Biden: "I Would Transition From The Oil Industry, Yes."

The Hill ^ | Oct 23, 2020

[Army Air Corps]

Nah, Solar Turbines - solar cells ON the wind turbine blades. That’ll do it, dontchaknow.

[crusty old prospector]

Many people on FR believe that krap.

[crusty old prospector]

You need a lesson in hydrocarbon generation and migration. I doesn’t come from the mantle. It is a little too warm there.

[RetiredArmy]

No fracking? Back to oil from the Middle East and that would not be Israel because the Marxist’s will not support Israel in any way. I can see those $5.00 per gallon stickers going up around our pumps now!! Oh, and all of those with the very high prices even now, you can smell $7 to 8 dollar gas prices with no local oil and it all coming from the Marxist’s buddies, IRAN!!! Charging top price for their oil to the Great Satan. Thousands and thousands of oil, gas jobs gone; travel costs, shipping costs, up and UP!! Higher prices in ALL STORES FOR ALL PRODUCTS. Higher grocery prices. Higher costs for farmers. Farmers going out of business. THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE VOTING FOR, HIGHER EVERY DAMNED THING. The government IS NOT GOING TO GIVE THESE FOOLS thousands and thousands of dollars every month to meet their bills. It simply IS NOT going to happen. I know I am preaching to the choir here and no Marxists are reading this. But, this is the word we have to get out. Otherwise, we have lost the Republic. If we lose the Senate and they keep the House, even if Trump wins, what can he do, basically nothing. They will do everything to shut him down for four years, planning their next moves. Even impeachment again, this time with the numbers to pull it off.

“Yeah. Joe might have lost Pennsylvania and Ohio with that one.”

Joe lost Ohio long ago. It is off the table for him. Last night just added another nail to that coffin.

And when you tell them that we have found oil in formations so deep they couldn’t have ever possibly been on the surface of the Earth, they get that “Dial Tone” look that is the hallmark of vacuity.

Here's the real kicker... where did the hydrocarbons on Titan come from?

[Magnum44]

Titanic dinosaurs?

[pollywog]

Amen~~~~

[FlyingEagle]

I’m pretty sure Biden certainly meant shut down the oil industry by 2025. It did not take very long for him to assassinate the coal industry with O’Hopenchange.

[bray]

Biggest mistake in debate histoir. Start the commercials now on how you going to live w/o a car?

[bray]

They tried wind farms and they do not work due to not blowing all the time. Oil is not running out since we are sitting on an ocean of it.

[Dr. Sivana]

Transition away from does not mean the same thing as eliminate.

Fracing has allowed us to achieve energy independence that the Dems said was a pipe dream. We still haven't really touched ANWR.

I am not wed to using oil for the sake of using oil. We also have natural gas that can be used for all sorts of things, and we have enough natural gas to last your grandchildren's lifetime, and their grandchildren's lifetime.

I am not really a libertarian, but nothing drives oil exploration and alternative fuel resource better than a spike in fuel costs. That does it without a government policy.

I live in Phoenix, and there is no better place to push solar. After all, we used the most electricity (for AC) here when the sun is shining. There are government outlays, but you can still break even with a good system even without one. We don't need a government program to goose that industry.

Wind is a more of a problem because it is intermittent, and it is most available where power demand is low (open plains, mountains). It works best as a niche product.

Years ago, the government started making standards for energy uses in computer devices and appliances, these energy regulations ultimately spread to light bulbs. In light bulbs, I was a proponent of LED, knowing it wasn't ready, and not interested in a rule forcing them on us. So we suffered for a decade as we started using those awful CFL curlique bulbs (break easily, failure rate is high, poor quality light, didn't fit some applications, and an epileptic's nightmare) which at the end were all but mandated due to restrictions on simple, high quality incandescent bulbs. If we just stayed put on the regulations, the LEDs still would have matured and dominated the market as they do now, just as LCD/LED computer screens and TVs have pretty much eliminated CRT technology, blowing away the old energy standards.

Thank you for your son's service, by the way. I am hopeful that President Trump will continue to push our country into a policy of a true defense posture and not one of global realpolitik, so that men like your son can serve our country in a direct way, and not in nation-building, or bail-outs, as you put it.

[RasterMaster]

Trump sent Joe into self-destruct mode.

Nuclear generation 3 and 4 reactors are the energy solution.

[Dr. Sivana]

Nuclear generation 3 and 4 reactors are the energy solution.

That could be a huge part of it. Whatever happened to those small self-contained reactors that Toshiba was developing?

[Jane Long]

Ha!

What does going to ‘oil’ mean? And, how does that differ from fossil fuels?

Also....regarding Joe’s ‘a LOT more jobs created’.....can anyone say Solyndra???

What a lying tool.

[combat_boots]

I had this in the back of my mind.....

Learn to code was Biden’s line 12/19

“....small self-contained reactors that Toshiba....”

Don’t know !

Just to be clear I am pro-energy production period !
Coal, oil, hydro, solar even wind & tidal if it makes sense for the locale and can be done economically. When I say ‘be done economically’ meaning no government subsidy to keep it afloat.

[Jane Long]

Yes! That, too.

These braindead Dems better wake up.

They’ll destroy your jobs....period.

What will airlines use to FLY???
