I'm not the one proposing telling refineries in the US where they can and can't buy their stock.




How in the world is utilizing the fossil fuels we have and becoming energy independent telling refineries where they can buy their stock?

What is subverting the free market is purposely handcuffing the oil and gas industry to raise prices which is exactly what the Biden administration is doing

No shite. the free market line got me too.

We are actively regulating fossil right out of business, jacking with permits and leases, brushing them off federal lands, and funding nascent, competing renewables with tax dollars to the tune of trillions.

Get tf out of the way and let it happen. Duke, NRG, Enel, even Entergy ALL have a fossil, nuclear, and renewables sourcing strategies.

That implies we can't sell those supplies on the global market while we buy the supplies to generate our energy from foreign sources.

Perhaps I'm not understanding what is meant by, "utilizing the fossil fuels we have" in the context of the fact the we already utilize domestic supply - as well as foreign supply. Is it being proposed that we do things differently, or not? Because it looks to me like people are saying we shouldn't use foreign sources. I'm not sure how to accomplish that outside of telling refineries not to buy foreign sources.

It’s the government telling these companies what they CAN’T do that’s the problem. And that’s what is inhibiting the free market.

But idiots don’t get that. Or worse they do get it but don’t care.
