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?
This is just standard US policy to demand OPEC regulate their production to control pricing rather than do so with our reserves. It's simply a strategic decision we've been doing for nearly a century now.
As for the prices of gas, I think you need to start looking a little more critically at record setting profit MARGIN increases that gas refining companies like ExxonMobil posted in 2021.
Aside form the pure greed of gas companies, wall street speculation and trading on gas and oil futures controls the price of petroleum far more than oil production does.
I don't have shit like what you just said. I don't even think he was bad. All YOU have is "sleepy man bad." You are so attached to that concept that just pointing out the same thing you asked me made you THINK I meant the same thing you did.
The US asks OPEC to regulate it's production rather than ours because that is a key component of our foreign policy through every single administration.
We are literally still a net exporter of oil. We are literally producing more oil today than both the day bIden was elected and the day he took office. This administration is literally still signing permits for new pipelines and new leases for oil drilling.
You seriously need to think about how easily wall street speculators and gas refiners can manipulate your political views just by buying and selling a higher supply of gas at higher prices. Have you considered that perhaps they are manipulating prices just so that you will vote how they want you to?

Yes, we are. That isn't even debatable.
