These twenty-five Biden administration policies are raising energy costs

Biden came into office and wanted to prove to the greenies he was all in on fighting big oil and all for alternative energy. Americans are paying for his recklessness.

Biden paused oil leases on public lands when he took office and halted drilling in part of Alaska. All the green new deal stuff is anti-oil. He stopped the Keystone pipeline XL pipeline project. He reversed Trump EO's and added burdensome regulations that cost oil and gas billions of dollars that are passed on the the consumer. He signaled to energy traders that less oil will be extracted now and in the future. Prices went up. And higher gas prices make electric cars look more affordable. Clearly he wanted higher gas prices. Then Ukraine happened and all of the above blew up in his face. Now he is back tracking trying to get more oil produced, drawing down the reserve, etc. But he can't get the Saudi's to budge. Russia is still selling their oil, just not to us.

That is not just some news story but a fact. We have had record gas prices this year. A year before that Biden makes it clear the oil industry is his advisory. You can't say Biden is not at the minimum partially responsible for our current situation. The case could be made that its mostly his fault.

Old Joe begged the Saudi's to not cut production until after the midterms.

On Wednesday State Department spokesman Ned Price refused to confirm reports the Biden administration had begged the Saudis to wait.

Joe I am Irish Biden may have refused to bow to the late Queen, however he's so desperate in relation to the midterms it seems he will bow, curtsy, beg and plead with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud.

Even though it hurts me every time I pull up to the gas pump, I'm glad they are giving Poopy Pants the middle finger. Poopy Pants thinks he can blow threatening hot air any direction he likes and the rest of the world will immediately be on their knees pleasuring him. It's their oil. If they don't want to do business with us, that is their choice, not Dumbo's.

Biden and the Dems domestic energy policies are also coming back to haunt him.

A vast resource rich country such as the US should not be having to beg and plead the Saudi's and OPEC.

So the Biden Administration makes some stuff up to justify their consequences ?

So SA picked Russia over the US and that's why they are cutting oil ?
They forgot "once upon a time...."

Biden has removed the incentive for oil companies to do business!!!!!!!!!

The existential hypocrisy is, Biden kills our energy independence in the name of GLOBAL climate change and encourages the drilling and transportation of dirty energy elsewhere. So how does that mitigate GLOBAL climate change? GLOBAL is a term lost to the left wing extremists, which demonstrates their goal is not to save the planet! their goal is the destruction of America and its reconstruction as a socialist mecca sans personal freedom.
It is interesting that the oil companies when asked do not cite Federal govt. as to why they didn't produce more oil.

Just conservatives online and on media sites.

The oiil companies don't share your feelings.

It gets better — TeamBiden is reduced to LIES about OPEC Members.

The Facts Are Simple’: White House Issues Scathing Statement In Response To Saudis - Daily Caller

The Saudi Foreign Ministry can try to spin or deflect, but the facts are simple,” John Kirby, the White House coordinator for strategic communications at the National Security Council, said.

Kirby repeated that the U.S. is “re-evaluating” its relationship with Saudi Arabia after the OPEC country’s decision to cut oil production by 2 million barrels a day, despite reported pleas from the U.S. to delay the reduction for at least one month.

He also claimed that “OPEC nations communicated to us privately that they also disagreed with the Saudi decision, but felt coerced to support Saudi’s direction,” and that the U.S. “presented Saudi Arabia with analysis to show that there was no market basis to cut production targets.”


It’s no surprise that Saudi Arabia and OPEC had a response to that fairytale.

We don’t use oil as a weapon’: Saudi Arabia hits back at US in OPEC+ cuts row - ArabNews


The ministry statement said the agreement between OPEC+ nations was unanimous and sought to balance supply and demand to help curb market volatility, adding that Saudi Arabia rejected any attempt to divert it from the goal of protecting the global economy from oil market fluctuations.

Saudi Arabia was supported by the Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Nayef Falah Al Hajraf.

A missive issued on his website said Al Hajraf “expressed full solidarity” with the Kingdom, adding that statements criticizing Saudi Arabia “lack facts”.


TeamBiden has been pretty upfront about the OPEC+ Decision. They have no problem with it EXCEPT for the Timing. They DEMAND that it be held until after the Mid-Term Election. OPEC+ says no, they don’t Politicize Oil Production …. Which Biden absolutely does.

They better be mindful of the Consequences of attacks on OPEC, because while these Know-Nothings think they can “punish” Saudi Arabia — the “FACT” is that OPEC is 23 Nations AND they do work with Unanimous Decisions. A good example of that was the Oil Embargo in the Carter Administration.

I keep thinking about Massachusetts, their lack of pipelines AND their total dependence on Mid-East OIL & LNG.
Cold winter if that gets cut off.

There’s Gonna Be Consequences’: National Security Official Says US Could Stop Saudi Weapons Sales Over OPEC Cut - Daily Caller

Talking Tough must be in the Leftist DNA.

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby threatened a potential halt of arms sales to Saudi Arabia during a Thursday appearance on Fox Business Network.

“We think that the Saudis acted, as chair of OPEC+, in a shortsighted manner here by cutting supply right when supply on the oil market is the predominant challenge that we are facing right now,” Kirby said.


THE “predominant challenge” that Kirby & TeamBiden is facing right now is the Mid-Term Election.

A normal person might think that these Leftists in Washington D.C. — particularly the National Security spokesman SHOULD have a clue about who exactly is “chair of OPEC”.

I know that, WHY doesn’t John Kirby? WHY does John Kirby go on National TV and broadcast his ignorance?

The OPEC Conference is the supreme authority of the organization, and consists of delegations normally headed by the oil ministers of member countries. The chief executive of the organization is the OPEC secretary general.

Haitham al-Ghais is a Kuwaiti oil executive who currently serves as the Secretary General of OPEC.
This is not exactly a secret to those that follow the Oil Business OR to those who read the WSJ.

Haitham al-Ghais
29th Secretary General of OPEC Incumbent
Assumed office 5 July 2022
Al-Ghais was unanimously appointed by representatives of OPEC member states on 1 January 2022.

The 1973-74 Oil Embargo against the United States was horrific — as a result of the Embargo, the USA established a Strategic Oil Reserve to ONLY be used in case of a National Security Emergency. TeamBiden has driven that Reserve to its lowest level since it was Established.

The National Emergency is the Mid-Term Election and the Energy Crisis TeamBiden has deliberately caused.
