Today’s Brent Crude Futures price!

[Hawkeye10]

Oil traders are beginning to figure out that Trump was lying his ass off about this war being almost over.

Brent is currently at $100.

I was just reading in the morning news price of gas is over $300 a gallon in ALL 50 states.

I think you meant $3.00 a gallon.

Did you know that in 2022 (under the Autopen) the price of gas was over $4.00 a gallon in ALL 50 states? Did you know that this lasted for over three months?

Did you know that in 2022 (under the Autopen) the price of gas was over $5.00 a gallon in 13 states?

 

[Jarod]

Where were you when Biden drove the price of fuel in America higher than it ever has been due his EO?

U too, @Nomad, I have you on ignore, but have not forgotten your bullshit.

How did Biden do that?

Yes we all know Russia's war on Ukraine and the end of covid and return of massive product demand caused a very short term shock to oil prices in 2022.

All very normal and NOTHING any POTUS can do much about for things outside their direct control.

Very different from the prices going up now as a DIRECT RESULT of Trump choices and actions, something he will HAVE TO OWN and no amount of whataboutism will save him from that.

Trump wants us to spend another 300 Billion or more building another refinery that is fine , what we need to do is build one that can refine Tar sand oil from Canada.

No special equipment is required, Tball. Build refineries.

As it is now they are sending a lot of it to China.
Canada has a lot of it and as of now we don't use it, it can be made into the type of gas we use so why not?

Remember the pipeline you idiots opposed?

 

[Into the Night]

Iran is hitting refineries in other ME countries. You're right. You can't run out and get replacement parts for that at Home Depot.

No, but you can get replacement parts from the guys that built the refinery. Home Depot doesn't build refineries, idiot.

 

[Into the Night]

How did Biden do that?

• Restricting Leasing and Drilling: In 2021, the administration paused new oil and gas leases on federal lands and waters. While a federal judge later blocked this, critics argue the policy shift created uncertainty, discouraging long-term investment in domestic production.
• Canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline: On his first day in office, President Biden revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, which critics argue limited future supply capacity.
• Increased Regulatory Burden: The administration introduced tougher environmental standards, including stricter methane emissions rules for oil and gas operations, which critics claim increased the cost of production.
• Tax Proposals: The Inflation Reduction Act included new taxes on oil and gas producers, which industry advocates claimed disincentivized investment.
• General "Anti-Fossil Fuel" Stance: Critics argue that the administration's vocal commitment to transitioning to renewable energy created a hostile environment for investment in oil and gas production.

RQAA. Are you trying to be stupid, Pretender?

Inversion fallacy. You can't blame Biden's problems on Trump, Kewpie.

 

[Into the Night]

No we do not produce enough oil for our demand,

Yes we do, Tball.

We produce about 13,7 MBPD and we consume about 20.3 MBPD.

Argument from randU fallacy. Stop quoting made up numbers. Bing is not a valid source.

The Keystone XL pipeline could have been built,

Nope. Biden canceled it.

the EPA gave the okay to build it IF they would have run it next to the old Keystone pipeline that runs to the gulf,

WHY would you run an extension where a pipeline already exists, Tball??

but they didn't want to do that they wanted to run it in places where it would have put peoples drinking water in jeopardy

No drinking water was in jeopardy, Tball. More of your made up shit.

and with the spill record Canada pipeline company has they wouldn't let them .

What Canada Pipeline Company, Tball??

As I said we need to build a refinery that can use it and make the type of gas we need.

Need more than one, Tball. You also need the pipeline extension to get that oil to refineries and terminals along the Pacific coast.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

You got that backwards.

Only a small portion of the worst of Magats support this.

Broadly most of maga who believed Trump when he proclaimed he would not engage in these ME wars and would not send US sons or treasure to the region and would instead invest at home are firmly against this along with the majority of independents and Dems.

So your entire narrative is a lie, as usual.

It is YOU that is wrong. Right now, the public in the US is about evenly split for support or opposition, with the only strong opposition being the 20-ish percent on the Left / Democrats.

[T. A. Gardner]

Yup.

Iran had/has a very robust drone manufacturing sector that they certainly can reconstitute in a more under ground way to drive a war based economy going forward, if they need to. Similar to how Ukraine has focused on their own 'home made drone program' as a counter to Russia's conventional weapons.

Those drones can target and cause enough fear in the shipping lane that Shipping companies simply will not risk using the Strait.

How Iran's drones supercharged Russia's 1,000-day fight in Ukraine​

Ukraine war: The sea drones keeping Russia's warships at bay​

Iran can easily pivot to making sea based attack drones if they decide that is where they want to focus their efforts.

How'd that "undergound factory" thing work out for Germany in WW 2?

 

[Jake Starkey]

With what navy?
Iran's navy is decimated.

With what air force?
Iran's air force is decimated.

Obviously YOU don't.

Projection.

The Iranian navy still has several dozen fast boats, capacity two to four 500lb mines.

Iran still has missiles and drone.

Research! Jeez, you are a good little Nazi tds-afflicted MAGAmutt.

That is not what the great majority of the current, reputable polls say.

The Iranians claim that they dont need any boats.....they can do everything they might want to do by other means.

Biden has not a thing to do with where we are today. It's now that counts, Matt.

I doubt that, but who knows?

 

[Jake Starkey]

Prices are going up all over the nation.

Look at Ukraine.....war has completely changed.

 

[gfm7175]

"very short term" = almost the entirety of 2022.

All very normal and NOTHING any POTUS can do much about for things outside their direct control.

Is this akin to "mostly peaceful protests"?

Very different from the prices going up now as a DIRECT RESULT of Trump choices and actions,

Much of the current price increase is due to fear mongering, which isn't being caused by Trump.

something he will HAVE TO OWN and no amount of whataboutism will save him from that.

Yes, Trump will fully own the low gas prices this Summer after this military operation concludes in a few weeks.

Even with today's gas price increase in my area, gas prices are still at the LOWEST rate that they ever were during 4/5's of the Autopen's term.

 

[FastLane]

How did Biden do that?

By bad oil regulations an killing future financing of long term projects by saying we were going to end fossil fuels.
