$5 a gallon

... Glad to see H.D. answer some of me questions there - he also
added one reason I forgot to mention - basically "dry holes"...

But Biden's cumbersome rules and regulations also add to the
problem... And banks don't want to lend capital IF there's
no guarantee that the government won't cancel the drilling
permits 3 years in.

Which is WHY Biden and the "green energy" droobs surely need
to step out of the way - and let the push for Energy Independence.

Won't have much choice 10 months for now - the Republican congress
may DEMAND it.

It's what he does. It's all part of his shtick now to either toss out misinformation and other assorted BS or to not make any point in his post so that when you respond he can dispute you no matter what you say. People can see right through it. It really is quite pathetic and laughable but hey whatever floats his boat

As you know, leases for drilling are not the same thing as permits. You can have tons of leases (WH claims 9000) and no permits. Permits can take ages to get approved by the government, federal and local. So as you note, the number of leases is meaningless Originally Posted by berryberry

Why have I been asking about refinery capacity while you're focused on XL?

Why have I mentioned the Jones Act and questioned why no one else is addressing it?

Why isn't it as simple as pumping more oil domestically?

I full well told you that you could mine the AFPM site to find things that support your position and mine, but you still haven't done it. And it shows a major goddamn critical path concern that you're not even trying to address.

Democrats unveil plan to issue quarterly checks to Americans by taxing oil companies posting huge profits



Anyone want to tell me why Republicans are going to shoot this down?

Meanwhile on Friday, gas prices again reached a new peak, an average of $4.33 a gallon, according to AAA. The average price at the pump in California skyrocketed to $5.72. Hell of a job Senile Biden

From Farmers To Office Commuters, Here’s How Biden’s Gas Prices Are Hurting Americans Coast-To-Coast

Like those of most Americans, Dennis Johnson’s fuel costs have doubled. He used to spend $25,000 on fuel, and now he spends $50,000 — every month.

Johnson is a sixth-generation Michigan dairy farmer who also raises beef, corn, alfalfa, oats, and sorghum on 5,000 acres. His operations are extensive, with more than 20 tractors, more than 15 semi-trucks, 50 employees, and a trucking business that transports feed, manure, sand, and the farm’s milk production. The skyrocketing cost of fuel isn’t the first blow to the business either; it’s just hitting them when they’re already down.
.
.
These skyrocketing fuel costs are not surprising, given the Biden administration’s radical pushes for green energy and its relinquishing of U.S. energy independence since his very first day in office. But while Biden can try to pretend it’s all Russia’s fault and say he “can’t do much right now,” as he did on Tuesday, millions of Americans across the country are barely keeping their heads above water. The cost of mobility is completely unsustainable.
.
.
.
Mason Gross, who works for sign company Ford Signs, Inc. in coastal Oceanside, California, said diesel fuel prices in that area are pushing $6 per gallon and have gone up almost a dollar in the past week. He said these gas prices are affecting customers, many of which are new businesses in need of signage, because Ford has been forced to raise its prices by hundreds of dollars since it costs so much to drive to each job.
.
.
.
“Directing affecting families” could be used to describe all of Biden’s disastrous policies at home and abroad. Families are directly affected by green energy dreams and empty shelves just as they have been affected by joblessness over vaccine mandates and the deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Gotcha. I'll accept this as your capitulation since you're either unable to or don't feel equipped to discuss some of the headwinds facing downstream and their impacts on the market, requiring the use of non-domestic feedstocks since the US can't just pump its way out of this.

I find that very disappointing, along with your nebulous language that shifts between US energy independence vs North American energy independence focusing on net exports rather than on consumption as the primary determinant.

If you thought Senile Biden was utterly inept, check out Cackling Kamala:

REPORTER: "How long should Americans expect — how long should we be bracing for — this historic inflation and some unprecedented gas prices?"

Suspending all gasoline taxes sounds like a good idea.
