The sanctions noise.Isn’t oil his lifeline?
He claims we are still buying over a half 1 million barrels a day from Russia, what’s they’re daily total?
The sanctions are not on oil and gas.
Coal is their lifeline. If we import less oil we will be more dependent on coal. That is the reason behind his fake outrage. Is he calling for investments in renewable energy?
Not only should we increase our production but we should not be importing any energy products. After all these years we still haven't learned.
I don't think the US stopping imports of Russian oil will affect coal. We will just get oil from someone else and someone else will get the Russian oil, it's a global market.
All the calls for more renewable energy are completely tone-deaf. While it can make sense over the long term, it will do absolutely nothing to help this crisis. For right now we need to swap foreign fossil fuels for domestic fossil fuels. We need to do everything in our power to bring down the global price of oil, that's what will really hurt the Russians and it will reduce the funding we are providing the Russians for their war.
