Everyone Excited to hear that Brandon finally will sanction Russian Oil?

They keep saying on the news that we are waiting for Brandon's latest report on new Sanctions that he finally and reluctantly will set on Russia (after the political will of the US Citizens pushed him into action).

Are you happy?

Dude, it was never "Let's Go Brandon" as what the HILLBILLY race crowd was actually chanting was "FUCK YOU BIDEN"!

SO when you refer to Biden as BRANDON, then you are basically saying "Fuck You BIDEN"!

SO, since you think this is funny- FUCK YOU DAMO!

Now, let me just advise you that CHEVRON, SHELL AND EXON have been purchasing Crude by the barrel from RUSSIA ALL THROUGH THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION!

And, I just happened to notice- THAT YOU NEVER HAD ANYTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT DURING THE TRUMP REIGN OF TERROR IN THE WHITE HOUSE!

SO FOLKS, OUR LEADER HERE IN THE FORUM IS A TYPICAL TRUMPTARDED HYPOCRITE!

I just tell the truth- if the truth hurts anyone's feelings- I apologize in advance" [Geeko Sportivo]

horseshit. Biden shut down keystone, Biden cancelled offshore drilling leases, Biden banned all drilling on federal lands, Biden shut down anwar. The high gas prices and inflation is ALL the result of stupid senile Joe's policies.

Oil companies have millions of acres of land and water on lease. None of Biden's decisions had anything to do with this price surge. We also know that Keystone was a pipeline through America with the really filthy tar sands oil. It was planned to ship oil to the gulf where it would be made into diesel and airplane fuel for Asia and Europe.

Conservatives will truly criticize Biden for whatever he does. If he doesn't do this, he's "weak" and "afraid." If he does, "look at what Biden did to gas prices!" And no matter what, "Trump would have taken stronger action....and kept gas prices low!"

Watching Fox is like watching a cartoon these days.

It’s also Georgia and South Carolina. No, COVID did. 9,000 leases Damo. It isn’t Biden stopping production. It’s the oil companies.

Pretending that "proven sources" is the same as looking for "new sources" is just pretense. It also clearly just ignores that taxes for companies drilling for oil massively increased as he removed tax incentives put in place to push towards energy independence (Subsidies). Pretending that ending such subsidies doesn't change the cost ratio for developing oil in the US is simply disregarding economics. Brandon wants you to believe that because he didn't remove permissions for drilling where it was already being done he didn't put any policy in place to disincentivize drilling (like removing subsidies).

"With nearly 25 percent of U.S. oil and gas production coming from federal lands, the policy shift may have significant implications for future investment and production. "

And he continues to refuse new lease sales even with the current state of affairs.

Yawn
[FONT=&quot]“Experts in the economics of energy, however, say that U.S. energy production hasn’t been scaled back by Biden and that Europe’s only path to energy independence is to transition away from fossil fuels.”[/FONT]

Half of the offered leases drew no bids at all.
"They held the lease in ANWR — that is history-making. That will be recorded in the history books and people will talk about it," said Larry Persily, a longtime observer of the oil and gas industry in Alaska . "But no one showed up."

What crap Damo


He is layering on the punishment


It’s more effective that way



Expecting everything like this to be done at once is stupid



He is layering on the sanctions



There will be more to come



He’s talking to CEOs


To help him LAYERING ON THE SANCTIONS



Acting stupid so you can keep hating on Biden makes you an asshole

In 50 years we will be using different energy sources. I really do support an active and eager work towards new energy. I just also support energy independence while we get there. For instance... back in the day I talked about using LNG in vehicles, it is slightly more expensive but it is less damaging to the environment.. I just believe we should use every source available in the interim.

Switching technologies is expensive...as anyone who lived through record players to 8-tracks to cassettes to CDs can attest. I still have a couple of VHS players and tapes. Kept one 8-track as a souvenir.

Agreed LNG is a good tech although my only experience is with LP forklifts...and not much of that. While it's plentiful in parts of the world, it's not renewable. There's still transportation issues which force inefficiency into the system.

The pros and cons of LNG escape me offhand but do know LNG ships are safe. However, as the number of ships increase so do the probability of the odds coming up with a worst case scenario like the Challenger: https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-space-shuttle-a-case-of-subjective-engineering
When risk analysis isn’t

NASA conducted its own internal safety analysis for Galileo, which was published in 1985 by the Johnson Space Center. The Johnson authors went through failure mode worksheets assigning probability levels. A fracture in the solid-rocket motor case or case joints —similar to the accident that destroyed Challenger —was assigned a probability level of 2; which a separate table defined as corresponding to a chance of 1 in 100, 000 and described as “remote,” or “so unlikely, it can be assumed that this hazard will not be experienced.”

The Johnson authors’ value of 1 in 100 000 implied, as Feynman spelled out, that “one could put a Shuttle up each day for 300 years expecting to lose only one.” Yet even after the Challenger accident, NASA’s chief engineer Milton Silveira, in a hearing on the Galileo thermonuclear generator held March 4, 1986, before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science and Technology, said: “We think that using a number like 10 to the minus 3, as suggested, is probably a little pessimistic.” In his view, the actual risk “would be 10 to the minus 5, and that is our design objective.” When asked how the number was deduced, Silveira replied, “We came to those probabilities based on engineering judgment in review of the design rather than taking a statistical data base, because we didn’t feel we had that.”

The U.S. needs to do EVERYTHING it can here, short of starting WWIII.

This is an existential threat, unlike any we have really faced in recent decades. It is very unlikely that Putin stops w/ the Ukraine if he is successful there.

Conservatives should stop nitpicking every move, and realize that the globe is unified against this action. It's like they're waiting for a new opportunity to take Biden down. This is the time when people set partisanship aside and we focus on a common enemy.

Yes, but expense is not the only thing we should think about. It is more important to have the nation no longer reactive when it comes to energy. It is far easier to lead when you don't depend on despots, tyrants, and terrorists for oil.

The goal should be independence, not "cheapest".

Dude I live in an OIL-RICH state, and the Wildcatters have been saying this for the last 4 decades, "I refuse to drill or explore until the price of Crude gets up to $100 a barrel!

Well, what's stopping them now?

If it's not on Federal land or Waters- THEY ARE FREE TO MOVE ABOUT THE PLAINS!

you have not posted any facts, so your bullshit lies mean nothing. the keystone oil would have been refined into clean burning gasoline and diesel, as well as heating oil, and all are reasonable prices. Sure there are still some working offshore platforms, but new leases were cancelled by your hero senile joe.
