@jackofalltrades@mas.to @Npars01@mstdn.social @randahl@mastodon.social that is true. I always have a hard time explaining that they haven’t gone renewable, they’ve just always sorta been like that. As I understand their oil goes all over, but we buy a lot of it. But…we Americans are crack heads. I call gasoline “freedom crack”. And if you deny us even the slightest bit of oil…withdrawls will ensue and then we fucking start tearing apart the world looking for drugs. So, any denial is going to hurt.

@praetor@mstdn.social @Npars01@mstdn.social @randahl@mastodon.social The amount of oil the US imports from Norway is really miniscule, and easily replaceable: https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/PET_MOVE_IMPCUS_D_NUS_NNO_MBBL_A.htm Not all oil is equal though. If anyone has any leverage on the US it's Canada. They have the heavier, sour crude that the US refineries want: https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621
