Electricity prices in America

How about Sleepy not allowing new natural gas pipelines, and cutting on down on flaring?  Here's the rub........new oil fields generates oil and gas, and there's no pipeline to move the gas.  It's illegal to flare the gas.  This means production must be limited.  Gas can not be transported via truck or rail, and even if it could be, pipeline transport would be the safest and cheapest.

 

It's a simple concept that Libs can't wrap their brains around.  Get Sleepy out of the fucking way and oil and gas production will increase far more rapidly.

What about Biden not allowing seismic testing?  You can drill for oil and gas, but you can't use the most important tool to decide where and if to drill.


That's in the Gulf of Mexico, not on land, and it kills marine life.

There are lots of ways to improve our energy situation. There's encouraging conservation, there's mandating conservation efforts by industry and vehicle manufacturers, there's expanding alternative energy sources, and there's helping Ukraine to defeat Russia even sooner (which for some reason, a lot of Republicans oppose). And I am sure there are other ways too.

 

Anyone on the left who sees mandatory conservation as the ONLY solution is an ignorant asshole.

Anyone on the right who sees the expansion of drilling and pipelines as the ONLY solution is an ignorant asshole.

 

There, I think that covers it.

Boilerman just makes shit up.     

 

How about being hoinest with basic, easily verified  facts?

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1168450/us-number-of-petroleum-pipeline-projects/

 

Biden approved 9 new pipeline projects in 2022 compared to 6 new projects that were underway from the outgoing Trump administration.   And Energy Transfer LP just moved forward with a contract to transport LNG to Europe via its LNG export facility in Lake Charles...thats to pick up the slack from Russian gas being cut off in Europe.

 

And pipeline doesnt do any good going to land that cant be drilled on.  You can thank Democrats for opening that land....and you can blame all the Republicans Boilerman votes for who tried to block it.
