Or maybe you could put a sail on your car and let the wind blow you around? 

I don't know but he must be up to something great.

Question!

Why would any oil & gas company want to invest in expanding extraction & refining capacity when the current leadership calls for the reduction and destruction of your industry on a daily basis?

Why would they want to expand when they’re making record profits with no additional investment-while facing a large labor shortage? Not to mention a looming recession where oil prices are going to plunge.

They wanted to expand, the Biden administration shut down refinery expansions...I mean we had this conversation 3 days ago..

You ok?? Cuz you don't seem to be remembering stuff as of late, even stuff you post a few days later..

Wind power execs are oil execs.  Oil companies have large wind holdings.

With the high degree wind is supplemented from the government just gives oil companies more profits.  

The government needs to take away the supplements for wind, solar plus the tax breaks for purchasing EV to show the real cost.  Why should tax payer dollars and tax breaks be supplementing these?

Since the start of the pandemic two years ago, refineries with a combined capacity of over 1 million bpd have been shuttered, Bloomberg reported. Globally, some 2.13 million bpd in refining capacity has been shut down since 2020.

🤷🏻
 

American refinery capacity has been on the decline in recent years, according to Fuels Market News latest Refinery Capacity Report.The report found that operable atmospheric crude oil distillation capacity in the U.S. fell from 19 million barrels per calendar day at the start of 2020 to 18.1 million at the start of 2021. It marked the first decrease in refinery capacity since 2017, the report noted.

Much of that dip in output can be blamed on refinery closures such as the one in Houston, with the report noting that five facilities shuttered during 2021, including the Shell refinery in Convent, Louisiana. Other states that saw a refinery closure include New Mexico, California, North Dakota, and Wyoming.

While some refinery closures have been blamed on pandemic market conditions that led to a decrease in demand for fuel, others believe the closures will only accelerate in the future.

Phil Flynn, a senior account executive/market analyst at the Price Futures Group and FOX Business contributor, warned that strict regulation under the Biden administration will continue to put pressure on refineries to stay in business.

 

I understand Bidens role in all of this but there are other factors including oil and refinery companies reluctance to invest in refineries that are costly and won’t provide a return on investment for 10 plus years not to mention the volatility in the fossil fuels sector worldwide….or #FJB and Let’s Go Brandon…whatever floats your boat.🤣👍🏼

GM and Tesla don’t  have tax credits on any of their EV’s.  Toyota hit the magic number for phase out and ford is close.

dog whistles... 

the biggest factor by far in relation to current oil prices is Russia. 

if you don't like current gas prices, maybe.... drive slower, consolidate your travels more wisely or just stay home? 

all these challenging first world trials and tribulations we must endure... :lol:

But his administration shut down refineries who wanted to invest and expand production, the one in the US Virgin Islands for example that wanted to expand production and invest in US oil pumped out of the Gulf approved by the Trump administration and immediately squash by Bidens administration.. Spinner posted of another one in the US that would have refined more US oil..Those are facts that should not be ignored..
