re: America is dependent on oil and gas

Description

You don't know anything about oil & gas exploration that's for sure. Just because there are thousands of leases available doesn't mean there is gas and oil to be found under each one of them or even a high percentage of them. Then permits have to be issued for drilling which can take years to approve after all the legal challenges by the EPA and environmentalists have been defeated if they are. Biden shutdown ANWAR for drilling where we know there's oil. Biden shutdown the XL pipeline that would bring in 900K barrels a day. Biden campaigned on ending the oil industry. To say his actions had no affect on oil production, oil availability and ultimately prices is screwy. The US has population growth demanding oil, 1 million legal immigrants a year, over 1 million illegals a year etc. they need the energy oil, gas and coal provide which renewable energy provides extremely little to support. The chances renewable energy supplying all our needs is at best decades away probably well beyond our lifetimes. Even if you could blink your eyes and the US was totally fossil fuel free Russia, China, India and the rest of the world wouldn't be and the climate change theory would still exist. Causing this transition to renewables through high prices on fossil fuel is cruel and deadly, totally unnecessary, it shows a distain for the poor and is inhuman, they are telling us this everyday. That's Biden's legacy, that's why Democrats who follow him will be voted out of office. Biden's war on oil doesn't set the price but it's causing it to go up, it's all cause and affect. First, why do you continue to lie? Shall we assume you're getting paid to post lies? So that means you're a Dumper? Joe has opened up more drilling than Dump ever did. There are more drilling leases available than ever before. So if the government is telling oil companies they can drill and refine to their heart's content, and they don't do it, what does that mean? It means the oil companies like the price where it is. The government doesn't set oil or gas prices. But you know what? That pimple on your ass? In keeping with your theme that everything bad in your life is the president's fault, that's Joe's fault. Same with the twisted ankle, swollen knee, and pulled muscles. Of course I'm sure your life was grand under Dump right? I mean nothing like being stuck inside for a year because *his* government ignored a pandemic. Nothing like hearing him rip on China only to be found he was making business deals with them. Nothing like hearing him espouse the virtues of Putin while he tried to affect aid to Ukraine for political purposes. Nothing like a good old insurrection to top off a completely dysfunctional administration. And then there's Rudy and Sidney and The Pillow Guy and MTG and LB and the list goes on and on.
