CBS pretentious pretender Margaret Brennan interviews Joe Biden’s Energy Security Coordinator Amos Hochstein about the trip to the Gulf Arab States and subsequent energy policy developments. [CBS Transcript Here] Hochstein spins the non-existing benefits of the trip by attributing the pre-existing Saudi cease-fire in Yemen as an outcome of Biden talking to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Quite a stretch.
Hochstein still thinks there is going to be a way for ‘western governments‘ to place price caps on Russian oil exports by getting the entire planet to agree only to pay Russia a set price for oil. With Russia an OPEC+ member, and the members of OPEC not in ideological alignment with the Biden administration on a host of geopolitical issues, good luck with that. The producers (OPEC) have control over what prices the consumers (Non OPEC) pay; they are not going to give up that mechanism just to please the Biden administration.
On the domestic front, while there is little possibility of a global oil production increase from OPEC, Hochstein claims to have assurances from U.S. oil producers they will increase their production capacity by November. At the same time the institutions in charge of Biden energy policy are going to keep targeting the oil producers to destroy them. Quite a weird dynamic. Hochstein finishes by saying solar and windmills are the future of U.S. energy production and if we invest more, well, we can save the planet. WATCH:
It is worth remembering what MbS said about the meeting: “We agree on many things, but we differ on a few others. Every country has its own culture and circumstances. I respect yours, you respect mine. Do not impose your culture on us. Do not impose your beliefs on us.” … “We agree we need to do more for climate change, but you guys are doing it wrong by favoring certain energy sources over others. The world needs energy security. We need all energy sources including oil & gas. We are doing our part on both fronts: climate change & energy security.” … “The stage of a country’s economic & social development must be considered in climate change negotiations.” … “We are increasing our production capacity to 13 million barrels per day (from 12 mb/d), but that is it. We cannot do more.”
The message here is: You guys do your part and invest more if you want to avoid energy crises, recessions and unemployment. Do NOT blame us!
[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: Welcome back to Face The Nation. As President Biden met with Middle Eastern leaders last week, he was accompanied by Amos Hochstein, the Special Presidential Coordinator for International Energy Affairs. He’s with us now. Mr. Hochstein, Welcome to Face The Nation. Good to have you here in person.
PRESIDENTIAL COORDINATOR ON ENERGY SECURITY AMOS HOCHSTEIN: It’s great to be in person. Thank you.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So you were one of the few US officials in the room when President Biden met with Saudi leaders. Why was this trip worth the political risk? What did you get?
HOCHSTEIN: Well, I think this was a historic trip. First, it started just landing in Saudi Arabia in Jeddah, as the first-ever flight from for a president to fly from Israel, directly to Saudi Arabia, with the backdrop of Saudi Arabia, opening the announcing that they’re opening the skies for the first time for Israeli Aircraft, for all aircraft, including flights to and from Israel over its airspace, comes on the backdrop of a major achievement over the last few months of a ceasefire in Yemen, where 1000s of people have been killed. Over the last seven years, this has been the longest ceasefire we’ve had with a commitment from Saudi Arabia to work to extend the ceasefire even further; major announcements for food security and achieving contributions from the GCC from the Gulf countries on food security.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But none on oil, yet.
HOCHSTEIN: Well, we had a major announcement on cooperation on energy writ large. And if you recall, just before the President announced his trip just a few days before that OPEC+ made a- a major shift and its policies, recognizing that since Putin started amassing forces, the markets have been affected, and that there was a supply-demand issue and announced increases in supply over 50% for July and August. And I’m, based on what we heard, on the trip, I’m pretty confident that we’ll see a few more steps in the coming weeks.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So OPEC+ meets August 3. Saudi has some, very little spare capacity. So are you saying you got a wink and a nod that they’re going to pump more?
HOCHSTEIN: I think what we discussed, first of all, it’s not just about Saudi, it’s about we met with with the GCC and with Saudi Arabia. There is, I’m not going to go into how much spare capacity there is in Saudi Arabia and in UAE and Kuwait, etc. But there is additional spare capacity, there is room for increased production. As we’ve told producers in the United States, we’ve had conversations over the last several months and weeks, with OPEC. And I believe that there is still more room to-to see additional steps.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Saudi says it’s got like a million spare barrel capacity.
