    Smart, normal people understand redirecting our energy demands from oil to renewables is investing in the future of our energy demands, not “driving off a cliff”.

    Hilarious, Lisa! Thanks!

    BTW, Gerard O’Neil offered a true ‘renewables’ program to Congress back in the mid 70’s, but to no avail. If it ain’t woke, don’t do it…

    Loony Lisa shows off her lack of economic chops again, blaming Biden for the oil companies not wanting to drill and raking in record profits.

    I agree Rad-ish. I also will name them traitors (not Cheney or Kinzinger), seditionists, insurrectionists, anti-democracy, pro-autocracy, gullible, easily persuaded, true believers: “The quality of ideas seems to play a minor role in mass movement leadership. What counts is the arrogant gesture, the complete disregard of the opinion of others, the singlehanded defiance of the world.” ― Eric Hoffer, The True Believer

    Republicans have made sure that the domestic oil policy is to let a few large for profit companies, with little reason to compete, make large profits.

    U.S. crude oil imports from Russia more than doubled in 2021, rising to an average of 209,000 barrels per day from a daily average of roughly 76,000 per day barrels in 2020, according to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

    “Asia’s largest consumer of energy, China, is right next to Asia’s largest producer, Russia. They are building bridges to one another that could well imperil the free world.

    “We can beat Russia and other fossil fuel foes just by keeping the price of oil perpetually low.”

    Westerman, who said he supports an “all of the above” energy strategy that includes oil, gas, nuclear, solar, and wind, pointed out that greenhouse gas emissions fell during the Trump administration.

    “I don’t think Putin gives a rip about environmental goals, or anybody’s economy other than his own,” he said. – National Pulse

    China doesn’t give a rip either, what is the plan to get Russia and China on board to the “green myth” when we’ve effectively taken away any leverage we have?

    Diesel shortage, high gas prices, dependency on foreign oil, supplies scarce, empty shelves, 8% inflation while 40 billion goes to Ukraine to prolong the war and launder back to crooks like Joek, loss of our health sovereignty to China propagandist WHO, the implementation of a Ministry of Truth, a war on our southern border..

    All the makings of a plan to destroy a country.

    US Oil policies has failings, but they aren’t what Lisa thinks with her short term regressive thinking.

    The smartest policy regarding domestic oil production is to completely reduce the need for it at all. We were on the way in the 1970s but in 1981 that was derailed at the same time the solar panels were ripped from the top of the White House.

    What would you have him do differently? The opposition never seems to think it through. They just complain.

    Traitor Trump doesn’t drive, he’s an elite idiot.

    Remember him sitting in a truck cab pretending to drive? He looked like a happy 3 year old.

    Biden drives very well.

    This must be in reference to something. Too Zen for me.

    There is no technology yet that can produce the power of gasoline. It takes a certain amount of energy to power a vehicle and nothing is close to gasoline. We have hundreds of years of oil in the ground here in America now but you brainiacs think that other technologies are better. You have a lot to learn.
