Are these the same financial geniuses that said there was no risk of inflation for the last year?

Or is that Vlad's fault, too?

And when you have THE most powerful position in the Country filled by a person that swore to stop the fossil fuel industry dead in its tracks.....

Except they are not stopped in their tracks. Facts matter.

Importing oil is more polluting than drilling at home because it requires ships to bring it here, and they pollute the atmosphere.
I wont mention the other impacts, like less jobs for Americans, for example.
Absolutely. No argument. We are currently the world’s largest producer of petroleum products and the production is growing. As for American jobs: the industry is having a difficult time now finding enough oil field workers.

It has been accurately said that low supply and high demand are the cause of inflation.
But one has to dig more to find out why.
For those who believe that it is Big Oil and their shareholders holding back, I would challenge you to read this.


I blue board member just shot down his own parties' nomination for the Fed. Reserve board and now refuses to vote on another nominee. The reasoning was in regards to gas and oil. Read it yourself. I suspect he forgot more then we collectively know about it. Again, it is about policies not politics that is being discussed as the players in this article are all blue.


Quote:
The West Virginia Democrat went one step further, withholding the nomination of an Interior Department nominee until the Biden administration committed to more oil and gas drilling. Manchin has also blasted the Biden administration and several officials publicly for not doing enough to stimulate oil and gas development.
Yep, there’s a lot of people in the political world with opinions about not liking oil. So what? Production is continuing and increasing, not decreasing.

“Increasing” is one thing.
Increasing enough to keep fuel affordable is another

Dude, oil executives have been threatened with imprisonment.

What is a hot shot?
A hot shot is when you have an ordered part/tractor/hose, (whatever), picked up and delivered to the requested destination, often for a raised fee, for instant delivery to said destination

Maybe you missed post #94. Supply<demand = inflation. Facts matter

It’s probably too political to discuss, but the big guy threatened it.

Maybe you missed the fact that production increased in 2021 and is increasing even more in 2022? You are claiming: 1) that there is a lack of areas to drill for oil, but 2) acknowledge that production is increasing. Both things cannot be true. Fuel costs are inflated now just like all other costs. Largely the result of the federal reserve holding interest rates artificially low for the past 15+ years. Then Covid disrupted the economy. Now oil companies cannot ramp up further at this time because they’re experiencing labor shortages. And that labor costs a lot more due to inflation. Lots of poor economic decisions and government mistakes ever since the Great Recession. Actually before the Great Recession. Monetary policy kept the economy going even though it was apparent that this would eventually blow up. There are lots of factors creating high fuel prices, but a lack of places to drill isn’t one of them. The Bakkan in North Dakota is mostly private lands, the Permian basin in TX and NM is mostly private land. Once again permits are issued by state governments, not the federal government for private lands. Even where there is federal land in these oil fields, they are a small percentage. Alaska and marine areas are where the primary federal lands are in oil fields. And also the most expensive areas to operate in. Oil companies are operating where costs are lower. I’m completely done with this discussion. I have better things to discuss and do.

This isn't political at all just interesting. A very good friend was a neighbor, raised here, moves to California 20 years ago. Very intelligent college professor, he calls me yesterday...a long talk...wow! He's flipped 180 deg. Is there something in the water or air out there? Interesting is his wife raised there and they're light years apart in views.
Strange that's all...apolitical.

The reason that the Keystone pipeline was proposed was to transport low quality Canadian tar sand oil to the Gulf of Mexico ports for export. No US refinery can process that oil. The gulf coast refineries are built to handle higher grade U.S. and Middle East o

If only the less minded would be educated on the facts. I Worked in the oil and gas industry. This is a prime example of the dumbest people on the planet.

Polyester is made from oil based chemicals. Northface, a high end outdoor apparel company is eating crow after refusing a Texas based oil company that ordered coats with it's logo on it.

If ignorance is bliss, why do these people seem so miserable all of the time? :unsure:

Your argument falls flat when gas prices are +$4/gal.

Look at the number of leases Biden handed out compared to lease numbers handed out by the Trumps.

Its not about oil pipelines or about clean water its about the economics.

You arent going to plant your corn field unless the federal government guarantees you get a good price and if your crop fails you get your money anyway thru crop insurance given to you by the government.

You want to give oil companies the same deal as farmers?

News just in:
US oil companies got 20 BILLION DOLLARS subsidy from the government for drilling.


No fuel - no food - no profit - no food, the only loser is mother nature.

Here's the reason for the subsidies:

USA oil consumption PER DAY = 8.05 million barrels per day. (2020 number)

This is not sustainable in many ways. The answer is not more drilling. It might have been when the earth was flat.

This was the results of my search for how many barrels of oil does the US use a day

In 2021, the United States consumed an average of about 19.78 million barrels of petroleum per day, or a total of about 7.22 billion barrels of petroleum.

That’s the price for freedom to move about the country, produce as much as we do and protect a lot of the world from hostile actors (except 1 or 2).

If Germany or Canada were producing as much as we do (largest economy in the world) had as many people as we did (335 million) and had to protect a whole slew of countries borders and patrol oceans like we do, they‘d consume a whole lot of oil, too.

What is a hot shot?
A Hot Shot is a delivery service that responds as quick as possible. Fedex, UPS, DHL, etc. all have certain times they pickup and deliver. A Hot Shot driver will be dispatched immediately, arrive as soon as possible, and then drive directly to the delivery point if possible, or maybe straight to air freight for a charter flight where another Hot Shot driver will be waiting to complete the delivery depending on how critical the need is for the thing.

What you stated was true at one time. It is still true to some extent but now the term "hot shot" is more often used to name a dually pick up with a gooseneck trailer that runs lighter loads then a semi truck.

The majority of North Face apparel is made in an Asian sweat shop, just like Cabelas.
