[GMDino]

The narrative about Biden cutting production is a bit off.

Quote:'A spectacular failure of climate leadership': Climate activists hit out at the Biden administration for issuing MORE drilling permits on public land in first year than under Trump

• Biden in his first week in office had issued an executive order halting new leases for oil and gas drilling 
• That order was struck down by U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty in Louisiana
• Biden issued 3,557 permits for oil and gas drilling in his first year in office, 900 more than Trump in his first year
• Biden's runaway drilling approvals are a spectacular failure of climate leadership,' said the Center for Biological Diversity's Taylor McKinnon
• Legal challenges have 'made it impossible for us to stop many of these leases,' White House press secretary Jen Psaki claimed Thursday

Despite lofty promises on environmental goals, President Biden has outpaced even [url=https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/donald_trump/index.html]President Trump in issuing new drilling permits on public land. 

Biden in his first week in office had issued an executive order halting new leases for oil and gas drilling. But that order was struck down by U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty in Louisiana, and the administration has said its hands were tied and it had to continue issuing the leases. 

Biden issued 3,557 permits for oil and gas drilling in his first year in office, 900 more than Trump in his first year, according to federal data compiled by the Center for Biological Diversity.

Since 2018, the U.S. has been the top crude oil producer in the world. But with prices rising at the pump, Biden has not only increased production at home but called on OPEC+ nations to produce more fuel. And as Russia threatens to invade Ukraine and cuts back on its gas exports to Europe, the U.S. has become the number one exporter of natural gas in the world.

There is much more to it that just "Biden's policies".  As there always is.