HOCHSTEIN: Again, it’s not just about Saudi, this is OPEC. So, there are other countries as well. So, we needed to see a little bit more. But let’s-let’s look at what has happened since the President announced his trip. Oil prices at that point were at about $120. Today, oil prices are around $100, $101. So that’s a $20 decline based on the steps–
MARGARET BRENNAN: –some of that economic concerns, though China, looking like it’s slowing and concerns here about consumption going down.
HOCHSTEIN: So there’s no doubt there’s never one reason why oil prices go up while goes down. As you know, in oil prices go up, they tend to say there’s only one reason; that’s the part of the political leadership. But if you think about it this way, over the last few months, the President has supplied the US market with a million barrels a day, which is a historic level from the strategic reserve. We’ve never done that before.
MARGARET BRENNAN: And that, what, ends in September?
HOCHSTEIN: No that-that will end towards the end of the year.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Will it end towards the end of the year? Can you afford to stop putting emergency supply on the market?
HOCHSTEIN: Well, look at what has happened. The private sector, as we talked to them, the United States said they can increase production in the United States by about a million barrels a day. But it’s going to take time to invest in it, it will come at the end of the year. So we stepped in, the president stepped in and said ‘I’ll fill that gap.’ So hopefully, my expectation is that the private sector in the US will have those increases coming, so we don’t need to have the emergency from the US government. In the meantime, we’ve seen the prices, both the oil price, but also the price of the pump has come down at the fastest rate that we have seen in over a decade. So, from over $5. And remember this just a few weeks ago–
MARGARET BRENNAN: –still pretty high, but it’s still pretty high. It may have come down a bit.
HOCHSTEIN It’s not $5 anymore, it’s now $4.55. And I expect it to come down more towards $4. And we already have many gas stations around the country that are below $4. So we’re this is the fastest decline rate that we’ve seen against a major increase in oil prices during a war in Europe, where one of the parties in the war is the third largest producer in the world. So these are extraordinary circumstances we’ve taken very tough measures to address them right away, both for the American consumer but really for global economy, too.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, we’ll watch to see if those gas prices continue to fall. I want to ask you about what the administration is pushing around the world which is this concept of putting a cap on the price of Russian oil that is sold, so that it’s not cutting back on the amount but rather the windfall profits Putin can profit off of it. What’s to stop Vladimir Putin from just saying, fine, I’m just going to stop pumping.
HOCHSTEIN: Well, I think that the wait, look the price cap is–
MARGARET BRENNAN: –Does that ruin your plan, if he does that?
HOCHSTEIN: Well, first, he could do that tomorrow, regardless of what we do on a price gap. You know, Putin has been an unreliable supplier, unfortunately. But I think what we’re doing is we’re designing the mechanisms so that he can still, he’d still would have revenues he needs those revenues to, that’s the only revenues he really has in his country. There’s nothing else in Russia except for oil and gas.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, JP Morgan says he’s got enough cash that he’s sitting on, that he could cut by 5 million barrels in that extreme example, that the price of oil would go up to over $300 a barrel, almost $400 dollars a barrel.
HOCHSTEIN: Well, what we want to be able to do is to mitigate where the price of oil on the world market doesn’t actually impact Russia at all, because we’re going to put a price cap, so that all they have is to get that price at no more than that.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right.
HOCHSTEIN: We believe that that is the way to do it. So if prices go up, he still won’t get that price and we can reduce that price.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Why would India or China comply?
