    Saudi Arabia cut production by 2 million a day.

    We need legislation that states all the oil taken from federal lands remains in America.

    We are the largest producer in the world.

    We need more than we produce.

    Sorry but we can't spare a drop....

    We sell oil mined from federal lands overseas.

    We produce the most oil. But we fall short of our needs.

    We need to reverse Trump error in legislation and ban over seas oil sales until our need is met first.

    Clear enough....

    @MrWhatsItToYa

     who's dumpy??  you mean Mr. President Poopy pants??  Hologram Joe??  

     you must be new around here.... I am not a Orange man, never supported nor never voted for the Donald.  I am an equal opportunity shit talker as I firmly believe you get what you deserve, which already happened to Trump and is currently happening to Poopy Pants.  

    I call it like it is, facts, common sense and no BS.... which is exactly why I love the Politics sub because you and the other 5 usernames that post here are completley full of dog doo doo and it is the funniest doo doo ever to come in here and see how wrong you all continue to be on EVERYTHING.  

    sheeple....head in the sand.... blind to the reality of the world you live in.  But have no fear, I am hear for YOU!  I only want to help educated the uNeDuMAcateD like I do third, kell & foops. (same person by the way).  But nonetheless, it is my duty to stay true to reality and I must continue my never ending quest to help these poor souls.  

    I will  do the same for you if you'd like, just follow along with me.... by the way, Kelly and Baisch have this awesome neighbor that is a financial wiz and they can give you all the market advice you will need to succeed in this inflationary bear market environment we currently live in (and have lived in since Jan.21 but shush, don't tell them an_wink)

     

    You will not survive here. You are not a wolf, and this is the land of wolves now...

     who's dumpy??  you mean Mr. President Poopy pants??  Hologram Joe??  

     you must be new around here.... I am not a Orange man, never supported nor never voted for the Donald.  I am an equal opportunity shit talker as I firmly believe you get what you deserve, which already happened to Trump and is currently happening to Poopy Pants.  

    I call it like it is, facts, common sense and no BS.... which is exactly why I love the Politics sub because you and the other 5 usernames that post here are completley full of dog doo doo and it is the funniest doo doo ever to come in here and see how wrong you all continue to be on EVERYTHING.  

    sheeple....head in the sand.... blind to the reality of the world you live in.  But have no fear, I am hear for YOU!  I only want to help educated the uNeDuMAcateD like I do third, kell & foops. (same person by the way).  But nonetheless, it is my duty to stay true to reality and I must continue my never ending quest to help these poor souls.  

    I will  do the same for you if you'd like, just follow along with me.... by the way, Kelly and Baisch have this awesome neighbor that is a financial wiz and they can give you all the market advice you will need to succeed in this inflationary bear market environment we currently live in (and have lived in since Jan.21 but shush, don't tell them an_wink)

    You ever get pricing for solar? (oh wait, third is a leftist bot) How'd that turn out? Does the sun  have direct sunshine in every part of the world? How do you store the solar energy? Is there enough wind to power all cities? How do you harness solar wind? 

    If it CAN be cheaper, why hasn't it completely taken over coal? Easy answer, it's not cheaper. Keep wishing.

    There's nothing wrong with wind and solar as a reducer to fossil fuels. Same with electric vehicles. (Except wind turbines ulgy as hell)

    To believe they can replace and end fossil fuels is delusional at best. 

    The same folks who lay on highways to stop traffic and glue themselves to walls worship climate change leaders who fly in private jets and own several energy sucking mansions. 

    Stupidity.

    Exactly.  Greed!

    Which is why it is extremely difficult for *ANY* US president to bring down inflationary oil prices at the pump.

     

    Of the two political parties, only one supports the greed of the private oil companies - which contributes  "bigly" to our inflation

    Energy information administration says costs of solar and wing electricity are already cheaper than coal power plants.  For solar, average cost of $0.03 to $0.06 per kilowatt compared to $0.05 to $0.17 for fossil fuels according to Renova.  Currently, 19% of US total electricity comes from renewable sources which is close to nuclear power's 20%.  United nations forecast that renewable energy could supply half of world total electricity by 2030.

    @fubah2

     Please stop talking about inflation.  You and Kelly only embarrass yourselves when you talk about big boy subjects like inflation, markets, geopolitics.  You have proven yourself ignorant of all of these topics over and over again.  I feel sorry for you.  Please stop.  Thanks Fupa.  

    You will not survive here. You are not a wolf, and this is the land of wolves now...

    We knew it was headed that way eventually but I was unaware this has now occurred.

    Good news!  Thanks for the info, Thirdperson thumbs_up
