So now we have at least one Democrat saying what I have been saying here - that Biden's energy policy is destructive and it is ridiculous to be buying oil from Russia. We should take steps to be energy independent
Joe Manchin: While Americans decry what is happening in Ukraine, the United States continues to allow the import of more than half a million barrels per day of crude oil and other petroleum products from Russia during this time of war.
This makes no sense at all and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s energy security. The United States can and must ramp up domestic energy production
If there was ever a time to be energy independent, it is now. I am calling on the Administration and industry partners to take action immediately, up to and including banning crude oil imports from Russia.
Wonder what misinformation the libtards will try to push about this

Berry, I support a full embargo on Russian oil as part of U.S. sanctions against Russia
I don't support your catastrophist hyperbole about a war against U.S. energy production.
It's that simple.

The Senile Biden administration has been conducting a shadow war on US domestic oil production since the day he took office.The Green New Deal will bring Russia to its knees!!!!!!
Cheap oil hurts Putin
Expensive oil enabled the invasion of Ukraine Originally Posted by berryberry

The West’s Green Delusions Empowered Putin
While we banned plastic straws, Russia drilled and doubled nuclear energy production.
Some excerpts:
Missing from that explanation, though, is a story about material reality and basic economics—two things that Putin seems to understand far better than his counterparts in the free world and especially in Europe.
Putin knows that Europe produces 3.6 million barrels of oil a day but uses 15 million barrels of oil a day. Putin knows that Europe produces 230 billion cubic meters of natural gas a year but uses 560 billion cubic meters. He knows that Europe uses 950 million tons of coal a year but produces half that.
The former KGB agent knows Russia produces 11 million barrels of oil per day but only uses 3.4 million. He knows Russia now produces over 700 billion cubic meters of gas a year but only uses around 400 billion. Russia mines 800 million tons of coal each year but uses 300.
That’s how Russia ends up supplying about 20 percent of Europe’s oil, 40 percent of its gas, and 20 percent of its coal.
The math is simple. A child could do it.
The question is why.
How is it possible that European countries, Germany especially, allowed themselves to become so dependent on an authoritarian country over the 30 years since the end of the Cold War?
Here’s how: These countries are in the grips of a delusional ideology that makes them incapable of understanding the hard realities of energy production. Green ideology insists we don’t need nuclear and that we don’t need fracking. It insists that it’s just a matter of will and money to switch to all-renewables—and fast. It insists that we need “degrowth” of the economy, and that we face looming human “extinction.” (I would know. I myself was once a true believer.)
John Kerry, the United States’ climate envoy, perfectly captured the myopia of this view when he said, in the days before the war, that the Russian invasion of Ukraine “could have a profound negative impact on the climate, obviously. You have a war, and obviously you’re going to have massive emissions consequences to the war. But equally importantly, you’re going to lose people’s focus.”
But it was the West’s focus on healing the planet with “soft energy” renewables, and moving away from natural gas and nuclear, that allowed Putin to gain a stranglehold over Europe’s energy supply.
As the West fell into a hypnotic trance about healing its relationship with nature, averting climate apocalypse and worshiping a teenager named Greta, Vladimir Putin made his moves.
.
.
.
For all his fawning over Putin, Donald Trump, back in 2018, defied diplomatic protocol to call out Germany publicly for its dependence on Moscow. “Germany, as far as I’m concerned, is captive to Russia because it’s getting so much of its energy from Russia,” Trump said. This prompted Germany’s then-chancellor, Angela Merkel, who had been widely praised in polite circles for being the last serious leader in the West, to say that her country “can make our own policies and make our own decisions.”
The result has been the worst global energy crisis since 1973, driving prices for electricity and gasoline higher around the world. It is a crisis, fundamentally, of inadequate supply. But the scarcity is entirely manufactured.
Europeans—led by figures like Greta Thunberg and European Green Party leaders, and supported by Americans like John Kerry—believed that a healthy relationship with the Earth requires making energy scarce. By turning to renewables, they would show the world how to live without harming the planet. But this was a pipe dream. You can’t power a whole grid with solar and wind, because the sun and the wind are inconstant, and currently existing batteries aren’t even cheap enough to store large quantities of electricity overnight, much less across whole seasons.
In service to green ideology, they made the perfect the enemy of the good—and of Ukraine.

Ho hum - Senile Biden put a new pause on oil and gas leases in America—the same day Russia invaded Ukraine! Like his other steps, Senile Biden continues to take steps to reduce American energy production while importing oil from Russia that is funding Putin's invasion.

“It’s ridiculous, totally ridiculous,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) declared yesterday, that “we’re buying over 600,000 barrels a day of crude from Russia.”
Manchin to Biden: Stop buying Russian oil and ramp up domestic production now
Manchin wants an immediate end to such purchases — and more importantly, an immediate plan to increase American production to return to self-sufficiency.

Senile Biden's War on American Energy Continues
Biden Plans To Double Down On Energy Agenda While Dependency Hampers Diplomacy - The White House’s energy agenda has already raised power prices to seven-year highs.
In his annual State of the Union Address on Tuesday, President Joe Biden is planning to double down on the “clean” energy agenda that’s limited diplomatic options with Russia.
.
.
.
The White House’s current agenda has already raised power prices to seven-year highs.
Absent from the pre-release, which touts offshore wind, electric vehicles, and costly new regulation, was any mention of the energy independence forfeited by the administration within the last year.
After Biden shut down the Keystone XL Pipeline and suspended oil and gas leases on federal land, the U.S. doubled is imports of Russian oil, according to the Energy Information Administration.
.
.
.
After the president suppressed domestic production, leading to high power prices throughout his tenure, the White House has maintained its refusal to interrupt global energy markets with sanctions on Russian oil and gas, the world’s third-leading oil producers responsible for 11 percent of the world’s supply. In a press call on Monday morning, the White House made that clear.

... $70 Million dollars a day. ... That's the cost
of oil from Russia.
So drilling for America's OWN oil is somehow WORSE than
paying Putin for his? ... Reporters asked that Butigueig
idiot about "opening ANWR" and his responce was
"We're transitioning AWAY from oil." ...
THAT is all you need to know about the COLLOSIAL FAILURE
of Biden and his shitty administration.

Facts, not hyperbole. The Senile Biden Administration is hostile towards US energy production. Anyone with any semblance of common sense can see that from their actionsHyperbole starts with facts. It's how far you stretch them to reach your conclusions. It's how you define "energy production" and "energy independence" that makes me call bullshit. How you use war phraseology which looks fucking stupid when compared to actual war.
But it's ok. We're here to entertain and not to change views

The Biden Administration will gladly buy oil from Iran and Russia.
But they banned new drilling leases in America. Buttplug Pete says buying oil from Iran is on the table
