food and shelter is all that we need so what do we need money in a bank for?
Biden have nothing to do with oils are up all he did because he took an order from Obama to prevent Trump open the US oils independently
we have oil reserves for this reason
nuclear is the only answer
Lmfao remember when we were energy independent just 3 years ago??
Salary for President
Solar and wind is far easier to ramp up than nuclear which takes years. Tesla has battery technology ready to rumble that could be invested in.
The weird thing I saw was that our crude oil stockpile skyrocketed this week. Which may have been due to the conflict in Ukraine and they wanted to pump out as much as possible. Or they knew this was coming and they are planning on selling excess since the world is in demand.
Man remember when we were energy independent. Putin got his gas line and here we are. Good job biden.
Free up west Texas to roar and they can drive prices down.
Nothing you can do sagar? Really. It was done it got jacked up
Not here
I just want to live in a fucking world that was better than my parents. God they were lucky
There will be plenty of buyers for Russian Oil. It's the buyers that are going to suffer more than the sellers.
Always remember venusuela has the largest oil reserves in the world but we sanction the hell out of them instead of working with them
This is part of the Great Reset. There are people in Biden administration that are totally on board with breaking America. They want a global government. Klaus shwab must be very happy today.
When gas goes to $10 thats when revolutions happen
The administration asked for increase production from OPEC so stop with the global warning increase of we do it here
We need that domestic oil in the short term. Sorry but there is no way around it.
We need to start building nuclear power plants NOW.
VIVA PUTIN, VIVA XI
Let’s Go Brandon and Brandeau
Price of gasoline is just 5$ here in Finland it is 8,5$
Sidenote: Russia and Saudi Arabia aren't the two largest oil producers. They are the largest oil exporters, but the US is the largest oil producer.
Biden killing the Keystone pipeline was merely the first of his dumb decisions, but it will be the most damaging to his political future.
Look at Thorium reactors! The tech is as mature as the Plutonium Uranium systems, is impossible to melt down, can be configured to use oldschool nuclear waste as fuel and many other benefits. The ONLY reason we use the dirty reactor tech is because it also makes weapons. Thorium reactors for peace…so you can see how fukt we are
Maybe people will finally stop calling me a racist when i say globalism is a terrible idea that only favors the rich, the poor are being crushed.
The best time to buy is when there's blood in the streets.
…sorry, Ukraine.
Yay. Thanks politicians for not making this nation energy dependent! thanks for the simps who keeps defending bad policies! Thanks for not being transparent!
Brandon – worst president. Carter – now second worst use to be first worst.
Can the USA hold out a year??? The USA economy is not so good. This mess started in 2014 with Russian under Obama.
The question is how long can Europe take not getting Russia's oil you know they can shut that off at any time I'm sure China would be glad to buy all that they can get and oil isn't just used for fuel and heat lot's of plastics are made with it. It's used as a lubricant for anything with moving parts and manufacturing raw materials none of these things can be done without oils
Saagar please look into thorium based nuclear reactors
You do realize that the oil comes from somewhere and is still burned. The climate doesn't really care if it came from the US or Russia or the middle east. The US can at least try to ensure minimal environmental impact when extracting it (whether or not they do, it's at least in our hands). We aren't beholden to anyone if we produce. And the pipeline absolutely helps on climate change because you are otherwise doing the shipping via diesel trucks. I firmly disagree with the statement that the US producing oil and natural gas has an impact on climate change. What has an impact is a change to the end-market. Not to the production location. The only thing that could slightly make your statement valid is if you suggest that $10/gallon gas would encourage folks to drive less and buy electric. However you can't hope for that and support working class people who are most impacted by that sort of change.
Does North Dakota still pump oil? … Keystone pipeline? NG in Pennsylvania?
My Specialized doesn't require gasoline, so I'm out of the loop on that, but the fuel I use, food, I've noticed become more expensive 😑
$3.60 in Albuquerque NM, the poorest state in the country.
Let's be clear, Sagaar and Krystal are going to be fine, there's no WE here. The majority of the viewers are going to be the ones that suffer, the 70% that live paycheck to paycheck, the ramifications of this war and inflation. If anarchy does start to break out, it'll be me and you fighting for the toilet paper. Krysta and Sagaar will be in a nice neighborhood paying a little bit more for things but still maintaining her lifestyle. It's getting to the point where food costs is legitimately unaffordable for me.
Putin is making billions on oil, bring oils below $50 per barrel he won’t make any money
What if the Biden and Putin administration are working together to tank the markets, so their billionaire friends can buy up all the cheap assets, then they plan to solve this diplomatically, with some bonus agreements that'll pump the market back up and they'll make out like bandits
Everyone wanting us to shut down our oil production- thanks, gullible chumps. I have watched the Saudis pay billions just in PR since the 1970s to convince Americans to go green and stop being energy independent. You can't just turn off your energy and hope technology will be forced to catch up to save you.
Breaking news: most American cities look like a war zone because the govt has been fighting an economic war against it's own citizens for decades.
Let's see if China steps up and helps out Russia in terms of goods and trade.
It's okay. The overlords who engineered this local spat shorted all the affected stocks and will make out like bandits. Ain't late stage capitalism grand?
File it under Trump is right. Orange man said energy independence is what we need leave the Paris pact
Yep,
It is ashame we killed our domestic oil production because "orange man bad" and the green people and killed our energy independence at the same time.
A bit of advice to our so called "leaders".
When you kill the ability to produce what you need in your country and give that production capability to enemy that is a bad thing.
By the way they will continue to pollute much worse than the USA does for the same production regardless of what they say.
Oil from USA to Russia and the middle east – stupid
Medical supplies, drugs, computer chips, etc. to China – stupid.
We need our country to be as independence from the world supply chain as possible.
The bright side.
Hopefully most people will FINALLY figure out how globalism screws us in the end and I believe after the next six months we will have a populus, nationalist government for a change. If not we are doomed as a country.
i mean stock market is just rich people's feelings so who cares amirite?
I'm pretty sure this war is just transitory
WW3 with globalization is an interesting combination.
"Yeah we get half our sh*t from our enemy. They do the same"
Yep
Doesn’t Russia have the majority of the fuel we would need for full scale expansion of nuclear?
This show is bullshit. Like anything else that’s ALLOWED to “get traction,” It’s just a new formula of controlled opposition running interference for the Shadow Planet Monarchs. Saagar is especially bot-like. His sole qualification is reading the teleprompter without letting his eyes move. Whoopie doo. Meanwhile despite his alleged “conservatism” he preaches Wokeness after all. Dig into his background and where he was educated and you may realize why. Hint: his full name is Saagar Enjeti. Additional hint: he’s a corrupt bag of shit who believes… his bank balance should have more zeroes. These two are so sloppy with sources and claims that calling their shillery “journalism” is downright insulting, and they’re about as “independent” as Hannity and O’Reilly.
