Dims have been trying to deny that Biden is squeezing oil drilling leases on government land. Here's the undeniable evidence that he is:

A new report from the Department of the Interior shows the Biden Administration has leased fewer acres of land for oil and gas drilling on federal lands and waters since former President Harry Truman in the 1940s.
The Department of the Interior has given out leases for 126,228 acres through August 20, 2022, according to analysis from the Wall Street Journal. The last president to lease out less than 4.4 million acres at this point in the first term of his presidency was Richard Nixon in 1969-1970.
“Joe Biden has been, I won’t say a closet radical, but simply a radical throughout his entire career in public service,” Larry Behrans, communications director for Power the Future, told One America News. “And so the fact that he had the reins of the federal government and is punishing American energy independence like he has is something that really should surprise no one.”

Late last year, just days after pledging to cut fossil fuels at international climate talks in Glasgow, Scotland, the Biden administration held the largest oil and gas lease sale in U.S. history.

On Thursday, a federal judge invalidated that sale in the Gulf of Mexico, saying the administration didn't adequately consider the costs to the world's climate.

The administration used an analysis conducted under former President Donald Trump that environmental groups alleged was critically flawed.



But....

Saul Biden man.

When did considering the costs to the world's climate become a condition for issuing oil leases? Is that in the regulation?

More than Trump and less than Obama. The US has never been energy independent. Trump is a baldfaced liar.
 
If you subtract that ANWR was removed from development by Biden I'm sure he's the worst energy president in history with "negative" leases.
ANWR's reserves are limited. We've known that for 25 years.

That's an obvious lie. Perhaps not since the 60s. However, we were energy independent in the last two years of the Trump administration.
