    Biden's war on American Energy Production is funding Putin's Ukraine Invasion.

    Under Biden the US is importing 8.5 million Barrels Per Day of crude oil from all countries.
    • Canada was our top supplier, sending the U.S. 4.5 million BPD. (Having secure oil supplies from close allies highlights why the Keystone XL Pipeline expansion was important).
    • Mexico was second, at 700,000 BPD, and then
    • Russia at 595,000 BPD.
    • Saudi Arabia was our 4th largest supplier at 555,000 BPD.
    Now that Biden has driven oil up to $100/barrel, he is putting $60,000,000 a day right into Putin's pocket. It looks like the Russian Oligarchs got far more for the money they shoved into the Biden Family pockets than the Ukrainian Oligarchs did.

    LMAO

    U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty in Louisiana struck down Biden’s Jan. 27, 2021, executive order in June, dealing a major blow to the president’s plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. The decision by Doughty, a Trump appointee, highlights the challenge in curbing fossil fuel production when current law directs the government to auction off federal land and many states rely on royalty revenue. The authority to suspend oil and gas leasing lies “solely with Congress,” Doughty wrote.

    Biden officials said they could be held in contempt if they didn’t resume leasing.

    The only person that thinks you are knocking them back, is you. Everybody else clearly sees you can't defend it, so you deflect.

    FYI

    Biden administration says will resume plans for federal oil and gas development

    SNIP
    The Biden administration on Friday said it would resume plans for oil and gas development on federal lands following a court ruling this week that temporarily restored a measure meant to factor the cost of global warming into federal decision-making.

    The announcement comes a month after the Interior Department said it would delay upcoming federal oil and gas lease sales because a Louisiana federal court judge blocked the administration from using its "social cost of carbon" value to factor the risks of climate change into decisions on permitting, investment and regulatory issues.

    Earlier this week, a federal appeals court allowed the government to continue, temporarily, using the value.

    "With this ruling, the department continues its planning for responsible oil and gas development on America’s public lands and waters," Interior spokesperson Melissa Schwartz said in an emailed statement. She declined to say if the administration would resume oil and gas leasing auctions in the near term.