Well, first, at the G7, a couple of weeks ago, the G7 endorsed this idea as a good idea. We’re now starting to have the conversations with the major consumers. And I would ask the question the other way around, doesn’t every buyer try to get a lower price? So, I think every buyer is incentivized to pay less. And I’ll go a step further. Right now, regardless of what you see as the global oil price. That’s not what Putin’s getting. So these headlines about Putin getting some kind of a math between how much is he selling times the price of oil in the world, that’s not his revenue, because he’s already agreed to major discounts–
MARGARET BRENNAN: –He’s still taking in money and he’s still funding this war. So–
HOCHSTEIN: That’s what we’re trying to stop.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right. But in the meantime, I want to ask you quickly about the president’s climate change efforts, this bill, and his proposal is completely stalled right now. The president says he’s going to take executive action, what is the plan? What are you going to actually do here in the United States?
HOCHSTEIN: Well, I think we’ve tried to get a plan where we can incentivize, great incentives for US investors–
MARGARET BRENNAN: –But you can’t block new oil and gas drilling, right? You can’t do some of those things, because they would counter your efforts.
HOCHSTEIN: Well, I think what we want to do in this in this bill that we’ve proposed, and we are hopeful that we still hope that that’s what Congress does, is to give it the kind of incentive assurances that we can have additional American investment in climate, renewable energy electric vehicles. Why wouldn’t we want to do that? Why would we want to make-to create an environment in which China is ahead of us? The rest of the world is making the investments and we’re not. We want to be able to put the kind of incentives that will be additional investment in the infrastructure for renewable energy, for solar, for wind, and for electric vehicles and for our nuclear fleet in this country. That’s how we get to climate. We didn’t get that today. The President is determined to take some action that he can through executive orders, and through other actions. We’ll see what we can do this weekend in the coming weeks. But again, I think that the responsibility here is to be able to invest into our future, whether we like it or not this those-some don’t like it. This is the future of energy markets in the United States and around the world. We got to decide do we want the US to lead, or do we want the Chinese to lead this?
MARGARET BRENNAN: You got to convince Senator Joe Manchin, we’ll be talking about that ahead in the segment, thank you very much for coming in. [LINK]
…”And then he said, Texas has no wind for the windmills. Yes, Texas!”
How many windmills are in Martha’s Vineyard, or Long Island Sound? Asking for a friend.
If the Climate Communists were really interested in “saving” the climate, why not just pick up the phone and ask, instead of flying around the world in private jets? Such BS.
62 are planned. All just over the horizon.
In that same vein, I wonder how many of the rich elites who are preaching climate change on a daily basis actually do the work of recycling their own garbage like I do? I don’t talk about it or go around judging others, I just do it. I do all the separating and then I haul it off myself. I’m far more efficient than the garbage collectors, whether they are city owned or privately owned too. The point is that these people are all talk and no do but they demand that you make sacrifices. To hell with every last one of them.
I’d like to know if the ruling class will have their executive chefs switch from natural gas to electric cooktops??
recycling is a bit of farce, china does not buy our cardboard, glass or aluminum anymore. in the off season one truck picks up recycling and trash. all goes into the same truck.
I know some operators that work at burning plant/ generators and when the recycling shows up it is placed in the pit in a special spot. It is then burned gradually along with the rest of the trash. Trash recycling is bull spit!!!!
Yep, skids of sorted garbage created at great expense, just to be burned as it should be.
Outside of aluminum which actually has recycle market value, recycling always was virtue signaling. Our hardcwork ends up in the landfill.
I found the following:
https://theconversation.com/us-approves-its-first-big-offshore-wind-farm-near-marthas-vineyard-its-a-breakthrough-for-the-industry-160747
Wonderful! Will it be close enough to decapitate them when a hurricane arrives?
Oh boy. It’ll be fun to watch the aftermath when the next Cat 4 or 5 Atlantic hurricane slams into those…with 50 ft high waves….
Will the noise (low frequency) be able to be heard at Obama’s spread in Martha’s Vineyard?
We need to find out where these people live, and start petitions for windmills!
Giant wind factories have despoiled all the windiest sections of land FIRST. And now … each successive (not be be confused with successful) wind factory is built on slightly (or greatly) less windy sites. Hence … each new wind factory is less and less and less efficient and productive. It’s simple logic. Why is nobody talking about it? What? Do they think the wind blows the same velocity for the same duration over every square foot of the planet? Nonsense.
