I'm confused by how Biden can guarantee Europe heating fuels should Russia cut off supplies.
He took the USA from being a fuel exporting country to being an importing one in less than one year.
Where will these promised new supplies be coming from ?
Our emergency fuel reserves ?

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

It’s the dismantling of America before your very eyes.

Pretty sure the Europeans know this too. Any saber rattling by Biden is just for show. In the end Ukraine is going to either be carved up or a new government beholden to Moscow will be installed. Or both.

He’s assuming the world has dementia like he does and will forget every empty lie he’s told…

Biden and company were giddy as they declared war on US energy production. The fools could not see how energy independence is a big part of peace thru strength

Just like all the money injected into the ports to fix the ship problems..have you looked at all the shops waiting to port still in California?
Big problems don't get fixed overnight. All the experts have said the ports will take time to get caught up. Omicron has just piled on to that problem.

If Biden really wanted to help decrease fuel prices, he should be spending his time having the Jones Act abolished.
The Jones Act ( 1920 ) requires that only US ships move cargo between US Ports.
The US has no LNG ships, they are all foreign flagged vessels.
So cheap LNG on the Gulf Coast is not available to other parts of the US , instead they have to buy their supplies from the World Markets.

Why no US LNG ships?? Must be no money in it?

Scuttlebutt is that the administration is quietly easing restrictions on leases on federal lands to increase domestic production.

In 2021 the US Department of Energy issued 4881 onshore drilling permits compared to 4631 in 2020. US Department of Energy now has more than 9,000 approved on shore and off shore drilling permits there for the taking.
So why do they still sit there? Oil that isn't cheap to get at and the current price isn't high enough.

Scott Sheffield make something abundantly clear a few weeks ago on CNBC. He pointed to the fact that the industry has undergone 3 price collapses in the past 11 years with the worst being 2 years ago when crude oil went to NEGATIVE 35 bucks barrel . He went on to explain that these price collapses will never be allowed happen again . Their sole focus now is to restore and preserve stakeholder equity.

Problem with you free market capitalists is that you're all fair weather free market capitalists. As long as free market supply and demand forces are tipped in your favor, capitalism is the greatest thing in the world....but not so much when they don't and there's no guarantee that they will always be in your favor.

Lol. Policy decisions mess up the free market, so clearly the free market is to blame. Smh.

Wrong. Nothing to do in this case with domestic policy. The industry has had enough with violent swings in oil prices. They have learned to discipline themselves in their own interest and the interest of their stakeholders. After drilling for oil for more than a hundred years the cheaply recovered oil is gone. What is there is costlier to get. Helps to explain the move to renewables with the hope that true energy independence can be attained without having to worry about whether an increasingly expensive hole drilled in the ground will yield .
