Oh come on. This classy, erudite, fit-as-a-fiddle president assured us in no uncertain terms that we can't drill our way to cheap oil and energy independence.

Wow. It’s a bit disconcerting when a thing happens for which you have been waiting 40 some-odd years...!

This is one of the reasons why the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is modernizing and locking up guys like the ultra-jihadi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.

They are now second fiddle...and they better get used to it.

Hey, Nick...are you still a Trump hater?

Keep enough here such that our per gallon never exceeds $2 ever again.

It is renewable, toon stuff dies, rots, forms oil and natural gas. Don’t let the libs win that argument.

What contempt I have for Obama. He pounded the drum of America in decline, America as an equal among second rate nations that required “browning” to fix.

I'll tell you what, Barack. Go check out how that Venezuelan oil industry is doing.

Venezuela was what Obama and Hillary wanted for you and me and our kids and grandkids.

MAGA, baby. MAGA!

Once upon a time, we were the world's biggest food producer as well.

Let's get rid of the stupid crony capitalist ethanol mandates, and put that cropland back to work growing food instead of fuel. Then, nobody will **** with us.

We continue to import 35% or more of our net demand for crude.

Bottom line there will never be energy independence in the idea of cheap readily available oil that most people think of. We will always pay at or near world prices which means if the ME blows up our prices will skyrocket. We will have our own domestic supply that is true but only if we are willing to pay for it. If we are not then it will be exported. the fracking boom was driven by $100 oil.

How about price controls, or imported oil taxes, which more than few FRs favor, to keep prices below world market? Check the 70’s for the answer. There is no way to beat the world wide market for oil.

Venezuelan oil is nasty. The U.S. has the capability to refine it and get the sulfur out of it. Most countries don’t have that ability. China doesn’t care. Venezuela tried to stiff them by putting water in with the crude and charging full price.
