'We're not subsidizing Putin's war': Biden says he's hitting the 'main artery of Russia's economy' by banning all energy imports, insists he pumped MORE oil than Trump and says it's time to transition to clean energy

President Joe Biden said the ban is a 'powerful blow to Putin's war machine' during White House remarks
The ban will be levied by the US alone without European Union allies, which rely more on Russian energy
Biden used their reliance on Russian oil and gas as a reason to accelerate the move toward clean energy, which he said 'will mean that no one has to worry about price at the gas pump in the future'
American markets only bought 3.5 percent of their crude oil from Russia last year, with most from Canada
Domestic gas prices have skyrocketed since Russia launched an unprovoked attack on Ukraine in late Feb But the crisis has still exacerbated US gas prices, which reached a US-wide record average of $4.17 per gallon
The American Auto Association released a series of tips to help Americans 'conserve' fuel on Monday
Meanwhile US officials have been looking at Venezuela and Saudi Arabia as potential sellers to fill the gap
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said going to authoritarian Venezuela for oil is 'the height of insanity'
Democrat Senator Jon Tester said 'We shouldn’t be advancing other countries who don’t share our values'
More than 7 in 10 Americans still say they'd support a ban on Russian oil, a new poll released Tuesday shows The United Kingdom is expected to levy its own ban on Russian oil, with a ban on its natural gas still in talks

Well Trumps first year in office was after 8 years of Obama/Biden destroying our energy sector.

Lying KGB tool. Russia is soon to be transshipping their oil thru Venezuela to be sent to the US. The democrats were down there two weeks ago setting up the deal. Putin’s US bank accounts are still open and transacting. That’s how his US agents get paid. They skim off Russian oil profits.

Going from the number one producer of oil in the world, a little over a year ago, to begging for oil and good pricing from OPEC & Russia! All in the stroke of a pen!

More than 7 in 10 Americans still say they'd support a ban on Russian oil Nine in 10 probably would love to see a ramp-up of domestic production and opening the pipeline from Canada.

[It’s inevitable that Democrats are going to call for price controls on gasoline, which would inevitably lead to rationing. But I don’t think they have the votes or political capital to make it happen.]
The optics of gas lines would be the coup de grace for the Dems during the mid-terms and 2024.

Why aren’t the states like Illinois suspending state gasoline taxes? why aren’t the Republicans demanding that Joe reopen the pipelines here? Why is it crickets?
To: frogjerk
“He also hit back at Republican accusations that his administration cut back US oil and gas production — pointing out that he actually pumped more oil than his predecessor Donald Trump did during his first year in office”
That may be true. It took a year or so for Trump to roll back the production killing Obama-Biden regulations, And a year for Biden-Harris to put them back.

That’s really high for PA.
It will take quite a toll on our trucking industry, and the consumers will pay the ultimate cost.
