Oil

[Luvnit2]

I have to say this thread is very enlightening and I am trying to learn.

I have read through most of it, but did not see this addressed. The Democrats do want to eliminate oil, it is on record. My understanding is the US oil is far more clean than oil from Russia. We started importing dirtier oil from a county who has told us they want to destroy us. This dirty oil (if I am correct and if not I am sure Stewy will yell us) lines the coffers of Putin and aides his military to be stronger.

We were energy independent not long ago, in 2020 we used less oil than in previous years due to the pandemic. One would think we could have built up huge reserves for a rainy day, but somehow when ended up having to buy dirtier oil (had to get oil from somewhere and continue to let Russia drill more for that dirtier oil and sell it to us and Europe.

I am not blaming Biden 100%, but didn't some of his decisions have adverse impact like approving Nordstrom pipeline from Russia to to Germany, but shutting down Keystone on day 1 of his administration and delaying pipelines in West Virginia that are 95% complete? I understand Keystone would not change the production issues now, but we would be a year+ closer.

Can someone explain to me why it is not a huge deal by anyone concerned about the environment to purchase oil from countries lacking the cleaning techniques of the US, thus buying energy from Russia and others that hurts the environment more than if it was produced in the US?
