minus-squareSackett@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkarrow-up37·4 days agoCool, so my gas prices are lower right?
minus-squareKulunkelBoom@lemmus.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up45·4 days agoNope. It just means now trump has oil to sell, and the higher the price (say… matching European pricing) the more money he steals. Trump is a one trick pony - greed. Nothing he does is outside of that parameter.

minus-squareKulunkelBoom@lemmus.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoI don’t think that’s a trick as much a degenerate trait.

minus-squarekieron115@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·4 days agoFor about three minutes until it runs out. The US consumes something like 20 million barrels per day. This is a drop of piss in the ocean.
minus-squarea_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 days agoI’m probably misremembering, but isn’t Venezuelan oil really heavy shit, too? If that’s the case, it’s not like we can just put in our cars.
minus-squarekieron115@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 days agoYeah, it’s pretty dense compared to shale oil. But it’s also what many refineries in the US were built to extract, given that hydrofracking is a relatively new process.
minus-squarea_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 days agoOh, gotcha. Not my area, exactly.
