trastrick Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Barely a month into his term, Joe started paying back his progressive handlers. His war on Trump's policies of Energy Independence. Using some nebulous "social costs" of U.S. Energy Production reasoning. He was shot down by the courts but his policies have now turned into REAL costs to America, and the World. CNN Biden administration freezes new oil and gas drilling leases after court rules against key climate tool "The idea is to quantify the economic harm caused by the climate crisis like sea level rise, more destructive hurricanes, extreme wildfire seasons and flooding". https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/21/us/biden-climate-social-cost-of-carbon-court/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for your convoluted cherry picking attempts. Here's the real numbers, https://www.statista.com/statistics/265181/us-oil-production-in-barrels-per-day-since-1998/ " In 2020, oil production in the United States reached 16.5 million barrels per day, a slight decrease from the previous year. In 2019, oil production reached the highest point in history". And that doesn't include natural gas! In 2021 Oil pruduction fell. Biden shuts down the Keystone XL pipeline " On the first day of Biden's presidency, he issued an executive order canceling the Keystone XL pipeline — making good on his promise to the to the climate activists who helped get him elected" https://www.vox.com/22306919/biden-keystone-xl-trudeau-oil-pipeline-climate-change Edited March 12, 2022 by trastrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2019, oil production reached the highest point in history". And that doesn't include natural gas! For one day....and then production dropped off a cliff... 2020 saw the largest annual decrease of U.S. oil production on record, under Trump Quote In 2021 Oil pruduction fell. Nope, the biggest short term drop in US oil production in history was during Trumps presidency: Biden has equalled 2020 oil production: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/mar/09/facebook-posts/oil-production-bidens-first-year-par-trump/ "Oil production in the U.S. in President Joe Biden’s first year was on par with 2020 and higher than in three of the four years Trump was president." "Biden has surpassed Trump in issuing drilling permits on public land" Biden is already predicted to eclipse Trumps high of 2019 in 2023 Quote Biden shuts down the Keystone XL pipeline " On the first day of Biden's presidency, he issued an executive order canceling the Keystone XL pipeline — making good on his promise to the to the climate activists who helped get him elected" https://www.vox.com/22306919/biden-keystone-xl-trudeau-oil-pipeline-climate-change How do you "shut down" a pipeline that's incomplete, and nowhere near operational?

trastrick Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 "Biden did issue an executive order his first month in office that paused new oil and gas lease sales on government land pending a review, but that order was struck down by a federal judge in June." Thank you Judge! But I'm glad to hear that Joe has evolved from his earlier statements: "Joe Biden declared climate change the “number one issue facing humanity” and vowed a national transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy that he says will create millions of new jobs". His "climate activists who helped get him elected" will not be pleased. As for your "How do you "shut down" a pipeline that's incomplete, and nowhere near operational?" Easy, just revoke the key Government Permit! "TC Energy had begun construction on the pipeline last year and said about 300 miles of the $8 billion project had been built. It would have carried oil from landlocked Alberta to the U.S. Gulf Coast." - NPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Judge! Federal land accounts for a tiny fraction of drilling, Biden has already issued significantly more permits than Trump did... ...currently there are over 9000 permits that have yet to even begin being used. It would be years before any of this will make any difference... to anything. Quote As for your "How do you "shut down" a pipeline that's incomplete, and nowhere near operational?"

Again... years before any of this will make any difference... to anything. Edited March 13, 2022 by Magilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
