So don't tell me the Dems give a damn about pollution and climate change as their policies make it worse (Keystone pipeline cancellation also being another prime example of causing more pollution).

Biden's admin approved almost a 1,000 more oil and natural gas permits in his first year than Trump's. It was a 34% increase in leases on public lands and yet the companies did nothing with the permits they chose not to drill and increase domestic production.

A governments job is to provide for their citizens so what should happen in this instance? You look for ways to increase oil flow.

Partnering with an authoritative despot in a shithole country isn’t the right call. Death squads, government and military ripping property away from citizens, ripping away individual rights, etc.

The energy companies have ask Biden to come to the WH to work thru the energy crisis he’s administration has put this country. There aren’t excuses for Biden at this point. Raising tax on energy companies, restricting land for leases, canceling pipelines, and countless bs regulatory actions.

Don’t sit and act like Biden energy policy even comes close to the previous administration.

I have zero problems with you assertion on Venezuela but your land lease and pipelines are way off. Current pipelines aren't even at 50% capacity why create more? It is a corporate money grab? We opened land leases and nobody wants them. If your Haliburton why pay $40 per a barrel for domestic production when you can go to Saudi Arabia and pay $2. It is a systemic failure of our current ideology that corporations are the good guys and the free market will fix all.

I went digging so I'll concede and throw in the towel on this. Oil production is in fact down from pre-covid levels (13mil Barrels then just under 12 now so your source politifact is a bit f'd up on their fact check), but most publications attributed that more to issues not related to Biden's shackling attempts (Covid being #1 killing demand in 2020 with a steady climb since then). Expectations is it will get back to 13 next year.

See if you can guess who I'm impersonating Punch.

"Politifact? You would quote from a bunch of liberal cuck-pussies."

Nice article - I r not smrt when it comes to understanding oil/gas beyond "pipelines leak too much and the global market sets gas prices"

Politifact is where liberals go to confirm their biases

STUDY: PolitiFact Is Nearly 6 Times More Likely to Defend Biden Than Check His Facts

Of course Biden energy policies have directly affected the price of energy. You are just simply retarded hack you argue against it.

This is such a well rounded theory I simply have no choice but to concede. Have you considered trying out for the debate team Chico?

My favorite part is the part where you argued "Politifact is for liberal hacks" and you ignored the part about "oil companies already have a backlog of more than 9,000 approved permits that they are not yet using." So what specifically is Biden doing right now that is causing gas prices to fall? Because I paid $2.85 in Petersburg yesterday.
