What new EPA or OSHA legislation passed …


Jun 15, 2022, 2:22 PM

and regulations/ standards promulgated in the last 15 months?

Enforcement actions would likely be on regulatory requirements that have been around 20-30 years. Not sure “what’s changed.”

Guessing that EPAs Risk Management Program (RMP) / OSHAs Process Safety Management (PSM) may be some of the more onerous requirements given process hazard analysis and mechanical integrity elements _ yet these have been in play over 25 years. These regulations ultimately require investment in asset integrity and safety systems. Perhaps older refineries have not kept pace over the last several decades with proper maintenance expense and capital replacement?

the fossil fuel industry? Biden’s new Climate regs make it impossible for oil companies to do improvements or start up idle refineries.

When you asked the question when this issue was obviously purely Brandon's (because Russia invasion had not started yet) many people gave the rationale in the article.

Help future transportation capacity from Canada and some potential western fields. Plus IMO state of the art pipelines can be an environmentally safe mode of transportation compared to other modes.

More future than any immediate impact on today’s supply and price. Not sure if the various sections of the existing Keystone pipelines are at capacity.

We're stuck here and there's nothing anyone can do to fix it.

What baffles me, is no one admits that the actions we've taken over the past 2 years is what's gotten us here. People denying that are just arguing to support their team and aren't able to objectively look at the tape.

You can't declare war on an industry and then expect that industry to come to bat when you need them, at a time when the economy is teetering on the edge of a cliff.

Jun 15, 2022, 5:19 PM

this administration hasn't declared war on the oil and gas industry? Bless your little tin heart you little bot you.

You picked the lowest hanging fruit. This is the easiest to showcase.

I was kind of hoping you'd want to look at the tape, but that's a little too deep for you to swim isn't honey? Understanding macro economic trends based on data is way outside of asking stupid ####### questions.

This'll be my last response to you.

I'm going to (try) to go in chronological order:
1- Campaign Promises:
1a- "Getting to a 100% clean energy economy is not only an obligation, it’s an opportunity."
https://joebiden.com/climate-plan/
-
1b- "Paired with his historic, front-loaded investments in the power sector, Biden’s EECES will cut electricity bills LOL and cut electricity pollution, increase competition in the market and incentivize higher utilization of assets – and achieve carbon-pollution free energy in electricity generation by 2035."
https://joebiden.com/clean-energy/

Side note - stupid mother ###### wants zero emissions from electrical, and I don't see any proposals on the table to build nuclear facilities. Care to elaborate on this #### ####### poor policy, there bot?

2- Day 1 EO's:
2a- https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/01/20/executive-order-protecting-public-health-and-environment-and-restoring-science-to-tackle-climate-crisis/

Tweet plug:

4- Mobilizing the Yellen to identify climate related financial risk:

Which led to:

5 - EPA proposing new regulations on emissions of existing operations

6- Windfall Tax

Jun 15, 2022, 5:32 PM

So with all that copy and paste, what specific actions has Biden done to be the difference from $2 gas to $5 gas? The only thing in all of that is pipeline and federal land leases, which has almost no effect on what we are seeing today.

2024 orange level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Declared war on oil and gas


Jun 15, 2022, 5:57 PM

c'mon sweety, keep up.

Plenty of references to that - as originally asked - here:

https://www.tigernet.com/clemson-forum/message/lol---so-youre-saying-30826421


I guess leveraging the Treasury department to determine risk of a specific industry vertical, leading to SEC Regulations, calling for windfall taxes, and writing big bad threatening letters is just "pipeline and federal land", right?

At what point do you start evaluating the administrations' policies and holding them accountable? I'll wait.

I like the new code they wrote for you. Sick one liner. Question. I'll wait. It works great for slinging mud at pointless ####, which you do very well, but when it comes to having logical conversations you're a little out of your depth.

But this discussion isn't complete with acknowledging other factors too, like material/supply-chain issues, labor issues, and general industry/investor skidishness after getting absolutely decimated in 2020 and 2021.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yep... Was reading an article this morning where the Chevron


Jun 15, 2022, 3:26 PM

CEO, Mike Wirth, stated that he does not believe another oil refinery will be built again in the United States due to over-burdensome Government policies.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/chevron-ceo-there-may-never-be-another-oil-refinery-built-in-us-again_4532440.html


Also caught a CNN segment with our stupid Energy Secretary (Jennifer Granholm) this morning while at the gym. Of course their solution to our "not enough energy for demand" problem was to threaten a "profit surtax" on US energy companies. It is amazing how stupid these people in the Biden orbit are as a "profit surtax" will do nothing but cause our gas prices to rise even more as well as reduce output. It's almost as if they want the gas prices to go higher as quickly as possible...

What the Congress and Administration should be doing is talking with guys like Mike Wirth and all his counterparts at Exxon, BP etc... to figure out what Government can do to help them increase output as quickly as possible. Listen to the US guys who actually pull oil out of the ground and refine it instead of a bunch of environmentalist nutjobs whose only goal in life is to demonize and kill the fossil fuel industry.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yes meaningful engagement with the oil companies


Jun 15, 2022, 4:45 PM

Is needed. This should have happened in January when US intelligence thought the Russian invasion of Ukraine was imminent.

But not buying oil executives impersonating Eyeore nor environmentalists saying that oil companies are the devil reincarnated. Extreme rhetoric leads to extreme positions and large oscillations in government policy.

Re: No you didn't


Jun 16, 2022, 12:04 PM

Look, invective aside, you're saying: "hey, Biden declared war on an industry", which is sort of true. The approach has been confrontational.

The problem is that Big Oil, instead of reading the tea leaves and morphing itself into "Big Energy" that's committed to transitioning itself over to renewable sources, has just made a token public show of doing so...while at the same time funding bogus anti-climate research, funding a massive and furious climate-denial PR campaign, and pouring dark money hand over fist into the campaign coffers of politicians on both sides of the aisle to kill any kind of green-energy initiatives and keep us hooked on their product. Heck, in Florida and other red states increasingly they're even trying to kill buyback options for solar energy pumped back into the grid.

That isn't just "confrontational", one could argue it's actually treasonous or at least criminally irresponsible given the looming climate crisis, and that we're going to have to rip these parasites out by the roots if we're ever going to make the transition over.

So I guess the question is, even if the Biden Administration had tried a collective agreement - and I agree, they did not, they just tried and failed to pass BBB only to see Manchin, who is thoroughly in the pocket of both coal and oil - summarily kill it...would Big Oil even have been amenable to a compromise?

They seem to be taking the NRA's all-or-nothing, don't-give-an-inch approach. (Which as an aside is why I found it a particularly bold move Tesla went into Texas. At some point you'd think Texas politicians are going to have to choose between Tesla and Big Texas Oil. Can Elon really win that fight?)

Big Oil effectively seems to be holding America - and the world, actually - hostage. They certainly aren't showing any signs they're interested in being part of the solution.
