It is my belief, I could be wrong, that #Ukraine can cripple #Russia's oil #industry
I also believe, I could be wrong, that Ukraine is focusing on this now
"The stated goal of many of these policies is to bring down energy costs for American consumers. Yet bringing down costs will be difficult."
Under a so-called “national energy emergency”:
"Trump told the EPA to study whether carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are dangerous air pollutants.
Trump lifted federal environmental and #permitting rules; [this] could force blue states — the Northeast and West Coast — to accept new oil and gas #pipelines and #refineries."

"Don't strike #russian oil #refineries," they said to Ukraine...

Who would have thought!
Take here a glimpse of the intervined interests that were (and still are!) put above morale and Ukrainian lives:

Insight: Three Exxon refineries top the list of U.S. polluters
By Tim Mclaughlin
June 1, 2021
BATON ROUGE, Louisiana (Reuters) - "#ExxonMobil's U.S. #OilRefineries refineries pump out far more #lung-damaging soot than similarly-sized facilities operated by rivals, according to regulatory documents and a Reuters analysis of pollution test results.
"The Texas-based firm's three largest #refineries - two in #Texas and one in #Louisiana - are the nation's top three emitters of small #particulatematter according to the analysis of the latest tests submitted to regulators by the nation's 10 largest refineries.
"The three Exxon refineries together averaged emissions of 80 pounds per hour, eight times the average rate of the seven other refineries on the top-ten list, some of which are larger than Exxon's plants, the analysis shows. The top polluter, Exxon's #BatonRouge refinery, averaged 138 pounds per hour.
"The performance reflects the firm's inadequate spending to cut emissions, said Wilma Subra, a Louisiana-based scientist who formerly served on the Environmental Protection Agency's National Environmental Justice Advisory Council.
"'Exxon has all the resources in the world to lower its pollution rates dramatically,' she said.
"The company has taken heat for years for its environmental performance. This week, Exxon lost at least two seats on its board of directors to an activist hedge fund seeking to force the firm to reckon with #ClimateChange.
"Exxon (XOM.N) said in a statement that it tries [not very hard, apparently] to comply with environmental laws and has invested billions of dollars to reduce emissions over the last two decades." [And buy congress members]

#Heatwave hits refineries
Less gas, and more expensive
#GasPrice goes up
"#Refineries aren’t designed to operate in temperatures above 95 degrees, so companies scale back production during #heatwaves as a safety and efficiency measure. Much of the country’s refinery capacity is in areas of #Texas and #Louisiana where the average daily maximum temperature in July has been at least 95 degrees."
