Trump and Republicans constantly falsely declare that beneath President Biden, the US will not be power impartial, or that Biden has reduce oil manufacturing. The chart above exhibits that oil manufacturing has grown beneath Biden, whereas on the identical time, the President has made historic investments in clean energy production.
Republicans have constantly framed the power dialog in the US as an both/or. Both the US may produce extra clean energy or fossil fuels.
The right reply has at all times been that the US can do each. The truth is that the nation will not be able to abandon fossil fuels, however clear power manufacturing is the long run.
If The US Is Vitality Impartial, Why Are Fuel Costs So Excessive?
The rationale why gas prices are so high is that the oil drilled in the US doesn’t belong to the US. The oil truly belongs to the oil corporations who place the oil on the open market to be offered around the globe. The USA doesn’t have its personal oil firm or government-run refineries. On federal lands, drilling is leased to the oil corporations who pay a leasing price after which get to maintain what they discover.
American oil doesn’t belong to the US, so when Republicans recommend that we drill for extra oil, what they’re actually advocating for is extra revenue for the oil corporations.
Beneath Joe Biden the US is power impartial, setting records for oil manufacturing, and transferring towards a clear power future.
