President Biden’s announcement that the United States will ban imports of Russian oil caused the price of crude to surge on Tuesday morning. However, the pain that Americans are set to feel at the gas pump could eventually be offset if Congress were to pass Biden’s Build Back Better agenda, a new study finds.
An analysis released Tuesday by the nonpartisan think tank Energy Innovation finds that the climate change provisions of Biden’s now-defunct proposal, such as tax credits for buying new electric vehicles, would have reduced U.S. oil consumption by 2025 by half of the roughly 200,000 barrels of crude oil from Russia

I suppose their target demographic for this nonsense is too young to understand what it means to say “it’s like a broken record”.

If you jack up the price per gallon to more than people can afford, they will buy less. Yes, brilliant... Now they wrap it up in 'science' and feed it to the masses like it's a great idea that solves the problem. But when people who used to be able to afford to drive to Grandma's on the weekend or drive to work can no longer afford it, it's going to be a hard sell to get them to vote for these Communists. Americans don't bake good peasants.

I live in the United States of America--still the greatest country on earth. I am a veteran and my service was to maintain the standard of living and quality of life for my fellow citizens. Why does our democrat politicians want us to reduce our consumption of energy? This strategy was started by Jimmy Carter when he morphed into FDR and delivered that "fireside chat" from the White House while wearing a sweater. That was the moment that I asked why our government wanted us to turn down our thermostats and feel the chill of winter like we were a third-world nation. That was why I decided to leave the democrat party and become a republican.
Today the democrats again want to make us depend on our sworn enemies for our energy requirements. Neither the Russians, Iranians, Chinese, Saudis or the democrats are on our side. We are Americans, and there is no reason why we should reduce our quality of life by not buying the type of (gasoline fueled) vehicles we desire to purchase.
The world will not be better or safer if the USA decides to lower itself to third-world status.

Fake news is alive and well. Anyone stupid enough to believe these lies should go ahead and give up all of their electronic devices and be the first to buy electric cars that most cannot afford, and that have no proper infrastructure to support them. I will see unicorns flying before any of this green Marxist utopian fantasy comes true.

Sheer idiocy and economic ignorance disguised as a study intended to push a dead political agenda.
This fool wants to print more money to crank up inflation even higher so that maybe in 3 years we will cut in half the oil we need from Russia over a war that will be over long before then.
Gas lighting propaganda b*** s*** of the worst sort.

Re #8. WEF has decided that the biggest problem in the world is that there is an "imbalance of wealth" between the USA and, say, African stinkholes. So, their "solution" (fully subscribed to by the entire Demonrat leadership cabal) is to lower the lifestyle of the average American to that of the average African country.
Then we have "equality". See how nice that is?
They are INTENTIONALLY destroying the US economy. They INTEND for all of us to be impoverished, have no jobs, no transportation, poorer diets, poorer housing, etc. They are OFFENDED by you having a nice home, a nice car, good food, a warm place to live. They hate you for that and they want it "FIXED", which involves, first destroying our ability to get the energy which is the keystone to our lives.
This is not an "error".
They are not "idiots".
They aren't "making mistakes".
This is their INTENT. This is carefully thought out. The crippling energy prices are the key tool to destroy the middle class.

reduce oil consumption = reduce the freedoms owned the residents of what to be considered the Free World.
Emergencies' have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.

Global warming is every politician’s dream: elect me and give my supporters money, and I’ll save the world in 100 years.
I can promise anything in 10 years; 100 years even more everything. I guess first i have to implant an undying belief that the world will end. By constant daily fearmongering through the marketing department known as “the media.”

The more the Greenies ruin this country, the MORE Democrats are going to be Republicans. THEY have to live in this country, work here, raise their Children here and They are beginning to see what an America will be like if Democrats are not stopped in their tracks. I would bet my HOUSE that the Mid-Term elections will be a LANDSLIDE! Even in Blue States!! I also believe that most Democrats in Congress see the Writing on the Wall and are frantically trying to steer the Boat towards Shore before She goes down in the biggest Storm to hit our Shores in History!! Keep it up Biden, John Kerry and the Rest of you Dumber that a Box of Rocks Democrats. Every day you add more D's to the R's!

What flaming idiots they are! We do not have the infrastructure to convert to EV's. We will need to double up on our power generation which requires either fossil or nuclear fuel. People who live in areas where they park on the street will not be able to charge their cars overnight. Battery powered cars come to full stop in subfreezing weather. Mostly, though, how many people can just dump their fossil fueled car to pay 30 or 40K for a new car and then have 10 Grand later on to replace the battery? An EV is ideal for a two car family that runs local errands and has a garage that can be set up with a charger and or has a short commute to work .

This is a big load of Horse Manure.
FIRST. That many electric cars are here to buy.
SECOND :IF they were here to buy the electric grid now available could not charge them.
THIRD: By the time the grid is ready the electricity will be a expensive as the gasoline and fuel oil is today since we are shutting down our power plants and raising the cost of fuel to power what's left.
These people believe the American people are fools. Those that voted for Joe Biden are,.

Lets do the math. Bidens 1.8 trillion dollar BBB Bill (more like 4 to 5 trillion, but whos really counting) will in 3 years reduce our dependance on russian oil by 1/2, (7% of our oil comes for russia so that would be about 3.5% devrease in our oil consumption)or as in the article 37 million barrels annually. that would be 370 million barrels over 10 years and using the 550 billion over 10 years number that not one sentient being thinks is even remotely accurate, that comes out to about $160 a barrel. To cut our oil useage by 3.5%. What economist would ever think that ROI is remotely acceptable?
And of course all those rare earth metals that would be required to make both the batteries for the cars and the compnents of the windmills come from places like China, Afghanistan and, of course, Russia. All the manufacturing for those components also come from China. So we would really just be exchanging one minor dependance on our worst enemies for another major dependance on our worst enemies.
Then there is that pesky little part about essentually paviing over a landmass the size of Texas to supply that renewable energy and an equally large investment on power transmission infrastructure to transport all that free clean energy from the desolate regions where it can be geerated to the leftwing population centers on the coasts. And I'm absolutely sure that not one single envirowhacko coalition will file a single environmental impact lawsuit about any of this vast land obliterating national construction project.
All of which will somehow be completed in less than 3 years.

Just check out Germany’s attempt at replacing fossil fuels with wind mills and ignoring nuclear energy. The Germans are not a stupid people. They know when alternative forms of energy are not mature enough to replace fossil fuels. They went back to begging Russia for fossil fuels and will return to do so

American fascism is truly the road to hell, as Biden tries to micromanage how much oil is produced, how much Americans consume, how much is paid for it, and which countries, lands, and oceans it comes from. Not to worry. An algorithm is being built to manage it all. Electronic devices added to vehicles to report mileage and usage for aggregation and reporting to central authorities. Credit card bills are gone over by government officials, who can't help but notice other expenditures you are making they don't approve of. Maybe you will be cut off. Visa, Mastercard, and American Express would do it in a second.

Months ago I rabbit holed upon a video of a non-millennial woman from California driving around in her EV but unable to find a place to "hook up".
Apparently, there is/was an app that tells EV owners where the charging stations are located so the woke can recharge. Either it was her or the app, but she was quite upset that the stations were nonexistent. It ended with her in some giant parking garage and the app didn't note where the station was. I wish I had kept the video.The whining was awesome. Hysterical.
