Environmentalists are pissed that Biden is overseeing the biggest federal land lease in history for oil and gas companies

 

Interior’s own estimates show the Gulf sale will lead to the production of up to 1.12 billion barrels of oil and 4.42 trillion cubic feet of gas over the next 50 years.

I mean, I agree the meme is insane. It's occupy democrats.

But after the ish we endured from the orange narcissist for four years it's pretty mild partisan glorification.

Bad, but doesn't really move the needle especially given the source.

The answer is yes. Yes he did.

I mean, they're opening up land leases in the gulf for new oil and gas drilling. but OK.

also, 2021 is literally the 2nd-highest year for US oil production in history through August (latest numbers available). "cut fuel production" is simply a lie.

oil production is higher currently than it was during most of the Trump administration. obviously one of those years was a big drop-off because of COVID, but oil production is higher now than it was at the same point in 2017 and 2018. 2019 it was a bit higher - 88m barrels vs 96m barrels through August - but in every other year it was higher.

 

"something not bad posted about Biden? better dig up something we can blame him for!"

Perhaps you could share your source.  Here's US crude oil production by year

Here's the max period chart.  While your claim may, or may not, be technically correct, it's also a flat out disingenuous lie, because production is clearly down and, given Pop Pop and the Democrats policies, will continue to trend down.

https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=MCRFPUS2&f=M

look at production by year, January - August. I pulled it out of that link and into Excel to do so. 

oil production through August by year since 2015:

2015	75,813
2016	71,075
2017	73,038
2018	84,539
2019	96,216
2020	91,983
2021	88,308

I admit I was mistaken on 2020, I saw a number of months way down and just assumed the dropoff was bigger. But the rest holds: production through August is larger than 2017 and 2018. 

And it's February that's dragging down 2021 for the most part: https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=47896

Just saying, this notion that Biden came in and there was some big drop-off in oil production is just not consistent with the facts.

There is a big drop off, it's only going to get worse, and it's entirely due to the administrations policies.

the production drop-off in that chart is 2020, not 2021. it's been trending up as we recover from COVID.

the drop-off was 2020. because of COVID.

May, June, July, and August 2021 are higher than production levels than the same months in 2017, 2018, and 2020. Those are the most recent months we have for 2021 and select out some of the weather-related production issues we had earlier this year. 

If I had to bed numbers might be down in September as well because of Ida, but those numbers aren't available yet.

They are when they say crap like this:

First off, he’s even admitted his original statement was wrong, 2nd, I’ve show the above is a lie, so crawl back into your hole Gollum.

You haven't shown anything.

Oil production for 2021 will almost certainly be higher than 2020, and it's trending up now down. 

Take out the Texas freeze in February and Ida (which I'm assuming you're not going to argue are policy positions of Biden) and 2021 would show a marked return towards oil production numbers we saw in 2019, surpassing every other year. 

It's a lie to say that oil production is trending down. And it's a lie to say that Biden's policies are causing a downward trend.

The data is clear, oil production is way up from 4 years ago, and slightly down from 1 year ago. Wanna bet on whether we'll surpass those numbers a year from now?

2020 oil production tanked the 2nd half of the year. the first half was trending above 2019 until April or so, which is why comparing Jan-Aug does put 2020 production slightly ahead of 2021, but at current levels 2021 oil production will be well ahead of 2020 all said and done.

It's still not back to where it was, but refinery capacity is still down so producing more crude that has nowhere to go short of shipping it to refineries abroad doesn't make sense.

Even with lagging refinery capacity spinning back up, production is going up over the next 12 months, unlike what the dingleberries are claiming. From what I remember, not all crude is the same, which is why we still import quite a bit despite all our exports too. A lot of that trade is with Canada and Mexico. Regardless, zuke is flailing as usual. We're clearly ramping up production, not cutting it.
