Of course not.
70% of US oil consumption is for transportation though. Yes some of that is for planes, trains, and sjhips.

Do other places, from which we buy products/services?quincunx wrote: ↑4:35 PM - Jan 05The Us generates very little power from oil.
IDk, what is the point you're trying to make?
Our cities and states determine how car dependent we are. We don't have much say over how other countries produce electricity.

I did not. I said they should demand different from their government that currently ties them up in wars for oil by encouraging and coercing endemic car dependency.
I thought it was pretty well known that our government actively works to lower gas prices through ensuring we have an abundance of oil. Regardless of how you wanna look at it, the US is collectively guilty for the pain we cause to ensure that.
While other countries spend money on transit or other means of transportation that lower the dependency on cars, we spend money on ensuring oil prices stay low and therefore gas prices stay low so the electorate stay happy because all the electorate cares about is gas prices.

It's pretty telling when even the ME oil producers are going away from oil because they realize it's on the way out but the US loves doubling down on it.
JFC. Again we should demand places where we can drive less or not at all to untie ourselves from this.
Doesn't market price drop when the market is flooded with product? And money controlled by the state? Isn't this communist.....or fascist?

That's what some people have been duped to believe. As if oil extraction is very very cheap so that the industry will just keep supplying as much as possible as the prices drops. In realty high cost production site shut down, and OPEC closes the spigot keeping prices from dropping.
Of course you can reduce your personal oil bill by driving less, though tough to do with our state-sponsored endemic car dependency.

More Venezuelan oil to the US is probably good for employment at the WR refinery, right? It’s setup for heavy sour slop refining.

Republicans blocked this bill last year when democrats proposed it. Trump is turning into a good little socialist. Even said he will ban dividends for some companies
Trump is a dementia ridden husk who will be dead before the year ends. Nothing he says means anything. Nothing good will come out of him.
Meanwhile over in real life, we are murdering people for absolutely no reason and then calling the people we murder terrorists. Housing policy seems stupid when juxtaposed.

Anything to block companies from buying up too many TV and radio stations? Anything? Crickets.
In case it wasn't clear to anyone who missed economics class on Ferris Bueller's Day Off, tariffs are generally bad

Chris, should we be uniting around shooting mothers in the face? ThanksChris Stritzel wrote: ↑Nov 06, 2024Now the country needs to start attempting to unite a little bit more now. If all people want to do it fight each other moving forward, keep doing so. But most voters are tired of that sort of thing and want to move on.
