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

Just wait!
Biden’s “clean energy Nazi’s” don’t care.
In fact they’re happy its happening.
Liar
Will the lying ever stop with these POS.
Green New Deal
green on the outside and red on the inside
No they will not.
They have no shame.
Besides, up is down, bad is good, defund the police....
Everything is going according to plan.
This is ridiculous. 15 months ago we were energy-independent, and a net-exporter of oil.
Their refused solution: get back to where we were at 15 months ago, by allowing more drilling, and allowing permits for the aborted Keystone pipeline. Their (stated) reasoning: it’ll take too long and won’t solve the short-term price problem. It’ll likely take a few months to 2 years.
Their proposed solution: Transition to green energy. Assuming we had the technology to make this a viable option, it would still take 20- 30 years to implement.
Next biden will tell everyone he’s not a pedophile
Geez. Reagan had a famous line “are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?” Today we can ask “are you better off now than you were 1 year ago?”
Go F’ yourself Joe.
Is there anyway we can get the Amish to drive their cars less? That would help...
According to Dementia Joe, that’s “expodentially”
Did you know Chevy built a model they named the “Confederate”?
(If I owned one, I could defend my paint theme!)
Biden would have support for a National 55-MPH speed limit.
I very much doubt it. And even if such a thing passed, I doubt it be enforced in much of the country.
“Gas is gonna go up, up, up!!!”
My Dad had a gas station back in the 70’s. The prices got so high it exceeded the max price the pumps could register, so we had to set the pumps to 1/2 price and double it. I wonder what they are going to do if they go over $9.999?
To live in this town you must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough!
I didn’t know that. Nice looking car, it would look great with the “General Lee” treatment!
Who besides the McMansion elites living in and around Montgomery county could give a rip about “Clean Energy”?
Biden lies. He has always lied.
Anything he says is a LIE
