Biden asked OPEC to release more oil as they have done for Trump in the past. They said no, don't expect relief from rising prices anytime soon.
If only we had our own oil and pipeline?If only we were energy independent so we don't have to rely on the middle east and OPEC? If only these things occurred gas would be 2 dollars or less. Oh wait. All those things existed 8 ******* months ago!!!

Why should they? They know he is a tough talking *****.
They didn’t know what Trump would do, he forced OPEC to think carefully.

Then he'll drain the reserves to "Show how he's helping the American people" only to pay top dollar to refill the things with foreign oil... Some things never change

So how does releasing more oil reconcile with green energy? Politicians…:rolleyes:

Ask Germany, they are using more coal today than they were before they spent 500 billion on "renewables". Meanwhile, France next door get 70% of its energy from clean nuclear.

Why would they?

They know Biden is in a totally vulnerable position by choice (can't do anything in regards to oil domestically).

What happens, again, when supplies decrease and demand increases?

Enjoy today while prices are at the lowest they'll be for the next 3.5 years

Well, at least now we get to be all sanctimonious about how much more we care about the earth. I'm sure that's going to sting like a *****!

But we don't force other countries like China and India to care about the earth. They can do whatever the hell they want but we need electric cars and green new deals. :rolleyes:

And? Who cares? So long as we show that we care, everything else will be fine.

Misinformation! Even if true, I'm pretty sure that they triple pinky-swore to make up for it at some time, so we got em right where we want em. And if they are doing finger crossies behind their back during the triple pinky-swear, and down the road tell us to go f(&# ourselves, I am confident we will hit them with a "scathing" remark of some sort that is bound to make them feel just awful about not doing anything they promised us.

Trump didn’t use foreign oil so someone is full of sand. We were oil independent under him. Jackass Joe turned off the pipeline and made us dependent on them.

Not just the pipeline

Stopped oil leases on federal lands

Stopped ANWR development in Alaska

& More!

Complete war on oil production in the USA.

Don’t forget ol’ Joe giving Russia his blessing on their Nord stream 2 pipeline which had been stalled and will expand Russia’s influence over Europe. And then, after kneecapping US energy production, the demented fool begs OPEC to pump more oil and they spit in his face. It’s one debacle after another.

Calling @tb233 and @Redblooded . You need to set the idiots in this thread straight.

Probably not worth your time though, eh?

Let me guess, oh leftist apologist, but "Biden isnt stopping US oil production or that hasn't gone into effect yet!"

Well sweetheart, let's look at US production numbers

6 mo. average production by year

Obama 2015: 587.3 million barrels

Trump 2018: 1.561 Billion barrels
Trump 2019: 1.799 Billion barrels
Trump 2020: 1.829 Billion barrels

Biden 2021: 682.6 million barrels

Oh whoops, back to Obama policies and Obama production numbers. But I'm curious to hear your lies anyways...

Numbers from US Dept of Energy.

Exactly everyone who wanted Biden in the White House had to have known it would be a severe hit to our wallets at the pump. Oh well…is what it is.

biden is a trainwreck
Just for poor people. Higher prices just a nuisance for financially well off folks. Dem campaigns work great - I will help you poors while actually helping to top 1% get richer (top 10 wealthiest Americans are ALL Democrats…hmmm).

It will be interesting to watch New Mexico next election since most of their state's funding comes from oil leases on federal lands.

Ok, I don’t add this to defend Biden, I’ve said Biden is worthless from the get go.

But when it comes to gas prices, wtf is anyone even talking about? Domestic/Pipeline oil is just exported anyways and would have little to no impact on our gas prices. Our gas prices are all dictated by 1. Supply and Demand 2. Oil markets in the Middle East and Russia.

Biden has not had any effect on the supply and demand. Demand went down, so supply followed suit. Demand goes up, there will be a delay before supply catches it, it’s not rocket science you dolts.

The only thing that will drive prices down is either the UAE or Russia trying to piss the other off and starting to overproduce, or supply catching up to demand which will slowly happen.

You just ignore the official government data to defend Biden so why blatantly lie when the data is public and online?

US oil SUPPLY is down 66% from just last year, scroll up and look at the data.

The oil we export is Mexican and Canadian oil shipped here because they can't refine it themselves. That is exported.

Please learn basics before posting.

None of this is due to Biden’s policies, he doesn’t have any policies. Someone else is running the show, old Joe doesn’t even know he’s president.

Do you have any examples of active domestic oil wells that Biden has stopped? Also, just to confirm, you’re saying domestic oil production drives gas prices?

lol you’re stating it’s caused by Biden. Just asking for some reading material on that point specifically. Also, are you saying domestic oil supply controls gas prices?
