WAITIN' FOR WHAT...???

Let’s get real here, Ray… And be honest… if that’s possible! A president has only a limited amount of influence on either the amount of oil produced in the U.S., or in the price of domestic energy. While it’s true that President Biden 1) shut down the Keystone Pipeline, and 2) suspended oil leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR)… NEITHER ONE OF THOSE… would have had an immediate effect on domestic oil production, or the price of energy!

The Keystone pipeline would have taken years to complete, and was designed to move sand-tar oil from Canada to refineries FOR EXPORT to other countries… NOT for domestic use… and thus would have no effect on domestic fuel prices!
Of the last two oil leases offered in ANWR, only ONE was purchased, showing an unwillingness on the part of oil companies to invest in those particular opportunities! And again, it would take years for any new leases to begin producing oil… again… having no effect on current domestic fuel prices!
Beyond that… A president cannot insist that an oil company purchase leases… or that they actually have to drill and produce oil from them… or tell them how much they can or cannot pump… or how much they can charge for that oil. Those are all decisions the oil companies make for themselves based on their desire for higher profit margins! (continued… )
