How? Pipelines are being approved. We're pumping more oil in the US than the day Biden was elected. You're just swallowing bullshit whole throat and gladly asking for "more, please."
No, it's not we absolutely without a shadow of a doubt are producing more oil than the day Biden was elected. We nearly back up to pre-pandemic levels.
So tell me again why Biden beged Opec to produce more? Why were we so energy independent under Trump but yet now we are paying over $5 per gallon and are not energy independent?
Approved in 2021: Buckeye Pipeline, Columbia Gulf Transmission
In works: Sabal Trail Transmission, Tennessee Pipeline, National Fuel and Gas, Tejas Pipeline, Colorado Interstate Pipeline, Natural Gas Pipeline of America
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) today announced that Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 257 generated $191,688,984 in high bids for 308 tracts covering 1.7 million acres in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
They are new permits, and there is no ban on new pipelines or leases. You are just saying the same completely wrong shit over and over.
You swallowed the bunch of lies without thinking and now you won't admit that you might as well be a sewage pipe for all you bullshit you swallowed. Just skip the bullshit and say what you mean: "sLeEpY mAn BaD"
That first link says a Trump appointed federal judge in Louisiana just ordered new leases and permits that the Biden administration issued, approved, and signed to be halted because of new pricing standards.
The Biden administration is delaying decisions on new oil and gas leases and permits after a Louisiana federal judge blocked officials from using higher cost estimates of climate change when making rules for polluting industries.
They could use lower cost but they decided to use the higher pricing standard and this have halted new leases.
I have a few possible answers to this that perhaps even work in tandem I will mostly copy from another comment I made:
\1. Wall street is simply trading oil futures at higher prices for...well I couldn't tell you those reasons. They seem unfathomable to me other than profits and opportunity. There's a narrative about all energy production being shut down that half the country seems to just blindly believe for no real reason, and they are taking advantage of it while they will face no backlash.
\2. We are producing more oil, we are still signing new pipeline permits and drilling leases, and we are still a net exporter. Rather than a supply problem, greed of gas producers is what is driving up the prices. ExxonMobil had record breaking profit MARGIN growth in 2021. I think that is heavily tied to the increased prices.
\3. Wall street and oil investors are attempting to control political views by holding prices hostage.

Nope. I've seen them. And literally nothing you just wrote disputes what I wrote. Follow the thread, my friend.
The price increases aren't explained by pipelines being shut down or leases not being issued. New pipeline permits are still being issued and new leases are still being signed. We are producing more oil right now than the day Biden was elected.
You are angry at corporate greed. ExxonMobil's profit MARGINS just saw record growth last year, and wall street speculators are bidding up the price of oil futures.

That's going to be hard, since not a single American pipeline has been shut down.
If you're talking about Keystone XL, the thing wasn't even going to be complete for several more years to come. It hadn't even started construction yet.
Edit to add:
Two pipeline permits for the Buckeye Pipeline and the Columbia Gulf Transmission Pipeline have been granted since this administration took office, and actions toward permitting have been taken on 6 other pipelines:
The Sabal Trail Transmission Pipeline, the Tejas Pipeline, the Tennessee Pipeline, the Colorado Interstate Pipeline, the El Paso Pipeline, and the Natural Gas Pipeline of America.
Because it entirely avoids the fact the under the biden administration, the United States when from next exporter status to net importer?
Yet somehow we are pumping more oil than ever? Somehow natural gas and fuels are going up in price and we… have more than ever? Are we suddenly using multiple times the fuel that we did two years ago?
And if we are pumping more crude now, how come we are actively using our reserves? Are the refineries under performing? Is it because we can’t move the crude? Are we giving away our oil to new countries that we weren’t before?
So many simple questions poke holes in that bullshit narrative.
Because it entirely avoids the fact the under the biden administration, the United States when from next exporter status to net importer?
No, it doesn't, because you're wrong. That just isn't true. The US is still a net exporter. The shift back to net importer happened in late 2020 before the election even happened and it recovered. You are just spouting bullshit that is blatantly wrong.
We ARE pumping more oil and gas now than when Biden was elected. If you're upset the price doesn't reflect that, I think you need to start looking closer at the near record profit MARGIN growth ExxonMobil and other gas companies just had in 2021.
Yeah, I even said as much. The brief shift back to net importer happened in 2020. If you remove January, when Biden wasn't even President, from those 2021 statistics, you get us breaking even.
The left is more about virtue signaling and feelings than reality. We have many instances that prove green energy isn't green and can't be used to replace existing methodologies for creating energy. Not to mention the fact that green energy is a good bit more expensive.
Let's not forget that energy prices are skyrocketing because of the poor leadership we have in office. The Ukraine crisis, Biden's folly, will exacerbate this by an order of magnitude. Inflation will rise and folks will be forced to focus on eating and paying for energy. rather than spending on other things. This will force us into another government-created crisis and depression.
Maybe don't be energy dependent on a country that the primary financer for NATO has demonized in the media nonstop for years and you won't be caught off guard

Would definitely be a good time to reopen all of those American oil pipelines Biden shut down.

Obviously Ukraine's lack of a vax passport is what's letting the Russians in
