Well I opened the file in Chrome and here is the summation of production on Federal Lands which you referenced
BUT you never( being "
apparently incompetent") calculated the increase/decrease by President. I DID!
And Trump's brief tenure negated by COVID, leads the presidents in amount of production. In his 3 short years
increased production an average of plus 5% per year highest of the three presidents.
And this was done in SPITE of Obama's fewer oil/gas leases in the previous years. In case you don't understand
an oil exploration doesn't start the day the lease is approved but takes time for momentum to increase production also!
Because of Trump's easing rules and regulations he had more oil exploration leases as the attached also shows!
And that attribution to Trump is because HE reduced the rules and regulations that strangle businesses.
Case in point!
FACTS folks plain simple facts that Trump is like the little kid said "wait... what is keeping the USA from energy independence"? In part rules and regulations. R&Rs alone are estimated to cost the American economy as much
as $1.9 trillion a year in direct costs, lost productivity, and higher prices.
The costs to smaller businesses with 50 employees or fewer are nearly 20% higher than the average for all firms.

Just a reminder folks all of the above have links to PROVE the statements!
And as the above examples illustrate Trump took the same approach with energy and did something that NO other president in the past 62 years and 11 presidents!
In 2019, when Donald Trump was president, the U.S. did achieve energy independence, something that had not happened since 1957.
NO, In January 2021 the U.S. consumed more energy than it produced.A post on social media implies that since the Biden administration began in late January 2021, energy independence ended and led to gasol
