President Biden is continuing with his program of “anywhere but the United States” when it comes to oil investment and future production. The United States is allowing Chevron to resume pumping oil from its Venezuelan oil fields that U.S. sanctions had halted almost three years ago. The license was granted to Chevron after President Nicolás Maduro’s government agreed to […]

The Energy Information Administration indicates that U.S. oil production is nearing pre-pandemic levels, but President Biden wants to ruin that by placing a “windfall profits” tax on oil company profits. “Their profits are a windfall of war,” Mr. Biden said, referring to the Russian invasion of Ukraine as the reason for high prices for oil […]
Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats have a plan for American energy: make it harder to produce and more expensive to purchase. Since Biden took office, his administration and Congressional Democrats have taken over 125 actions deliberately designed to make it harder to produce energy here in America. A list of those actions appears below. A […]
Average U.S. gasoline prices hit $3.89 a gallon on October 17, up about 20 cents from a month ago, 56 cents higher than last year at this time, and $1.35 a gallon higher than when Biden took office on January 20, 2021. In March, gasoline prices hit $4 a gallon and then moved up to a record $5 a […]

President Biden must be living a life of luxury and seclusion because he has no concept of how gasoline prices are set, what the demand is, and how much oil production and refinery capacity are needed to meet it. He is back to accusing oil companies of price gouging should gasoline prices go up. Biden said that […]
Despite Biden saying he is doing all he can to increase domestic oil production, his numerous actions beginning on his first day in office show the opposite. Clearly, his climate/tax bill (the so-called Inflation Reduction Act) hits the domestic oil industry in the back with massive fees and royalty increases. Even production on non-federal lands gets hit with […]
Mexico’s newest oil refinery is not yet operational since it is behind schedule and over budget, but President Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced the refinery as a centerpiece to his goal of securing Mexico’s energy independence, which President Trump had secured for Americans in 2019 and which President Biden is destroying through his energy and climate policies.

President Biden is depleting the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), which is currently at its lowest level in 37 years. On July 26, 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy announced an emergency sale from the reserve of up to 20 million barrels, which will go through the end of October, just prior to the mid-term election […]
