Biden's flip flopping energy "plan"

Cliff notes - the mid terms look like a disaster

Amid pressures of the midterms, gas prices, inflation, and economic uncertainty, President Joe Biden announced a plan he claims will produce a "profit for taxpayers" — and it includes a long overdue call for oil companies to increase production.

Biden is releasing 15 million more barrels of oil from the U.S Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) now, calling for U.S. oil companies to ramp up production, and offering them a $70 per barrel guaranteed price to sell it back to the U.S. government to refill the SPR in the future when demand falls and the price drops below $70 per barrel.

Despite a commitment to his party, his voters, and environmentalists, Biden said oil companies can ramp up oil production now "with the promise" they can sell their oil back to the U.S. government at $70 in the future.

"Let's debunk some myths here: My administration has not stopped or slowed U.S. oil production — quite the opposite," he said, pointing to the increased oil production since he took office in January 2021.

But the U.S. was closed down and travel significantly slowed in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic — especially in the most heavily populated Democrat-run cities in America.

Wednesday's new actions come just two years after Democrats blocked former President Donald Trump from filling the reserve at a fraction of that price.

Trump in March of 2020 was looking to stabilize the oil industry as the virtual price of oil dropped as low as minus $40 per barrel amid COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020, crushing global petroleum demand.

When oil was priced at about $24 a barrel, Republicans proposed spending $3 billion to fill up the reserve, but the idea became a political football in larger negotiations on trillions in coronavirus relief, with Senate Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., boasting his party had blocked a "bailout for big oil."

That decision effectively cost the U.S. billions in potential profits and meant Biden had tens of millions of fewer barrels at his disposal with which to counter price surges — which is not even the intended use of the SPR.


If you're a green energy moron Biden sold you out

If you like affordable gas Biden fucked you over

With a topping of outright lies and bullshit

Nice vote idiots

    The strategic oil reserve was established in 1975. In it's nearly 50 years of existence it's never been used the way that Biden is using it now. He is intentionally depleting it in order to help is party in the midterm elections. The SPR was created for use in an emergency, Rats getting hammered in the polls for high fuel prices isn't a fucking emergency.

    @HHusky wants to shitpoast about 'daddy' and imaginary voter suppression while ignoring this. Shocking.

    Dazzler only gets paid by the shit poast. He’s obviously trying to mitigate the financial damage from his dip mistakes.

    When Trump proposed doing this, at much lower prices, Schumer called it "bailing out oil companies instead of focusing on helping working Americans". Now it's Biden helping Americans! But Tommy Tuberville! And voter suppression!
