Stop using your critical thinking skills and be partisan!!!Well likely the conflict with Russia will skyrocket prices more than this.

"The Energy Information Administration (EIA) tabulated U.S. energy consumption in 2019 and 2020, and determined that for both full years, counting all energy sources, we were energy independent."You literally said "the definition of energy independence is producing more than consumed" which has already been shown to you isn't true for the US.
So you're admitting that you changed your definition of energy independence to fit your narrative."The Energy Information Administration (EIA) tabulated U.S. energy consumption in 2019 and 2020, and determined that for both full years, counting all energy sources, we were energy independent."
Is The U.S. Energy Independent?
Did we lose our energy independence under President Biden? It's complicated.www.forbes.com
$5.00 Gas under a Republican President – “Incompetence, terrible, bad, hurting people, cant heat their homes, it's all the Presidents fault.”Maybe that's good. People will stop wasting so much fuel and the demand will drop followed by more green energy production and lower fuel prices.

So now you're running from your prior post I successfully debunked."The Energy Information Administration (EIA) tabulated U.S. energy consumption in 2019 and 2020, and determined that for both full years, counting all energy sources, we were energy independent."

You didn't debunk anything. You actually said the definition of energy independence is producing more than consuming. I already showed that's not true. You then changed your definition to exporting more than importing, which is what all your posts on this topic are about, because your prior definition was shown not to be true for the US (the US doesn't produce more than it consumes). You've changed your definition to fit your narrative.So now you're running from your prior post I successfully debunked.
By definition if you export more than you import you produce more than you consume.You didn't debunk anything.

YOU made this statement " On energy, President Donald Trump has Made America Great Again. In 2019, after 62 years, the United States achieved energy independence, meaning that as a nation we produced more energy than we consumed"I've debunked your numbers over and over in other threads but you refuse to acknowledge reality.
Have a nice day, I won't waste any more time on you.
And the price of oil back when Trump was in was low because the Russians and Saudi's were having a oil price war$5.00 Gas under a Republican President – “Incompetence, terrible, bad, hurting people, cant heat their homes, it's all the Presidents fault.”
$5.00 Gas under a Democratic President – “Maybe that's good. People will stop wasting so much fuel and the demand will drop followed by more green energy production and lower fuel prices.”
LOL!!
YOU made this statement " On energy, President Donald Trump has Made America Great Again. In 2019, after 62 years, the United States achieved energy independence, meaning that as a nation we produced more energy than we consumed"
well the US Government says we consume 18 Billion barrels of oil a day and the Producers tell them that they only produce less then 12 Billion a day and when Trump was in it was up to 13 billion barrels a day at their peak .
so just where did we get the 5 to 6 Billion barrels of oil we use a day that the US oil producers don't pump?
Does it just come out of the air? or does the oil Fairy wave her hand and it just appears?
What Trump called being " Energy independent " is not really being Independent but being a NET EXPORTER of energy.
IF you need to buy oil from another country to cover what you consume you are not independent
we imported a lot of different types of oil we do not produce here and we mix that oil with other things and we export those products and we export Nat. Gas that doesn't make us independent it makes us a net energy exporter
YOU are getting Being energy INDEPENDENT with being a net energy exporter
like it has been said many time before on these forums being INDEPENDENT means you do not need anything from anybody
and as it has been shown we need to import over 5 Billion barrels of oil just to meet the needs of our country
have a nice day
By definition if you export more than you import you produce more than you consume.

But here. I'll make it simple for the simple minded amongst us.

We would be Energy INDEPENDENT IF we did not have to import any type of energy from other countriesWhen you're exporting more than your importing, yes.
They aren't because they have to use their own money to reopen them thus they are being more cautious about it.People in the US have to start asking why haven't the US oil companies reopened all the wells they shut down back in 2020
in Feb and March of 2020 they were producing almost 13 Billion barrels a day
in May of 2020 they cut their production almost 2 Billion barrels a day because of the Russian / Saudi price war.
and they did start increasing it again and it has gone up very slowly, and is still almost a Billion barrels a day less then they were back in 2020
Maybe that is one reason they are keeping oil prices high
Have a nice night
You don't know what you are talking about. You haven't prove anything in any of these threadsI've debunked your numbers over and over in other threads but you refuse to acknowledge reality.
Have a nice day, I won't waste any more time on you.
And once again for the cognitively impaired.You don't know what you are talking about. You haven't prove anything in any of these threads

Yes the literal argument. You read something and thus are gonna stick to your guns because you can't understand the context surrounding it. Thus you think you have some high ground in the argument and are rightAnd once again for the cognitively impaired.

Good for you...
This is a lie/ false info
the US consumes between 17 to 20 Billion barrels of oil a day and has for several years.
and we produced the high of 12,966 billion barrels a day in Nov. 2019US Oil Consumption, 1965 – 2023 | CEIC Data
US Oil Consumption was reported at 19,140.000 Barrel/Day th in Dec 2022. This records an increase from the previous number of 18,785.000 Barrel/Day th for Dec 2021.www.ceicdata.com
so we had to IMPORT between 4 to 7 Billion barrels a day to cover what we consumed
so just how were we INDEPENDENT?
you said " The U.S. produced more petroleum than it consumed in 2020, and the numbers were essentially in balance in 2021, according to the Energy Information Administration."[/B]"
and as you can see we didn't
Have a nice day
the link you posted contradicts what the US government says we produced.And once again for the cognitively impaired.

Link I posted is the US government. Face reality.the link you posted contradicts what the US government says we produced.
according to the US government the most we ever produced was just under 13 Billion barrels a day your link says 18Billion
I wonder if they mixed it up with what we consumed not produced
18 Billion barrels is in the area of 18 Billion barrels a day and produced only 13 Billion a day
Have a niceday
