Talk:Essay: Apples and Oranges: The net importer USA is outproducing the net exporters Russia and Saudi Arabia in oil production. The best is yet to come

If anyone takes issue with this essay, please feel to write the counteressay Essay: The USA is NOT outproducing Russia and Saudi Arabia in oil production. The worst is yet to come. Godspeed. Conservative (talk) 10:24, December 13, 2023 (EST)

Your data is outdated, and method of presenting it is flawed. Again, deceptive and misleading conservative students. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 11:48, December 13, 2023 (EST)

This Essay is absolute deceptive idiocy. Russia and Saudi Arabia are net exporters of oil, the US barely produces 50% of its own domestic consumption. And it still relies heavily on oil export countries. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 09:09, February 5, 2024 (EST)

• Why Record Crude Output Can’t Solve America’s Diesel Crisis.

"U.S. crude production is headed for a record 13.8 million bpd in 2026, yet the EIA expects distillate stocks to fall below 100 million barrels and stay under the five-year range through much of 2027.

Refiners can’t simply make more diesel. Distillate is about 30% of U.S. refinery yield, utilization averaged roughly 96% last quarter, and operable capacity fell about 250,000 bpd from a year earlier."

It clarifies the fact that you don't know the difference between oil production and diesel production. Conservative (talk)

It clarifies the fact you don't know that diesel comes from crude oil distillates.

Middle distillates compete with each other for production of diesel or jet fuel.

This even relates to the fact that you don't understand the guns or butter argument. Diesel and military jet fuel come from the same limited supply of crude oil middle distillates. Military jet fuel obviously has priority. Trump tried to have guns & butter when he started the Iran war - jet fuel and diesel. Only to later reveal himself as foreign agent of Russia, funneling $5 billion to the evil Russian war machine so it can continue its unjust war of aggression.

But I see a familiar pattern: When proven wrong, you double and triple down on stupidity. Foghorn Leghorn^{Do normal heterosexuals spend 20 yrs obsessing over gay bars, bathhouses and drag queens?} 13:49, October 10, 2026 (EDT)

By the way, Trump and Putin just made a deal: President Donald Trump announced a deal with Vladimir Putin where Russia will supply over 4 million tons of diesel to the global market. In tandem, the U.S. Treasury Department temporarily waived sanctions on Russian diesel through April 2027 to lower skyrocketing fuel prices.

In addition, Iran's economy is a mess and getting worse due to naval blockade and stricter sanctions. Will the Iranians become more pliable in negotiations or see their regime collapse? Time will tell. Conservative (talk) 14:01, October 10, 2026 (EDT)

Duh, that's what I just said. You, Hillary Clinton and James Comey were right; Trump is a Russian asset funding the evil Russian war machine. Foghorn Leghorn^{Do normal heterosexuals spend 20 yrs obsessing over gay bars, bathhouses and drag queens?} 14:08, October 10, 2026 (EDT)

"The Domestic Energy Revolution: The massive expansion of the American oil and gas industry has made the U.S. entirely energy-independent and a net exporter. Conversely, China remains heavily exposed to Middle East maritime chokepoints, making it far more vulnerable to global supply shocks."[1] Conservative (talk) 14:15, October 10, 2026 (EDT)

Duh, are you dense or something? America cannot produce anymore diesel than it is already producing, duh. Foghorn Leghorn^{Do normal heterosexuals spend 20 yrs obsessing over gay bars, bathhouses and drag queens?} 14:16, October 10, 2026 (EDT)

The Power of U.S. Oil Production

"A foundational pillar of America’s relative strength over the last five years is its unprecedented energy revolution. The U.S. has firmly cemented its position as the largest oil producer in global history.

• Record-Breaking Output: According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), U.S. crude oil production is on track to average a record 13.8 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2026, surpassing the previous historic record of 13.7 million b/d set in 2025.

• Geopolitical Insulation: This massive output—driven primarily by fracking and efficiency gains in the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico—means the U.S. produces roughly 18.4% of the world’s total oil supply.

• The Geopolitical Offset: While the U.S. is still tethered to global market prices because it is also the world's largest consumer, its massive supply acts as a vital geopolitical buffer. When conflicts in the Middle East threaten global energy hubs, or when the West cuts off Russian energy exports, surging U.S. oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports step in to stabilize allied economies (particularly in Europe), weakening the ability of OPEC, Russia, or Iran to use energy as an economic weapon."[2]
