Joe Biden Complains Oil Companies ‘Should Be Drilling More’ After Vowing to End Fossil FuelsCharlie Spiering 3 Nov 2022
President Joe Biden complained that oil companies were not drilling enough for oil, despite his long history of trying to block oil and gas production in the United States.
“We haven’t slowed them down at all, they should be drilling more than they’re doing now,” Biden said. “If they were drilling more we’d have more relief at the pump.”
The president spoke about high gas prices during a trip to New Mexico to campaign for Democrat candidates.
Biden, however, has acted several times during his first two years in office to lower the production of oil and gasoline in the United States.
Biden has leased fewer acres for oil and gas in his first two years than any other administration at the same point in time since the end of World War II, according to the Wall Street Journal.
In January 2021, Biden also issued an executive order freezing oil and gas leases, a decision that has been tangled up in the courts.
