Oil drilling has doubled under Biden. He has done just enough to greenwash his administration, but doesn’t make a real impact in this regards.
Lots of other very important reasons to vote D, but not germane to this sub.

Biden is moderate. With enough left leaning democrats in office this wouldn't occur. It's a straw man argument.

Pretty sure democrats drive cars and eat food made possible by burning fossil fuels.
There are alternative lifestyles, but I don't see liberals rushing to go live on communes or with the Amish.

How many left leaning democrats criticized Biden’s tapping into the strategic oil reserve to lower gas prices instead of celebrating the decreased global oil supply?

How are those oil profits? Maybe we should turn the mic back around on those companies first.

Nationalizing the oil companies will be the final transformation of the GOP into a Venezuela style kleptocracy. If you think the current issues are bad, and they are bad, wait until they get a trillion dollar industry as their personal piggy bank.

Source? I'm not saying it's not true but it's good to see a source. Most likely it dropped dramatically because the pandemic really slowed or halted production then limited it for quite a while. No point in pumping if you don't need it.

384 going up to 784. Pandemic certainly was the cause of the drop during Trump. The key point is that Biden is enthusiastic about drilling, with equal fervor as any Republican President.
His poll numbers will melt if he came out and said he wanted to double gas prices to fight climate change.

Oil drilling is a beast without regard for who is in charge. Developing alternatives is the realm of democratsZ
