On the brink of War

350-500. There are a number of days each month when I drive back and forth and put between 350-500 miles on the car in one day. The current models won't get me there or I would have to lose a significant amount of time while it charges. Looking into hybrids too.
I believe Lucid has a vehicle range of 500 miles on the top model. Their other models are 400 miles. An absolutely gorgeous vehicle.

He did not cancel drilling on federal lands. There is still plenty of drilling on federal lands, and there have always been unused federal lands available for drilling.
Even Democrat Joe Manchin knows the story. It’s so obvious.

We hadn't been producing more because it was not profitable enough. Now that oil prices are high, we will produce more.
 
Also, some very detailed analysis on Russia-Ukraine that has been making the rounds in Catholic circles, from Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano - the Vatican’s former ambassador to the United States who blew open the Cardinal McCarrick scandal in 2018:

 
UFC Bryce Mitchell asked about the war in Ukraine and gives a crystal clear commentary on authentic patriotism…”if the fight comes to Arkansas, I will dig my heels into the dirt to fight and die for all I love”

BINGO!!! I especially like the last part about if we are asking our allies to produce more why don't we go back and produce more ourselves. Makes perfect sense!

But, who is the "we" there?

These are not government controlled facilities he is talking about.
He is talking about oil companies which are producing the most they have since the pandemic started and more than they did for almost all of Trump's entire presidency.

Sure....whatever you say. For your benefit, I will pretend Biden's policys don't exist. Sounds good.

You're being mislead. Should reassess wherever you are getting your information from.


Despite Biden's policies somehow we were already on track to have the highest production of oil in the US ever.

"we forecast that crude oil prices will remain high enough to drive U.S. crude oil production to record-high levels in 2023,"

I’m glad there are folks who feel confident our government is level headed and will make the right decisions, the guy who was going to get us into a war luckily is gone. I wish I felt the same way. Lost in all this talk was the study that was funded to better understand the roll of crypto digital currency yesterday, probably for when the dollar collapses. Whatever you believe, now is a good time to make sure you have some cash on hand for your families. My question to the board, if we were talking to Poland about giving their planes to Ukraine why did we do it publicly? What benefit did it serve to let everyone know? In basketball we would call that taunting, what’s it called it this situation.

Delivering it efficiently is a huge problem and with the Dems in charge a big no to pipelines. Oil companies also look at the bottom line and right now the environment is much more difficult to drill, refine and deliver than it was just two years ago. No misleading here. There is a war on fossil fuels in this country and people have been misled. There are not enough alternatives to make a dent in usage. We are still 60% or more reliant on fossil fuels and possibly more. If electric car usage goes up so does power consumption which is fed by guess what fossil fuels. It is a circular discussion. Not to mention the minerals you need for the fuel cell batteries. My son-in-law has an electric car and his power bill has gone up 35%. When you do the math we are not there yet so you need to encourage alternatives AND drilling and efficient delivery, and pipelines and opening up Federal lands for more drilling. It is a two-way street and this government would rather not do that. No misleading here. Seriously why are they talking to Venezuela and Iran? Members of their own party are questioning that significantly. You can create an environment where we promote both for national security. This will be a very long-term transition and I doubt we can ever get 100% off fossil fuels in our lifetimes.

It's not for when the dollar collapses, it's preparing for if (big if, but not that big of a stretch) the rest of the world really starts to embrace crypto. That is something we should be paying attention to and understand. We need to be ahead of that and can't get left behind.

A coin pegged to the USD and backed by the US government is where I assume this is heading.

Beats me. Considering we have done plenty of stuff like that outside of public view, I'd guess there was a reason.

They want the pawns or little people to slow down on consumption and most of all the slaves to use public transportation. Most of the people on this board will not be affected, if you think only about your own little world its really not a bad idea. The real problem is selling the idea to the lower middle class and poor. They are generally not as smart and easier to influence. Can they get their vote? Maybe. They are already setting the stage and the narrative, "Blame Russia". Is it partly Russia's fault? Yes, but not entirely.

Not ready yet for crypto, but watch it slowly be eased into being used. You have to figure something is up, we are trillions in debt and still talking about taking more and more. We would need radical changes to balance the budget. I think digital currency is our only way out. The political elite (both parties) do not seem to have any intention of balancing the budget. They are having way too much fun!

I don't want to sound like a nut, but we maybe watching our dollar collapse right now. I'm usually a very optimistic guy but it's easy for me to see how dependent we are on other countries for basic essentials. Global economy is great in theory but we are dealing with some bad characters. I deal in the world of direct importing and things are about to get very ugly.

