Putin’s Real Puppet – After Killing XL Pipeline, Biden Regime Imports Oil from Russia at Record Levels

As a result of his insane move to kill the Keystone XL pipeline, Biden is now importing a record amount of oil from Russia.  We all knew this would happen.  Really, why would Biden do this?
 
Energynow.com reports:

One year since President Joe Biden cancelled approval for the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada, and the United States’ thirst for oil is as strong as ever and rising.
 
U.S. oil imports from Saudi Arabia and Russia have increased, and gasoline prices are higher than they have been in the last five years. 
 
[Keystone XL] was a missed opportunity to increase North American energy security, lower costs for American consumers and reduce dependence on foreign energy sources that are hostile to U.S. interests,” says Frank Macchiarola, senior vice-president with the American Petroleum Institute…
 
…Renewable energy in the U.S. is growing, and demand for oil continues to surge.
 
Consumption in 2023 is expected to reach 17.2 million barrels per day, higher than before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
 
Before President Biden’s cancellation in January 2021, Canadian oil producers remained committed to Keystone XL despite waiting nearly 12 years for the project to go ahead.
 

 
In 2018, a decade after the first regulatory application, Keystone XL had 20-year shipping commitments for about 60 per cent of its capacity. In 2020, that increased to nearly 70 per cent…
 
…The U.S. Gulf Coast is the world’s largest processing region for what is known as “heavy oil,” and Alberta is the world’s largest heavy oil producer.
 
“Keystone XL was probably one of the largest pipeline projects proposed that would have tied Canadian supply to the U.S. Gulf coast as a bullet train express,” says Kevin Birn, chief analyst, Canadian crude oil markets with consultancy IHS Markit…
 
At peak construction, Keystone XL would have employed approximately 13,000 people in Canada and the U.S., including 2,800 in Alberta and Saskatchewan and 10,200 in Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska.
 
Since cancelling the pipeline, President Biden has repeatedly asked OPEC+ nations like Saudi Arabia and Russia to increase oil production to help lower U.S. gasoline prices. 
 
Meanwhile, a report published by the American Petroleum Institute shows that importing heavy oil” from Canadas oil sands has reduced costs for American consumers.

 

 
The US Energy Department and far-left Politifact agree on this one:

The most recent data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration shows that in May, the U.S. imported 844,000 barrels per day of crude oil and petroleum products from Russia. That’s almost 10% of all the U.S. imports for that month.
 
Historically speaking, this is a large amount, setting a new monthly record for Russian oil imports.

As a result of Biden’s energy policies, gasoline in the US is nearly twice as much as a year ago.

Gosh, I wonder how many of Hunter’s infantile finger-paintings the Russians bought in exchange for idiot Biden selling out the US economy and security? Idiot Biden is scum and those who support him are fools. He has telegraphed his corruption and Hunter’s laptop confirmed it.

Yet another investigation for the Republican Congress and another reason for impeachment.

And Oil Tankers can run aground as we saw with the Exonn Valdez and other incidences Biden is being irresposible ad so are the Greens

Make no doubt about it, perhaps one of the single most significant accomplishments by sleepy joe. Take us from virtual energy indepdence to complete energy dependancy in less than one year. Now that is outperforming…(sarc)

FJB

When oil is around 80 dollars a barrel, like it is now, Russia is rich and can afford to be aggressive, meaning look at the border of Ukraine right now. When oil is 30 dollars a barrel Russia is poor and could not be doing what we now see at that border. Biden’s actions have the US producing millions less barrels oil of now than when Trump was President. Biden is also working to have banks not loan to conventional energy producers.
Bottom line Biden squandered a dividend Trump gave us and now the world is a much more dangerous place.

One does not need to go far back in History to understand how Ronald Wilson Reagan defeated the Soviet Union. He made them economically poorer to the point where there was a collapse. On the other hand, sleepy joe is aiding and abeting the strengthening of a geopolitical enemy…

Another impeacheable offense…

Cmon, man! They can’t make their payments to him if they don’t have the cash. Even Corn Pop could figure that out.

FJB will allow Russia to invade and completely dominate the Ukraine. weapon sales to the Ukraine never materialized to to “shipping and transportation” issues thanks to blinken and buttf++ker sec of transportation. This is part of the plan to annex the previous Eastern States back to Russia over time…FJB has destroyed Eastern Europe.
