1. This is a 2-month old thread that was reactivated for some reason.You are only just now hearing about this?
I guess you've only been listening to propagandists who blame Biden for high oil prices.
Biden has also approved more oil leases than Trump did.
2. Biden did cause high oil prices with his war on energy.
3. True Xiden approved more oil leases on public land than Trump. But he shuts down pipelines and ANWR?!
Joe Biden Is Making Donald Trump Look Like an Environmentalist
The Biden administration has approved more fossil fuel drilling permits than the average amount approved every year of Trump’s presidency except 2020.

The analysis comes from Public Citizen, which found Biden’s Bureau of Land Management approved an average of 336 new fossil fuel drilling permits per month in 2021. That’s more than the average amount approved every year of Trump’s presidency except 2020, and 40% higher than the average approved during Trump’s first year in office. Biden’s 2021 drilling approvals peaked in April when there were 652 approvals. This is happening despite the Biden administration implementing a leasing pause. (It’s been challenged in court, but the legal setbacks don’t mean the administration has to lease land—in theory.)
