interesting you brought up batteries ,considering Joes big push for electric vehicles
what is the most important part of any electric vehicle? the Battery
hunter Bidens firm facilitated a deal for the Chinese to buy the biggest Cobalt mine (Africa)
Joe bailed on Astan the worlds largest deposit of lithium and allowed the chinese to have access


joe has given the Chinese all the raw materials they need - to become the leader in EV batteries

so he cripples our energy production while touting new forms and then hands the keys to that kingdom to the communist Chinese- interesting

America first joe

How has Biden crippled energy production? The oil companies pump oil, not POTUS. The administration has released even more land leases but the oil companies are already sitting on a few thousand. It takes years to go from starting a drill spot to the marketplace. Keystone would not have impacted our supplies or gas prices.


"The Keystone was not an oilfield — it's a pipeline," she responded. "The oil is continuing to flow in, just through other means. So, it actually would have nothing do with the current supply imbalance."

Psaki added the Department of Energy predicts that in 2023 the U.S. will "produce more oil... than ever before."


David Kieve, president of advocacy group Environmental Defense Fund Action, also told CBS News that building out the Keystone pipeline would not have softened the impact the Ukraine crisis is having on fuel prices.

"The Keystone pipeline, under the best of circumstances if you were a proponent of seeing it completed, wouldn't be completed yet," he said. "It wouldn't be online and wouldn't be pumping oil until the year 2023. ... So the idea that somehow the president's position on the pipeline that would still not be pumping oil emboldened Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine is so far-fetched as to be incredible."

Even if the Biden administration were to immediately offer new oil leases to drillers, it wouldn't help with the costs Americans are bearing today. It would take six to 10 years for oil from a new lease to hit the global market, Kieve said.

Right, CBS and an Advocacy Group.
The day after taking office Biden put a pause on any new oil leases on Federal Lands. That was challenged in Court, temporarily lifted , and when the Biden Administration pursued it, the pause was reinstated.
What does that say?
The ruling may be moot as there is some oil lease restoring in the Inflation Reduction Act.Time will tell, so it is an unknown. It was put in the Bill to get Republicans to sign on. Dems weren’t happy. Environment people were livid.

American Oil Production is down almost 10 % since 2019. The number of leases on Federal Land represent around 24% of oil, and 11 % of Natural Gas Production. This tells you how crucial a pause on leases on Federal Land is regarding production and supply. A lease does not guarantee product. It is speculative.

Within the last decade, 4 gasoline refineries have shut done, no replacements have been built because of political, environmental and activist pressure. In addition , Biden’s “ war on Fossil fuels” has diminished the desire for investment in just about anything regarding petroleum as the returns expected will no longer be as in the past. Biden is handing out Billions of $$$ for clean energy, forcing investment in related clean energy industries, causing rising prices and supply problems. And like his Billions for Batteries, you have to play by the rules of the Woke Democratic Party,

Biden is now draining the Strategic Oil Reserve in a foolish attempt to manipulate market pricing.It is at the lowest point in decades, and leaves America extremely vulnerable if a natural disaster or military concern arises.

The bottom line that it all stated tumbling downhill the day he took Office. From Energy Independence , to begging foreign countries to increase production, and then attempting to make deals with low life leadership in countries that can’t be trusted. Add to that, his lack of Foreign Policy acumen , getting us involved in Ukraine, in which the sanctions on Russia have enriched them, and strangled America and European consumers.

You can attempt all the Propaganda spin you want. However the facts are the price at the pump, the amount in the Strategic Reserves, and the lack of a concerted plan to alleviate the problems created. Heating season is coming up. Europe is in sad shape, and America is close behind. Remember Natural Gas is also used fo electricity generation. The double whammy of heating and electrical production may be a lethal combination.

I will provide you with the cliff notes.

Would you vote for joe Biden today, after his performance and the lack of mental acuity he displays daily?

He says he is running again, will you vote for him again?

do you really believe his cognitive ability has not diminished?

would you leave him alone with a female relative below the age of 18?

