Please cite for me what specific restrictions to our oil supply have been made under this President. I'm aware of restrictions on future development of pipelines. Pipelines that were carrying exactly 0 oil then, and wouldn't be built yet right now. So none of that has any effect at all on current supply. So - what restrictions are there in EO's that have actually cut supply now?? In fact, US oil production has been steadily returning back to pre-pandemic levels, under this President. What DJT left us was a million dead Americans, and huge bill on CC via tax cuts for the very wealthy, which this President is now addressing. Under DJT, the national debt increased more in 4 years than for all other Presidents combined. Fully 50% of recent inflation has been corporate profit taking, because they "suffered" through the low demand of the pandemic - which again, DJT caused by pretending there was no pandemic for at least several months.

Sgt (Join to see) Ann please refer him to the department of energy report on record low crude oil production. You are correct since 2020 oil production has fall so hard that oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico have been closed down because it’s not profitable under the Biden administrations own policies to continue drilling. Let me know if you need and help on this but your correct just to this link

From December 20 through December 30, Today in Energy will feature some of our favorite articles from 2021. Today’s article was originally published on March 9.
U.S. crude oil production averaged 11.3 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2020, down 935,000 b/d (8%) from the record annual average high of 12.2 million b/d in 2019. The 2020 decrease in production was the largest annual decline in the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s records. The production decline resulted from reduced drilling activity related to low oil prices in 2020.
In January 2020, U.S. crude oil production reached a peak of 12.8 million b/d. In March 2020, crude oil prices decreased because of the sudden drop in petroleum demand that resulted from the global response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The declining prices led crude oil operators to shut in wells and limit the number of wells brought online, lowering the output for the major oil-producing regions. In May, U.S. crude oil production reached its lowest average monthly volume for the year at 10.0 million b/d.

In 2020, more crude oil was produced in Texas than in any other state or region of the United States, accounting for 43% of the national total. Crude oil production in Texas averaged 4.87 million b/d in 2020, a decrease of 205,000 b/d (4%) from the record high of 5.07 million b/d set in 2019.
The Federal Offshore Gulf of Mexico saw the largest decrease in crude oil production, falling by 245,000 b/d (13%) to an annual average of 1.65 million b/d in 2020. Several hurricanes and tropical storms struck the Gulf of Mexico last year, causing operators to evacuate platforms and shut in production. North Dakota had the second-largest decrease at 242,000 b/d (17%) to an annual average of 1.18 million b/d. Oklahoma had the largest percentage decrease at 19%, falling to an annual average of 469,000 b/d.
The largest statewide increase in crude oil production in 2020 was in New Mexico, where it increased by 133,000 b/d (15%) to a record annual average high of 1.04 million b/d. The growth in New Mexico came from the Permian Basin, which spans parts of western Texas and eastern New Mexico.

While Senator Joe manchin gets upset because his pipeline that he thought he was going to get with the compromise he did with the Democrats they Blue Falcon him and they won't approve the last 28 miles of the 300 Mi pipeline through West Virginia. The environmental zombie left will not allow it but even in Liberal canada, they are allowing the liquid natural gas terminal to be complete and it will actually have a lot of employment of Canadian Indians.

The Biden Administration purposely stalls on projects and look how it's buying oil from Venezuela! Venezuela has the same quality oil as Canada except that Venezuela has hundreds of oil spills and no accountability but President Biden doesn't care because it's not in his backyard. It's stupid that President Biden met with prime minister Trudeau after screwing him over his first day in office by canceling the Keystone XL pipeline. Trudeau probably bit the bullet because he knows that 38 of the 50 US states are Canada's biggest trading partner so he just took it up the 5th point of contact and didn't show any resentment when he met with President Biden last week. President Biden doesn't have time to go to the border nor does he have time to go to East Palestine and only did Pete buttigieg go once Trump went but then he dressed up totally nerdy and not appropriate for the occasion.

Canada is in the top five countries with the largest proven oil reserves but the only democratic country. Venezuela, Iran, Saudi Arabia.
