India and China Quietly Eschew Sanctions, Buy Russia’s Oil

March 24, 2022 By Young Research

Despite international approbation of commerce with Russia, India and China have quietly been buying Russian oil.

Unlike India’s state-run oil refiners, which have issued a number of tenders seeking to buy Russia’s flagship Urals crude among other grades, traders say China’s state processors are negotiating privately under the radar with sellers.

THE JONES ACT: The Reason America Buys Russian Oil

March 10, 2022 By Young Research

Americans don't use Russian oil because it makes economic sense, they use it because bad policies have made American oil for American consumers make less sense. Chief among these bad policies is the Jones Act, which strangles the ability of American oil producers to get their product to consumers in the same country. At Cato Institute, Colin Grabow explains: With imports of Russian oil (as well as coal and natural gas) now banned, the country’s refineries must decide on alternative sources. The good news is that there are U.S. grades of crude oil well‐​suited for refineries on the East and … [Read more...]