I’ll keep it simple this time if some wish to remain ignorant.
Can you read numbers?
Drop in average 401K balances of Americans.
Increase in dollars needed to cover the difference to maintain the standard of living of Americans since Joe Biden took office.
Trillions sucked out of the pockets of Americans by Joe’s polices and ineptitude.
$$$ Trillions.

Biden has succeeded in making everyone poorer. Increased the crime rates. Driven up inflation. Flooded the country with illegal immigrants. Embarrassed the US on the global stage…that is whenever he wasn’t falling asleep.

I remember him saying Kabul wouldn’t fall quickly and Kyiv would fall quickly. Everything stemmed from his weakness in Afghanistan. Empowering iran (where is the nuke deal? Kamikaze drones anyone) North Korea (back to launching missiles over Japan) China (Taiwan will be ours) and Russia (time to take the rest of Ukraine that we didn’t take the last time Joe was in office) …..read the report below and get woke.

funny how under trump, North Korea stopped launching missiles, China was under control, Russia was quiet and iran was muzzled with Israel killing their nuke engineers on a regular basis

if today Biden said"I was wrong, Keystone can go thru and Federal land from 2019 is now open again" oil would go to $55.00 a barrel within a week
when you over regulate and State that your goal is to put oil companys out of business -you get less oil
whenyou put pressure on lenders to not lend to fossil fuel based energy projects you get less oil
when you limit the production on the North slope of Alaska-you get less oil

Even if that were true all it would prove is that oil companies are money grabbing whores and market prices are based more on gossip that actual supply amd demand. As that poster noted Keystone wasn't going to increase world supplies but was an easier method to transport Canadian supplies to the gulf. Opec announced a two percent decrease in output but prices shot up 25%? That math doesn't add up.

Start by reading websites that give broader international news coverage than most here in the US like the BBC, AP, Reuters

I always research from multiple sources before I take a position...specifically I was asking for sources for this nugget..."You'll get the house this November but that’s it,Senate and Presidency in the Dems hands."...do you have a source for this definitive statement that you put out there...I already knew about the other happenings because I don't limit myself...

ummmm...oil is a futures market...the price is generated by anticipated supply and demand calculated using present usage...so yes it would have had an impact on prices...it is obvious you do not understand supply and demand...there is not a linear correlation...

All the ” pain at the pump” and related fossil fuel pricing misery of Americans is purely the fault of the Biden Administration in lockstep with their “ Climate Change “ wackos. It is all a lie, it is all about power and control. Another poster in this thread stated that all Americans are losing money , or words to that affect. However that is not entirely true . Donors, favored companies , NGOs and others in cahoots with the Democratic Party are making out like bandits. Not to mention the looting of the Treasury with money going to a Black Hole in Ukraine.

There isn’t any “ Climate Crisis “ it is all manipulation of selected information, the shouting down of contrary views and theories , and with the help of the media , a nearly complete control of the dialogue.

American are getting hosed once again. Bureaucrats telling citizens what cars they can buy and drive, what stoves they can cook on, and what method they can use to keep warm. All about control.

#1 it is all true
#2 do you even have a clue as to how oil is priced? it is priced on the future not what is going on today

guess what
our cut in supply
followed by russia cutting off europe
followed by the saudis
followed by biden running out of SPR

we will be lucky if it doesnt go higher
and all of it is artificial

As billons of taxpayers dollars flow into Ukraine, people dying, infrastructure and culture collapsing, no need sit down and talk about peace with Putin. As heating oil reaches records highs , inflation rages, crime surges and the border continues to allow criminals and drugs to come in, no need to address it .

It is more important for Biden to sit down with a transgender and lecture Americans regarding how it is “ immoral” for states to put a stop to the mutilation and abuse of children in another made up” crisis” of gender issues. Unbelievably, this is where America has gone under this lunatic far left Administration. Sex change for children. Incredible.
