You’re currently watching the United States get out smarted by Vladimir Putin. China will by all tbe oil that guy can pump. And we’ll continue to slit the throats of the American middle class in the name of “ sticking it to him”I feel for Ukranian people and what Putin is doing to them is criminal. I see that people are focusing on Ukraine heartbreak which I feel too. The only problem is so many think that the fuel price is ok because we are supporting those people. Then they want to shame me if I say the fuel price is Bidens fault. They fell right into this mindset when in reality it could have been different if the correct course would have been kept in place.
$8 will be the new normal. The poor people who support this administration just got what they asked for. The rich people don't mind at all.
When gas went over $2 a gallon I said we would never see $1 a gallon again, then it went over 3 and everybody was so happy when it dropped back down into the 2 range. They make it hurt so bad that when they reduce to even a high price everybody is happy and seems to settle. Now if it goes over 5 and 6 dollars a gallon for a while will we be happy and settle when they drop it down in the high 3 dollar range. They know what they are doing, as always follow the money.Yup. This was a first for me. What in the actual flying $%#& Brandon.

World economy. Kinda like what happens to a mom and pop store when a new Walmart hits town. Except china id Walmart and we are a 400 lb single mom of four standing in line with our food stamps. How embarrassed our grandfathers would be…Why haven’t we or even the World punished China yet? After all they killed over a million U.S. civilians and millions of people around the World with their release of Covid! Like always follow the money…
Obviously you don't know how much oil we import...You’re currently watching the United States get out smarted by Vladimir Putin. China will by all tbe oil that guy can pump. And we’ll continue to slit the throats of the American middle class in the name of “ sticking it to him”

We buy Russian oil and sell weapons to Ukraine, we are kind of funding both sides of this war. What we should be doing is selling fleets of Prii (plural for Prius) to Ukraine so they can fight the Russians and save a few bucks at the same time. They could mount their .50 calibers on top of the Prius like the Taliban does on Toyotas. Plus they will be able to sneak up on the enemy seeing how quiet those cars are. Might need a squad of battery reinforcement but we can cross that bridge when we get there. What do you think?Obviously you don't know how much oil we import...
US is the world's number 1 oil producer.. how ever we exceed our capacity so we need to import about 3 million barrels a day to meet our needs..
You worried about 7 or 8 bucks a gallon for fuel by a Prius.

It will be two years next week since my Durango hasI paid $4.75 for diesel today. Almost a dollar higher than the last time I got fuel 3 weeks ago.
Pilot here in Eastern NM is $3.99 right now. That won’t last long.Gas was $4.59 at Fry's (Kroeger) in Phx. yesterday. With her points, my wife paid $4.39 per to fill her Elantra.
As of now, still 3 of them...Pilot here in Eastern NM is $3.99 right now. That won’t last long.

The largest lithium mine is in the startup phase right here in the US. I believe it’s projected to burn around 28k gallons of diesel per day When it hits stridePhone batteries, car batteries and most every system with batteries uses Lithium. When Slippery Joe says US will have 80 % Electric car batteries by 2030 it is a very stupid thing to say. We buy Lithium from Africa and South America but China owns the mining rights. Not good in any way.

Diesel was $4.79 at the 7/11 where I was filling up and $5.59 right across the street at Chevron. By this afternoon, the 7/11 manager probably bumped his up to $5.59 to join in the pillaging.

There's a reason that Warren Buffett just made Occidental Petroleum nearly 10%-owned by Berkshire Hathaway just last week with a $5 Billion investment.
The energy companies are screwing us, not unlike the pharmaceutical companies do. They have an inelastic product that we can't live without so they can charge virtually whatever they want with no incentive to lower the price or be competitive with each other.
I don't have the answer, but I feel we need energy independence both from foreign countries as well as from the oil companies. The only way to keep them honest is if we had somewhere else to go. I'd love to be able to go electric for my vehicle, the technology just isn't there yet.
This sums up the thought process of the left. Just like they want to hurt Putin by shutting down his pipeline and stop other countries from buy oil from him......so what they are saying is that shutting down pipelines hurts an economy? Hmmmmcool the higher it goes the more my energy stocks gain.

