Oh noz... here we go again, the likelihood of another Deepwater Horizon event, like the one which reduced Jindal to rubble, looms.

Huh? That makes zero sense must be because you are clueless

So you're telling me that offshore drilling isn't potentially dangerous for the environment... and for the workers on the platforms? It is, and Deepwater Horizon simply foreshadows what could happen in the future.

The Federal licensed petroleum engineers approved a risky cost cutting well design which no other major company used. Texaco had the lease and turned it back in after several attempts to drill wells. Dominion then had the lease and also turned it back in before even trying drill a well.

Well if we’re going by a standard of economic activities that are POTENTIALLY dangerous to the environment and workers, there’s a whole lot of shite we better shut down and never allow to take place again.

Stay off the roads then, more deadly to be in car or work on a farm.
You must have lived a sheltered life.

A lot of domestic refineries have retrofitted to handle the lighter crude from the GOM and TX shale patch.

This represents the problem with trump. Regardless of facts he only has the same old tired talking points that may or may not be relevant. He's nothing but a big prop to beat up on Hillary. Problem is it isn't 2016
You have fallen so hard for left wing propaganda.

The Biden administration's most important climate action to date was signing the Inflation Reduction Act into law in August 2022, the most comprehensive climate legislation the U.S. has even seen.
quote:
President Biden has been clear that climate change is the existential threat of our time – and we must act with the urgency it demands to protect the future for generations to come. That’s why, since Day One, President Biden has led and delivered on the most ambitious climate agenda in history, which is lowering energy costs for hardworking Americans, creating millions of good-paying jobs, safeguarding the health of our communities, and ensuring America leads the clean energy future.
Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is announcing a temporary pause on pending decisions on exports of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to non-FTA countries until the Department of Energy can update the underlying analyses for authorizations.
quote:
As Republicans in Congress continue to deny the very existence of climate change while attempting to strip their constituents of the economic, environmental and health benefits of the President’s historic climate investments, the Biden-Harris Administration will continue to lead the way in ambitious climate action while ensuring the American economy remains the envy of the world.
Which will include reducing our beef consumption.
quote:
Biden’s war on energy’ Despite record-setting production, Biden has come under fire for his energy policy. “Unfortunately, this Administration continues to pursue policies designed to limit access to new production—most notably on federal lands and waters. The world will continue to demand more energy, not less, and we urge policymakers to recognize the role American energy production can play as a stabilizing force for consumers here at home and around the world,” American Petroleum Institute Senior Vice President of Policy, Economics and Regulatory Affairs Dustin Meyer, said in a statement on Tuesday.
quote:
Other non-OPEC oil producers including Canada and Brazil are also pumping more oil than ever before.
It’s funny that tds riddled minds think pumping more is a win for Biden. It only is if you have been full of shite about the climate.
quote:
Earlier this month at a GOP presidential primary debate, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis vowed to “open up all of our domestic energy for production” to “lower your gas prices.” DeSantis made a similar comment at the CNN town hall last week.
Dang guess we couldn’t vote for desantis either.
Our only option is Biden.

Very few have. A number of smaller refineries have instead been not only shutdown but torn down instead. They could handle light sweet crude but not condensate as feedstock. What has happened is that refineries are blending heavy with light for a crude oil cocktail, thus require Mexican and Canadian for at least blending purposes. We are no longer shipping Eagle Ford "crude" from Corpus Christi via ship to LOOP so it can be pumped up Capline and on to Canada to blend with produced very heavy crude to make it suitable to be pumped in pipelines without steam heating. Capline has since been reversed do crude oil being shipped out of the Gulf Coast is no longer possible via pipeline. Thats 1.2 million barrels per day of crude oil that can no longer be imported by ship.
Major refineries in the Midwest have reconfigured to process MORE heavy crude from Canada.
I am unaware of much 56-60 API gravity crude from the GOM.

There is a shitload of YEEHAW from both sides which completely clouds the issues.
I didn't vote for Biden and never will and never ever voted for a Democrat for president.
Desantis is YEEHAWING as well, it's what all politicians do best of all. Florida still has a block on drilling in the Eastern 1/3 of the Gulf of Mexico.
Biden did approve a shortline RR into the Unitah Basin in UT for some of the most easily refined crude oil available. It cannot be pipelined economically for even 100 miles due high paraffin wax content, even when cut 50% with lease condensate from local wet natural gas wells.
The news media, 100% of it is run by dullards who don't know shiite from shinola, regardless of their political ideology. So across the spectrum from Rachal Maddow to Alex Jones, dullards all.

I can understand floridas concern… those beaches are important natural resources for them.
Most rigs would probably be so far offshore they would not pose a threat to the view.
Now the threat of a BP style oil spill may deter some companies from drilling because one mistake would bankrupt them in fines and claims from losses in the tourism industry.

Agree.
Look, I understand voter in Florida, even some amongst Trump and DeSantis’s base, see Louisiana’s coast and what happened during the BP spill and don’t want to complicate that possibility on their state’s coast.
However, if Trump and DeSantis are going to throw out campaign rhetoric of “unleashing America’s reserves” and “u leashing American energy”, then they need to have a come to Jesus discussion with their home state folks. Because other wise, then throwing out such statements is your typical, politician, BS campaign gobbledygook.

Thanks for the compliment.
Interesting that a friend who passed away over a year ago at the age of 90 and involved in E&P as an owner since the early 1960's had zero clue as to types of crude oil sought by refineries. All he knew was selling oil to pipelines and traders with his business interests being global and what the price would be.
