Trump did nothing it was Obama.....Right
"...demand for petrochemicals used in plastic will grow overall demand for oil. "
I don't mean the grammar, I mean I don't understand the supply and demand of this.
Lying TIME mag. churnalists try to spin everything for the Democraps. Unbelievable. Yeah, Obama & co. can take credit for NOTHING except harm to American interests.
MAGA!!!!
Still, the White House sent out a press release highlighting the report on Monday. Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska told reporters at CERAWeek that Republican dominated Washington has transformed the federal government from being “basically hostile” to oil and gas under President Obama to actively supporting the industry’s growth. (In reality, Obama promoted natural gas as part of an “all of the above” energy strategy and his signature climate change regulation would have benefited the fossil fuel.)
Republicans said the federal government was “basically hostile” to oil and gas under President Obama
Time does not refute that. They simply say Obama promoted natural gas as part of his regulatory strategy.
Apples and fruitcakes.
The Obama administration was clearly hostile to fossil fuels. Maybe not all of them, all of the time. But clearly hostile.
To claim they were not, because of a couple of limited exceptions is dishonest.
But it is Time, after all.
What really happened...

Obama essentially tried to make fracking illegal on Federal land.
Who am I?
- Back in 2006, he said expanded drilling in the Gulf of Mexico would only "lull the American people into thinking that we can drill our way out of our energy problems."
- In 2008, while gas prices spiked, he mocked John McCain's call for more drilling. "This is one emergency we can't drill our way out of," he said.
- After the BP oil spill in 2010, he explained that "the reason you never heard me say 'Drill, baby, drill' (is) because we can't drill our way out of the problem." He went on to claim that "easily accessible oil has already been sucked up out of the ground."
- In 2011, while pushing to end oil industry tax breaks, he claimed: "If we're serious about addressing our energy problems, we're going to have to do more than drill."
- In 2012, he declared: "Even if we drilled every square inch of this country right now, we're going to be relying on other countries for oil."
- And when he unveiled his "all of the above" energy strategy, he lectured the country about how "there's a problem with a strategy that only relies on drilling, and that is America uses more than 20% of the world's oil. If we drilled every square inch of this country ... we'd still have only 2% of the world's known oil reserves." He added: "We've got a math problem here."
Drill, baby, DRILL!
Affordable energy for all Americans.
MAGA!
Where as Time & the entire global Left has sought to portray Obama as a savior. They even gave him the Nobel Peace prize a week or two into his presidency.
Hey, Time. FRACK YOU!
Just not in New York state, which has millions or billions of dollars worth of gas under it just waiting for us to go get it.
But little Andy Cuomo is smarter than the rest of the world and has made it illegal here.
So we continue to spiral down the crapper.
Meanwhile, just a couple of miles south, in Pennsylvania, they are reaping the harvest and the money and the economic benefits.
And we sit here raising property taxes on people who’s property is worth less every year, to make up for the lost revenue.
I'm driving my car. I drive my car over 30,000 miles a year. That's why I get a new one every 4 years or so.
Not so much today because big snowstorm in CT. Trees and power lines down everywhere! But normally I drive every day.
Last month I drove to Florida and back. In between, I went to Key West, Miami Beach and Marcos Islands. Crossed the Everglades three times!
Driving is fun. Especially when the radio is on.
Decreased regulation. New infrastructure. Increased demand in the 3rd world. Russia stagnating again. Gas prices holding firm. It seems all the ingredients for another US oil boom are here.
“But analysts attributed the growth in U.S. production to market factors rather than Republican policy”
That is soooo weak.
Does anyone buy into the theory of abiotic oil?
I see trade leverage right there.
Good!
A company claims a solvent process is viable to extract oil from tar-sands at $22 bbl. The sand is cleaned and possibly available as frack sand grade, little to no water is involved with the process, and the first commercial project is poised to commence in Utah. Will see.
“(In reality, Obama promoted natural gas as part of an “all of the above” energy strategy and his signature climate change regulation would have benefited the fossil fuel.)”
This is a POLITICAL STATEMENT, not journalism.
This CONVINCES me that the article was proof-read and marked up by someone from the Obama Administration (or DNC), which is a HUGE VIOLATION of journalistic ethics.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing unethical about getting opposing opinions, but when they’re presented as FACT, with the words “In reality”, that is unethical. The PROPER way to note this opposing opinion would be something like “A former Obama Administration official noted that development of natural gas was a key part of President Obama’s effort to fight climate change.” - Much, much, different.
