President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he has not implemented policies to halt domestic oil production; however, the Biden administration has enacted policies that are hampering the nation’s energy output and has created a hostile environment for investment in oil and gas, which has hurt production.
Joe Biden claims that he has not stopped or stalled oil production, despite the fact that his administration has implemented policies that are derailing domestic fossil fuel output.
- Biden asserted that he wanted to “debunk some myths” about his energy policies, but has done the opposite
- The Biden administration has instituted a regulatory crackdown on producers and discouraged investment in the industry while blaming oil and gas companies
- Gas prices are being driven higher due to refining constraints, not because of the oil industry’s alleged price gouging
Biden's Interior Department in June announced a five-year oil and gas leasing plan that gave the agency the option to not hold any new lease sales until the end of 2028
- But only two months later, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) found that cutting back on offshore drilling would hike energy prices and increase the U.S. dependence on foreign oil
- The White House begged Saudi Arabia in early October to delay cutting oil production to avoid gas price hikes before the midterms
