Since there have been so many people on the Democrat side tossing their hats in, a simple Trump\/Pence on the GOPer ballot side will make it simpler.\u00a0 He would rather see us fracking our own oil reserves and (maybe, maybe not) running out than not. The only real source of outside income that Russia has lies in its oil and gas reserves. At the time when Putin began to nationalize the drilling industry and make it a government-owned entity, crude oil was pricing at or near $100\/bbl. This was partly due to the turmoil in Libya, which severely impacted oil production there. At one time, the price per barrel reached $140++ in 2008.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/energysource\/2012\/10\/29\/vladimir-putin-is-the-new-global-shah-of-oil\/#169a12286eb2\">https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/energysource\/2012\/10\/29\/vladimir-putin-is-the-new-global-shah-of-oil\/#169a12286eb2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>From the 2012 Forbes article: Rosneft is buying TNK-<a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/companies\/bp\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/companies\/bp\/\">BP<\/a>, which is a vertically integrated oil company co-owned by British oil firm BP and a group of Russian billionaires known as AAR. One of the top-ten privately owned oil producers in the world, in 2010 TNK-BP churned out 1.74 million barrels of oil equivalent per day from its assets in Russia and Ukraine and processed almost half that amount through its refineries.<\/p>\n<p>With TNK-BP in its hands, Rosneft will be in charge of more than 4 million barrels of oil production a day. And who is in charge of Rosneft? None other than\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/profile\/vladimir-putin\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/profile\/vladimir-putin\/\">Vladimir Putin<\/a>, Russia&#8217;s resource-full president. &#8211; article<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s probably safe to say that, while the price per barrel of crude oil has dropped and the USA is currently the top producer of oil, thanks to fracking, Putin is patiently waiting for someone like Liz Warren to outlaw one of the very things that make the US economy stable and prosperous. Almost all of our tech junk production comes out of China now. It&#8217;s cheaper to send the lauded iPhone&#8217;s manufacture to China than it is to do it here. Check the labels on your clothing: where is that made? Some of it is coming from obscure places like Vietnam and Bangla Desh.<\/p>\n<p>Meantime, a twitterpated message from Lizzie Warren follows:<\/p>\n<p>From Liawatha, the fake American Indian\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ewarren\">Elizabeth Warren<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><u><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ewarren\">?@ewarren<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n<p>On my first day as president, I will sign an executive order that puts a total moratorium on all new fossil fuel leases for drilling offshore and on public lands. And I will ban fracking\u2014everywhere. &#8211; Twitter from Liz Warren<\/p>\n<p>So, is Vlad endorsing Lizzie? Will this qualify as Russian interference in the next election? I think he\u2019s kind of wishing those halcyon days of oil at $100\/bbl were still in effect, because that\u2019s why he instituted state control of oil and gas production in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Does this means that Vlad is endorsing Liawatha? Hmmm\u2026. now, there\u2019s a thought.\u00a0 After all, her poll numbers did tank in November, which was conveniently left out of MSM lame news.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t ask the Greenbeanies or Warmunistas about it; they take heat in the winter for granted. They need to learn what it&#8217;s like to be truly cold.<\/p>\n<p>But take this into consideration before you make up your mind about anything: fracking in the Permian Basin and many other areas\u00a0and offshore drilling are two of the most reliable sources of crude oil and natural gas that we have right now. Some of the production is now on public lands, as well, because that is a large part of the sourcing of crude oil and gas.<\/p>\n<p>Warren wants to ban all of this with no exceptions, <em>when<\/em> she is elected.<\/p>\n<p>This link is to the EIA&#8217;s maps and information about proven reserves of gas and oil in the lower USA.
