OPEC Reduction
 

OPEC has stated they will reduce oil production by 2 million barrels a day! Obviously they are contributing to the cold winter in Europe! Not a friendly gesture to Ukraine

OPEC is making their decision after consulting with Rusia. What does that tell you about our strength in world affairs.

Wish we would have continued to push for more drilling so we can make up the difference.

OPEC only cares about itself and maximizing their profits

Algeria
Angola
Ecuador
Equatorial Guinea
Gabon
Iran
Iraq
Kuwait
Libya
Nigeria
Qatar
Republic of the Congo
Saudi Arabia
United Arab Emirates
Venezuela

No friends of the West in that lot!

Yet we send money and food and guns to them,

Sad but true

It's not really 2 million barrels, most of the OPEC+ aren't meeting their quota, so the real number is more like 900,000 barrels. Still a big number.

OPEC's 13 members are:
Algeria
Angola
Equatorial Guinea
Gabon
Iran
Iraq
Kuwait
Libya
Nigeria
Republic of the Congo
Saudi Arabia
United Arab Emirates
Venezuela

Idea: Let's make the USA self-sufficient.

If only we were /less/ reliant on oil...why didn't anyone try to promote that years ago?

Hm.

Oh wait - they did. And their ideas were dismissed.

And here we are, deja vu all over again.

Going to need more energy from Unicorn Flatulence to make up the shortage.

We have plenty of oil right here in the good old USA......just sayin.

Seems like such an obvious idea wonder why certain people just dont get it.

Later on if electric vehicles take off demand will shrink on its own

American citizens above the Mason Dixon line are very grateful for heating oil and natural gas to fuel their furnaces. Solar is not sufficient for heat when it’s below zero and there is not enough sunlight in the long winter. I think people will be amazed how expensive and inefficient electricity is when EVERYTHING is run by electricity. Fossil fuels will always be important to the population but some use may be reduced. Florida may easily run off solar and wind energy if they aren’t concerned about the weather taking down their grid.

Exactly. Some people just can't grasp the need for change.
