reversing the usa's energy momentum is:

- revoking leases to drill for oil and gas on federal lands and in federal waters

- revoking leases for mining

- halt permits to export LNG

- halting pipelines that would have imported 830k bbl/day (keystone, alone) of canadian oil to the usa

the consequences are two-fold, the hit on usa consumers and the political headaches of relying on other nations for energy.

More drilling leases were approved under Biden than were approved by Trump and Obama

The LNG market exploded because of Biden and an unknown person authorizing the destruction of a Russian pipeline. We're now the top supplier of natural gas to Europe.

Quote:
At the end of the 2020 fiscal year, right before President Biden took office, a total of 6,234 applications for permit to drill were pending approval. Recent media reports claim that in the last three years, the Biden administration has approved 9,522 permits to drill – which would make up the permit backlog, plus some.

Still, according to the latest BLM data, there are still 5,366 permits currently pending approval before the agency. In part due to the massive slowdown in leasing under the Biden administration, BLM had received a paltry 452 new permit applications year-to-date as of October 2023 – indicating the chilling effect that the bureaucratic slog can have on the industry.

Reminder: one of Biden’s first moves upon taking office was pausing lease sales, resulting in the number of leases for development on federal land slowing down significantly during the Biden administration compared to previous administrations. Delays in sales, ongoing appeals, and settlements with activist groups further contribute to the decline. New Mexico, North Dakota and Colorado have been among the states with lease sales postponed or canceled resulting in a significant economic impact. This impact has affected local and state revenues and budgeting, particularly for these states heavily reliant on oil and gas revenue. Meanwhile, the Biden administration also settled with activist groups and agreed to re-evaluate the National Environmental Policy Act reviews for nearly all of the leases issued under the Trump administration in Wyoming and a significant number across Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Montana. As the Wyoming Tribune Eagle explains back in 2022 when the news broke:

“None of the leases have been vacated, but their future is uncertain. The Department of the Interior now has to reevaluate and retroactively justify more than two dozen lease sales. If it decides it can’t, or its reasoning doesn’t satisfy the court, the sales could be reversed and any existing permits revoked.”

This ongoing NEPA review has been used as rationale for the Bureau of Land Management failing to authorize Wyoming’s November 2020 leases from the state’s last sale under the Trump administration. For perspective, that’s a nearly $7 million sale that’s been in limbo for more than three years.

The Biden administration’s pace of oil and gas leasing isn’t just slow – it’s the slowest in half a century. A Wall Street Journal analysis of federal acres leased for oil and gas production over the past 50 years revealed that the Biden administration leased a historic low of 0.13 million acres during its first 19 months compared to the 4.4 million acres auctioned for lease during the first year and a half of the Trump presidency.


it took a federal judge (3 weeks ago) to end biden's LNG export 'pause':

Quote:
Federal judge blocks Biden’s pause on LNG export permits
The decision to stay the LNG pause upends one of Joe Biden’s major policy nods to climate-focused activists who have accused the president of not doing enough to mitigate planet-warming emissions.

Last year marks the third consecutive year in which the United States supplied more LNG to Europe than any other country: 27%, or 2.4 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), of total European LNG imports in 2021; 44% (6.5 Bcf/d) in 2022; and 48% (7.1 Bcf/d) in 2023.




President Joe Biden has approved nearly 50 percent more oil and gas drilling permits for wells on federal land since taking office than former President Donald Trump did in his first three years, according to newly released data from the Interior Department.

But Biden has not trumpeted the permit data, and climate activists have criticized the administration for failing to halt new fossil fuel production on federal lands as Biden promised during the 2020 campaign. Those activists have pointed to approval of the Willow oil project in Alaska, as well as the expansion of natural gas exports

Fine, worst president of the modern era. I'm sure James Buchanan was worse if you want to go that deep. But I don't think we've ever truly recovered from the damage to the world and the imperialization of the office that Cheney and the neocons brought upon us. Reagan right up there as well between the AIDS benign neglect and the erosion of the middle class.

Biden was neither as bad nor as great as his respective sides made him out to be. After Trump, the American people understandably rejected the notion of a single figure as head of government in favor of a more committee/bureaucracy-based organization competently administering our decline, and that's more or less what we got. Now, it seems like maybe we don't like that idea so much after all. The gears of the machine kept running for four years, which has to count for something, but "greatest president since FDR" was always horseshit.

i realize your shtick as a biden guy, but, the man himself told us, "we're going to end fossil fuels". - 2020 debate. don't forget, biden has either proposed or has finalized regulations that have restricted the energy industry.

