Biden has taken over 200 actions against US oil
How else is he going to convince the US consumer to purchase a Chinese EV ?
[Just The News] President Joe Biden and his administration have taken over 200 actions against the U.S. oil and natural gas industry as energy prices have gone up, according to a new report.

"President Biden and Democrats have a plan for American energy: make it harder to produce and more expensive to purchase," the Institute for Energy Research states in a new report. "Since Mr. Biden took office, his administration and its allies have taken over 200 actions deliberately designed to make it harder to produce energy here in America."

The analysis highlights actions Biden took on his first day in office, listing them chronologically through March of this year. The first act was canceling the Keystone XL pipeline, issuing a moratorium on all oil and natural gas leasing activities in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and revoking Trump administration executive orders that decreased regulations in order to expand domestic production.

Within a week of being in office, Biden issued additional moratoriums on new oil and gas leases on public lands or in offshore waters and imposed new regulations related to permitting and leasing practices, which were tied up in the courts for years. It was not until last month that a federal court upheld the first oil and natural gas lease sale on federal lands. Last December, the Fifth Circuit also ruled that Gulf lease sales must go forward.

#2 Another reason they won't let Trump win. He'll vacate all the obstructions to domestic oil and flood the market with domestic oil. Within a year the economy would turn around and the world situation would alter once again.

#4 Trump would be able to do some stuff immediately. The permanent bureaucrats would likely have various stall strategies ready to muck things up. Staffing will be critical.

#5 /\ Staffing will be critical.

Yes, absolutely critical. A critical look needs to be taken at what went wrong with staff selections last time.
