Elon Musk calls for increase in US oil, gas production to combat Russia

[Irredentist]

Oil industry is no threat to the drinking water. This is a lie told by eco-extremists.

Til a pipeline breaks and leaks ten thousand barrels of oil into the watershed. Who are you trying to fool? This shit happens all the time.

 

[BlueTex]

Resign, and go **** themselves.

LMAO... Did they hurt your feelings? Did the beltway protest not work out? Afraid voters are gonna figure out the bullshit the GQP is spreading?

Even more hilarious is the idiotic argument that the oil companies WANT prices to decrease... LMAO... The GQP would have us believe this is the ONE market where the suppliers are unhappy with high prices and profit...

Please list all the measures he took to limit production.

One of Biden's first actions in office was to freeze the federal oil and gas leasing program. Maybe he should "unfreeze" it? https://nypost.com/2022/02/22/biden-drilling-freeze-makes-us-poorer-and-less-safe/ Biden scrapped the Keystone XL pipeline, created uncertainty for fossil-fuel companies (with congressional subpoenas aimed at the majors) and vowed an unrealistic, expensive 50% cut in emissions by 2030. So, maybe he should unscrap the Keystone XL pipeline, cancel the subpoenas and reverse his vow of 50% cut in emissions by 2030. https://nypost.com/2022/01/29/as-biden-doubles-down-on-his-war-on-energy-prices-keep-shooting-up/

Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency is writing new rules that will raise costs for fossil-fuel-based power plants. Team Biden has also moved to kill the Eastern Mediterranean Gas Pipeline, which would’ve brought Israeli and Cypriot natural gas to gas-starved Europe, helping ease shortages there. Biden is also reviving Obama-era loan guarantees for “clean energy” producers, starting with $1 billion in backing for a Nebraska company that will make “clean” hydrogen.

Biden didn’t quietly sidetrack the Keystone XL pipeline with legal manoeuvres. The new president yanked the permit on his very first day in office, blocking a project that would have delivered crude from Alberta’s oilsands before even speaking to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He didn’t simply rejoin the Paris climate pact, as he promised during the campaign, but had his climate adviser, Gina McCarthy, commit Wednesday to “the most aggressive” carbon cut the U.S. can make. That came just before Biden signed a climate-related executive order suspending new oil and gas leases on public lands, directing federal agencies to purchase electric cars by the thousands and seeking to end fossil-fuel subsidies. https://financialpost.com/commoditi...imate-blitz-goes-faster-further-than-expected

Now he's stuck buying Russian oil, and they can't just cut off the purchases from Russia out of fear of the economic consequence. That helps Putin fund his war on Ukraine.

Are ANY of the halts in permitting in effect? If we granted unlimited permits today, how long would it take to see production from these permits? Would you agree to rapid permitting on federal lands on the condition that the oil remain in the US only. No exporting our oil for the oil companies profits.

 

[MrNiceGuy]

Even more hilarious is the idiotic argument that the oil companies WANT prices to decrease... LMAO... The GQP would have us believe this is the ONE market where the suppliers are unhappy with high prices and profit...

Oil companies want to maximize profits, so high prices can be good but aren't necessarily good. As prices increase, it puts downward pressure on demand, so if the prices get too high, it doesn't necessarily mean total profit is higher.

And in a competitive market, each individual seller has an incentive to reduce prices, so that consumers buy their product rather than a competitor's product. That's why we need to protect and encourage free-er markets, rather than constantly increase regulations and price controls.

By limiting exports of oil drilled on federal lands we would increase supply in the UNITED STATES... Why the hell should the American taxpayer subsidize oil prices worldwide? You seem to want them to have their cake and eat it too...

 

[MrNiceGuy]

The lack of the media doing something really isn't an indication of anything, from any ideological perspective, media outfits can be a bit like herd animals chasing the story and acting in a reactive way.

I didn't say it was. But if the Administration isn't disclosing that they're doing something, it's fair to say they aren't doing it. If they are, they can prove it. And the way the mainstream media carries water for Democrats, you can rest assured if something favorable to Biden was happening, it would get shouted from the rootops of the world with a great, unified barbaric yawp.

I don't think your assessment is true. One of Biden's biggest problems is actually in not taking enough credit in the good work that his administration is doing and handing over that narrative to others with less pure motivations willingly.

He didn't limit exports. He limited drilling.

I never suggested a subsidy. What subsidy? Oil companies pay for leases on federal lands. They aren't subsidies.

Cake and eat it too? I just want them to drill more oil, so we can be energy independent again, like we became under Trump. That's what we need.

Didn't you read? And this isn't only about permits.

LOL - Jesus, man, do you not read the news or watch the Administration's press conferences? All they do is take credit. They take credit for stuff they didn't even do, and they invent positive news. It's cute you think that this administration has more "pure motivations" lol. Sure.... pull the other one, buddy.

 

[EMNofSeattle]

Awwww... So you believe that oil under federal lands should enrich the oil companies.. Screw Americans... Got it..

It would not screw Americans to increase American production by 1 to 2 million bpd

I get that you’re a leftist and used to promising total utopia for every one of your plans, maybe that’s why adult real world solutions are shunned by you

Perhaps my wording was not clear. Why should the American taxpayer sell oil from federal lands that the oil companies then sell to the highest bidder OVERSEAS? If we are going to open up drilling to benefit the American people, how would allowing oil drilled on federal lands to be sold overseas benefit the American people? We can ALL see how it benefits the oil companies...

 

[BlueTex]

I get that you’re a leftist and used to promising total utopia for every one of your plans, maybe that’s why adult real world solutions are shunned by you

How would increasing production 1 to 2 million bpd help Americans if every barrel of that oil was sold outside the country?

They could do more to get the news out in front of the American people.

Developing wind, solar, and hydroelectric will also help to reduce our need for oil imports. It may not be as catchy as "drill baby drill", but it's much more effective in the long term.

Oil company shills are trying to take advantage of the current spike in gas prices to undo all of the progress that's been made in curtailing the dangerous excesses of the fossil fuel industry. Obviously, we cannot simply allow that to happen.

And the GQP idiots believe the oil companies want to return to low gas prices and hence low profits all for the "good of America".... The funny thing is, its working...

 

[Simon W. Moon]

The AGW cult needs to snap out if it for at least a little while. Even Musk see’s what needs to happen at this point in history.
“Hate to say it, but we need to increase oil & gas output immediately," Musk tweeted Friday. "Extraordinary times demand extraordinary measures."
“sustainable energy solutions simply cannot react instantaneously to make up for Russian oil & gas exports."

YAY!

A celebrity endorsement!

If a celebrity says it's a good idea, then it MUST be a good idea, right?

Celebrities are rich and famous.
Being rich and famous means they are ethical, smart, knowledgeable, and wise too.
