The Keystone pipeline would bring in enough oil to replace Russian oil.

The Keystone pipeline would provide thousands of $75,000.00 plus a year jobs and all the support jobs of the pipeline and the workers.

The liberals want high oil prices so people go to electric cars. Guess what, fossil fuels are used to make 85% of electricity.
Stupid is stupid does.

Utility Scale Electricity Generation in 2021

Fossil - 60.8%
Nuclear - 18.9%
Renewables - 20.1%
Other - 0.2%

Breaking out the big guns in fossil, natural gas accounted for 38.3% and coal was 21.8%.

Petroleum only accounted for 0.5% of 2021 electric generation.

Utility scale means that the plant's generating capacity was at least 1 megawatt

Current reporting indicates that the expectation is the ban on Russian oil will be announced today. Supposedly US only, Europe won't be taking that step

Yep - On Day 1, Senile Biden halted the Keystone Pipeline and issued a moratorium on new oil and gas permits on federal lands. Then he gave the green light on a pipeline for Putin.

This is all part of the libtards ridiculous climate agenda and war on America

These are not government based decisions, they are economic based decisions by the companies that own those drilling rights. If there is a glut of oil or gas, prices are low and it doesn't pay to produce that well. If all the sudden oil and gas prices go up, then it makes sense to drill a well and produce it. Those wells cost on average between 5 and 10 million to produce each. It wasn't that long ago that we had five times the oil well producers out there and most of them went into bankruptcy by overproduction of wells, and ended up going out of business. Most of the existing Wells were absorbed by those companies who were able to withstand the financials of only the last 3 to 5 years. You uninformed people on the right think this is only about drilling holes and making more commodity available. That's not the case nor is it ever been. That's why OPEC got together and decided to limit production of their oil and gas Wells. So they could literally control the market and pricing.

As a reminder there were more oil and gas bancruptcies from 2016-2020. I recall a fat orange turd in office spouting nonsense about oil but a flood on the market only drives prices so low that companies literally go broke producing wells.

This hurts nobody but US citizens. American families are being destroyed to protect the Ukrainian political slush fund, they have absolutely no shame.

The headlines if it happens should read "SENILE BIDEN FORCED TO BAN RUSSIAN OIL"

Because that is what is happening. A bi-partisan measure in Congress was going to be announced to do just this. Senile Biden first begged Ways and Means not to, then he begged Pelosi who refused then Wyden via Schumer who caved so Senile Biden wouldn't look even worse than he is

That press conference started about a half hour ago and already ended.

Reporting acknowledges pressures domestically to do pursue this.

DoE confirmed what many suspected and that Russian oil imports for last two weeks of Feb had already dropped to zero as domestic companies shunned it.

So Senile Biden's hand was forced by Congress. Funny how you omitted that in your initial post on it and only after I pointed it out did you concede this was the case

Meanwhile

Jen Psaki: Can’t afford rent? Have a Margarita!

Pete Buttigieg: Can’t afford gas? Buy a Tesla!

They’re laughing at American's pain.

Looks like in the EU Green may be dead

Goldman: "The EU will soon announce its energy roadmap and has reportedly shifted its short-term focus from decarbonization to energy security, likely relying for now on more coal, more nuclear, and gas generation, and overall allowing for more carbon emissions"

Now when will Senile Biden and the libtards capitulate and end their war on American and Canadian carbon based energy

So when domestic companies use a world crisis to inflate gas costs, and likely will show outrageous profits in the upcoming quarter. What will you reptards on the right say then??

Let me guess "oh it's capitalism that's the way it goes."

So just so we're clear, it's okay when a private company makes decisions that fuck over the public, but doing the right thing for the public that results in a negative like increased pricing, is bad?

So quick to hold the government accountable to any actions but nobody wants to say a publicly traded company is fucking them over. My guess is the American population will be woke to this as well as every other entity that tries to take advantage of them, or support these ridiculous ideas of how greedy capitalists fuck over the population. Regardless of who's the president. Go ahead spin masters -have at it.


Morons on the right, will reply in three, two, one...

Nation Wishes We Had Our Own Oil We Could Dig Up With Big Machines And Then Transport Around With Some Kind Of Pipeline

https://babylonbee.com/news/nation-w...nd-of-pipeline

Jesus Christmas, Eye, I hope that’s trolling and you’re really not that thick. A business is there to make money, the government is supposed to serve the people. What kind of weirdo purports that crushing the middle class is the ‘right thing’?

Edit: if I had to guess, I’d say you’re already aware of the difference between government and private industry and are just using that tripe to justify, in your own mind, continuing to support the incompetence of the biden administration.