Skittles, Rainbows and Unicorn Farts will save the environment, dontcha know?
The windmills are only about 25% efficient based on the stated calculations of output.
But, they are 100% efficient at killing birds and despoiling everything, period.
They break easily, kill birds and the parts cannot be recycled
And the blades are manufactured in China!
A better question is to ask them is how they are going to build any of them without coal, oil and gas?
How many bees are in Bucks County, PA? Probably nothing to do with this but gardeners in NJ and PA are hand pollinating our vegetables like summer squash now. Something is destroying our flying friends from feathers to sharp bottoms, they are all disappearing.
PDJT talks about the devastation of wind. The rare earth problem of solar. They are destroying us and blaming it on our existence.
Willful blindness leading to monumental ignorance. If it were not so catastrophically dangerous it would be a marvel to observe.
Only the extremely corrupt and or pathetically stupid can make any sense of begging another nation for oil when the US has the greatest supply of untapped oil reserves anywhere on the globe. Their absolute ignorance is like a kitten who plays in a litter box but craps just outside of it. How utterly stupid you’d have to be to buy into or agree with this nonsense
They are not on Team America – they are executing their Loyalty perfectly.
make everyone climate Changey – and rule over them with your private oil supply.
They have been saying we are “transitioning” to green energy. The only thing that is happening is destruction of our energy sector. There are no extra windmills or solar farms being put up. In fact there was more of that going on when Trump was in office.
its pedophile logic. they have their hand on the leg talking about getting dirt offf the childs leg.
they do not give a damn about windmills – they open the company – steal the gov money – bankrupt it, repeat the processs OVER AND OVER.
Tax dollars in = Tax dollars out to their wallets.
2024 is how long we have to wait. and it isnt for VOTINGGGGG, its for the ONLY agreed time for transition – and fight like HELL
I just really dislike when they throw around this word investments. How different it would sound if he were to say “We need to tax the middle class so we can spend billions on green energy”
I see no evidence they are at all concerned of, or focusing on the concept of “income/outgo”; do they even know or care about revenue (income) as they spend in a way that makes drunken sailors look like spendthrifts?
“TAXES,….REVENUES?
WE don’t NEEED no stinkin revenue! With Mad Monetary Theory (fantasy) WE create the $, so WE can create as much as we want!
A trillion here, a trillion there,..sooner or later it adds up to real money,…
But WE don’t CARE!”
They are God on Earth. We are knelt to their Will.
We play by the Rules. They break the rules. They win , we lose.
encouraging people to be angry (from all sides) is the only solution. flipping the board game over.
If memory serves me it was either BJ Clinton or BH Obozo who started referring to taxes as “investments.” And Rush Limbaugh was all over that BS pointing out the glaringly hypocritical use of the term.
Their stupidity is surpassed only by their contempt for us all.
I suggest we just stop thinking they are stupid, whether its true or not. thinking they are stupid doesnt make us angry enough to flip the board game over. they are killing us on purpose with intent knowing the outcome and seeking it.
Brags about a cease fire in Yemen they had nothing to do with, and no mention of a cease fire in Ukraine they have studiously blocked.
And THIS,……THIS is the U.S. Coordinator for Energy policy?
“Hey, the Crown Prince has been a little,…glum lately. What can we do, to raise his spirits?”
“Hm,….I know! We’ll invite that idiot pretender, Biden, for a visit. That should be good for some laughs!”
“Yup, that’ll do it!”
hilarious……..”good for some laughs.”
Thanks for providing the transcript because I just can’t bring myself to watch and listen to these disgusting people. I just can’t stand the sight of them or the sound of their voices. They’re just too revolting.
CUT THE CORD!!
I did in 2005. I will not watch these traitors lie!
She was an interruption machine today. Frustrating.
She is to the Energy guy, as Ghislaine Maxwell was to Epstein. faking the care, while letting kids be …..
My adult sport and family recreation is sailing. I can’t wait for Biden to go to Texas and tell them to increase the wind.
We never went to Texas to race after Memorial Day. Lack of reliable wind for racing.
