Increase the boost pressure by 50%.
“Victory” demands it and rightly so.
We have the resources.
We have the economy.
We have the technology.
We have the military.
And now we have a President who is willing to work from a position of power.
The US imports about 5 million barrels of oil per day. 4 million of those barrels per day come from Alberta. Thanks to Ottawa refusing to build pipelines to the Atlantic or Pacific, Alberta’s oil has nowhere else to go but the US.
US total oil production (all products) amounts to 21 million barrels per day or roughly the equivalent of Russia and Saudi Arabia combined.
The US could produce and control 100% of the oil in the world, but the price is still dependent on a global market. I don’t quite understand why people don’t “get it.”
When the price rises as a result of shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, the price rises everywhere—independent of what the US is producing. The people producing the oil make money. And if they are American…I guess that is OK. But the price is the price is the price. And when it is high…the price of everything rises.
In the end, Trump is telling us that it’s great that OUR oil companies are getting rich. But it still cost $100 to fill my truck yesterday. Is EXXON going to send me a rebate check because they refined the gas in the US? I don’t think so.
I can’t quite figure out why the oil supply is in such a delicate state when only 20% of the world’s oil consumption goes through the Strait of Hormuz.
“control us and depopulate the world”
Gotta love Clarice. She doesn’t mince words. Greenies started out as tree huggers. Now their goal of mass extermination is well known.

Of a barrel of oil,
60-65% transportation
25-30% industrial and petrochemical
5-10% Heating, power generation, and other residential/commercial uses
Control indeed!
(And folks think they can save the planet with wind generators.)
