minus-squareKulunkelBoom@lemmus.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up45Ā·16 days agoNope. It just means now trump has oil to sell, and the higher the price (sayā¦ matching European pricing) the more money he steals. Trump is a one trick pony - greed. Nothing he does is outside of that parameter.

minus-squarekieron115@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3Ā·15 days agoYeah, itās pretty dense compared to shale oil. But itās also what many refineries in the US were built to extract, given that hydrofracking is a relatively new process.
minus-squarea_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4Ā·15 days agoOh, gotcha. Not my area, exactly.
