I love the framing of his questions. He failed to state the US is now the world's leader in natural gas and oil production. To say we need to ramp up production while at the same time not stating we have already done that is uncommonly silly.

@ahamed4152 New federal data shows the Biden administration approved 3,557 permits for oil and gas drilling on public lands in its first year, far outpacing the Trump administration’s first-year total of 2,658. Also 2020 oil production was 11.3 million, 2021 was 11.85, 2022 is 11.91 and 2023 is protected to be at 12.77. It would appear Biden is crushing production, but no one wants to state the facts.

@ahamed4152 and 2017 and 2018 right?

@ahamed4152 source for the production numbers? And why not 2017 and 2018?

@ahamed4152 listen, you have been spoon feed enough, you wanted the source of the permits and you got it. Oil production is easy to find. Main point is, the narrative that Biden isn't trying to ramp up production is a complete lie. In fact, he is doing it faster than Trump. Not trying to say Biden is better, just that facts show people are being told a lie and they gobble it up.

@ahamed4152 that's the issue, you say no permits on federal land but don't address or acknowledge the thounds and thousands or permits approved that are not being used. That is misleading, I'm assuming 2019 must have been a good year but for some reason you do not care about 2017, 2018, 2020, 2021,2022, 2023.
