It is just stupid not to produce our own oil
Simply more of the same sort of incorrect comments from Melvin.
"The United States holds 35,230,000,000 barrels of proven oil reserves as of 2016, ranking 11th in the world and accounting for about 2.1% of the world's total oil reserves of 1,650,585,140,000 barrels. The United States has proven reserves equivalent to 4.9 times its annual consumption."
"In 2022, EIA said it expects growth in production from OPEC+ and U.S. tight oil production, along with other supply additions, will outpace growth in global oil consumption and contribute to declining oil prices."

Oil

Posted By Rod Kaufman
"Although total U.S. crude oil production generally declined between 1985 and 2008, annual production increased nearly each year from 2009 through 2019, reaching the highest amount on record in 2019. More cost-effective drilling technology helped to boost production, especially in Texas, North Dakota, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Colorado. U.S crude oil production dropped by about 8% in 2020."
The top five crude oil producers and their percentage shares of world crude oil production in 2020 were:
United States
15%
Russia
13%
Saudi Arabia
12%
Iraq
6%
Canada

The US has ample amounts of oil and the Biden administration is now doing the right thing by releasing a portion from the reserves for the shortages caused by the hurricane and subsequent flooding:

Actually the department of homeland security thinks it's worth talking about.

When they (DHS & law enforcement) refer to neo nazis and the like, they're talking about groups and what those groups are saying and not the occasional nutjob...
