White House Rejects Idea of Boosting Domestic Oil Production to Lower Gas Prices
Breitbart ^ | 7 Mar 2022 | CHARLIE SPIERING

Posted on 03/07/2022 6:44:23 AM PST by Mr. Mojo

The White House on Sunday rejected the argument that increasing domestic oil production would help lower gas prices, as the cost of oil moves toward record highs.

Crude oil prices rose as high as $130.50 a barrel on Sunday evening.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki released a set of talking points on social media, arguing against a focus on boosting oil production in the United States.

“It’s a reminder that real energy security comes from reducing our dependence on fossil fuels,” Psaki wrote, noting that Russia’s continued invasion of Ukraine was causing a spike in oil prices.

President Joe Biden’s administration is exploring diplomatic shifts with oil producing countries including Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and Iran, as Russia’s latest Ukrainian offensive has disrupted oil markets.

But Psaki argued the only way to truly be free from high gas prices was to stop using oil.

Is this administration more malevolent or incompetent? Given the obsession with green energy I’m going with malevolent.

No word exists in the English language to describe the evil in this administration. I am serious, no word can be found. To be making the decisions they are making that would deliberately wreck the lives of ordinary Americans goes beyond evil, treason, despotic, psychopath, etc. to try and describe what is going on. Even a mentally ill serial murderer would tire of killing people. These folks apparently do not become weary in committing evil. What is the word for that?

They really believe the higher prices will make us all drive less, buy EVs, and demand alternate fuel sources.

These people make morons look informed.

It is incumbent to educate and inform the American people that the Biden cabal is destroying America’s domestic fossil fuel production, is directly responsible for high prices and energy shortages, and all the real poverty and misery that follows.

Obviously they're incapable of doing any form of threat mitigation.

What would happen if the US is dragged into a military skirmish and needed to supply the war effort?

Where would off of the oil needed come from? Depleting the Strategic Stock Pile that they've already been siphoning from?

Obama wanted the same thing and those of us in the oil and gas business did it anyway. We’re on private land and they can go pound sand.

But it’s okay to dangerously diminish the SOR so he can say, “we’ve released 50 barrels of oil from the SOR that should drop the price of XXXXX a dollar a gallon...”

I hope this costs him and his treasoncrat party an additional 20+ seats in the house and senate.

They would rather buy oil from our enemies than help America.

This should be a campaign commercial.

"In response to the volitile oil situation, rather than allowing domestic industry to flourish--whuch creates jobs, lower prices at the pump, and lower your grocery and utility bills, Joe Biden and the Democrats go to foreign dictatorships for oil. They and their families live high on the hog on your taxes while you suffer their unlawful mandates, get harassed by their media allies, and have your kids sent to foreign conflicts that have no purpose."

No, she’s wrong. There is at least one other way to drastically reduce our need for oil.

A Major And Total Financial Crash And Great Depression II.

A couple of million die off, everything — everything — is DRASTICALLY scaled back, all private financial assets are confiscated, and 1984 is ushered in with a vengeance.

No need for oil then. And, we’re well on the road to it.
