President Joe Biden said his administration hasn’t prevented domestic energy production, even after more than a year of pushing policies designed to phase out fossil fuels.
“It is simply not true that my administration or policies are holding back domestic energy production,” Biden remarked at the White House on Tuesday. “That is simply not true.”
The president announced earlier in his speech that the U.S. would ban all oil imports from Russia in response to the nation’s invasion of Ukraine. The U.S. imported more than 670,000 barrels of oil per day from Russia in 2021, government data showed.

Biden said that energy companies have increased energy production during his tenure. However, the Energy Information Administration, which tracks global energy markets, forecasted
on Feb. 18 that the U.S. would again become a net importer of oil in 2022
More, fossil fuel industry groups have urged the Biden administration to reverse its energy policies and prioritize domestic production of oil and natural gas in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Both Republicans and Democrats have urged the president to open up avenues of domestic energy production amid the Ukraine crisis,
which has roiled global oil markets.

“The United States has shown its global energy dominance over the past decade. Unfortunately, this has been threatened by the current Administration’s policies against domestic natural gas and oil production,” Independent Petroleum Association of America COO Jeff Eshelman told the Daily Caller News Foundation in early March.

Since taking office, President Joe Biden has waged a war on fossil fuels, nixing
the Keystone XL oil pipeline, ditching an oil drilling project in Alaska, introducing sweeping fossil fuel regulations and making it harder for utilities to gain approval for natural gas projects. His administration has also defied
multiple court-ordered deadlines to restart the federal oil and gas leasing program after Biden attempted to halt the program altogether.
Biden has also aggressively pushed
renewable forms of energy despite doubts
from experts.

“We share the goal of reducing reliance on foreign energy sources and urge policymakers to advance American energy leadership and expand domestic production to counter Russia’s influence in global energy markets,” Mike Sommers, the president and chief executive of industry group the American Petroleum Institute, said in a statement.
Joe Biden has said the country needs to urgently move away from oil to cleaner fuels if the world has a chance of averting the worst effects of climate change. The rise in fuel production began when Biden and administration declared war on fossil fuel. If you review any of Biden's actions over his life in politics, it is never what is good for the country, only for him or the party, in that order.
He is also a pathological liar. As he lied in the first link 'remarked'. He and his administration are the only reason we are now paying such high prices.
He could and he knows that if he would reinstate the work and production on the Keystone pipeline and other sources of US oil, we would not have any problems now. We were energy independent under President Trump and what do we have now? Gasoline costs of $4 and more per gallon. Thousands of people lost good paying jobs building and working the Keystone pipeline but due to Biden's whim and obsession with climate change, global warming, and environmental causes they are gone.
He has been told to get rid of all Trump directives and policies. On his own, he would not know what to do, I believe its Obama pulling his strings. We were selling not buying and it was good for us. It took a long time to achieve energy independence and on day one it was gone. This administration is a far cry from the one who put the people first, now it is only their Party. An energy independent United States is a formidable presence on the planet, yet another reason why the left does not like that we should think America first.