Deluded or deceitful?
Refried Obama’s “energy whisperer”, see comPost, killed East Med pipeline and is butchering the Israel/Lebanon maritime borders for mineral rights and more. Pure maniacal.
It’s really laughable. You’d think a “news” organization with the resources of a CBS would know about the pre existing cease fire, would know what the prince told FJB and would be able to push back a little to this mid-wit if for no other reason than to save face as journalists.
But they’re all in for now. They don’t care.
But truth is a force of nature.
FJB will be resigning after the November election. It’s the only way the dems remain viable. Their media whores are beginning to peel away. The big tell will be when stupid Margaret asks a real question.
Nah, never let a manufactured crises go to waste.
They will “Dallas” him, and the set up fall guy, will be portrayed as a MAGA Nationalist.
Its been their “baked in” exit strategy from the beginning, and why they picked Joe.
Obama to Joe;”You don’t HAVE to do this, Joe! You really DON’T.”
For Joe, going out with alzheimers, vs being assasinated and (he imagines) lauded, it wasn’t anything to ponder, the choice was clear.
which is why the humans on earth’s focus should be on the Epstein clients. its the only Uniting topic, and it brings the house down.
MbS has more sense and integrity than FJB and Hochstein and the rest of the “climate change” regime.
You expressed my thoughts! Not sure about the integrity but he gets it.
Going to need more than windmills. Russia has just destroyed the HIMARS that were gifted to Ukraine
You know, with all the spinning this administration does, they could generate enough power to run half the country.
When those frat boys and Karens outlaw PLASTIC I will consider energy alternatives. But as long as there are plastic bags every where you look, plastic being used in the manufacture everything from cars to toys and certainly NOT biodegradable, I will not consider any energy alternatives.
Plastic made from OIL, I assume you mean?
They DID address this issue, with the plasic insulation on the wiring in cars,…they use soy, to make the plastic insulation on new cars.
I live in “rural America” and know 4 who have had their wire harnesses in their new cars, chewed up by rodents.
Fortunately, all my vehicles are pre-2000, and so no worries.
Those little bastids got me.
Yep, because it turns out that plastic recycling is a huge SCAM.

All solutions come from somewhere other than Made In AMERICA! We become Useless Eaters! Calling in Henry Kissinger!
PROBLEM SOLVED; American Deplorables volunteered to leave for the good of the planet. No Americans, No Christians, No Whites, No resistance to Democrat Utopia.
The scientists have been watching the environmental impact the fans have on the lesser prairie Chicken in Kansas.
In a matter of time the chicken wins like the lizard in the Permian Basin (midland Tx) will hinder drilling permits.
Every genius Greenie Weenie solution is hampered by some “environmental damage” discovery in a matter of years.
Oh and the fans and solar need backup power supply. Big oil lobbies for fans which enhances demand for gas powered turbines.
Gas production of course brings in directional drilling and …fracking… which enhances production from tight formations.
Let’s play a special game: We’ll call it the “Carrot and Stick” game. You know a carrot is food and is good for you, right? The stick is what we use to hit you, to use force…pain is the right word.
Climate change…old game where “the end is near” which means you must do something or just let it happen. Climate change rests on the “belief” that man is bad, he is destroying this planet. (Insert the thoughts of Buckminster Fuller). You are automatically guilty.
We will use the stick to avoid destroying the planet…due to climate change. Did we forget something?
Yes, we most certainly did: The notion of narcissism to be exact. Think about this, our planet has been in existence for how many thousands upon thousands of years. Yet, man is so powerful we can destroy it in a matter of generations (25 yrs. average per generation). Who is kidding who here?
Here comes the stick (pain for you). Climate change is all about taking more control of your lives…slaves! Fuller did not think this way, but he presented the notion of “Spaceship Earth” where we are stewards and this is our spaceship…we must take better care of it. Period. Now look at how “our betters” are going about doing this.
See any carrots out there? All I see are sticks being swung at us every chance the elites can take on every subject they seek control over. You always hurt the one you love…right?