Public Land drilling was actually very low under Trump; more drilling permits were issued the first year of Biden than the first year of Trump by 35%. Also, more permits were issued last year than each of the first three years of Trump. That proves they don't drill or not-drill based on who's in charge, they do it based on economic factors.Would you sink billions into a drilling operation in this country? With this regime in charge? I wouldn't.
20+ years in O&G on the development side in the Permian Basin. Right now, there is a 9 month backlog on getting casing from reputable mills. Drilling rig prices are up 20% or more since last year and finding a hot rig is very tough in this market. Lots of folks with permits in hand, but no means of transportation for product as there are no large pipeline projects in the works and several of the larger gatherers are at capacity. Even at the inflated current commodity prices, all service/material costs are climbing right there with the oil price. Most of the local sand mines are sold out for the year and that proppant is priced 3-5x what it was in the 4th qtr last year.Public Land drilling was actually very low under Trump; more drilling permits were issued the first year of Biden than the first year of Trump by 35%.

I don't say this to get political, I bring it up to say we SHOULDN'T be political about this, so please don't turn this into a political discussion as it's clear Founder doesn't want it here.
During the two years of the pandemic our worldwide consumption fell and now we don't have enough oil being pumped to keep up... just like with everything else. The oil companies are using geopolitical strife to justify jacking up the prices, they'll make a killing while we get screwed.

There are many more factors involved than just getting a permit to drill. UnderTrump oil and gas producers applied for more than 10,000 permits to drill for oil and gas on federal land here in New Mexico. Getting a permit is just a step in the process it doesn’t mean there is even oil in that permitted ground to retrieve. What I do know for certain is that under the 4 years of Trump here in New Mexico we were booming! There were “Now Hiring” signs everywhere, there was not enough housing in areas like Carlsbad, the construction industry was making money hand over fist along with the RV industry and you couldn’t find a single unoccupied room in any of the hotels, RV parks were at capacity, restaurants and grocery stores were packed, car dealerships were booming and adding lift kits and such to the trucks these young men like to drive and show off. McDonalds was offering $20 an hour in an attempt to get people to come work for them but you could make more money in the oil fields. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad were running trains 24/7 and hiring hundreds of people for high paying engineer and conductor and maintenance jobs. This place was booming, the money was flowing and people were happy. Not anymore, all the aforementioned doesn’t exist here now. Thousands of people have been laid off. Sad but true. Political?

Hey hey now......NM might be different....There is no AT&SF and hasn’t been for 25 years.
Half correct.There is no AT&SF and hasn’t been for 25 years.
It has been BNSF for a while now. ATSF was a totally different entity that is history. Warren saw to that.Half correct.
Not sure how accurate it is, but...It has been BNSF for a while now. ATSF was a totally different entity that is history. Warren saw to that.
not supposed to notice that either. just keep taking Grissly's word for it. waaaaaaayyyy more access to oil drilling now then everLast tread was toast before I could post this. But production of oil trumps ( ? ) permits any day.

Whoops, 26 years.Not sure how accurate it is, but...
"On September 22, 1995, AT&SF merged with Burlington Northern Railroad to form the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway (BNSF). Some of the challenges resulting from the joining of the two companies included the establishment of a common dispatching system, the unionization of AT&SF's non-union dispatchers, and incorporating AT&SF's train identification codes throughout. The two lines maintained separate operations until December 31, 1996, when it officially became BNSF."

It’s BNSF actually still known as the Santa Fe railroad here. I was thinking of the old days. Thanks for catching that.There is no AT&SF and hasn’t been for 25 years.

Please explain to me how trumpy increased oil production. I doubt he’s ever even pumped his own gas. Probably because his hands are so small.?

US Oil Production plummeted more than 3M bpd by May 2020, we all know who was in the WH then. Let me guess, when it goes up it's because of president, when it goes down it's because of outside pressures. Unless it goes down when a Democrat is in office, then it's because of the president again.
It's clear that some people here aren't interested in understanding what's going on, they're "True Believers" and think something as huge and complicated as world commodity markets and macroeconomics can be simplified to a D or an R.
Those that are interested in truth and nuance may find this interesting.

You should talk with some of the brown water Navy guys who served near him.And we got the vaccine because we thought the government cared about us.
I think about all the good men who died in Vietnam, and Kerry didn't. SMH
Here's another take that reaches a similar conclusion...Pretty much what I already stated.
Maybe it’s because people actually believe in what a President says, when Biden said he was going to close down the oil industry people took him at his word.Let's zoom in on the last two decades...
