America Last-After doing everything possible to hamstring domestic oil, Biden imports Iran oil

[Anti Federalist]

Well, to be fair I doubt he even knows where Iran is on the map these days.

But his energy department approved the import, while thousands of men are out of work, including myself, as direct result of his actions to kill domestic energy production and increase dependence.

Eh, but I'll be told this is a good thing...like turning all of our economy to the ChiComs, in order for them to build a nation powerful to attack us with bio-weapon, kill a couple hundred thousand US citizens, and we stand by, stupidly looking like deer in the headlights.

SINGAPORE — The United States imported a rare cargo of 1.033 million barrels of Iranian crude in March despite sanctions on Iran’s energy sector, data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration showed.

The cargo is only the second oil import by the United States from Iran since late 1991, data on EIA’s website showed.

The EIA could not be immediately reached for comment. (Reporting by Florence Tan Editing by Shri Navaratnam)

Why, was the 'America-First' Saudi oil not available?

Or price was too low to pass... or this is another move to undo MAGA legacy?

Some reset, this is stunning news if true. Iran, though was a quasi US ally during Iraq Freedom War/GWOT and had written a thank you letter to W Bush after Iraq invasion, is also a well-known enemy of our closest semitic allies Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Gas Prices Surge Past $3 a Gallon as Summer Travel Season Begins, Oil Production Playing Catch Up

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/...eason-begins-oil-production-playing-catch-up/

Penny Starr 1 Jun 2021

As the coronavirus pandemic ends and the summer travel season begins, consumers face gas prices surging past $3 a gallon for regular unleaded. Experts say high demand from people eager to get on the road again and oil production increases cause the highest gas prices since 2014.

According to AAA, the current average price is $3.045 a gallon for regular unleaded nationwide. That national average is up 14.3 cents per gallon from a week ago and $1.06 higher than a year ago.

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, released a statement on gas prices.

“With the summer driving season now officially begun, gas prices have clung to a $3 per gallon average on continued strong demand as Americans take to the roads amidst a continued economic recovery,” De Haan said. “Through Sunday, U.S. gasoline demand was very strong over the weekend, with Friday and Sunday both setting new Covid records for gasoline consumption for their respective day of week, according to GasBuddy data.”

“While gasoline demand continues to recover, oil production has only slowly started gaining momentum after a very challenging 2020 forced oil companies to take several steps backward as prices and demand plummeted last year,” De Haan said. “While oil production is now moving in the right direction, we’re in catch up mode to searing hot gasoline demand, and the imbalance has pushed prices up notably.”

“For now, there’s little chance of a backslide in gas prices, but a larger chance that this summer could boast near-record gasoline demand as Americans hit the road, but remain mostly stuck to the U.S. due to overseas travel challenges that persist,” De Haan said.

As Breitbart News reported, in California gas prices at several fuel outlets are much higher with one gas station selling fuel for $6 a gallon:

The Mobil station across from the Beverly Center shopping mall, near Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, was selling regular unleaded gasoline for $5.29 and 9/10 per gallon on Monday evening, and “Super Plus” for $5.99 and 9/10 — self serve, without assistance or a car wash.

Those prices were unusually high, even for Los Angeles, where many stations charged between $4 and $5 per gallon over the holiday weekend, and the average is currently about $4.22 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.com.

According to AAA, the highest recorded average price was $4.114 in July 2008.

So how are those US sanctions on Iran working out?

Personally,,I would like to check out Iranian Batteries. They would make a better friend than enemy.

The imports of American coal, while helping fill the gap created by the Australian ban, also go towards China’s commitment to buy an additional US$52.4 billion worth of energy products from the US over two years as agreed as part of the phase one trade deal
signed in January last year.
