Current production on federal lands is in no way being cut or curtailed. There were no new leases on federal lands granted during the 8 years of the Obama Administration. Even as the Obama Administration increased production and put the country on the path for achieving energy independence:

The right wing outrage machine continues to make the false claims that Biden is leading the country away from the energy independence created by Donald Trump. Trump didn't created American energy independence, the Obama Administration did that. Trump just took credit for it. Joe Biden was one of the architects of energy independence. Why would he destroy his own legacy?
The right wing outrage machine keeps pumping out lies about the goals and priorities of the Biden Administration, and like good little sheep, you come here and bleat out your fear and paranoia, and never question their lies.
There was no drilling during lockdown - anywhere. That's why production is down. Now that drilling has resumed, production will continue to rise. Biden is stopping production on federals, he is stopping
new leases from being given out. Existing leases are being honoured.
