The US's dependence on oil is counterintuitive.

OP, and your Cult, wants them all gone.

Which cult? Why can't we support both. Are they going to kick me out?

Global oil production has reached record levels, with world output estimated at roughly 106 million barrels per day in 2025.

So much for the oil peak theory.

"2025 has been a challenging year for renewables. The new tax law, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, rolled back many clean energy tax credits and imposed new restrictions, pressuring early-stage wind and solar pipelines. Wind and solar investments in the first half of 2025 fell 18%, to nearly US$35 billion (prior to the enactment of this act), compared to the same period in 2024.<a href="2026 Renewable Energy Industry Outlook">1</a>

Still, renewables dominated US capacity growth, accounting for 93% of additions (30.2 gigawatts) through September 2025, with solar and storage making up 83%.

Which cult?

Yours.

Ya know, the one that wants to get rid of oil.

May as well laugh.

You mean like Good Old Joe did? His so called war on oil, that led to record oil production in the US?

You guys are a hoot.

Of course it all started with Obama, over as decade ago.

Oil Is Back!​

A Global Warming President Presides Over a Drill-Baby-Drill America​

By Michael Klare
Considering all the talk about global warming, peak oil, carbon divestment, and renewable energy, you’d think that oil consumption in the United States would be on a downward path. By now, we should certainly be witnessing real progress toward a post-petroleum economy. As it happens, the opposite is occurring. U.S. oil consumption is on an upward trajectory, climbing by 400,000 barrels per day in 2013 alone — and, if current trends persist, it should rise again both this year and next.

Tater lied. Shocker.

And there was ZERO barrels of oil produced on any lease approved by Tater. Oil production increased on private land, and existing government leases.

Ah, another believer!

"The claim that zero oil has been produced on leases approved by the Biden administration is largely inaccurate based on industry data. While the administration has slowed new leasing, it has approved thousands of permits and overseen rising oil production on federal lands, including major projects like the Willow project in Alaska."

The claim likely stems from the time lag between a new lease approval, seismic surveys, test well drilling, and finally actual production wells, which takes years."

Post the data.
