Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

Democrats are a threat to our national security because they've made us dependent on Russian oil and other countries that aren't friendly to the USA.

Today we are faced with an energy crisis and Biden has refused to increase production here at home. It makes no sense.

Dude YOUR. just a Bad right wing parrot hack.
with zero facts and knowledge

Your life sucks in Mississippi move

The World is supporting the US against Russia all but the Republicans like YOU

BTW you can go over and Fight since you chicken out of Afghanistan.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

Its great we sanction Russia but then we still fund his war by buying his oil.Also do everything possible to shut down our own production we could be supplying to other countries so they dont have to buy his energy.

Right wing BS we have more oil leases and higher production now. And we don't buy oil from Russia

Your welcome

You are as ignorant as you are stupid.


Official figures from the EIA website: U.S. Total Crude Oil and Products Imports

The most recent figures from the US Energy Information Administration are from last November. In that month we bought 17,855,000 barrels of oil from Russia, slightly more than we purchased from Saudi Arabia. Russia is our third biggest supplier after Canada and Mexico. Those nearly 18 million barrels or oil in November represented about 7% of the total the US imported that month.

Canada to ban imports of crude oil from Russia

Canada to ban imports of crude oil from Russia

Trudeau says Canada will ban Russian crude oil imports


Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the government plans to ban imports of Russian crude oil into the country, as part of efforts to ramp up pressure on President Vladimir Putin.

Trudeau made the announcement at a press conference in Ottawa, where he also announced plans to provide anti-tank weapon systems to Ukraine.

“Today, we are announcing our intention to ban all imports of crude oil from Russia, an industry that has benefited President Putin and his oligarchs greatly,” Trudeau said in French. “While Canada has imported very little amounts in recent years, this measure sends a powerful message.”

Canada hasn’t imported any crude oil from Russia since 2019, Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson told lawmakers on Monday.

There was one Canadian refinery that imported as much as $500M of Russian oil in 2019 but that refinery is in the process of converting to alternative bio-fuels and imports dropped to $0.00. In 2021, Canada was thought to have imported as much as $300M in refined gasoline and aviation fuel from Russia.

... Canada is ramping up exports of natural gas to the European Union to offset deliveries from Russia.

... Canada remains the USA's largest importer of crude oil at 4.08M barrels per day and is intending to increase exports.

US and allies agree to release 60 million barrels of oil from their reserves as Russian invasion of Ukraine causes price spike

The US and its allies have agreed to a release of 60 million barrels from their reserves, the White House and International Energy Agency announced Tuesday, as leaders seek to dampen the effect of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on gas prices at home.

Half of that total – 30 million barrels – will come from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and the other half will come from allies in Europe and Asia. Those other allies include Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands and other major European countries, as well as Japan and South Korea.

The International Energy Agency announced Tuesday that member countries have agreed to the release from emergency reserves to send a “strong message to global oil markets that there will be no shortfall” as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In its own statement, the White House said the release “is another example of partners around the world condemning Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine and working together to address the impact of President Putin’s war of choice.”

“President Biden was clear from the beginning that all tools are on the table to protect American businesses and consumers, including from rising prices at the pump,” the White House said in a statement.

The oil market was not immediately impressed. US crude spiked about 10% Tuesday morning to an intraday high of $105.14 a barrel. That’s the highest level since 2014. Brent crude, the world benchmark, soared about 8% to $105.40 a barrel.

“The bottom line is this is not enough to cool off the market. It’s a bit of a band-aid solution,” said Michael Tran, managing director of global energy strategy at RBC Capital Markets.

“You need to super-size the numbers,” said Robert Yawger, vice president of energy futures at Mizuho Securities.

The invasion of Ukraine has driven concerns about a supply disruption from Russia, the world’s No. 2 oil producer. Brent oil prices closed above $100 a barrel on Monday for the first time since 2014.
High oil prices have lifted prices at the gas pump to seven-year highs. The national average for regular gasoline rose to $3.62 on Tuesday, up about 9 cents in a week and 24 cents in a month, according to AAA. At some point, energy prices could get so expensive that it erodes demand from consumers and slows the broader economy.

US officials have spent the last several weeks on calls and in meetings with counterpart key energy supplying countries in an effort to secure commitments to back-fill any market disruptions. The effort included an in-person visit to Saudi Arabia from two senior administration officials to discuss the need to address the effect on oil markets. The US informed Saudi Arabia ahead of the oil reserve announcement.

President Joe Biden signaled his intent to release the oil last week.

“We are actively working with countries around the world to evaluate a collective release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves of major energy-consuming countries. And the United States will release additional barrels of oil as conditions warrant,” he said.

Tapping the reserve – the stockpile of 600 million barrels of crude oil stored in underground salt caverns in Louisiana and Texas – generally has only a limited effect on gas prices because of how much oil can be released at a time, but would act as a political sign that Biden is confronting the problem.

Chevron CEO Mike Wirth expressed support on Tuesday for governments to release emergency stockpiles of oil to offset supply fears triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“I do think a coordinated response by multiple countries could help in the near-term,” Wirth said in response to a question during a briefing with reporters. “Certainly, we’ve seen markets on edge with concern about supply and supply reliability.”

Wirth expressed confidence that there will not be a major supply disruption.

“I’ve seen nothing to indicate that either Russia’s intentions or the intentions of governments involved in sanctions would be to restrict oil supply,” Wirth said. “In fact, quite the opposite. It would appear to me that people have been very careful to signal their intention is to try to maintain energy supply to a world that needs it.”

But it’s not a long-term solution. There is a finite amount of oil in emergency reserves. In fact, the SPR holds the least amount of oil since September 2002, according to government statistics.
Matt Smith, lead Americas oil analyst at Kpler, said emergency releases are arguably bullish from a market sentiment standpoint.

“Every time the US announces a release from the SPR,” Smith said, “it’s one less bullet that it has to be able to use later on.”

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

Releasing oil from the reserves is a big fat nothing burger. Biden needs to follow Trudeau's lead and ban all imports from Russia. Of course, that may be the final straw to the beginning of WWIII. Nevertheless, it's time to stand up to the bully.

.... the USA imports approx 90,000 barrels of oil from Russia per day. Russia currently sits in 9th place in terms of oil imports into the USA and could easily be displaced by imports from other countries.

I don't think those numbers are correct. Not even close.

We need domestic energy policies that strengthen U.S. energy security and help allies and partners reduce their dependence on Russia’s oil and natural gas. | U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
