Oil long-term looks strong.

"“In a really fully reopened world, the oil price could go to a $150 dollars because the supply constraints are dramatic,” Wood said.

In recent years, the demonization of oil and gas, or as Wood described it—the “political attack”—on fossil fuels, has reduced investment in the fossil fuel industry, which still supplied 84 percent of global energy demand in 2020.

“The issue for me is not the oil price, the issue is the pandemic. The oil price is gonna go higher in a fully reopened world because nobody’s investing in oil but the world still consumes fossil fuels,” Wood told CNBC.

Much higher oil prices would escalate the inflation fears, he added.

Although the oil market currently frets about the potential impact of the new Covid variant on global oil demand, consumption will sooner or later rebound again, even if it dips in the coming months. At that point, be it in 2022 or 2023, supply could be struggling to meet demand, also because of the shrinking capacity within the OPEC+ group to boost production."

You said Biden policy would cause a US oil shortage. Now there seems to be plenty of oil without using government lands. 
President Biden's calls on OPEC to increase production earlier this year were received poorly by the U.S. shale patch, which believes it can take care of the supply problem.

 

US producers just don’t believe the hype or the BS. Now let’s remind US producers of the flaring you can see from space.

S.Korea scrambles fighter jets as China, Russia aircraft enter air defense zone

Israel has the nukes to take the world out, maybe N Korea. It only takes minutes to vaporize the worlds largest cities. Being afraid of Russia is so 1960’s. 
If any country decided to destroy data infrastructure they could bring world transactions to a halt. World disruption hangs by a thread in many areas. But that’s no reasoning to give a thug like Putin anything. He is an enemy who can’t be bought. However you can end Russian trade easily enough. They are but a financial fly in the global ointment.

Israel has no ICBMs to reach world's largest cities. Kim can reach any place in US at least, courtesy of Ukraine's Yuzhmash. Watch where you bankroll a color revolution / coup next time.

Russia has very cordial relationship with South Korea, actually. Them and Israel never joined any Western sanctions on Russia.

Biden & Co. face an uphill battle in court for this compensation case. Precedents are against the ill-considered cancellation, which has placed oil transport into trucks instead of  pipelines. Pipelines are safer.

"Such investor-state dispute settlement claims by corporations against the U.S. are relatively rare, and the U.S. has a good track record in winning them. However, companies have emerged victorious in similar international disputes. Most notably, in March, Germany agreed to pay $2.9 billion to Sweden’s Vattenfall AB and other utilities, as part of a compensation package resolving a decade-long battle over the country’s decision to phase out nuclear power. 

Biden’s decision to rescind a presidential permit his first day in office -- without another round of government analysis on the long-studied project -- gives TC Energy an “extremely strong case” under Nafta language barring arbitrary discrimination, said Gary Hufbauer, a Washington-based senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. 

“TC has a great legal case going in,” Hufbauer said. “This was well out of the norm of customary government behavior.”"

Buden put the Canadians out their misery. Their tar sands are by far the tightest oil being extracted anywhere. Trump just wanted to milk them for their state subsidies.

Canadian tar sands didn’t die at $35 per barrel. What are todays prices? What Canada doesn’t use gets shipped to the world through the Gulf. Close to 4 mbpd. This is how they fund troops and equipment on your doorstep.

Canada is a rich country, they can wait. Ultimately, price in USD matters not. Only the

Actually, Wiki says that shale is worse, which is only obfuscated by free process heat from associated gas

Both are pretty crap, though.

Actually different cars use different battery set ups. If you want world class speed the cost doesn’t mean much. You need a little Chinese carvan for big city use and a small range is good. That battery is much different.

Not if it is shale

Relative abundance of financing in US has been obfuscating that, but the sector is deeply in debt. Note how #1 Exxon does not frack and #2 Chevron very little. Much easier to do it the old fashioned way, by ripping off a banana republic like Guyana or Russia.

Technological advantage for US is not obvious. Russia is on the EOR cutting edge

Not to speak of the activities in the Arctic, where nobody is even close.

All world governments have printed so much money it’s like an ocean of cash out there. You just leverage a small amount into billions. It’s all good, you know, no accountability.

In laptop-style cells, this is what is needed to make "high discharge" cells which have no current limiter. I suppose in car terms, this translates to having  good acceleration / torque.

It depends. Russia's got cash and will finance anyway, though US financing works best. We are the 2nd world, not 3rd

Exxon also has considerable expertise in deep water exploration, which they might share.

Lithium is the ticket to being more dense/longer lasting, more power in a smaller lighter pkg. However more lithium swells and requires other ingredients like cobalt, nickel etc so the swelling doesn’t degrade the battery as much. So there is your trade off.

I don't believe in economic theories. They invariably fail to predict the next "black swan"

A theory that was rigged post factum to fit a new observable ain't worth much from a hard science standpoint

I read at one time our big oil worked with Russia, China, Iran among others. Politics have made cooperation more difficult to impossible. Big oil is more international if they had a choice. Global hot spot conflict ends many relationships.

There is unlikely any non-nuclear battery tech which compares favorably to liquid fuels in power density (with density being volume / mass) Just look at the state of the art of electrical aircraft.

I don’t look much at electric airplanes or spherical solar for example. Build a big factory or two and start taking market share and boom, you got my interest.

I am not selling anything to you. Aircraft have to lift their entire weight off the ground and electric ones obviously suck so far. So much for superior power density.

Thanks for the link. Doesn’t surprise me though. Trump certainly had a different view of Russia. Dmitry Medvedev was a different politician. Cooperation began. Then Putin, then Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and the Ukrain.
