View Full Version : High Gas Prices Got You Down?
Never fear, we are emptying our Strategic Petroleum Reserve of our emergency oil.....and shipping it to Asia, to help them with their high gas prices! Heartwarming how we sacrifice to help others!

U.S. Is Already Exporting Oil From Strategic Reserve at Record Pace

(Bloomberg) -- If the Biden Administration decides to tap U.S. emergency crude reserves to push down domestic energy prices, it may not help all that much. The supplies may just be exported away like last month.
About 1.6 million barrels of crude from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve -- a monthly record -- was shipped out in October, according to data from market intelligence firm Kpler. Three cargoes were loaded onto a supertanker in the U.S. Gulf Coast and are headed to Asia.
“Given the ongoing pace of the current SPR release -- 12 million barrels in the last two months and the biggest weekly release so far last week at 3.1 million barrels -- it’s fair to assume more SPR barrels are going to leave U.S. shores in the weeks ahead,” said Matt Smith, an oil analyst at Kpler.
The White House has been mulling a range of options to ease soaring pump prices and Democrats are pressing for a potential ban on oil exports as well as the release of crude from the nation’s strategic reserves.

Any thoughts on this, Jeff '79? Lakota? I mean, I'm stoked to be paying over $ 140 to fill up my diesel 4x4.

Obama's Moratorium:
Lots of people lost their jobs.
Local commerce dwindled to nothing.
Bankruptcy, repossessions, foreclosures were direct results of the oilfield shutdowns.
Energy costs nationwide increased because Natural Gas is derived from same oil fields.
Local oil patch services and vendors closed.
Some people had to resort to drinking Natural Light.

Let's see, open up the pipelines, complete Keystone, open up and encourage drilling. Yeah, that was real fricking hard to come up with. Tar & feather the lot of them and send them packing!

Biden ran on doing just what he did, and these results are just what was intended. We're going to save the planet by consuming less energy in the West, while China, India, Russia, and the 3rd World use MORE energy. And in order to get Americans to use less energy, you've got to price them out of the energy market, and start forcing them to decide between not freezing to death, and eating.
Everything is going pretty well so far, as people in the US consume less.
This is equity, inclusion, and diversity.....lowering America's standard of living down closer to the standard of living in the 3rd World.
Instead of a rising US lifting all boats, we're watching a declining US, which is what the regime wants.....all we have to do is sink faster than the rest of the world, and it's a win.

Announced that the US will release 50 million barrels in coordination with other major energy consuming nations, including China, India, and the United Kingdom. Aka we're sending our oil again to other countries. Article very careful to NOT specify where by he oil is being used... Lying pricks in govt/media as usual.

"High Gas Prices Got You Down?" Not yet I can afford more if it has to be.
Higher gas prices do have a silver lining at times. It tends to keep some of the local fools off the road so driving is better.
I live on a large lake and many people that have camps live at a distances, that tends to keep them home instead of coming up here.
A lot of those "flatlanders" come from NY city, NJ and Connecticut are buying up everything in sight and are leftist/progressive assholes. Not having to put up with them helps make the higher gas cost much better!:hurray:

The 9/10ths is actually a federal gas tax that dates back to when gas was just pennies per gallon and that 9/10ths was a sizeable amount of revenue..err...tax for the government.

1. Stop domestic production.
2. Send our strategic reserves to other countries
3. Release strategic reserves in the US
4. ???
5. Deplete strategic reserves
6. Electric cars for everyone, since there is no oil!

Doesn't much matter where it goes since the U.S. uses 20 million barrels/day. So, Glorious Leader is releasing a 2.5 day supply and expecting gas prices to go way down. And people actually believe that. :spdchk:
The total to be released by the coalition of countries is 100 million barrels, or a five day supply for the U.S. Yeah, that'll help big time. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Pretty sure Biden commented recently that he could release oil from the reserves, but it would only drop gas prices 18 cents.
Not sure where he pulled that number from. :crazy:
well that was easy to find...
from once month ago
“I must tell you, I don’t have a near-term answer,” Biden added before musing on the possibility that he could “go in the [Strategic] Petroleum Reserve and take out and probably reduce the price of gas maybe 18 cents or so per gallon, [but] it’s still gonna be above three bucks.”
totally worth it, and no ulterior motive.

The dolt released the strategic oil supply, all three days of USA consumption, and send 1/3 to India and China.
This same dolt is begging Russia and OPEC, enemies of America, toe produce more oil so we can send them more USD.
While at the same time the dolt in office is doing all he can to reduce American oil production and independence.
He's always been a dolt. And 80,000,000 idiots voted for him.
This is how much respect the world has for President Dolt

I'm not seeing the value in releasing what amounts to 3 days of our consumption. What does that equal where it's going? 5 days? 10 days? Seems more symbolic than anything else.

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't they replace "the reserves" at current prices at tax payer expense?
Believe a better fix would be to get oilfield, pipeline, etc. workers back to work. Quit halting production & construction
Oil took a 12% hit today due to the new Covid variant.
Stock market always down close to 2%

Probably very old news, but I just watched a very frightening documentary. It is important to know, if you watch it, that it was filmed in 2009
It is free on Amazon. Shadow Government. This is not tin foil hat stuff. It is legitimate. Most alarming is recognizing today's headlines and understanding this show was made in 2009.
Pre Trump, pre Covid.
There are sporadic religious messages, most notably at the end, but regardless of your faith or lack of, the political and social issues addressed are dead on.

The best way to lower your 'carbon footprint' is to freeze to death and die. Then your carbon footprint falls to zero, once you finish decomposing.
His new plan increases the cost of oil production.
