The US has never been energy independent.
Um, that means we produce more than we use….You just proved my point dummy…
"You mean when we were energy independent'?
Twisting yourself into a pretzel doesn’t help your propaganda…
Projection doesn't help yours.
Biden ordered the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to send in Last July 2022, in a sale of 39 million barrels from the SPR that was part of the 180 million-barrel release, 1 million barrels went to UNIPEC America, a Houston-based arm of China's Sinopec. Owned by CCP.

US Crude Oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve StocksHow Much Oil Does the United States Use Each Day? | Green Gables Restaurant
The United States is one of the world’s largest consumers of oil. Every day, millions of gallons of oil are used to power our cars, heat our homes, and provide energy for factories and power plants. But just how much oil does the United States use each day? In this article, we’ll look at thegreengablespa.com

US Crude Oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Stocks is at a current level of 351.28M, up from 350.98M last week and down from 422.58M one year ago.
So if the USA has to use 9 million barrels a day from the SPR that means just 39 days supply left.
What happens when US runs out of oil?
All public transport, including planes, trains and buses, would come to a grinding halt. Industry is would be hit very hard; millions would lose their jobs. Food production would also suffer on an incredible scale and hundreds of millions would starve to death as a result.
What Would Happen if Oil Runs Out?
It’s a fairly established and agreed-upon fact that our oil supplies are dwindling. Ever since man first drilled into the Earth and extracted the black gold, upon which all of our industrial adva...www.petro-online.com
Faulty math. Our oil defecit is averaging 2.7 mbd. Our surplus in other petroluem products such LNG and refined products is over 4 mbd. In fact, we have been a net exporter of energy (Energy Independent) for the past 18 months in a row.
Our deficit of crude oil in not 9 mbd. For example we imported 6.9 mbd (last week of Sept.). However we exported 4.3 mbd. Giving us a deficit of just 2.6 mbd. No need to tap the reserve for our daily needs.GEEZ!!!! If there is no more 9 million barrels of oil/day coming from foreign countries and
the president orders the depletion of 9 million barrels of oil/day because there is no oil coming from foreign providers.... DUH the current amount of SPR oil reserve is:
October 06, 2023 351.27M

GEEZ....
We haven't been oil independent since before the Kennedy administration. The formula is total energy produced, LNG, coal and other fossil fuels, - total energy imported.
What formula do you think they used under Benedict Donald to determine that we were energy independent?
Independence is no imports and we export energy products.
By that measure we will never be independent. Energy independence is a magical number on paper first devised as a way to praise the Dear Leader Trump. By that same measure under Biden, now we are more energy independent than ever. So the Neo-GOP must either lie about it, or equivocate and say it doesn't really matter because, Saul Biden fault, no matter what.
Correction. Total energy exported (not produced) - total energy imported.
Your numbers are wrong.
The statistic I use and linked too came from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The same agency you use and that proclaimed our energy independence under Trump as well as under Biden.Your numbers are wrong.
The United States consumes about 20 million barrels of oil per day, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. As of 2021, the U.S. produces about 11 million barrels per day.
Fact: Crude oil exports of about 3.60 million b/d
So in reality though, the fact is this: Even if the USA stops entirely exporting and
2) Of the 20 mbd, 11 mbd is produced by USA and 4.3 mbd would NOT exported.
3) Still leaves 9 mbd needed... 20 mbd subtract 11 mbd produced by USA equals 9 mbd still needed.
4) OR 9 mbd TAKEN FROM THE SPR!
5) SPR current balance is 351.28 million barrels.
6) Divided by 9 mbd needed per day equals 39 day supply.
You're conflating crude oil with petroleum. From your link:

YUP! And Biden's stupid ban on explorations on Federal Land would have been voided instead of his dumb ass comment...
