Diesel was $6.27 this morning. Highest it has ever been for me. Let’s go Biden.

And soon the idiot liberals and democrats will call in the oil companies for a public spanking lamenting that “you are making record profits but gas is high” and throw out bread for their clapping seals.

The idiots who blocked the state road to Burning Man 12 or so days ago were protesting OIL DRILLING.

I still have not heard HOW THEY got so far out from Reno to stage their nonsense.

Paiute Tribal Police broke them up & opened up the road.

Biden campaigned on ending all fossil fuel usage.

Probably in their gas charged Teslas. I wonder where and how they were charged while they were mud-marooned on the Plata? 🤣

This is not a Biden problem.

The NPRA where the Willow Project is located (National Petroleum Reserve Alaska) was evaluated to hold 7 billion barrels of oil in the late 1990s. There was no great basis for that estimate. It was an based on a presumption the Prudhoe Bay geology might extend.

Some exploratory drilling was done. Repeat, it WAS done. This is not guesswork. Just about 2009 or so the results of that drilling were reported and USGS announced there was less than 1/10th of the amount previously estimated. So as a result of measurements, not guesses, the new number was 600 million barrels.

In the world of oil this is not much. If you put a field there of several production wells that sum to maybe 150,000 barrels/day (a modest number), that is 54 million barrels/year. That entire 600 million barrels (and you never ever get it all) would last 12 year if 600 is correct and if you could get it all.

The Permian field produces 5.8 million barrels PER DAY. If this Willow Project turned into just 1 million barrels per day it would be empty in less than 2 years.

Understand numbers, people. The US consumes 20 million barrels PER DAY. That’s 7.3 billion barrels/year. This Willow Project would last a month of consumption.

Understand the numbers. And generally always presume some reporter with a degree in journalism can’t do math.

“ Becuz math’s is kinda hard.”

FYI, some universities that require mathematics credits to graduate offer a great “History of Math” class for the numerically challenged.

That leads to the other reality.

If you got a bunch of rock that will go empty in a couple of years, nobody is going to spend the money to put in pipelines, infrastructure and equipment. What would be the point in all that permanent stuff if it’s done in 2 years.

Very poor ROI

Meanwhile oil sits in the mid to high 80s per barrel while the USA sits on a lake of oil.

when he gave the go-ahead to allow the $8 billion Willow Project to drill on Arctic land.

This way he can say that the oil companies are not using the permits he already issued (for this land). Why are people objecting when the permits issued are sitting idle? The oil companies evidently don't need them!

Click this link for an article about how Biden sold 100 million barrels from the Strategic Reserve to a Chinese business Hunter was partners with

Why is US selling stockpiled oil to China?