How is it more difficult to drill and deliver?

There is a war on fossil fuels in this country and people have been misled. There are not enough alternatives to make a dent in usage.

That's just not true though. Renewables are catching up and could easily exceed fossil fuel capacity in the near future. Just need to make the decision to invest.

My son-in-law has an electric car and his power bill has gone up 35%.

Yes, it does cost money to charge. How much has his gas bill gone down?

When you do the math we are not there yet so you need to encourage alternatives AND drilling and efficient delivery, and pipelines and opening up Federal lands for more drilling.

We have efficient delivery and open federal lands available to drill though.
Again, we are headed towards record production in the US. We are not pushing back on oil production at all. Quite the opposite actually.

There is ample proof that the Dems and traditionally Democratic areas are at war with the oil and gas industry in North America.

Just because Jen Psaki says there are plenty of open permits doesn't mean this administration is making things any easier. If you create a climate that makes it harder, it costs more and oil companies will say it is not worth it. Well now it is a matter of national security (it always has been by the way) and folks are paying attention. Midterms coming up soon! Oh crap we better try and bring down the price of gas said a few Dems ...

Maybe. You said it is now harder to drill and deliver though.
Trying to understand where that is coming from. Canceling a pipeline that was never built doesn't make anything harder today. Halting the sale of permits (even though they opened in late 2021) doesn't make things harder today.

That is just rhetoric though. Again, we were on pace to have higher production ever in the next year.
That was before this current war started.

Yes indeed dividend producing stocks, cash and mutual funds with income/dividend producing stocks. I’m also in utility and water funds that pay out monthly. The water fund has been amazing. Made my changes end of last year. I did re buy Cardano coin which I told you about when it went under $1.10. Long term buy and hold, who knows what’s going to happen there. I like Cardano. Also in cdmo’s which are steady and long term growth.

When did I say it had anything to do with the war? It doesn't. The war has made it worse. You can't move faster than you have alternatives to make up for our reliance on fossil fuels. And you can't force people to do things they don't want to do until it makes sense to them. But the progressives believe they know better.

I disagree and noted that we were already on pace to have record levels of production. The point about the war is because that was where we were heading already. The war will escalate the issue further.

We can still invest heavily in alternative energy and meet our current needs through fossil fuels. Not an either or argument.

Partially true.

Biden's policies have had some affect. While he is not restricting new drilling on existing leader, his policies have increased the financial risk calculations. It takes a long time to get a return on a new well. Oil companies are more hesitant to take the risk given Biden's "war on oil" approach.

I get that as a rhetorical argument, but it doesn't really seem to match with the reality that oil companies have been producing more.


The number of producing rigs fell off a cliff when the price of oil dropped in 2020 and has been increasing each month since Biden took office.

 
How so? Trump made us energy independent and day one Brandon gave everything back due to the green lunatics. Then he lifted the sanctions on the Northstream pipeline. So he basically funded Putin and all his efforts. Then the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan further proved to Putin how weak we had become since all we cared about was social justice and green. So when World War III starts, we can thank those in the dangerous media who propped up 16 year old “climate scientist” Greta Thunberg “how dare you”!!!!

Leasing is not drilling. Can take years to produce oil after a lease is purchased.
There was a pause on leasing in 2021 which resumed later in 2021.

Nothing Biden did is preventing additional drilling from occurring on the land/water that is available.
In fact when Biden took office there were 374 operation oil rigs. Over 600 now.

Then why have gasoline prices gone up during Biden‘s entire presidency? Or are you going to tell me that I’m wrong that prices have not gone up? And I’m talking pre Russian invasion of Ukraine. Can’t wait for this response:)

So you think Biden controls oil prices. Perhaps the laws of supply and demand work here. First, when the pandemic hit, demand went way down. The oil industry was on the verge of collapse. Trump asked OPEC to reduce production of oil so our oil industry could survive.

Once demand started to go back to prepandemic levels, prices start to rise. The problem was that production did not return. Thus, prices rise. Production is still not back to prepandemic levels despite a request from Biden to OPEC to ramp up production.

Why? Well the oil industry lost so much money, this is a time to recoup.

Second, oil wells do not produce oil the same amount year after year. Normally after the first year, production reduces Thus oil companies have to drill new wells to do the same production. For whatever reason, probably due to the pandemic, new oil wells were not drilled to the extent to make up for natural production reduction. Thus, supply is further restricted.

This is a Global free market. It’s not controlled by the President.
