Zero Hedge: President Biden intensified attacks against the nation’s largest oil companies, writing an “angry” letter to the heads of ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP America, Shell USA, Phillips 66, Marathon, and Valero to boost US refinery output, according to Axios.
“I understand that many factors contributed to the business decisions to reduce refinery capacity, which occurred before I took office,” Biden writes in hopes that everyone is an idiot and incapable of grasping how how green policies have crippled the US energy sector, adding, “at a time of war, refinery profit margins well above normal being passed directly onto American families are not acceptable.”
“My administration is prepared to use all reasonable and appropriate federal government tools and emergency authorities to increase refinery capacity and output in the near term, and to ensure that every region of this country is appropriately supplied,” the president escalated for dramatic effect.
Biden, always happy to blame other but never himself, ended the letter by also scapegoating Putin – not just energy companies – for “driving up costs for consumers.”
“Vladimir Putin’s Price Hike and are driving up costs for consumers. I appreciate your immediate attention to this issue and your efforts to mitigate the economic challenges that Viadimir Putin’s actions have created for American families.”
In effect, Biden is blaming energy companies for his own failures as a president, and not only that – he is also going to beg and grovel in Saudi Arabia while bashing his own domestic producers. more here
And as we’ve all seen, the Shitpants Administration is comprised entirely of ‘tools’ !!!
I relish the day,
in the not-so-distant future when the ‘leaders’ of the collective West, facing horrific violence at the hands of their citizenry,
in unison throw this idiot under the bus.
Picture the effeminate Justine Fidel Turdoh and equally laughable mental-midget Macron pointing at Potatohead and claiming “you did this, you made us do stupid things!”
WASHINGTON (AP) — “The Biden administration says it is canceling three oil and gas lease sales scheduled in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of Alaska, removing millions of acres from possible drilling as U.S. gas prices reach record highs”
Because Putin is the problem…
Jackass Joe has shut down pipelines, refineries, drilling and exploration…
because Putin is the problem???
No, this arrogant, dim-witted, demented moron was handed an Energy Independent nation at the beginning of his regime, yet blames Trump, the oil companies and Putin for his own self-generated problems!
What a worthless, no good, TRAITOROUS BASTARD, he is.
A look at the chart of world oil price shows $117 today resting from recent high of $125 this week.
Only time in history when it was higher was when oBola was installed as preznit and gas approached our current prices.
Before Shitpants and his demoncronies printed trillion$ as they stole the WH using the coof Scamdemic, oil was $62.
Don’t believe that Shitpants acknowledges maff.
That’s one thing I DO NOT want to see is Biden’s tool.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the demented fool walks out for a press conference with it out of his pants.
CREATE a Problem, BLAME others. The Biden plan.
FJB
Again… so far he’s been Chynas most effective weapon in their arsenal!!
The idiot talks out of his ass because he was installed like a toilet!
Sounding like an ‘Atlas Shrugged’ moment.
So according to the communists in the WH, oil companies reduced capacity BEFORE he stole the election and now gosh darn it Putin’s actions are causing even more upward pressure on fuel prices..notice how he holds himself harmless? True sign of a narcissist and an asshole
I keep this handy little clip of Slow-Joe promising to get rid of coal, oil and gas. Handy to cue up when idiots are near. If they don’t want to watch it I turn up the volume. Starts about 40 seconds after the lead in.

I’m sorry, who was the worthless cunt who shut down the pipeline, cancelled drilling permits, & generally caused all this shit deliberately?
The oil companies just want to keep operating & turn a profit.
Joe just wants to see everything burn.
Oil is about to be nationalized.
“At a time of war…”
I must have missed that declaration. I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow to a time of martial law. Old Yeller is rabid. Put him down.
Obama’s target price for gasoline was $7/gallon. He was unable to pull it off in his first two terms. Adjusting for inflation, I imagine that target price is now closer to $10/gallon, and he would love to see it closer to $20.
Anything the Biden administration says or does regarding the price of energy, at this time, will be simply to distract the masses. This strategy was implemented because the masses were reluctant to embrace a utopian carbon-free future. This is our well deserved punishment. They have been openly discussing it for decades.
I also assume they pulled the trigger because they got away with open fraud in the 2020 elections and the Georgia senatorial runoffs. The only reason to placate the masses is to garner votes. If votes no longer matter, there is no longer a need to keep the masses happy.
The people squirming now are the willing dupes who are filled with doubt. The leaders of this have no such doubts. Biden is not one of those leaders, nor is he in control.
I would hope one of those execs responds and notes all the closers and cancelations and points out he is using the emergency powers to the MRO what he has done. And issues it for publication.
Yesterday I woke up about a half past ten
There was some woman I thought I knew
Saying oil’s going up again
I kept my cool, I ain’t no fool
Let me tell you what happened then
I scratched my head and I wondered
Who the hell that lady was. Anyway,
So take a letter Mayorka, address it to Big Gas
Better crank up those refineries, or I’m gonna kick their ass
So take a letter Mayorka, address it to Big Gas
Gonna confiscate their industry, if they don’t produce real fast.
Build some new refineries.
Are Trump and the “White Hats” ever going to get off their asses and stop this? The pendulum has swung too far.
