Good one, thank you.

Let us not forget the Biden administration purchase of sour crude from the Marxist Dictator Maduro in cahoots with Chevron!

Thanks, Tuco's Child. Yes the administration added insult to injury by lifting the sanctions on Venezuela and buying their crude oil, which provided financial support to the brutal Maduro regime. Shameful!

Don't forget that a huge source of heavy oil, Canada, is preparing to send more oil overseas. The TMX pipeline will almost triple the volume they can export directly from the west coast. Keystone XL was a huge missed opportunity for the US. An unforced error.

Thanks, Jim. Good point. Yes, killing Keystone XL was a huge missed opportunity. It should go down in history as one of the most egregious, purely politically motivated policy mistakes in the history of the United States. As you point out, Canada responded by taking advantage of another opportunity, closing the door on the US ever being able to import heavy crude oil from Canada.
