The truth about oil production has been muddied by political talking points, bad science, and some members of the media that have an anti-oil agenda. Here is the truth about oil production and the facts you all need to know. I’ll even touch on a phrase being said a lot right now: "the president doesn't set the price of gas."

Pay close attention and maybe watch this video: https://youtu.be/wXoRirvy1J4. Share the facts with others.

There is enough recoverable crude oil within the continental U.S. to supply current and projected future demand for 400+ years, and that's just the oil we know about! It doesn't account for future discoveries.

Ask any production worker at an oil refinery on the Gulf of Mexico and they’ll say this:

"You've been lied to by the President and his allies, but I want to set the record straight. I'm going to tell you the truth, so pay attention" This is from a few workers who wished not to share their names — I don’t blame them.

Here are the facts:

There is enough recoverable crude oil within the continental U.S. to supply current and projected future demand for 400+ years, and that's just the oil we know about! It doesn't account for future discoveries.

We do not need to import a single drop of foreign crude oil. The domestic oil industry can easily meet, and even surpass domestic demand. We've done it before, and we can do it again.

The domestic oil industry currently cannot satisfy domestic demand due to oil drilling restrictions imposed by the federal government.

The price of EVERYTHING revolves around oil, and the law of supply vs demand dictates the price of oil. When oil is plentiful, commodities are cheap. When oil is scarce, commodities are more expensive. Right now, domestic oil is scarce, and the price of everything is high because of these restrictions imposed by the federal government.

We import foreign oil from countries that drill and produce it much more cheaply than we are able to because they do not implement all of the environmental safeguards that we do. In point of fact, their production methods are far more damaging to the environment than in North America.

Every year, the federal government leases tracts of land to oil companies so they can explore it for oil. If enough oil is found during exploration, the company can then apply for a drilling permit, which allows them to drill a well.

If no oil is found, or if the amount found is not enough to be profitable, the lease expires without ever being drilled on. There are some leases that are active but not being used. This does not mean that oil companies are being lazy, or are trying to keep the oil for themselves, or manipulating the market. It means they've either explored the lease for oil and found nothing, or found oil but it's not enough to justify drilling for based on the costs. They let the permit expire.

Blame Biden

It’s not Russia's fault, China's fault, Ukraine's, India's, Venezuela's, Iran's or OPEC's fault. Or any other countries' fault as to why everything is so expensive over the last year.

It's the Biden administration's fault, because it is suppressing the domestic oil industry for political gain. Trying to push all Americans to buy EVs they can’t afford.

There is so much more to discuss on this, put your comments below and let’s start the conversation.
