The Pinocchio Test
This is an example of how simple facts — SPR oil was sold to a subsidiary of a Chinese company and Hunter Biden once has a business relationship with that company — are turned into something nefarious. The contract was awarded to the highest bidders in a competitively bid process and Hunter Biden was many steps removed from the U.S. trading arm of the Chinese firm.
...over 70% of the Strategic Petroleum Oil Reserve (SPR) made available for export went to Europe to support the Ukrainian war. China and several other countries got the remaining oil sold to the highest bidder. It is called capitalism and will will help restock the SPR in the future.
... I know facts are inconvenient for you. You are as bad as Sean Hannity on Fox for contorting the truth.
I was surprised to learn today that all of the shale oil that the USA produces is too light to be used in any US refineries. The US has to import 100% of a heavier grade oil from foreign sources to be used in it's refineries.
The idea that it is all of President Biden's fault that the USA is facing energy shortages and prices are too high and this would all be solved if only the US would drill for more oil is completely fake news.
Until the US builds new oil refineries, which seems unlikely, the USA will always remain the world's largest importer and exporter of oil.
The USA was the world's leading exporter of Liquid Natural gas (LNG) until two large recent explosions in the USA wiped out half of the countries producing capability.
