How do you support your argument that the current administration is being effective in killing off oil? We are still a net exporter of oil [0] and crude oil production is about where it was at in late 2018. It took a dive during COVID-19 and has been recovering since.

You're joking right? He has been killing off pipelines, suspending leases, increasing regulations.

My question still stands. We're near ATH of oil production and are a net exporter. Sure, the Boogeyman wants to kill oil, but has he been able to do that with great success in 1.5 years as president?
