Let's all thank China for cutting their oil imports by nearly half, and saving us from $150 a barrel oil prices.Thank you China.
>>536461978Why China have so much more foresight than any western leader?
you're welcome
>>536461979They didn't. They cut oil imports because they are too poor to buy it at the higher prices.
>>536461978Way easier to do when charging battery cars is a viable option because of picrelWestern leaders fucked every single one of us over so hard
>>536462192If only I voted for the pajeeta and the green new deal bros. She was so brat.
>>536461981>buying low and selling high makes you poorThis person votes.
>>536461978I’m waiting for them to drop the hammer before the midterms. They’re not our allies y’know?
>>536462677No, gas prices would have been 5 to 10 cents higher (before the Strait of Hormuz blockade) because she would have refilled the SPR faster, unlike Trump who slowed down its refilling to keep fuel prices low.
>>536462677>If only I voted for the pajeeta and the green new deal bros. She was so bratRemember that time Germany spent decades building out solar in one of the worst locations for solar on the planet
>>536461979China is a real country that wants to do well, and not just a province of ZOG to be squeezed dry
>>536464554>surface irradiation levels are the only factor on building solar
>>536461978Trump knows if chinks got too hungry its over for him so that's why he has been so soft on them for now
>>536461978Trump pause arms sale to Taiwan, China cut oil import and draw down their SPR to keep price from rising catastrophically for a few months.
>>536464741>surface irradiation levels are the only factor on building solarStrawman argument to say I am saying thatBut they are the main factor
>>536465220Not really. People build solar panels in Norway and Africa all the same.
>>536463500lmao. you're funny
>>536465375>Not really. People build solar panels in Norway and Africa all the sameDoesn't make it make sense(Outside of something off-grid ofc)I don't really know what your point is with all this anon - Are you saying "don't build solar in the sunniest places"?You lost me
>>536464964>and draw down their SPRThat would be stupid of Xi.The reserve is there to BTFO the Mutts, Koreans and Japs when they invade China. not for helping the 3rd world countries like Usa.
People talk about 1 billion barrel reserves, why should China buy high when they can hold out for months on cheaply-purchased reserves knowing that the US and Japan are running their reserves rapidly to nothing, about a month form now if this keeps up would be an ideal time for China fo start shit since they'll have plenty of oil on tap while one or two sabotage ops and the US is basically lights out because it's been operation paper over Trump's collosal strategic fuckup the past few.
>>536465833Building solar in the sunny areas doesn't make sense either, for a different reason.
>>536465881This is the perfect time. They turning their oil reserve into political soft power, near the peak of the oil crisis. They will outlast other countries SPR, which makes China's voluntary restraint even more important.
>>536465881In the USA, the SPR is used for both. The bottom 140 million bbl are reserved only for military usage, while the rest of it can be used for both. China might also be the same.
>>536466597There's a point at which pressure and sludge becomes an issue afaik. You can't draw it to zero or even much below half without real technical problems.
>>536466873>installs an oil filter Problem?
