Jen Psaki

American political advisor and White House press secretary
No-nonsense White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Monday used “facts” to shoot down hectoring questions on mounting gasoline prices from Fox News reporter Peter Doocy. “I know that can be inconvenient,” she noted sarcastically.

Doocy pressed her on fuel prices as he dismissed the widely held position that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has triggered the recent leap in costs — and instead blamed Biden administration policies.

“There’s no question” the price hikes are a “direct result of the invasion of Ukraine,” Psaki responded. “Federal policies are not limiting the supplies of oil and gas,” she added.

When Doocy interrupted her, Psaki fired back: “Peter, let me give you the facts here. I know that can be inconvenient, but I think they’re important in this moment.”

Biden administration officials have been “clear” about the need for the U.S. oil supply to meet demand while also pushing for a shift to renewable energy sources, she said.

Psaki pointed out that the U.S. is one of the world’s largest producers of oil and gas, noting that oil production in the nation is at “record numbers.”

Meanwhile, there are “9,000 approved drilling permits that are not being used, so the suggestion that we are not allowing companies to drill is inaccurate,” Psaki added. “I would suggest you ask the oil companies why they’re not using those if there’s a desire to drill more.”

^^^^^

The oil game is a crazy fucking game. So many actors, levers, countries, groups, corporations, politicians, etc., etc.

I really need to read more about it. I have no idea how to cut the blame pie.

Blame is who is running the country. Democrats have the President and the Congress. Their strategy with energy and their failed policy toward Russia are direct contributors to this effort

Also we know gas, heating cost have risen as a direct result based on their policy day 1 and way before the Ukraine crisis. While Ukraine will make the problem worse, gas prices have been high way before this started.

But no more mean tweets

There will be no gas lighting Ukraine is the only cost of rising oil price.

Biden expected to ban Russian energy imports today

From CNN's Kaitlan Collins, Jeremy Diamond, Kevin Liptak and Phil Mattingly

US President Joe Biden is expected to today ban Russian oil, natural gas and coal imports to the US, according to three sources familiar with the decision.

The US will make the move unilaterally, without its European allies, due to disagreement among European nations about whether to ban Russian energy. EU countries have significantly more exposure to Russian energy than the US.

US officials decided, given the extreme political pressure at home, they could move without the coalition and not create major issues.

Biden is expected to address the news at 10:45 a.m. ET.

US imports from Russia make up a small slice of the energy universe — roughly 8% in 2021, of which only about 3% was crude oil. White House economic officials have been engaged for more than a week in how to manage any decision to cut off those imports, according to officials.

Going it alone wout Europe.

Gas was $3.30 gallon in January .. now its $4.17 and about to get a lot higher during the spring summer driving season.

Is anyone against allowing Venezuela to sell their oil on the global market to ease things? Maduro is a dictator and huge Russia ally but Im all for easing things, Maduro has expressed interest and in some trickle down way that would have to help the people of Venezuela.

Rather get oil from a weak dictator to hurt a strong dictator currently invading a sovereign country.

Perhaps weaken a Russian alliance.

^ it’s a tough call SS, but I’d try allies to the north in Canada see if we can import additional as well as getting keystone up and running.

Also calling our friends the Saudis too. Especially over that Middle East shithole Iran.

Fuck the OPEC+ and the Saudis in specifically.

Hopefully 20-40 years from now the world wont be dependent on oil and these gas station dictator monarch shit hole countries can go fuck themselves.

Short term we need to produce more oil, long term we need to r+D/produce non fossil fuel energy.

20-40 years from now majority of us will be driving E or alt fuel cars. Tractor trailers, fed ex trucks, amazon trucks, school buses = all electric.

Currently 70% of the oil used in the US is consumed by personal vehicles.

Teslas for everyone.

Bidens Build Better would have given us electric school buses vs our diesel powered ones.

Conservatives - "We need to increase domestic production ASAP!"

Liberals - 'We need to replace gas powered vehicles ASAP!"

We need to do both.

"Our friends" the Saudis ? chico, how many Americans are they allowed to kill with the approval of the president before they aren't our friends anymore?

SS the infrastructure bill gave 5 billion for electric school buses, there was bipartisan support for that!
