The price of oil has blown past $125 per barrel this morning as the Biden administration's climate change agenda continues to hamper progress on lowering costs.
Over the weekend a number of State Department diplomats were deployed to Venezuela in hopes of pulling off sanctions on the Maduro regime in order for the U.S. to tap back into the country's oil supply.
"Senior U.S. officials are traveling to Venezuela on Saturday to meet with the government of President Nicolás Maduro, according to people familiar with the matter, as the Biden administration steps up efforts to separate Russia from its remaining international allies amid a widening standoff over Ukraine," the New York Times reports. "The trip is the highest-level visit by Washington officials to Caracas, Venezuela’s capital, in years. The United States broke off diplomatic relations with Mr. Maduro and closed its embassy in Caracas in 2019, after accusing the authoritarian leader of electoral fraud. The Trump administration then tried to topple Mr. Maduro’s government by sanctioning Venezuelan oil exports and the country’s senior officials, and by recognizing the opposition leader, Juan Guaidó, as Venezuela’s lawful president."
Last week Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said importing oil from Iran, the world's largest state sponsor of terror, was being considered.

Let the USA be held hostage by the crazies in Venezuela, Iran, and Saudi Arabia for our incremental oil supply instead of removing the roadblocks the Biden Crime Family has put in place to curtail USA oil production.
Yup. Biden's plans are really great long term solutions.
Maybe Biden's next long term solution is to drain the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Germany just said NO to banning Russian oil imports
FLASHBACK VIDEO: Trump went to the UN and called out countries for relying on Russian oil The German delegation was caught on camera laughing at him for saying it
These delusional Biden leftists are first at the throat of the American oil industry and now they are licking the feet of people that wish to destroy us.
They are despots (that is worse than a dictator - look it up).
Iran has already said no, Venezuela is also likely to say no. That leaves the Saudis.
And... The Russians...
“Maybe Biden’s next long term solution is to drain the Strategic Petroleum Reserve”
Considering he’s tapped into it twice already I wouldn’t be surprised.
You can count on one thing...he will never reverse the XL pipeline closure.
The idea is to drive people to EVs at all cost.
They do love to punish those who disagree with them.
Producing oil in other countries to use here, good for the climate.

Nancy Pelosi rubs her knuckles every time she hears that another coal fired electrical power plant is shutdown.
Criminal malfeasance. These people need to end up in prison.
If you want a visual reference to what these a holes want here, consider the scene in the Godfather where the mobster killer says, leave the gun take the cannoli. Up in the passenger side of the front windows was a ration stamp (A) for gasoline. The letter designated your allotment of gas and in this case, the insider mobster had the top allotment.
Get China out of our policy making structures. Get China out of our universities. They cultivate thinking and public policy meant to subjugate America to their plans.
We are also importing more Russian oil than ever as well right now,as Biden has said no to cutting that off, even as Congress and many in his own party demand it.
God, what a treasonous son of a bitch.
Yeah, the US.
“We are also importing more Russian oil ...”
I hear that under Trump we became energy independent. What’s changed in a year? Are we actually still energy independent but are buying foreign oil because it’s cheaper?
