Biden regime admits they have been lying about number of oil leases.

Probably pre pandemic. Everything was artificially depressed during that time. Not sure if oil production had rebounded by that point. It's no different than the 3 million or whatever it is job "created", or the record deficit "reduction".

I was showing what happened under the Biden admin. Why would I use data that started before the Biden admin?
 
Is anyone shocked they have been lying?


Flashback: Biden, White House cited inaccurate '9,000 unused permits' figure more than 20 times​


"For nearly a year, the White House has been trying to shift blame for hindering oil and natural gas development on federal lands," Kathleen Sgamma, the president of the Western Energy Alliance, told Fox News Digital. "They use the claim about 9,000 permits to beat up the industry and deflect for their failure to efficiently process permits. Now it turns out the numbers were off by thousands."
"The reality is this administration has done everything possible to make it more difficult to produce oil and natural gas on federal lands," she continued. "Studies show the United States would be producing 2-3 million more barrels per day, thereby lowering process for consumers, if it weren’t for these bad policies."

In addition to Biden, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, former press secretary Jen Psaki, spokesperson John Kirby and anonymous administration officials all cited the figure.
"One thing I want to say about the oil companies: They talk about how we have — they have 9,000 permits to drill," Biden remarked in June. "They’re not drilling. Why aren’t they drilling?"

:206: Its not 9000 it’s only 6700

We need MORE unused drilling permits

As far as production, 2022 was about 3.5% less than 2019, but more than 2018 and 2017.

At the current rate we will surpass 2019 sometime this year, if the oil companies do not cut back due to demand dropping
 
But they do have to pay attention when a new resident comes out & says he will shut down fossil fuels & the govt makes plans to go to a "net-zero" economy of green energy pipe dreams.

They may not stop drilling but it is a factor when making a decision on new investments.
They spend lots of money to open new fields/wells in expectation of future profits but those become very uncertain if Big Brother is your declared enemy

Yep, one more thing Biden has failed at.

That would mean economic contraction, something that is not desirable.

/----/ Now, where are all of the libtard moonbats who bought the Biden lies hook line, and sinker? As always, they will slither away and refuse to admit they were wrong.
 
First point, did you nit read the link? The Biden regime is holding up,permits, Simp.

Second point, ever heard of Covid and Dimwinger shutdowns?

The rest happened despite the Biden regime, not because of it.

Are they "holding up" drilling permits, or simply doing their due diligence before issuing them? We know that the Trump administration did no due diligence because they didn't care about people or the environment. Making money is all that matters.

Must be a slow news day because this isn't really a problem at all.
 
So, why are the 6,700 not being used by the oil companies?

Why is the US rig count is up 109% since Jan 2021.

Why are US oil exports in 2022 were the highest in history.

Why US oil production was higher in 2022 than 3 of the 4 years under Trump.

I would say that despite Biden's best efforts, the oil industry is is booming. They do not actually care what Biden says or does.
If any of the above actually happened you can bet your first born that Tater never had a hand in it making it come to pass.
 
<sob> Mean old Biden won’t give oil Companies more drilling permits……They ONLY have 6700 :206:
Most people are smart enough to know that you only drill where you have a reasonable expectation there is oil under the ground. Even exploratory holes are expensive.

You know nothing of the sort.
