If only he had the common sense to remove the shackles he’s placed on American oil producers.
The primary beneficiary of the environmental movement is neither the bald eagle nor the killer whale but the Russian predator.
When environmentalists suppress the U.S. energy supply, they do not curb the world’s energy demand. So, our competitors, not constrained by political pressure groups, benefit. This holds especially true of Russia, the world’s largest natural gas exporter and second largest exporter of oil. Russia produces about 11 million barrels of oil every day. They consume under four million barrels of oil every day. That surplus fuels their economy before it fuels anything else.
“Crude oil and natural gas revenue comprised approximately 43%, on average, of the government’s total annual revenue between 2011 and 2020,” the U.S. Energy Information Administration informs. “This includes export and tax revenue that the government collected from oil and gas production and sales.”
In other words, the petroleum bought by the West pays for the cluster bombs, the Iskander missiles, T-90s, and AK-12s used to subjugate Ukraine.
Everyone worries about their Guns the Weather and the price of gas. Gas has always been underpriced and subsidized. Consider the source and supply chain and the refinement. Gas should cost as much as a gallon of milk or cheap Liquour. It’s always amazed me people’s obsession with gas prices. It’s no measure of anything but seems to threaten many. Maybe get a practical vehicle……..but NO cars and mobility are American Freedoms. Buses are for Rosa Parks. We are about to see a big change in just how we live the DREAM or lack thereof.
