Would you be willing to dramatically boost U.S. oil and gas production to help the world stop importing from Russia?

This is a follow-up to @Cardinal 's other thread about whether or not we should be willing to accept higher prices in order to cut off Russia.

BLARRRRRRRGGGGGGG I accidentally hit Enter and it posted before I could put in all the options for the poll.

Mods: if one of ya'll is willing, could we add

Middle Leaner - Yes
Middle Leaner - No
Leans Right - Yes
Leans Right - No

and make the votes public?

I'm sorry for the trouble, but thanks for any help :-/

Why would we need to increase production to cut off Russian oil? What does "increase production" mean?

 

[ttwtt78640]

That depends on what “boost domestic energy production” means.

 

[tacomancer]

I would, but I think its going to increase anyway as existing leases get tapped due to the price increase.

Also, any new legislation needs a big boost in renewable research funding to solve the root issue and to give us new tech to sell to the rest of the world.

Honestly, I think we should just be investing in renewables and if increasing oil mollifies public opinion, that's a nice bonus, even if it means Biden takes credit for something that will happen anyway. My preferred end game is that Russia (and the middle east) could never use oil to influence us again.

Well, I don't really give a rat's ass about helping the world stop importing oil from Russia. They make their choices and suffer the consequences.

But I DO think the US should boost oil and gas production to get the US off the Russian oil tit...where the Biden pukes have put us.

If there are supplies left over and if other countries want to get off the Russian oil tit, then sure...we can help them out, too.

I don't lean left so can't answer your poll, but I'd be willing to allow US companies to drill more. They can anytime they want to right now, the federal government is not stopping them.

So, you think we only started importing oil from Russia since Biden took over? What kind of statement is that? The entire world has been buying oil and gas from Russia for a lot longer than Biden has been president.

 

[molten_dragon]

No, we should hold onto as much of our reserves as possible.

 

[EdwinWillers]

No, we should hold onto as much of our reserves as possible.

Agreed, but this isn't about our reserves, it's about reviving our own production of oil to make us less dependent - or not dependent at all - on foreign sources for our oil needs; including Russia.

No. I'm not willing to destroy the environment for cheap gasoline.

I will pay European prices for gasoline, thats what the US should be doing anyway. The move is to renewables, not to increased production of fossil fuels IMO.
Heavily subsidize EVs, they would work fine for most Americans work commute.

If its to replace what we been getting from Russia and its allies then sure. If its to export oil to other countries then no. I don't give a rats ass if the rest of the world buys oil from Russia. Last I checked oil isn't some never ending resource, so we shouldn't be trying to pump it out as fast as we can.

 

[Mycroft]

What does "boost production" mean?

Remove restrictions and let the industry grow.

Basically, get out of the damned way.

We don't need to...and we shouldn't.

Nah. Thats a really really bad idea IMO.

Basically, get out of the damned way.

Right, so Exxon Mobil can rape us and destroy the planet with no "enviro-nazis" to become bothersome. LOL. No. I dont wanna get out of the way.

Some of our friends on the right are happy to enable the profiteers....

You'd rather suffer from inflation?

I'd rather not pay for this...

How are you going to stop that?

 

[reinaert]

By energy, cp, do you mean oil and gas, or all energy sources?

 

[BlueTex]

REGULATION...

He would likely have the federal government invest in time machine research.
