Lol global warming

The USA is part of the global oil market. We don't dictate pricing. Pick up a newspaper. Production is expected to break the record in 2023. You can't be this uninformed.
We were oil independent during the Trump Presidency, we needed ZERO oil from the outside world. Biden has put us at tremendous risk.
 
You would think that Covid would have reinforced that you cannot stop a global issue locally. But no, let’s double down. Go tell developing countries to get off oil
 
Staying away from this thread to avoid catching the stupid aids. Jesus people are dumb.
You see these embarrassing comments all the time on local forecast posts and usually they have a stupid red hat on in profile.

What is your definition of this phrase?
1. American oil companies produce X barrels for sale on largely US enforced/protected global market
2. Americans consume less than X barrels at global market price P (price P subject to wild fluctuations in global market and doesn't include fluctuations in the prices of delivering a barrel to a final product)

The strictest possible market discipline for consumers and having taxpayers pay for the enforcement apparatuses to make the market possible for oil companies. This is independence.
 
In November 2019, the United States exported 772,000 barrels per day (b/d) more petroleum (crude oil and petroleum products) than it imported, marking the third consecutive month in which the United States was a net petroleum exporter.

Still do even under your definition.

Thanks Brandon!

The resulting total net petroleum imports (imports minus exports) were about -1.26 million b/d, which means that the United States was a net petroleum exporter of 1.26 million b/d in 2022.

So just being a net exporter?

I care about our country doing suicidal things that will hurt our future.
Well then, maybe you should consider the repercussions of your boys’ actions. Taking away NEPA, effectively emasculating the EPA. Going to battle with Disney, potentially causing economic collapse in FL. Fracking, the list goes on.

Are you even aware of the pipeline issues? The contract reads that the Canadian company is responsible for cleanup of oil spills, not synthetic oil spills. The oil is synthetic ergo, the company is not responsible if it ruptures in Oklahoma. The dems and one, only one Republican were onto that issue.

We have enough oil and natural gas in the ground to last 400 years. If we open up drilling like it should be and allow pipelines and new refineries to be built we would need to import 0 when it's all said and done.

Drill Baby Drill

Your Sarah Palin impression didn't answer my question. I'm starting to think you're talking out of you @ss here.
 
So what did the humans that were here do to cause the ice age to begin? What did the few humans that were left do that caused the earth to warm up over time to cause the ice age to end? My attempt at a point with this....is I'm not sure how much of an impact we as humans can have on the climate changing.
We are the cause of the warming. Period. Absent human activity, the planet would be slowly cooling right now. Your "attempt at a point" was a fail.
 
It blows my mind they're humans dumb enough that think is a gotcha.....yes, humans are this stupid

Sorry, haven't changed out all my light bulbs to whatever crap they are supposed to be...it's my fault...that and I still use gas powered lawn/gardening equipment....that's prolly worth a billionth of a degree of change every 700-800 million years..

I know "climate change" is real...I just don't think there is alot that us common folk here in the US can do to make a major impact...The earth went through an ice age....and came out of it...how many humans contributed to the beginning and end of the Ice age?
Humans weren't burning fossil fuels in the Ice Age, Einstein.
 

On balance, most of what he says is accurate/correct.

But it's really not a very good/clear talk on the topic here.

And he completely misses the ball on the fossil fuel industry's real issues: Stranded Assets.
That is WHY they want to delay the inevitable.

And with revenue-neutral carbon taxes, you want to push that $$ into accelerating the renewables, so people get cheaper subsidized renewable energy using that tax. NOT just "reducing sales taxes, VAT, etc".

His attempts to convey ideas on the changes in temperature are rather watered down - there are much better speakers on this topic. But, again, not terribly inaccurate here.
