Are you actually saying there has been no new drilling under the Biden administration? 4 minutes ago, cle23 said: This isn't entirely true either. We are replacing COVID jobs in there too, not just creating jobs. There is a difference.

The business they are in takes years from exploration to drilling to refining to sales. Five years at least. The companies that continued to produce, in spite of the Biden nonsense, benefitted from him participating in making their already existing investments and ultimate production worth much more money than otherwise, coincident with western Europe making itself, through stupid decisions, more reliant on now unreliable Russian sources.

They have been hesitant to move aggressively to expand production — as President Biden urged them to do when supplies were pinched — or take meaningful steps to build profitability around cleaner fuels. That restraint could mean tighter markets and higher prices unless there is a serious recession.

As i have said in prior posts - in the economy prior to Biden taking office i made more money than i have ever made in my life yet there are those like you that said it was bad because as we have all realized that's just what you do !!! And even though i can & have admitted in past posts that my vote was for the lessor of 2 evils. I didn't agree with a lot of ways & different things that Trump did & never was behind him 100% yet you have & will follow Joe off the edge of the cliff & will NEVER admit any short comings believing the fool that is now the POTUS as one of the best . And like you have with this post pump Joe up every chance you get with only 1 top motivation in mind & that is to dis anything & everything Trump !! How much do you get paid for this ???? Free food stamps, Health care, maybe gov't housing ... I know its the Obama phone to go along with your "Free internet" that's it isn't it ??