Ah, you have no IMAGINATION or BELIEF; You need to IMAGINE the Utopia that is always just around the corner, and then fervently, to the exclusion of reality,…..BELIEVE.
Its there, it REALLY IS!
Trust us!
(Major Sarc!)
any influence we had over oil production dissapeared when our military became a laughing stock.
the only reason America’s failed mismanagement of its currency worked, was because of our enforcement tool and offered “protection” to other countries.
They no longer need protection by us. We are knee capped.’
For fun – Read about the time PDJT told Saudi to Jump and they said “already in the air”
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-global-oil-trump-saudi-specialreport-idUSKBN22C1V4
PDJT also sold the Saudis a boatload of weopons, so they could defend themselves, instead of relying on the U.S.
Almost like he saw this coming,….;-)
Oh boy, can we get in on the IPO for Solyndra 2.0 or is that restricted to Nanzi and her husband?
No.. the rest of the world is not making investsments in green energy, only the globalist side of the western type governments..with money from people who knows it is unsustainable, but have no say in the matter, thanks to our so- called leaders. The U.S , with the help of a petulant puppet and his admin. of weirdos insisting that it is.
China, India and a multitude of countries are buying Russian gas and oil. The clowns behind the bbb will face the rath of Americans sooner than they think. Late fall and winter are inevitable and prices will continue to rise. In the meantime Russian wheat harvest is expanding while Americans have 5% less to harvest thanks to reduced fertilizer and huge increases in fuel costs. China Russia and countries like Iran and those around the Caspian Sea are aligned with Russia in a new silk route These Countries are large producers of natural gas and oil. We , on the other hand are fiddling away our source of prosperity. Wind and Solar will bring us to our knees. FJB.
Soo OPEC oil must be cleaner than ours.. Right? Why don’t they line these verbose liars of this Mal-administration up in front of these windmills, let them have all the cocaine, vodka and RedBull they can stomach and see if their longwinded BS can get us out of this jackpot we are in.
its the mafia. they basically say they control AIR, and just cause AIR is near you it doesnt mean you can have it. you must run it through OPEC and they will sell it back to you.
dumbass system
What a bunch of propaganda….
You put sanctions on Russia- then have the audacity to say Russia is an unstable supplier?
Really? Are people just going accept that statement and not question the obvious–slap in your face–we think you are stupid–propaganda……
they know we are weak, and domesticated. they took it from us in Nov 2020, and after that – they knew we aint shit.

The USA Worried about China’s Restrictions on the Export of Rare Earth Magnets
https://www.stanfordmagnets.com/chinas-restrictions-on-the-export-of-rare-earth-magnets.html
At present, the consumption of rare earths in the United States, including rare earth magnets, is highly dependent on China.
More than 90% of the world’s rare earth permanent magnet supply comes from China, and the United States also needs to import nearly 70% of rare earth magnets from China. For example, a Citigroup report showed that China’s total magnet exports reached 1.7 billion U.S. dollars, of which, of the approximately 395 million U.S. imports, 257 million U.S. dollars came from China.
“Rare Earths” are NOT rare.
December 7, 2020
U.S. Legislation Helped Create the “Rare Earths” Crisis
https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/us-legislation-helped-create-rare-earths-crisis-173877
Domestic production became less viable because U.S. production costs were relatively high, and the regulatory costs of U.S. mining and refining operations were increasing. Extraction and processing of rare earths requires techniques considered especially taxing on the environment and have been subject to fairly tight regulations in the United States and in most other developed countries.
Apparently, there is a bonanza of R.E.M’s buried on Skinwalker Ranch in Utah..
Too bad there’s no real market for all of that thorium bound up in those minerals that those rare earths are sourced from.
Didn’t DJT fly nonstop Arabia to Israel? Either way that’s the best you got?

The US is being weakened for other reasons. So-called “green” or “renewable” energy is part of this.
So far, the so-called green or sustained energy isn’t less toxic or more sustainable than oil, gas or coal.

he Meant BRICS is the Daddy now – and NATO better shut the mouth.
