That seems to be the go to response from the White House when asked that question.....many of those points are addressed in pic below. Bottomline is this administration has become very hostile towards the oil industry, with regulations and threats that oil will not be a part of the future. Who wants to spend tons of money with exploration and drilling expenses and facing the possibility of being shutdown at any time? And remember, Biden campaigned on shutting the oil industry down.....a promise he has kept. And those that voted for him are getting their just rewards, unfortunately you are bringing the rest of us down with you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member ViperGTS/Z1 Posted March 8, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 8, 2022 Oh, and as far as Doocy goes.....at least he asks some relative and tougher questions than most reporters....if you don't see a stark contrast between how this admin gets treated compared to last admin, I can't help you. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey what about all those refugees that were brought here.....where are they at? 1. They left for other industries or retired. Tired of layoffs and time away from family. 2. Many areas of oil work is highly skilled. Need time to train those interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you're putting the cart before the horse thinking they need oil workers once they aquire a lease,.It's not like a land lease is "turn key" if you read the article I posted, the folks in the oil industry said it takes about 2 years before they can actually get started on drilling after securing a lease. Land surveying, test sites, geological surveys, build roads, let's not forget the EPA needs to approve too and I'd guess that isn't done in a day or too..So once that's done, build a rig, and then we can talk about hiring rig workers in 2024.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, don't ruin his little narrative.....there are no oil workers any more. No one will be able to do the jobs according to him. LOL You have to laugh at the constant ignorance. Unfortunately, there are people that probably believe what he does. Edited March 8, 2022 by racer254 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that. It's the reason why Trump's success in domestic oil came from the Obama energy plan. As I said before, I have a relative who worked in the oil industry as a geologist. I've had numerous conversations with him about the industry. He left because of the long hours, time away from home, and the boom/bust cycle that's inherent to the industry. He a few years younger than I am and said there was a mass exodus during covid by the grey beards. They retired. This is a real issue not just with energy, but mfg and healthcare as well. It just happens that the oil industry got hit the hardest because of general age of oil workers and retirements. It isn't seen as a very attractive industry to work. The question remains, what can be done about it? No one on either side of the isle seem to be asking that question. It is the #1 block to oil production.

It's the truth no matter who spews something different. Just look, now there is a labor shortage in the oil industry. FFS, it is like the media writes this stuff and they buy it hook line and sinker. It's all deflection from the real issue in Washington. Edited March 8, 2022 by racer254 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
