Maybe. Seems like a funny action to take if one is afraid of Putin's nuclear saber rattling. Seems like a fine line or maybe No line between supplying the Ukraine and establishing a no-fly zone in the eyes of someone like Putin. I do have to wonder though, how Putin's far eastern partner feels about being caught up in a nuclear war because Putin got triggered, and for that matter, if the Chinese have a solid understanding of Putin's mental state. Just speculating because Xi might be the key to ending this war without ending the world.

No no no nope

SCOOP: Biden’s advisers are discussing a possible visit to Saudi Arabia this spring to help repair relations and convince the Kingdom to pump more oil, Axios has learned.https://t.co/pXnOoCldIi

I amend what I said a few pages ago. The admin has gone full on stupid with regards to oil

---

Actually, if this isn't a clear message that they only care about their environmentalist agenda, nothing is. Pragmatism isn't even a mindset they have.

---

We agree!

Look, I care about the environment as much as any reasonable person. I love the SC lowcountry, the NC mountains, and recent trips to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons are just stunning -- and I want all those things, and the wildlife that lives within it to be safely preserved for generations to come, etc.

But this is just dumb, and the fact they'd look towards either Venezuela or the Middle East should be a freaking recall-worthy.
We can all hope that we move towards renewables, and I'm good with investing there to some degree, but come on....

---

I'm not an environmentalist, the way they are projected nowadays... That said, I am a conservative and with that, a conservationalist.

I'm not against any form of energy (I do like my Mercedes with its V8 gas engine); however, this mad rush to green this, green that, is not good. We have to plan this in a functional way.

Russia is not functional!!

That's the mentality they have. They're smarter than everyone of us. We can't produce oil and gas here because of the environment. But it's OK to ask the rest of the world to step up their production.

Psaki tells everyone that opening back up the Keystone pipeline is not an option because it's years before it would help. (Halted 14 months ago) But this is why we should be moving towards green energy, which oh by the way is even more years away from being beneficial.

They really just think you and I and everybody else are just stupid!

That is why I use the term Elitist!

This is what bothers me --- this group is cutting off their noses (actually, all of our noses) to spite their face --- and telling us we are bad people if we disagree.

Have a path towards the future, but don't interrupt what we need to do today -- or worse, make us dependent on foreign nations that are led by despots and criminals.

SCOOP: US to ban imports of Russian oil, sources tell @annmarie @SalehaMohsin and me. White House announcement as soon as TODAY.

It depends on if it coincides with an opening of US production to stabilize the market. I suspect that 2nd part won't happen today though

Lets just say I have zero faith in this administration opening up US production, given what they have done the last few days.

If you are at the point of begging Venezuela and Saudi for oil instead of opening production, I dont see how banning Russian oil changes that

---

agree, I bet he goes to the releasing barrels from the strategic reserve gun again.

Band-Aid on a broken leg

I am fine with banning Russian oil. If you actually want to use sanctions that could actually make a difference, this is a good option. Doing so without any sort of plan to replace said oil is just plain stupid. Reaching out to a socialist Russian ally and the Saudi royals isnt a good option either.

Its getting to the point where I am not sure it matters who the Pubs run in 24, they will romp.

---

2024? I'm beginning to think that it isn't gonna matter who the republicans run in 2022 midterms they are gonna romp.

Nothing kills any midterm ambitions that the democrats have like 5 dollar a gallon gas.

yes, and I think they need to credible and not these the 2020 election was stolen zealots. Those people will probably lose no matter how well they campaign if that's part of their platform.

34 of 100 senate seats are up for reelection. Not sure how many are dem and republican but it won't take much to change things, Lord willing and the creek dont rise.

Maybe they don't or maybe they do. Regardless, if the Senate can be flipped, you flip it. If they don't do what they say, vote them out in the massive 2024 wave and move on. I don't care how or why but things HAVE GOT TO CHANGE in the house.and senate in November.

Our production is steadily increasing and has been ever since August 2020, before which it had dipped due to COVID.

US Oil Industry Prepares to Boost Production

People hear about the Keystone pipeline permitting and they think Biden literally shut off existing oil production, which isn't what happened. Keystone would have built additional capacity and killing the permit rattles the oil market some but it didn't directly impact current production. Oil production is sharply up over the last 18 months.

Quote:

---

U.S. oil production had plunged during the early months of the pandemic, driving dozens of oil companies into bankruptcy and forcing others to retrench and shut down new drilling. But since August 2020, it has roared back, adding 2 million barrels per day to reach 11.6 million barrels per day by late February, and forecasters expect that figure to climb by another 1 million barrels by the end of the year.

---

Also energy independence is a misnomer. In 2019 went from being a net importer to a (mild) net exporter but we were still importing 8 million barrels a day immediately pre-COVID. People hear "energy independence" and they think "independent from our need for foreign oil" but that's not at all where we were/are.

Oil Imports and Exports
