Say what?! ‘U.S. oil & natural gas production & exports’ continue to expand into record territory even during Biden admin – Geologist explains
Geologist Gregory Wrightstone comments on oil and gas production continuing during Biden admin:
“Federal lands increase can be explained by the length of time needed to bring these properties into drilling and production from when the lease is issued to when the bit starts turning to the right. Most are offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, and many are in deep water. Most of the remainder are in Alaska. Both with long pre-drill times compared to wells on private lands.”
“The overwhelming majority of land-based drilling in America is for shale oil and gas reservoirs, and virtually all of that is on privately owned lands, so the Biden/Harris War on Oil is not able to slow them down. States issue the permits, and they have a strong incentive to be efficient in doing so.”
“Oil and Gas Production 3 – The Biden/Harris War on Oil Effect may not be seen for several years due to long lead times between acquisition and actual production.
The bottom line is that we are the dominant oil and gas producer, not BECAUSE of Biden/Harris, but IN SPITE of them. Just think what we could be doing with a pro-development president.”
To sum up, the increase in Federal production may be reflective of increasing leasing under Trump, which is just showing up now.”

Kamala Harris is more radical on her energy policies than Joe Biden

Salon Mag: Kamala Harris will continue Biden’s climate policies, say experts. But is that good enough?
Dr. Peter Kalmus, a climate scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and an associate project scientist at UCLA’s Joint Institute for Regional Earth System Science & Engineering, expressed dramatically different views of Biden’s climate policies, saying he felt personally betrayed by the president. On the campaign trail in 2020, Kalmus said, “Biden often said that he’d ‘listen to the scientists’ on climate,” Kalmus said. “What a lie. As a climate scientist, it feels personal.”
Kalmus acknowledged that the Inflation Reduction Act has “some good stuff,” but argued that it was no better than “a tap on the brakes” and does not go nearly far enough to limit or reduce the use of fossil fuels. “Biden took every opportunity to expand fossil fuels, just as Trump did,” Kalmus said, citing the administration’s approval of several drilling and pipeline projects. “He approved almost 50% more oil and gas drilling permits on federal lands in his first three years than Trump. … Biden’s overarching legacy will likely end up being this: He accelerated global heating by expanding fossil fuels.” …
For Kalmus, only drastic measures by a future Harris administration can pull humanity from the brink. “Stop expanding fossil fuels, ban fossil fuel advertising and champion an international fossil fuel reduction treaty,” he said. Make it illegal for the fossil fuel industry to spread disinformation. Use the bully pulpit. Create a federal program to educate the public on the basics of climate science and solutions. Give the world a positive vision for a cooler future without fossil fuels.”
Biden’s Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen Calls For $78 Trillion To Tackle ‘Climate Change’
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said during a speech in Belem, Brazil, on Saturday that the price tag for a global transition to a low-carbon economy amounts to $78 trillion in financing through 2050.
“The transition will require no less than $3 trillion in new capital from many sources each year between now and 2050,” Yellen said during the speech. “This can be leveraged to support pathways to sustainable and inclusive growth, including for countries that have historically received less investment.”
