Biden wants to shift away from American Oil to Foreign Oil

look at the dates. Your stuff is mid august.
The article i gave you is at the end of august.
Youre out of date with obsolete information.

It makes no difference,,, Joey Xi has knee capped the oil industry in America and now is threatening to tap the Strategic Oil Reserve after his foreign policy failures in the Far East, Middle East and Europe. I refer you to the China v Taiwan unrest, Biden's Afghanistan debacle, and Putin's threats to invade the Ukraine.
Tell me that is out of date?

He's right.. You are completely out of date...by six months.
 
Wicker: Biden Undermines U.S. Energy Independence
Gas Prices Surge as Biden Targets U.S. Oil Production


As summer draws to a close, Mississippians are feeling more pain at the pump with gas prices continuing to soar. After starting the year near $2 per gallon, gas in Mississippi has now reached an average of $2.78. The same pattern is occurring across the country, with national gas prices surging by 40 percent this year alone. This additional cost is impacting hardworking American families who are recovering from the pandemic and depend on their cars and trucks to access work and daily necessities.

These rising gas prices are a direct result of President Biden’s energy agenda. Since taking office, Mr. Biden has systematically dismantled President Trump’s policies that helped the U.S. become energy independent. In his first week, President Biden killed the Keystone XL Pipeline project, which would have brought oil to American refineries and supported up to 11,000 jobs. Later, he cut off expansion of a tremendous source of American oil and natural gas by suspending new drilling leases on federal lands and waters. He also rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement, which will kill energy jobs while doing little to protect the environment.

Democrats in Congress have plans to escalate this assault on American energy. Their massive tax-and-spending proposal would include “Green New Deal” style tax hikes and other restrictions on traditional energy sources, which would likely result in higher energy costs for American households.

These decisions will have lasting consequences for our energy producers, the jobs the industry supports, and all American families that depend on traditional power sources.

Biden Wants Foreign Oil, Not American Oil

Even as President Biden cracks down on American production, he is actively encouraging our foreign competitors to boost their own oil output. Earlier this month, in response to rising gas prices, the President went hat in hand to OPEC+, a revamped cartel of oil-producing nations that now includes Russia and Venezuela. Mr. Biden is asking that they step up their own oil production to lower gas prices in the U.S.

It is absurd that American consumers should be at the mercy of a group like OPEC+. Before President Biden took office, the United States had become the world’s largest oil producer thanks to groundbreaking new drilling technologies, such as fracking. In 2019, for the first time since 1973, we exported more petroleum than we imported. This tremendous feat helped to insulate America from supply shortages abroad and protect against disruptive swings in oil prices. Now, President Biden has surrendered this advantage and made us more dependent on foreign countries for energy.

Republicans Fight to Protect U.S. Energy

Republicans are taking every step we can to protect America’s energy security. Recently, I joined 23 senators in urging the President to reverse his request to OPEC+ for more oil. The United States should not be begging foreign countries for energy when we have enough resources to meet the need. I also joined a letter asking the Biden Administration to lighten the burden of the Renewable Fuel Standard, a regulation that threatens the future of many refineries in America.

Republicans were also successful in passing a pro-energy amendment to the Democrats’ budget proposal. The amendment, sponsored by Senator Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, would prevent the Biden Administration from banning fracking, which has helped us achieve energy independence and lower gas prices. Republicans will continue to make every effort to mitigate the worst of President Biden’s anti-American energy agenda.

Wow. This is seriously ignorant.
 
The

US has never been energy independent. That's an absurd Trump lie.
BUT, we could have come close.
BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

December 16 2015
Today, Republicans, backed by ExxonMobil and the Koch brothers, forced a deal that will lift the crude oil export ban as part of the Omnibus Appropriations Package.

With the understanding that Republicans would not have the votes in a straight up or down vote, the measure was attached to the must-pass omnibus package.

“It’s outrageous that Republicans would hold hostage longstanding, bipartisan legislation like the Land and Water Conservation fund, as well as job creating clean energy tax credits, just to get a win on profits for their friends and donors the Koch brothers, ExxonMobil, and Big Oil.

“By lifting the crude oil export ban, Congressional Republicans are opting to export American jobs, escalate fossil fuel development, rip up iconic American landscapes to extract more oil, and increase climate disrupting carbon emissions.

West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, another centrist Democrat, supports exports and is a co-sponsor on the bill.

“By exporting crude oil, we will not only lower the market price today at the pump … but we will be able to improve our country’s national security,” he said at a July meeting of the Energy Committee.

/----/ "That's an absurd Trump lie."
I'm sure you have a mountain of evidence to prove that. Because I believe IER more than a Trump-hating Troll: The United States Was Energy Independent in 2019 for the First Time Since 1957
U.S. energy production in 2019 was higher than U.S. energy consumption for the first time in 62 years. Thus, the U.S. attained the long-held goal of “energy independence”—which is not to say that we did not import or export energy, but that we produced more energy than we used. One can thank the oil and gas industry and its use of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling for that milestone as production in those industries increased a combined 11 percent in 2019. Total U.S. energy production increased by 5.7 percent in 2019 while U.S. energy demand decreased by 0.9 percent. The United States produced 101.0 quadrillion British thermal units (quads) of energy and consumed 100.2 quads last year. Fossil fuels accounted for 80 percent of both energy consumption and production in 2019.

You should probably note the OPEC price basket. US oil is usually a dollar cheaper. Machine doesn't know anything about the oil business. They want to export crude when the ppb is high. That's how they make money.
 
it absolutely has and set some records exporting more than at anytime in history, we can tell you are cattle, move along to the next feeder
The US uses about 19 million bpd and consistently produces less than 10 million bpd. The oil business isn't about producing more oil cheaper.... It's about profits.

This author is real stupid.
 
no he is on target, The Biden administration is financing the Putin War Machine by refusing to cut off Russian oil while suppressing domestic production.
We bought no Russian oil in January and just small amounts since then. Nobody is buying oil from Russia because it's too unstable.
