While speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) reacted to the Biden administration reportedly looking to increase energy imports from Iran and Venezuela by calling for a return to prior energy production policies to boost domestic energy production.

CNN Chief Congressional Correspondent Manu Raju asked, “So, should the administration ease restrictions on production?”

He got one right

[Dilbert San Diego]

I think Jen Psaki said something about how there are oil leases out there which haven’t been used yet? The implication being that there is no need to increase production because oil drillers aren’t drilling everywhere they can be drilling?

Manchin can be a true “ profile in courage “.

Will he fully assume the mantle ?

[hardspunned]

You’ve got to realize, everyone in W. Va. drives everywhere. Most families also have a pick up. There is a very high percentage on non subsidized working poor in W. Va. This stupidity is a hardship for all of us. For the working poor, this takes food off the table. Maybe we have found a dem with the remnants of a conscious.

At these prices, an oil driller would tap a well in Giants stadium.

So the GOP should introduce legislation, they now have the majority with manchin.

So simple a democrat figures it out ….

The oil company execs put out a response to this, available if you look for it. My take away was that the leases were ether worthless fields or in process. They regulatory environment made it impossible to produce more with what they had. They said they needed regulatory relief and access to capital from banks. Apparently banks are worried that financing oil production will cause the earth to explode into a fireball.

They wouldn’t be able to get it through the House of Representatives.

[Dilbert San Diego]

True. West Virginia is a largely rural state. Many people there need to drive long distances to get to work or go into the cities there. These spikes hurt quite a bit.

They wouldn’t be able to get it through the House of Representatives.

You only need 5 Dems from oil states.

[vortigern]

Why aren’t the Republican pukes echoing this same sentiment?

[AnthonySoprano]

[crz]

Except for one thing.

They placed restrictions on them. Impossible to drill and get into production.

Dont believe anything these scum sucking turds in this administration are saying.

You’ll find out the Media made money on Corona - and they want the Ratings of War Coverage, along with that Tax Break Joe has for them.

DoD Spending orgy. Their spouses are all intermingled with the Administration.

If no new pipelines are allowed to be built how will the oil and gas get to the refineries?
