Operating rigs, investment, pipelines -- Biden has excoriated all of these in order to placate his insane "no civilization" leftist owners.

Joe Biden kicked off his presidency on Jan. 20, 2021, by killing the Keystone XL pipeline. It was a message affirming his commitment to green energy policies.
For the energy industry, America’s allies abroad and skilled workers at home, however, the impacts of Biden’s actions were far more concrete.
“Killing 10,000 jobs and taking $2.2 billion in payroll out of workers’ pockets is not what Americans need or want right now,” Andy Black, president and CEO of the Association of Oil Pipelines, said at the time.
“Biden’s hurt us,” said H. Sterling Burnett, Ph.D., Senior Fellow on Environmental Policy for the Illinois-based Heartland Institute. “There’s no question about that.”
“I would say ‘President Biden, I do believe you made a bad decision putting Keystone on the backburner,’” said Saskatchewan First Nation Chief Alvin Francis just days after Biden’s decision. “This could change the outlook of all First Nations in Canada and the U.S.”
“Biden’s view seems to be ‘Energy is good for the world, but not for the United States,’” he added.

After one year of this dimwitted communist tyrant, I have a problem with unnatural gas...
FJB and the ‘Rats he came in with.
Embrace it, you dimwitted 81 million strong morons.
Biden’s Keystone blunder? Only one? EVERYTHING this sorry sack of ____ touched turned to garbage. Let this be a lesson to the mush heads who voted dummocrap.
My natural gas doubled”
We pumped a record amount of gas in 2021.
Opec cut back, stock market speculation, Europe and Asia have run out and with cold winter’s the price is being driven up.
“..EVERYTHING this sorry sack of ____ touched turned to garbage...”
Yeah...but....but.... The suburban soccer moms don’t have to see any more mean tweets. /S.
Whadda bunch of dumbazzes.
Biden has little or nothing to do with the high natural gas prices. The Marcellus utica gas reserves have enough gas for our country for 800 years. 3rd largest reserves in the entire world.
Record gas production under Biden. Then why is the price so high?
Read the forbes article why prices have skyrocketed. I am NOT giving biden a pass or praising him.
As I said above 1. Opec has cut back drastically, 2. wall street speculation (Much of the price increase) 3. Two really cold winters and 4.Europe and Asia and other countries have literally run out and have driven up the price.
It is a tragedy of events all hitting at one time.
31.9 billion cubic feet per day
1 that production in the Marcellus and Utica shales averaged 31.9 billion cubic feet per day during the first half of the year. That’s the highest average for a six-month period since production began in 2008.Sep 1, 2021
Appalachian shale gas production hits record high this year
But it kind of sounds like you don't care much about "workers."
Carry on.
The loss of jobs was over 70,000 in the USA and a similar amount in Canada. The oil pipeline jobs plus all the auxiliary jobs from motels to restaurants to all the stores that supplied the oil field workers.
“Hmm. somehow you missed the Killing 10,000 jobs and taking $2.2 billion in payroll out of workers’ pocketspart.
But it kind of sounds like you don’t care much about “workers.””
_______________________________________________________
Record employment in oil and gas trades and even more jobs need fullfilled in 2022. Oil and gas companies are begging for workers. All those Keystone folks got jobs if they moved.
2022 looks even better. Cold weather and Europe and the rest of the world are out of gas. It’s going to be great for the US gas industry predicted to be the best ever.
“But it kind of sounds like you don’t care much about “workers.””
Don’t believe all the fear porn.
From the link I posted:
“There is a tremendous amount of recruitment going on,” he said. “There is actually competition going on among our companies for workers.”
Although employment levels are rising, there is still a labor shortage within the industry, Tarpley said, and some companies are importing workers to Texas from far-flung states like the Dakotas, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Not a blunder, on purpose.
Your heroic defense of the obviously-pandering action by the “President” disrupting 10,000 lives on his first day in office is duly noted.
Wish some reporter asked Biden if he wrote or even read the executive orders he signed. Ask him to explain the details and rationale of the Keystone executive order. His response would have been priceless.
Wait until they allow fracing in the Empire State.
The Keystone pipeline was bad for America
It enabled Canada to send it’s oil and gas cheaply to us refineries in the Gulf hurting US gas and oil companies who are pumping gas from our lands
Why are we competing like that?
Operating rigs, investment, pipelines -- Biden has excoriated all of these in order to placate his insane "no civilization" leftist owners.
OPEC doesn’t affect the price of natural gas. It is driven by North American climate and export of LNG to places like Europe and Asia.
It is basically tar. Only a few refineries can handle it.
