Dems tell Biden to drill
American Thinker ^ | 10 Mar, 2022 | Silvio Canto, Jr.

...which means it's getting pretty bad out there. Joe isn't listening.

President Biden was in Texas on Tuesday. His visit was so short that they didn't turn off the engines on Air Force One.

It was a strange visit because Beto O'Rourke, the Democrat running for governor, did not get an invitation, or did not respond to it.

Who knows? Beto can’t stop talking about the lights going out 13 months ago.

We do know that a few Democrats want more oil production, according to a letter posted on Fox News:

A group of Texas Democrats Tuesday called on President Biden to do more to unleash domestic energy production in the United States in the face of rising gas prices and reliance on foreign countries for energy.

Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-Texas, led a group of Texas Democrats in a letter to Biden Tuesday applauding his announcement to ban Russian oil imports while urging him to enact clear policies to help domestic energy producers boost energy output for the U.S. and beyond.

Drill baby drill or something like that.

My guess is that these Democrats are not alone on this. Every Democrat and Republican must be bombarded by angry constituents paying over $4 a gallon at the pump. One of these Democrats, Rep. Henry Cuellar, is in a tough runoff against Jessica Cisneros, a Texas version of the Squad. I'm sure that Mr. Cuellar will call for more drilling and Miss Cisneros will call for more green energy. It will be fun to watch which message moves the district.

I thought Canada shut it down and started dismantling it.
Hope that’s not true.

When it comes to climate change hysteria Dems were shrill, baby, shrill which created the energy shortages leading to outcries of drill, baby, drill. Now, it’s time for them to pay the piper at the polls come November.

There hasn’t been enough reporting about the winter freeze in Texas. Texas’ electric grid collapsed when wind mills froze. People froze to death. It is a grim warning about the reliance on unreliable energy sources. Beto is doing us a favor by making it a political issue.

I think this is from 2015:

What is the Keystone XL Pipeline?

https://stateimpact.npr.org/texas/tag/keystone-xl-pipeline/

The Keystone Pipeline already exists. What doesn’t exist fully yet is its proposed expansion, the Keystone XL Pipeline. The existing Keystone runs from oil sand fields in Alberta, Canada into the U.S., ending in Cushing, Oklahoma.

The 1,700 new miles of pipeline would offer two sections of expansion. First, a southern leg would connect Cushing, Oklahoma, where there is a current bottleneck of oil, with the Gulf Coast of Texas, where oil refineries abound. That leg went into operation in January 2014. Second, the pipeline would include a new section from Alberta to Kansas. It would pass through Bakken Shale region of eastern Montana and western North Dakota. Here, it will pass through a region where oil extraction is currently booming and take on some of this crude for transport.

The southern leg of the Keystone XL ties into the existing Keystone pipeline that already runs to Canada, bringing up to 700,000 barrels of oil a day to refineries in Texas. At peak capacity, the pipeline will deliver 830,000 barrels of oil per day. While the pipeline is initially carried U.S. light crude, it is expected to carry more heavy Canadian oil harvested from tar sands over the next year.

TransCanada has been attempting to get a permit for the pipeline project for more than five years. Since the northern leg of the pipeline crosses international borders, TransCanada needs to obtain a Presidential Permit through the State Department for construction of the portion of the pipeline that goes from Canada to the U.S. “Quite frankly, we need a Presidential Permit for about 50 feet of pipe. If we weren’t crossing that border then we wouldn’t be having this conversation,” TransCanada representative Jim Prescott told StateImpact Texas in 2012.

The northern segment, from Alberta to Texas, is the section that has run into several points of opposition. Most recently, in mid-April 2014, the Obama administration postponed again a decision on a Presidential Permit, citing uncertainty about a court case in Nebraska over the pipeline’s route. While the northern leg stalled, TransCanada went ahead on the southern leg.

The specific states the line would travel through are Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. The line would cross through 16 counties in North and East Texas. This map lays out the existing and proposed routes:

good map at the link. Remember, this is from the far Leftist NPR.

All of the above is the correct answer.

Equally important is the public statement that we will eliminate all regulatory barriers to any type of energy production.

Congress could also enact tax credits or other tax benefits for energy production.

That would send a very clear message to the futures market.

“We will become energy self-sufficient and energy exporters. Any law, regulation, or other government activity that impedes energy production of any kind will be repealed. This is not an option. It is a necessity.”

It only takes 5 or 6 Democrats to hold the House hostage until they get Biden’s attention. Will they do that?

Not unless McCarthy targets them in a big public way.

Biden is watching Matlock.

That show is much too complex for Joe. Biden is busy with clips of Romper Room.

So ... what would happen if everyone in the oil industry just decided “to heck with what Biden says, we will do it anyway.” ?

Just asking.

So we’re in an “energy crisis” and he flies to TX for a quick photo op and they don’t even shut off the engines?

any Democrats with any brains know this is going to be a lodestone around their necks in every election for years and years to come.

They’re against good paying blue collar jobs and are for policies which drive up energy costs....which of course the poor and the middle class can least afford. Republicans will tag them as the party of “let them drive Teslas” a la Marie Antoinette and it will stick.
