Blackouts possible this summer due to heat and extreme weather, officials warn

[Into the Night]

Trump's sheeple just keep repeating the same shit they've been told for years;

TDS.

global warming doesn't exist,

It doesn't. No gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth. You are ignoring the 1st law of thermodynamics yet AGAIN. Trump didn't write the 1st law of thermodynamics.

we'd be better off if the oil companies had unlimited access to our nation's resources

We would.

and it's all the Democrat's fault.

It is.

These idiots think turning back the clock is the best solution to our nation's problems.

No clock involved. Cliche fallacy.

Texas has had major blackouts for years before Biden, is he still responsible? The blackouts they have had were not from renewable sources.

The main cause of the massive disruption, by far, were the frozen components leading to the outage of thermal plants that heat water and convert the steam to electricity. The vast bulk of those thermal plants are powered by natural gas. In addition, the South Texas Nuclear Plant was thrown out of service Monday as a result of frozen pipes, which cut even further into the Houston area’s electricity supply.

Texas also is not on either of our major power grids, they have their own. Texas is run by right wing shitheads so fuck them, let them suffer.

Natural gas is a renewable fuel.

Your hero Trump thought China could do it with their Hurricane Gun.

Trump repeatedly asked if China had secret ‘hurricane gun’ and if US could retaliate, report says

Fake News. Word stuffing.

Just where will the oil companies drill that they can't now?

The States of America.

There aren't any.

There is.

Ignorant fucks such as yourself haven't a clue about the oil business.

You are describing yourself.

Making up numbers and using them as data is a fallacy, dude.

Mantra 77D

 

[Dutch Uncle]

What problem?

Fault of what?

It is not possible to measure the temperature of the Earth. No gas or vapor has the capability of warming the Earth.

Leaping to conclusions.

You don't. You are looking at it religiously...as a fundamentalist.

Something like what?

Obviously.

NASA is not the temperature of the Earth, nor can they measure the temperature of the Earth. They can't falsify the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics, or the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

Not the same people. NASA has changed a lot, dude.

NASA can't get to the Moon today.

NASA can't put any man on a planet today.

The US has been steadily reducing imports and increasing exports since 2005....but feel free to keep sucking Trump's micro-penis, dude.

I see you are using the effect of Trump's economy on showing how exports exceeded imports, as described by FreeSpeech1789. You just supported his statement.

Exxon will not sell anyone oil for a penny less than the global price of oil set by OPEC.
And if Exxon can buy oil for $50 per barrel when it costs them $60 per barrel to drill for it, they will stop drilling and buy it overseas. That is why the US is not dependent on oil from elsewhere. Just because we may have imported more than we produced does not mean we are dependent. The instant oil prices rise enough that it is profitable for oil companies to produce, we won't need a drop from elsewhere.

OPEC does not set oil prices.
Denial of market forces.

Yup! Do you notice that when the ignorant are put in their place they respond with nothing but a stupid fucking insult?

Insult fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

Agreed. These idiots are just sucking up the bullshit being fed to them by global corporations. It was the same with Big Tobacco back in the day.

False equivalence fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

He isn't.

He is.

US oil production is driven by the global price of oil and not the president.

No. It is driven by the ability to obtain product and the desire to make money.

US oil companies have countless drilling leases they are not using for reasons that have nothing to do with Biden.

Biden cancelled the permits and won't issue any. Leases are not permits.

In a battle of wits, they're all firing blanks.

We really need to insist that all h.s. graduates complete and pass a course in basic economics, basic government, basic reasoning and logic.

Corporations exist solely to make money for their owners and/or shareholders. Period. Without regulation things would be a LOT worse, but it's impossible for the poorly-educated to understand this. Even if forced to take a course in the above subjects, a certain subset would *still* not get it.

Fascism is not capitalism. Communism is not capitalism. Capitalism requires no government. It required no government to figure out how to obtain oil or to fraction it to produce gasoline. It required no government to invent and improve the automobile.
