The one where his friends get an ass ton of taxpayer money, blow it, then go bankrupt. Friggin stellar solar energy policy.

Was just making sure I hadn't missed anything.....I love how the barry apologists claim that he could have done even worse but he didn't. It's kinda like he could have just stopped the coal industry immediately instead he is letting it die a slow death because f'ing up a little at a time is infinitely better than f'ing up all at once.

The US exports as much if not more oil than it imports. Why?

Imports exceed exports by a factor approaching 2.6.

During the Obama administration, US crude oil production is up nearly 49 percent and natural gas production has increased 21.3 percent.

 

[Abe Hoffman]

and just how could he restrict production on private land without congressional or court approval?

During the Obama administration, US crude oil production is up nearly 49 percent and natural gas production has increased 21.3 percent.

And this would be the result of him doing what?

 

[Abe Hoffman]

Not standing in the way of progress.

 

[allvol123]

Not standing in the way of progress.

Wow, what a great energy policy.

Let's get it straight though, he has absolutely nothing to do with those increased numbers you attempted to highlight as proof of his energy policy.

If oil and gas production was declining, you would blame Obama.

 

[allvol123]

If oil and gas production was declining, you would blame Obama.

He is a politician, he has great ability to interfere, get in the way, cause delay, etc. of private production.

The fact that oil production has increased says nothing about him other than he hasn't blatantly gotten in their way.

Again, he has no energy policy that has encouraged increased production of oil.

Obviously he has not "interfered, gotten in the way or caused delay" of private production.

Crude oil and natural gas production are up substantially during the Obama administration.

So are gas prices...

It has.. Federal leases down 50% . All increases are on privately owned land. We've been down this road before. He hadn't done a damn thing to promote fossil fuels .

Courts can overrule the EPA.

 

[Abe Hoffman]

Courts can overrule the EPA.

Agreed. But what does that have to do with the President's energy policy?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

During the Obama administration, US crude oil production is up nearly 49 percent and natural gas production has increased 21.3 percent.

And gas prices have increased.

Well it should be with oil at $101 especially since it was $35 when he took over. Can you imagine if production was down?

 

[Abe Hoffman]

And gas prices have increased.

July 2008, the average price of gasoline was $4.42 per gallon. Note that was during the Bush administration.

I did not blame Bush for this high price then nor do I blame Obama for the current price of gas. The President does not control the price of gasoline.

That's not what my diddy said!

Original comment was to another point, keep up.

Refining and distribution capacity or lack there of have a lot to do with it. As much as production.

That was the few months of his administration. A little disingenuous on your part.

no idea what you are talking about. We will be a net exporter of gasoline by next year
