have an administration that has openly - and this is a key word - OPENLY declared war on fossil fuels and energy producers. And now they're lamenting that they're dependent on OPEC. Pretty stupid. Instead of idiot politicians going after "record profits" that should be used to drive CAPEX investment, instead go after things like stock buybacks and stuff like that if you want to go after anything at all. Don't tell energy companies you're looking to squash them and then expect them to help you out by investing in projects to provide future capacity.
I gotta admit that even though Bloomberg reporting goes lefty, one of their reporters just gave a Senior White House Spokes-joke a VERY decent raking over the coals over this oil fiasco. Basically asking him WTF is going on. It has just been two weeks since Bidenistas met with the Saudis and now they are totally blindsided, and WTF are we getting for all of our arm sales to the Saudis if they are siding with Russia. That type of thing. The spokes-joke basically conceded that they had been played like the keys on a piano. It was that Ann Marie chick versus one of the David Westin types on the network and others who have a homo-erotic relationship with Camp Biden. VERY DECENT.
I remember all those Congressional hearings where they dragged the CEOs of Exxon and others and complained about their salaries.... at least Exxon was being paid with earned capital and not taxpayer money...
Yeah, that guy's an idiot. This whole "war on fossil fuels" is just a bunch of big oil snowflake pearl clutching. Biden just took us back to Obama levels of permitting and did away w/shitty Trump policies.
Now we are kissing Maduro's ass and Arabs having us as they like. All due to self-inflicting wounds made by Obama and Biden. There was absolutely nothing wrong with Trump's policies. Energy independence is first and renewable energy is second.
