The United States Was Energy Independent in 2019 f
Post# of 123671
U.S. energy production in 2019 was higher than U.S. energy consumption for the first time in 62 years. Thus, the U.S. attained the long-held goal of “energy independence”—which is not to say that we did not import or export energy, but that we produced more energy than we used. One can thank the oil and gas industry

In the first eight months of 2019, US crude oil exports to France, Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom were 637,000 barrels per day, an increase of 144% from 2018. US exports reached just shy of 1 million barrels per day in January 2019.Dec 10, 2019

Biden suspends oil and gas leasing in slew of executive actions on climate change
President Joe Biden on Wednesday signed a series of executive orders that prioritize climate change across all levels of government and put the U.S. on track to curb planet-warming carbon emissions.
Biden’s orders direct the secretary of the Interior Department to halt new oil and natural gas leases on public lands and waters, and begin a thorough review of existing permits for fossil fuel development.
The series of actions kick off the president’s agenda to reduce the country’s emissions and establish stricter targets under the Paris climate accord.

If you paid attention to how the government worked you would know why the gasoline prices went up
