So, let me get this right. It is okay to buy petroleum from Russia while they build jets capable of attacking NATO.
It is okay to purchase petroleum from Russia while Iran is in the crosshairs.
What is wrong with this picture?
Trump makes deal with Putin for diesel (click here)
...“I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social....Trump is putting everything at risk in order to try to bribe the American people. Now, it is diesel. Before it is $90 to seniors. All that is supposed to buy their votes? I don't think so. The entire mess the USA is in when it comes to petroleum products has many failures by the government, but, the absolute biggest failure is Trump entering into a war with Iran. How shortsighted is this guy anyway?
Trump rather hate Canada and carry on as if his dreamscape of owning the Western Hemisphere and support Russia than do the right thing.
The primary opportunities in Canada lie in renewable and drop-in fuels. Scalable, sustainable production is made possible by Canada's immense and diverse renewable biomass resources, ranging from agriculture and forest products to dedicated energy crops and waste-based feedstocks.
These natural advantages are significantly bolstered by an established energy industry, substantial government support and innovation within the sector.
Coupled with a clear national strategy to boost production, firms operating in Canada are positioned for growth across the entire renewable fuels value chain....
The Republicans really are the enemy. Better to support Russia and buy it's petroleum than support an EV business with significant investments.
Honestly, Russian oil and Data Centers before allies and Americans.
Talk about attacking car companies, the Republicans have the record hands down.

Last year was a tough one for electric vehicles in the United States. (click here) The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress tossed out a $7,500 tax credit for E.V. purchases, giving buyers just a few months’ notice. They also challenged California’s plan to phase out sales of new gas-powered cars by 2035.
Amid it all, Ford took a $19.5 billion hit to its profits to cover a major strategic shift as it reconsidered its E.V. strategy. Tesla lost its place as the top seller of E.V.s worldwide, and its domestic and European car sales slumped.
The E.V. pullback has left a nascent U.S. battery industry with a shrinking market to sell its products. Now, some companies are eyeing a new line of business that could play a critical role in helping renewable energy power the grid — if they can beat Chinese manufacturers on cost.
Ford is now attempting to pivot, repurposing car battery production lines to make bigger batteries for data centers and utilities. Tesla is expanding efforts in the same space. Neither company responded to an interview request.
Today, we look at car companies’ big battery dreams, and why a complicated snarl of tariffs, trade wars and tax credits that have slowed their E.V. plans just might end up boosting grid-scale battery production....