Quote:
While oil output is at a record high, we could be producing even more but for the president’s “whole of government” effort to chill investment. The year before President Biden was inaugurated, the Energy Information Administration was forecasting oil output in 2023 of 14 million barrels a day. Actual output came in at 1.1 million barrels per day below that forecast.

Oil production hit a record in 2023 because more and more of our oil and natural gas production is occurring on private and state lands, where developers don’t need permission from Washington to drill. In 2005, about 68 percent of our oil and 62 percent of our gas came from private and state lands. Today it’s risen to roughly 75 percent and 90 percent, respectively.

When it comes to production on federal lands, however, we’re living on borrowed time. We’ve been able to maintain output thanks to production from wells drilled on leases issued before Biden became president. While the administration has issued drilling permits to existing leaseholders — as required by law — that hasn’t stopped it from slow walking these permits.

i wasn't a big fan of his dad. the terms, 'downsizing' and 'political correctness' were born during his administration. during his term, i remember biden as THE big shot, during the anita hill testimony. pubic hair on a coke can - he must have immediately thought of his furry legs.

This should be offensive to voters.

by this morning, everyone is praising Harris for locking down all the "important" constituencies: specifically delegates and money. No mention of the voters.

Who is in charge right now? Is Biden alive? Did he have a stroke? Where is he?

We've come along way from the media flying into an uproar over Al Haig saying he was in control to the point where nobody knows who is running things and most people don't care.

Except that we don't rely on other nations for energy. In terms of oil, the U.S. produced more in 2023 than any previous year (including Trump's reign) and also more than any other country in history (including Saudi Arabia). This is one of Trump's oft repeated falsehoods (one of many) which is widely accepted as fact by his flock.

It's already there. In 24 hours it has become unthinkable to have anyone else.

I don't know if this was the most un American occurrence or most American occurrence

It depends on where her poll numbers are by next Monday. If she is polling equal or worse than Biden they'll say "She can't beat Trump" and find a way to move on. That's why they set the rules to let another candidate win the nomination when they do the delegate poll and it really wouldn't even be that hard.

They had to give her the first chance but just like people suddenly decided that Joe Biden couldn't beat Trump they'll decide that Kamala Harris can't beat Trump if her numbers show that she is likely to lose.

After what you have seen in the last day, it is naive to think voters matter.

The money is behind her. She is the candidate. Fin.

The guy who did the Biden impression with Shane Gillis' Trump is probably cursing himself on his choice.

Maya Rudolph just made herself some money.

It's disgusting that at 10 am Sunday the Democrat establishment all thought it needed to be an open process with multiple candidates but by 10 pm EVERYONE now said that was impossible and Harris should be the only candidate.

This should be offensive to voters.

by this morning, everyone is praising Harris for locking down all the "important" constituencies: specifically delegates and money. No mention of the voters.

There is no such thing as a liberal any more. There are people who hold leftist political positions but there are no liberals.

They are giving Harris a week to improve her poll numbers but they built in a system where she could be easily replaced too based on how they are doing the new nomination process.


:lol: :lol:

Who is this Mythical Democrat that is going to have great polling numbers?

It depends on where her poll numbers are by next Monday. If she is polling equal or worse than Biden they'll say "She can't beat Trump" and find a way to move on. That's why they set the rules to let another candidate win the nomination when they do the delegate poll and it really wouldn't even be that hard.

Money is certainly key since she is apparently the only one who can legally access the cash already in the Biden/Harris coffers. Also, if they choose someone like Whitmer they risk alienating black women. If it were one of the other Governor's mentioned they would also risk losing women in general - which is their strongest constituency following the Roe decision.

She's the favorite but let's say next Monday she is polling lower than Biden.

One candidate simply has to get 300 of about 4,000 delegates to sign a petition to put him/her/they/them onto the ballot. The next step would be to choose whoever between the two is "most likely to beat Trump" which is how they got Biden out. I don't think anyone really thinks Harris has a better chance to beat Trump than any of the other options.

It will likely be Harris but she has a week to show she is up for the task.