Who is this asshat? Price of gasoline is coming down faster than has ever been seen? And does he realize the Strategic Oil Reserves are owned by We The People?
I wouldn’t trust a thought that made its way out of his pie-hole!
there are so many contradictions and just outright phoney assumptions made by this embecile.
what this administration NEEDS is a NAVARRO.

This Global Warming lie will be the end of us.
On the positive side, watching cold fish Margaret Brennan reminds me of how lucky I am in my marriage.
“But if you think about it this way, over the last few months, the President has supplied the US market with a million barrels a day, which is a historic level from the strategic reserve.” ~Hochstein
It’s a damnable lie, but Margaret will give him a nod and a wink on that.
I haven’t heard of any of out SPR’s actually making it to our US market, so how does that help at all? Expecially when it’s shipped halfway across the world to China, and never even gets put it into circulation. All that oil China gets their hands on is going to their strategic oil reserves. A double-whammy for Americans getting crushed at the pump.
To put it in contemporary parlance … MbS told Biden and his puppeteers … “you do you … and let Saudi Arabia do ourselves”
Actually Saudi Arabia and most of the world is doing us too.
I can’t figure out if they are more arrogant or ignorant? He seems to actually believe that they can cap the price Russia can charge for oil and gas and that they should have the ability to control what every country on earth purchases and for what price.
Sit in silence and contemplate how in the world we as a society have produced such arrogance in mediocrities like him and most of our government and universities.
Meanwhile

It was so bad some say it was done on purpose.
What a load of crap also from the Saudi’s. Climate change my ass. “We need to do more on climate change”. Not a single leader that I am aware of is willing to state the truth, that the climate change garbage is just that…f’ng garbage. Geopolitical partners or not, MbS is full of shit. He simply made his entire argument circle down the toilet with that comment. It tells you he’s an insincere bull-shitter.
Sometimes it becomes so clearly evident that the Left is completely and utterly insane. I just can’t believe they haven’t been stopped. Actually I can believe it because the addiction to power and money is greater than any love for America or her people
This admin is an embarrassment of epic proportions.
As long as the
bribescampaign contributions continue, very little will change!That’s the way I, THE GREAT CORNYNHOLIO like it !!!
ARE YOU THREATENING TO PRIMARY ME?
who makes the money from these ‘windmills’ that can’t provide enough?
a little digging would likely reveal the same people behind the Obama era solar ripoffs…solyndra brings one to mind. hundred of millions given away to leftards who couldn’t run a business, except into the ground…
Isn’t this the administration forcing us to get the jab when it was a 99% recovery rate without it? It turns out to be a yearly flu epidemic and nothing more. All those deaths were from the jab! Still don’t know anyone in our group that didn’t take the jab and zero deaths from myocarditis. How about we cut way way back on mail in voting? We have the most corrupt administration in our history. The Democrat Party became the victim of a take-over from the radical Left ideas. Get rid of Dominion and other voting machines! The Left today is addicted to TDS!
Remind me again, who is on the list to make money from windmills?
Hochstein is so full of it: One million barrels from the reserve did not stay here, it went to Europe and China. Lesgo Brandon really thinks selling our reserve oil to other countries is going to lower prices. What a Maroon.
Just a thought about the windmill, have you ever seen a windmill run without oil in some fashion? It is call a smoking disaster. Yes, the gears need lubrication. It takes a lot of oil to fill one of those beasts up and must be changed at an interval.
What is even scarier than this is the fact that energy CEOs are scrambling to convert their companies into Green New Deal clownshows. The link below is NextEra Energy – FPL, the largest utility in the world. Their current #1 goal is to “decarbonize” the planet. God help us.

Is PRESIDENTIAL COORDINATOR ON ENERGY SECURITY a new position? As in has any other president had one?
I also am disappointed that MBS talked like there is a climate crisis
More wind mills and fewer birds and bees. That’s the ticket!
My dear farmer mom used to say, “the wind blew and the s**t flew” when she heard a big tall tale.
Can we just block all goods and services from DC and politicians? Why can’t we starve them into submission before they starve us to death? No need for violence.
