[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2466651, member: 118038"] When Oil went to $10 per bbl in 2014 and then actually went negative a week, where a producer had to pay the pipeline or a truck to haul his oil away, I wonder why they responded to less regulation, and more encouragement post 2016 to produce so much oil in 2019 and 2020 that the USA was energy independent? At $55 to $70 a barrel, the oil business was happy to create hundreds of thousands of great paying jobs in America, and to create wealth that stayed in America, and not to rely on Saudi Arabia or Russia to outsource all our jobs and wealth, and to make our country hostage to their diktats and whims. It was like that until Early 2021...... They sure could have all quit in 2014, but they did not and made herculean efforts to survive, and thrive even on low oil prices. The reason the oil business is in hibernation or mothballs right now and why we are buying Iranian oil and Russian oil right now, and trying to make deals with Maduro right now to buy Venezuelan oil too has nothing to do with the patriotism of the oil companies. Our own government has regulated them into mothballs, shut them down, stopped leasing, stopped them drilling, and has supported having major banks to stop lending them any capital. The government we have right now has tried to bankrupt them, regulate them into oblivion, and has closed major pipelines even from our Canadian neighbors. If anybody is unpatriotic, it is our own government. We have a government of clowns and misfits with a green new deal ideology that trumps producing our own oil at low cost, creating American jobs, and American wealth. Our current govt. would rather pay communist despots and islamic despots and Latin dictators and export our jobs and wealth and raise oil prices and gas prices through the roof on its own citizens for the sake of ideology gone bonkers. No, its not the oil companies who are sitting back not drilling as oil goes to $200 because of their greed. Their rigs are stacked in mothballs because our government wants it that way and has done everything they can to make it so. Policy Matters.
