minus-squareKulunkelBoom@lemmus.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up45·2 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-squarea_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·19 hours 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-up3·17 hours 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.
