The Democrat Party versus America.
Again.
No worries. We can always import more Saudi and Russian oil. Sure, that will make us vassals of those two countries. But at least our domestic latte-drinking soy-boy tree huggers will be happy.
And that’s all that really matters.

(We need Trump now more than ever. But I state the obvious.)
We can just buy energy from Russia, right? I mean, they need the money — I hear they have a war going on.
Biden continues his war on the working class, and his support of the investor class.
Biden is the biggest ass ever to assume the White House. What is going on in the Ukraine is much more important than climate change. What a doofus!
Energy imports from russia are excluded from the sanctions. We import 7000,000 barrels of oil per day from Russia.
Americans are suffering with inflation and high energy prices.
High energy prices are a big factor in inflation increasing.
Biden could cut off oil imports from Russia and increase domestic energy production which would cut inflation and gas prices per gallon and hurt the Russians.
US and European importation of Russian energy is fueling the Russian War Machine.
Biden is doing this on purpose.

Two hours after taking office, Dufus killed the Keystone Pipeline and restricted all Federal oil leases, including offshore drilling. Even if you’re an ardent tree-hugger, it makes no sense. Consider the following:
Paints a pretty clear picture of one of THE biggest mistakes and its costing US & Canadian Taxpayers a lot of money. Simple Math as it applies to the Keystone Pipeline
KEYSTONE PIPELINE VS TRAIN VS SHIPS , TO MOVE OIL
Someone with a smart brain spent time putting some numbers together:
1 Train has 100 cars, 2 engines and weighs 27,240,000 LBS.
1 Train carries 3,000,000 gallons of oil.
1 train uses 55.5 gallons of diesel per mile.
It takes 119,000 gallons of diesel to go 2150 miles from Hardidsy, AB to Freeport, TX.
Keystone pipeline was to deliver 34,860,000 gallons of oil per day. It would take 12 trains and 1,428,000 gallons of diesel to deliver that amount. PER DAY!
521,220,000 gallons of diesel per year.
The oil will still go to market with or without the pipeline. By stopping the pipeline billions of gallons of diesel will be wasted and pollute needlessly. Does that make you feel good?
Stop the Tar Sands all together? Then we must ship the oil from the overseas sandbox.
1 large oil tanker can haul 120,000,000 gallons of oil
1 boat takes 15 days to float across the Atlantic.
1 boat uses 63,000 gallons of fuel PER DAY, that is about 1 million gallons of the most polluting type fuel in the world PER TRIP.*(See below)
Or take 3.5 days of Keystone Pipeline to move the same amount of oil with a fraction of the pollution.
*In international waters ship emissions remains one of the least regulated parts of our global transportation system. The fuel used in ships is waste oil, basically what is left over after the crude oil refining process. It is the same as asphalt and is so thick that when cold it can be walked upon . It’s the cheapest and most polluting fuel available and the world’s 90,000 ships chew through an astonishing 7.29 million barrels of it each day, or more than 84% of all exported oil production from Saudi Arabia.
Shipping is by far the biggest transport polluter in the world. There are 760 million cars in the world today emitting approx. 78,599 tons of Sulphur Oxides (SOx) annually. The world’s 90,000 vessels burn approx. 370 million tons of fuel per year emitting 20 million tons of Sulphur Oxides. That equates to 260 times more Sulphur Oxides being emitted by ships than the worlds entire car fleet. One large ship alone can generate approx. 5,200 tons of Sulphur oxide pollution in a year, meaning that 15 of the largest ships now emit as much SOx as the world’s 760 million cars.
Eliminate all gas consuming cars and diesel vehicles?
Worldwide car gas consumption is 403,583,712,000 gallons a year. That’s billion.
Worldwide oil consumption is 1,500,000,000,000 gallons a year. That’s trillion.
It takes 2.15 gallons of oil to make 1 gallon of car gas and .6 gal of diesel.
So it takes 867,704,980,800 gallons of oil to run the worlds cars, most diesel vehicles for a year and some ships.
That leaves 632,295,019,200 gallons of oil for other uses.
Passenger vehicles are only a very small percentage of the problem. If emissions are the problem why not just capture them at the exhaust? Create an industry to clean exhaust instead of crushing and entire industry and building a complete untested, replacement industry?
So are we willing to dramatically increase mining to get all the minerals necessary to make all these batteries and electric motors. Mining is way worse for the environment than oil extraction. Killing Keystone was glibly decided by emotional idiots without smart brains!
Choking off a nations energy supply is the height of treason. Energy is what makes modern economies work and our feudal overlords want to bust us down to dirt-scrabbling peasants and cheap young whores for the powerful.
We aren’t going to make it for 3 more years.
AND PERMITS
That means if you have a lease, you cannot drill.
Declare “Man-made Climate Change” a scientific and legal fraud. Then nullify all laws and regulations imposed to address this non-problem.
Clearly Biden is an agent of Vladimir Putin and a traitor!
That’s how that works right Media?
Any excuse will do...
The only “cost of climate change” that the Dems are remotely interested in is the political one. If the country can be made to endure energy price inflation and still elect Dems the rest does not matter one bit. This is probably not the wisest course of action, but there it is.
Climate change, huh??
Oh, but supporting the SAME thing in other countries has no effect??
Oh yeah, they funnel BIG $$$ back to you and yours, ehh Plugs?
