The move follows pleas by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

I’m really growing tired of this guy.

This will be catastrophic in America more than most places... Americans are big time commuters.../I>

Next year's heating season will be catastrophic. People that pay $1000 to heat will be paying $3,000.

Agree this is eyewash.
Oil is a semi-fungible commodity.
The Russian oil will find a buyer somewhere.
I suspect the ChiComs will purchase all they can send.

The epitaph on Biden’s tombstone should be the quote from Obama “Never underestimate Joe’s ability to f#^& things up!”

It'll probably say 'The Greatest President Since Obama"

So, for all you researchers out there, what portion of a gallon of gas the typical Texan burns is Russian? In ounces please. Just askin.

Crude oil is a very fungible product that can be moved from almost any place in the world to almost every place in the world.

If the USA stops importing Russian crude oil, that oil will find a new home someplace else in the world.

If Biden does ban the import of Russian crude oil to the USA, this is nothing more than ‘rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic’.

Russia will probably just sell it through a 3rd party anyway so it will just cost everyone more.

A query on Google for this question just reveals that Texans are pro-embargo. Not surprising... Ted Cruz was just on Glen Beck saying the same thing... of course embargo along with freeing up American energy...

They made the stage because they needed larger telepromter for Biden. Also they can control his access and replies better. 80 million americans have really screwed our country and put the world in a precarious position.

This ship of fools have put us in a ditch I don’t think I’ll ever see us get out of. This declaration by the droolilng emperor comes after putin already said he plans to stop deliveries just in the last two days.

I suffered through just over a minute of this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlTxGHn4sH4

“Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”

What we see is a continuation by the administration team all clamoring to do what they didn’t get done with obama.

Same plan, new method, sky rocketing energy costs and by that sky rocketing costs for everything else.

Oil must be displaced to new markets. Russia will market somewhere. Probably china which drives china and russia into each other’s arms even more. It will not happen over night and until supplies are rebalanced we are in for some terrible times. Very terrible.

It’s all about hastening the adaptation of EVs, never let a crisis go to waste.

And more, changing budgeting radically to shift to massive spending on Green projects at the expense of everything else. Congress will have to stop this in next year's budget, if they have the fortitude.
