Biden Taps Oil From Communist Dictatorship After Rejecting Cleaner Fuel From US Ally

The Biden administration on Sunday gave Chevron a new license to produce oil in Venezuela after the nation agreed to grant concessions to its people. However, President Joe Biden shut down the Keystone XL oil pipeline in January 2021, cutting off U.S. access to cleaner and more reliable Canadian fuel, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Treasury Department gave Chevron a six-month license to pump oil alongside state-owned oil company Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) after Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro agreed to negotiate talks with his opposition to hold “free and fair elections.” However, just hours into his presidency, Biden revoked the permitting for the Keystone XL project to mitigate the “climate crisis,” even though the U.S. could have received at least 630,000 more barrels per day of cleaner Canadian oil via the canceled pipeline, experts told the DCNF.

“In terms of the overall carbon footprint from well to wheels, Venezuelan oil is much more carbon-intensive than Canadian oil which comes from bitumen sands,” Institute For Energy Research Senior Vice President Dan Kish told the DCNF.…

What the energy news reporter reports here is truly disgusting. It is so typical of the Biden regime to side with communists and big polluters over our own allies with more reliable and cleaner energy. The contrast between Canada and Venezuela are stunning and it’s no surprise which one the Biden regime sides with.

 

There is no greater enemy according to let’s go Brandon on this earth than other Americans who produce or invest in coal, gas, and oil.

 

Pumping oil that wasn't going to be in the market otherwise, is going to be much better for prices than buying oil that was already going to be on the market.

Are you concerned about the environment?

 

The faster they can kill off the oil and gas industry, the faster they can eliminate the Middle Class and turn American into a cess pool they control. It's by design.

 

No pipeline means cutting off access? So will there be a pipeline from Venezuela?

 

Did you read the article?

 

Without a doubt all that you said I’d exactly right.

 

No. Ever heard of diesel powered oil tankers?

 

Got it, so you can have access to oil even if there isn’t a pipeline. Imagine that!

 

Your argument seems flawed. Not having a Keystone pipeline does not mean the oil is not coming down from Canada. It still is.

 

LOL, he or she walked right into that one.

 

I guess the entire point of purchasing oil from Venezuela versus Canada and refining it ourselves without needing to use diesel burning dirty exhaust creating transport escaped the both of you...lol. "muh environment!"

 

So I guess Biden isn't an enemy of fossil fuels, huh?

 

I

yes, we can use diesel trucks and trains with tanker cars to move the oil through urban centers and on interstate freeways to the refineries rather than push it mostly carbon free through a pipeline. We are getting some oil from Canada by Truck and train even now.

 

It is. In the most carbon heavy means possible. In tanker cars behind diesel trucks or trains. And you think that’s better? The same with tanker ships coming from Venezuela. Not only is the Venezuela oil dirtier than the Canadian, it has to be shipped by dirty tankers while the Canadian oil could’ve been transported much more cleanly.

 

Just the ones produced in North America

 

When did rightists stop supporting capitalism and corporations rights?

 

Why’s it matter how it moves? It’s not like we aren’t paying market prices no matter where it came from. That Canadian oil wasn’t ours and it sure wasn’t gonna be free.

 

I thought you guys were all concerned about carbon footprints?

So just eliminate the safest most efficient way to transport it?

 

Long term strategy is to use up our enemies natural resources before we use ours and our allies. The important part is that we refine it here so that we have the majority of the infrastructure to switch to our resources in a pinch.

Our oil resources will be extremely valuable in 50 years. Your kids will thank Biden.

 

Lol so you envision we’d just keep what came out of the pipeline?

 

What “middle class”?

 

China is not communist, which is totalitarianism. The ruling party claims to be communist, but the country has a considerable capitalist economy combined with state run enterprises. It's a mixed economy, often referred to as a Socialist Market economy AKA 'state capitalism', but of course, it's very authoritarian, nevertheless.

You could call it a dictatorship, but Xi isn't like Trump or Hitler, or even Mussolini, he doesn't appear to act like a demagogue, typical of dictatorship. However, like a dictatorship, they don't appear to have rights like we have in the US and liberal democracies, such as there isn't free speech, or at least one cannot criticize the government.

 

What does that have to do with transporting it?

 

Seriously, stop this nonsense. It's communistic. It has 1 political party, and they vote for it's leader. The entire economy is planned since key factors in that industry are state owned. Just because there are some parts that is more capitalist, doesn't make any kind of difference at the bottom line. The US itself also got some fancy "communistic" themes in it, like food stamps and other actually rather massive subsidies to private companies. And that's not even considering the insanely massive bailouts the US made during the mortgage crisis and the corona crisis. And even though this aid is just massively communistic in nature, it doesn't turn the US to a communistic country. The base remains to be a capitalistic society. There simply is no such thing as 100% capitalistic, while you discovered there is also no 100% communistic. Big whoop.

A 100% communistic society would mean the government would own the shop of a local bakery where 1 person works, who bakes bread because the government wants it to be, and gets paid by the government, and doesn't need to buy ingredients for baking bread... since he's being provided by other fully state owned companies.

While an communistic government doesn't care it has no control of the bakery. Controlling massive farms (the big picture) is good enough. And when they control that, it also has enough control over the bakeries through them being totally dependent on the government.
