Thread-
The latest leftist lie is that oil production is higher under Biden than Trump.

Let me show you what they are doing so you can explain it.

Their chart on the left; the one from the US Energy Information Administration on the right
eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/…

Even if you aren’t great with charts, you can clearly see that the nearly 13 million barrels of oil per day we were producing in late 2019 and early 2020 is higher than the 11.655 million barrels at the "today" part of the chart (March 2022) and the numbers in their chart

What they are doing is averaging the moment Trump took office up through and including the covid global shutdown.

Anyone who does data analysis knows that you normalize for unusual scenarios; a global economic shutdown is beyond unusual. World use plummeted- we all know this.

Instead of projecting the clear upward trajectory of production (see chart, up + to the right from 2016-early 2020), they average w covid #s + compare it to Biden’s first 1.5 years when the economy has come back online (which still is far from the nearly 13 million barrel mark)

We all know that Biden canceled oil and gas leases + pipeline projects day one, and has massive "red tape" in place. We know that the left has been pushing ESG, which has taken investment capital away from the industry.

The gaslighting (pun not intended) is ridiculous.

Biden could help inflation and shore up our long-term economic and national security by changing his energy policy and making us leaders in both traditional energy sources and green energy.

But he and his cronies won’t do it.
It's their fault and we all pay the costs.
