Yeah, Joe Biden's propaganda machine is working full force, while everyone who has a combustion engine, KNOWS, better.

Biden blocks drilling in ANWR, among his first acts as president

The decision came one day after the Trump administration issued oil and gas leases on the coastal plain of Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

If there is any drilling, it isnt because of the asshole biden.

Forbes is part of the Biden propaganda machine?

Your examples do not refute the assertion of the article.

But the OP's definition is not what most Americans think energy independence means.

"This definition of energy independence — producing more than we consume — will be the definition I use here."

Most, imo, think energy independence means that if there were an oil embargo tomorrow, we could demand that oil from US fields only go to the US consumer. THAT imo is impossible because US corporations drill overseas as well. As dumbass kyzr even notices, (see Mohammed bin Salman interview with Bret Baier. Is MBS evil?, a visionary?, duplicitous? or a dependable ally (Poll) post 16)

That imo is a pipedream (-: since US corporations exist to make profit. But if we actually reduce the amt of oil we use ..... then it would be a possibly different picture. But I imagine the progressives would not even be happy if we used NG until we can move to hydrogen or, perhaps more likely, can use solar and wind to reduce the amt of NG

for Maga everything is a Biden spin unless its' sucking Trump's ass

I call bullshit on Forbes' article. West TX crude is light/sweet. The US is dealing with Biden's "war on energy", including shutting down pipelines, refineries, permits, and drilling. Just look at the price of gas today compared to 2020. The number of drilling rigs is dropping, so oil production will drop. Look at the price of a BBL of oil today, $90/bbl, soon to be over $100 when winter demand hits.
Democrats can keep saying there is no oil shortage, but the price says otherwise.

Crude oil is an energy source for much of the world, but it's also a commodity that can be traded. Learn about crude oil before trading and investing.

Nice. Now could the price of fuel be lowered.

 

[BlindBoo]

Ladies, it's not Rocket Science. We export more energy than we import.....because it includes all sources of energy we produce. Most significant is liquified Natural Gas exports. It's the same formula since it happened in 2019. We do not export more crude oil than we import. Haven't for over 60 years.

If it was true. It is lying bullshit though. Biden strangled our energy independence then went begging for oil...

 

[BlindBoo]

It was not a factor in 2019 or 2020. Gas prices rose after it first happened. The only thing lowering prices was the pandemic's shutdown of the world's economies.

Oh but they do. Here is tangible proof:
Go to a gas station and pump gas for $1.67 a gal. because that's what we paid while being energy independent. If you cannot find gas for that amount then you know that we are no longer energy independent and are back to paying OPEC prices...

Not when our own fuel prices are the highest they've ever been. How is that good for us?

None of this refutes the fact that we produce more energy than we consume.

That would be a question for the oil companies.

Not all of the energy we produce is oil.

Not according to the numbers.

No. Gas station prices do not reflect the fact that produce more energy than we consume.

 

[The Irish Ram]

They sure do. In fact, Biden has been using our reserves to minimize the damage done to our economy by his war on oil. It is the basic economics of supply and demand...
