h/t Breitbart; The Biden administration is testing new depths of mind blowing political dysfunction, by begging OPEC for more oil, while at the same time maintaining their attack on the US domestic oil industry.
Statement by National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on the Need for Reliable and Stable Global Energy Markets
AUGUST 11, 2021•STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
Higher gasoline costs, if left unchecked, risk harming the ongoing global recovery. The price of crude oil has been higher than it was at the end of 2019, before the onset of the pandemic.

While OPEC+ recently agreed to production increases, these increases will not fully offset previous production cuts that OPEC+ imposed during the pandemic until well into 2022. At a critical moment in the global recovery, this is simply not enough.
President Biden has made clear that he wants Americans to have access to affordable and reliable energy, including at the pump. Although we are not a party to OPEC, the United States will always speak to international partners regarding issues of significance that affect our national economic and security affairs, in public and private. We are engaging with relevant OPEC+ members on the importance of competitive markets in setting prices. Competitive energy markets will ensure reliable and stable energy supplies, and OPEC+ must do more to support the recovery.
Here’s a thought Jake – instead of being a spineless yes man, and begging for help from Middle Eastern and Russian suppliers who hate America, how about you do your job of protecting the national security and energy security of the United States, by telling your boss he has to immediately rescind all the new restrictions and pipeline cancellations he has imposed on the US energy industry?
President Trump proved by doing that the USA does not need anyone elses help to maintain a supply of affordable gasoline – all US energy businesses need is for the incompetent and meddlesome Biden administration to get out of their way.

Don’t forget that the Biden crime family is owned lock, stock and barrel by these interests. So no, Dementia Zhou is not going to do his job.
Synopsis:
President Biden to the American people early 2021: “We don’t need more oil.”
President Biden to OPEC mid-2021: “We need more oil!!!”
Score another point for the Globalist Cabal, which cannot succeed in their quest for world domination until and unless the US economy is irreparably broken. Whether the political left in this country is an active participant in this goal, or the Cabal’s ignorant dupes is beside the point. Either way the result is the same.
Rising gasoline prices are hurting Biden’s favorability ratings.
Biden said yesterday the higher prices were because of the oil companies not lowering the price of gasoline even though the price of oil was lower. More Biden lying, implying the oil companies are cheating the American people, in order to try to deflect blame from himself.
Biden also said he was against increasing gasoline taxes. He knows Americans don’t like higher gasoline prices.
This situation is one reason I don’t think a national CO2 tax is in the cards for the U.S., even with Biden at the helm, because a CO2 tax is just a gasoline tax by another name.
But this pipeline helps some as we already knew it would in between the political spin moves in public….
First New Oil Sands Pipeline in Years Could Start Next Month (yahoo.com)
And as I replied to your post with the same link in another thread, this pipeline will not be opening next month. It’s only 60% complete in MN!

“With the Canadian, North Dakota and Wisconsin segments complete, and Minnesota construction progressing well, we expect Line 3 to be fully in service during the fourth quarter.”
Even if it’s completed in the fourth quarter it’s not a NEW oil sands pipeline, just a replacement for the current line three and able to handle a little more product through the 36 inch pipe compared to current 34.
And here I thought that Griff’s CCP bosses were pulling Biden’s strings. Perhaps it was the Saudis all along?
Biden, Inc. has been in bed with the leaders of a lot of foreign nations. It’s very profitable for the Bidens. So, Joe Biden could have a lot of people blackmailing him for one reason or another.
