U.S. oil production hit a record under Biden. He seldom mentions it.

We are exporting our energy at a furious rate. Unless you owned the mineral rights to that coal mine where that coal was mined, it is not your energy.

Lower gas prices will help hold Biden’s coalitions together through the election. The US will go cold and dark afterwards, should the Resident “win” again.

US taxpayer funded fossil fuel subsidies are running about $20 bil a year.

Whose oil is it...?

UP UP UP UP UP!

Texas is fast approaching 50% of total US oil production.

“Whose oil is it...?”

The oil belongs to the entity that owns the mineral rights as they have “rule of capture.”

In spite of his regulations. Trump would be drilling twice as much.

If there is any truth at all in this, it will immediately cease upon a Democrat taking the presidency in 2024. This report is designed to optimize the chance of that.

The march to end petrochemical fuels is on. Don’t be fooled.

Wow, I didn’t know that. The USSA will miss that when Texas secedes.

Really? Link?

[Round Earther]

If you owned an exploration and production company, would you drill twice as much, work twice as hard, and spend twice as much to double production so you can sell oil for $35.00 a barrel or maintain current production at current costs and sell oil at $71.00 a barrel?

[crusty old prospector]

Currently, 42%.

[Kazan]

For two an half years, Biden suppressed our oil supply, drive gas prices up and helped fuel inflation. But, now, that it is an election year, it's drill, baby, drill.

No one should, however, forget the economic plan he caused for two and half years or expect him to continue allowing drilling if he gets reelected.

[Iceclimber58]

You are correct. My nephew is an engineer for HP. He said they are drilling a lot of wells. The dems want the oil field workers employed and energy cheaper going into election this fall. After that they will slow production down. The media is just not reporting the reasons for the increase.

[crusty old prospector]

For those who are interested, this is how US oil production shakes out:

Texas 42%

Federal Offshore (Thank you, Big Oil) 15%

New Mexico 14%

North Dakota 10%

Colorado 4%

Alaska 3%

Oklahoma 3%

Kalifornia 2%

Utah 1%

That gets you to around 94%. Kalifornia and Alaska are no longer major oil producing states.

U.S. oil production hit a record under Biden over his best efforts to stifle it.

He doesn’t want to see all the streets covered with idiots glued to the pavement?
