One more day

Oh jfc from what? How has your freedoms been taken away from you in the last two years? My god you’re a drama queen.
You think you’re going to be more free the next two years? Even if the pubs won both houses, prepare for revenge show trials and impeachments. Nothing is actually going to get done, especially with a divided government.
I believe that the revenge trials and impeachments were the Dems dirty little tricks against the last Administration.

Hopefully, Biden can be convinced that if he wants anything passed, he needs to open drilling and pipelines for the oil companies. On the bright side, if we control both houses of Congress, we'll be FREE of any more ridiculously expensive and useless Green spending bills.

Do you not understand what happened to the production facilities during the pandemic? You think that there can be a finger snap and it's right back to exactly where it was? We're damn close to were it was and the data hardly shows a "loss of energy freedom" or whatever ridiculous thing BSIT posted.

LOL....the oil industry has been out of the pandemic Biden's last 15 months. I did not use any data in Biden's first 5 months just for that reason.
You are making excuses, your data shows we are down nearly 7%.

This does not include what we could be getting via pipeline if finished by now(likely), which he shut down.
 
lol. Domestic energy production freedom? Is that the loss of freedom you were referring to in your original post? Not quite. It’s not even true. The topic has been beat to death here. The government doesn’t dictate how much oil is produced. Do you understand that? Yet another BS argument that gets shot down and then is brought up again and portrayed as fact a month later like nothing happened.

What real freedoms were taken away? For freaking once in your life stay on the topic YOU started.
Of course the Government can control how much oil can be produced. They control leases, permits and the EPA can nickel & dime Oil companies to death with petty regulations. They all cost time and money. Biden's Administration has also discouraged Banks from lending money to the oil companies and it's expensive to dig new wells.
 
Numbers are still far below pre-pandemic. 500K to 1.5M a month. Current administration is 100% against oil and gas.
Biden's also depleted over half the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which is going to have to be replaced. That's a lot of oil that needs to be extracted from the ground that will NOT be available for refining. I guess trying to save the Dems asses in the Midterms qualifies as a Strategic Emergency. All that oil wasted for no tangible benefit for Biden. It sounds like one of his normal plans.

Your last point is very correct. A lot of the exploration and drilling is done by smaller firms who need initial capital investment. The administration and groups have been very forceful to not have financial instructions invest or loan miner for fossil fuel efforts. Therefore we are not seeing the same activity we did 4 years ago.

And do you think companies who do have money will go all in on investing on future projects when there’s uncertainty from the government who has declared war on their industry
 
Your wife is a smart woman. Congrats!
The only funny part about Biden and his energy mistakes is that
A) He's still lining Putin's pockets and helping fund the war in Ukraine by purchasing Russian oil (as well as having sent over $1B to Ukraine...Yeh, that makes sense).
and
B) He went to the Middle East and begged the OPEC countries not to constrain output (they told him to go pound sand....pun intended).
What's really funny about Biden's negotiations in the Mideast was that OPEC was initially going to cut production by a million barrels a day and Biden asked them to wait until November to cut production. Apparently Joe had pissed the Saudis off so much that not only did they NOT delay the cut, but they doubled it to 2 million barrels a day. Our fearless leader...

Did you not hear Biden say, "NO MORE DRILLING!". He wasn't talking to the dentists in the country.
That's a pretty unambiguous statement.

That's why we haven't had a new refinery built, since the 1970's. That's a huge capital investment, which isn't going to be made, if government is trying to subvert your industry.

Freedom from Bidenflation (soon)
Freedom from Biden shutting down coal plants
Freedom to buy gas at a cheaper price.(soon)
Freedom to prevent a president from bailing out college debt
Freedom from runaway budgets

Freedom from the progressive left.

LOL, You do realize the Republicans can put a halt to the stupid policies and will control the purse strings? For starters our current energy policy has taken away our domestic energy production freedom away.
Exactly how? No bill is law without a Presidents signature. There isn’t a veto proof Congress
 
This thread (in a certain way) discussed issues for voters. But the reason things didn’t go well for the Republicans is because of one issue; they nominated way too many candidates who worshipped Donald Trump.

Trump’s actual election night quote? “Well, I think if they win, I should get all the credit. If they lose, I should not be blamed at all."

People prefer conservative policies, but they sure as hell don’t want to support a treasonous ex-President’s flunkies.
  • Everything Trump touches turns to shit
  • Mitch McConnell, as he often is, was spot on
  • Thank God for Ron DeSantis, who has enough spine to shun that anti-democracy, can’t even beat Joe Biden, blithering idiot.

Not a Trump fan .....But in very limited situations like NV, PA, AZ abortion exit polled as a bigger issue than it appeared initially in pre-election polls. That was enough to help part of the D senate candidates win, or at least be ahead right now.

So give BNI props for saying that issue would be important. In those limited situations it was.

Secondly, traitor McConnell did NOT support the Trump candidates with his PAC $. That $ was huge in those races with JD Vance being the only one, so far, to overcome it

Thus, the lack of $ & exit polling shows Trump "flunkies" was not the real reason you are saying.

One exception.....Georgia could be evidence of what you are saying.....with Kemp winning big.

Still, Trump has no future in politics imo and will hopefully lose again ....this time in the R primary, hopefully to Florida's Gov.

It’s a campaign speech. He’s telling his base what they want to hear.

The reality is he needs more oil production, and his administration has approved over 7000 new permits, and he’s practically begging people to drill for oil. And oil production has steadily rose under his administration. If that trend holds over the next year, oil production under Biden will be more than any President in history.

Fair point and well explained, but in many, many places like Ohio, GA, NH a Trump sponsored candidate was severely outperformed by a non-Trump, actual conservative R, and I’m not seeing a single state where a conservative R who wasn’t up Trump’s ass was outperformed by a Trump election denier.

Chevron CEO Mike Wirth in an enlightening interview on Bloomberg from 5 months ago...

Direct quote in response to a question asking if a snap of the fingers could lead to increased production?

"The decisions that leads to today's activities were made TWO YEARS AGO" (during the pandemic)... BEFORE Biden was POTUS...

Key point is when he starts around 6:30 talking about refining investment of over $1B along with uncertainty in policy. Attached is an interesting article discussing the Biden Administration's policy that is impacting the oil basin mentioned in the interview

I’m sure Bottom of his Class Joe has a handle on all this. Don’t worry.

One Hundred … one thousand Eleventy Trillion Schmillion Barrels on the way!
