First of all, on Twitter, the coward is already backing off his call to start a war over energy. Typical cowardice, probably helped along by his colleagues reminding him that his computer service guy, his Uber Black driver, his import service guy, his pool cleaner, his landscaper, the guy who poured his water at Le Jardinier at MFAH, his pizza delivery guy, his Amazon delivery dude, and his airline pilot, all voted for Trump. Twice.

Yo, Jason — 5% of all Trump voters exceed every standing Army in the world. Go clean the shit out of your pants.

SeekAndFind :"At a Houston conference last week, Jason Bordoff, Dean of Columbia University’s Climate School, called for the “nationalization” of oil and gas companies.
“Government must take an active role in owning assets that will become stranded,” he said, “and plan to strand those assets.” By “strand” Bordoff meant “make financially worthless.”
Bordoff made the point at least twice during the confrerence. Bordoff’s call shocked many in the audience.
“Jason is smart, well-informed, and well-connected to the Biden Administration,” said someone who was at the conference, “so these comments are scary.”

Apparently, he is well connected to the Biden administration and to the WEF (WEF calls for the "GREAT RESET"), but he lacks historical knowledge and awareness.
If government nationalizing the petroleum industry would be so successful, why then are we no further along on a probable railroad strike (?), or coastal supply chain issues (?)
or replacing our petroleum reserves with doubly more expensive costly replacements, so that Biden might save his political party from tsunami mid-term elections ?

There is nothing 'National', nor even 'Strategic' to save an ideological administration that ignores meritocracy and proven experience.
Any administration needs to work for the benefit of the nation, and not just look good because it has LGBQCTrans identity.
The shortage of petroleum, diesel, gasoline, and home heating oil is intentional and a purposeful sabotage coming from this administration and their stiff-necked mindset.
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is there in case we need it; it is not there for the temporary benefit to save an idiot administration based on ignorant policy.
Buyden needs "to grow a pair", and quit sucking off the National teat to save his a**whole party

SeekAndFind : ".. “Government must take an active role in owning assets that will become stranded,” he said, “and plan to strand those assets.”

If not stranding assets was so important to Buyden,
he wouldn't have kept 'Butt-a-judge' in charge of the West Coast supply chain.
What a FUBAR administration !
Their motto should be :" I'm from the government and I am here to Scr*w you up !

Who thought that we would become Venezuela in only two years.

If this happens, we need to head to Washington and have a REAL insurrection.

Under what authority?

Under the authority of 18 U.S. Code § 911, titled: Screw You, DO something about it, pussy!

Especially since just two years ago we were energy independent. That shows that we need government to get out of the oil business, not to take it over.

The government doesn’t belong in any private business. Get your hands off, Uncle Joe!

Just like the Soviet Union. That worked out really well.

The democRATs know all about that.

These Democrats are morons.

NO! They are not stupid. They are EVIL. They know exactly what they're doing.

As an FYI, maybe best to realize the largest and most effective oil companies in the world are nationalized.

Saudi Aramco. Rosneft. Equinor. Several others.

Geology doesn’t care about politics. Sorry.

True. But: They aren’t stupid. They know, for example, that “nationalizing” the petroleum industry would be highly destructive. That’s what they want. For them, destroying it is a good thing; it’s the desired effect. It would increase their power over YOU.

Oh! That will be a FReaking winner!

The same Federal Government which was NOT ABLE to profitably sell “loose” women and whiskey in Nevada a few years ago now wants to take over the oil industry!

Fer Shure! Fer Shure! They can’t run the oil industry any better than it is being run today!

All they have to do is GET OUT OF THE FRICKING WAY!

AND LETEM DRILL, REFINE AND TRANSPORT OIL WITHOUT BUTTING IN!
