When Biden took office the US was energy independant for the first time in decades. Gas prices were below 2 dollars. So what did Joe do. All he had to do to keep the US energy independent was NOTHING. But he did not. His actions ended our independence. Reduced oil production. Ended the pipeline, halted drilling on public land and reduced fraking. Gas prices are up 50% to 3 bucks. So what is Joe's plan for more oil? He gas asked OPEC to drill more oil so the US can buy more foreign oil. THat's right. Now the US must depend upon countries that have sworn the distructioin of the Great Satan (the US) for energy. Wat to go joe.

You supplied neither details, or references and certainly no links. With your track record on facts, why should anyone believe you?

fantom Loc: Colorado

I understand and believe him because I can read and reason and have experienced gas prices almost doubling in price. If you did not rely on the slime and muck of the liberal lame street media you might be as well informed as normal people. Do you really deny any of the actions biden is purported to have made for his libby-tunes handlers??

I should have suggested that you just should google-- Biden asks OPEC to drill more oil. THat's all the proof you need. And I do NOT accept your apology

DennyT Loc: Central Missouri woods

That is so far from fact.
The pipeline has absolutely zero to do with oil independence. ZERO
He did not end drilling on federal lands... period !!
He said no new leases. Again ZERO to do with American oil independence!!

Gas prices are up due to massively increased demand as people get out and about more.

Educate yourself please !!!!

Relying on "News" sources for definitive data is not likely to yield relevant or unbiased statistics .
Yellow journalism sells i.e. increases ratings...

Those who are truly interested in definitive data might be better served by The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

The (EIA) collects, analyzes, and disseminates independent and impartial energy information to promote sound policymaking, efficient markets, and public understanding of energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment.

Albeit actual statistics may not be as much "fun" as the "Media" spin which is in the business of increasing it's ratings.

Here is the EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook for Global liquid fuels
https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/global_oil.php
This current "Forecast" was completed: August 5, 2021

btw, The EIA was created back in 1974 as a compelling need to address the energy crises of the 1970s.
Believe some of UHH members might remember the agony of long lines at gas stations where only those with Odd or Even number licenses plates could be served. Folks it has been far worse...

Disclaimer: Out of choice I limit my petrol consumption... only visit a gas station once a month at most. Yes I'm one of those Green Earth Hippy Freaks who actually walks the talk. Planet Earth is experiencing trauma of epic magnitude (in my humble estimation). To this end I actually welcome skyrocketing fossil fuel prices, electric vehicles are the most viable solution on the horizon moving forward.

btw I vote with my wallet... suggest others do the same.

He stopped all that the first day in office. Thomas Sowell said Biden had always been a Doofus, and still is
in my opinion. 2022 will be a landslide for anybody except the Marxists.

I get it. EVERYBODY who said we were energy independent at the end of the Trump presidency was lying. We were importing more than we were exporting was the truth. every body but you was lying?? The covid virus is gone and the unemployment rate has gone way down which has lead to oil demand increase-hense higher oil prices?? NOT. Who is un-educated?aybe you should look at the unemployment rates or 1 million jobs while workers are not seeking employment.
