Trump built infrastructure, or more accurately, got the government out of the way. That made it possible for ND to produce 1.4 million barrels of oil per day, because there were ways to get it to the refineries.
Biden, OTOH, stopped infrastructure projects day one.
Biden didn't understand that one of the effects of COVID and crashed oil prices was that stripper wells were plugged and abandoned all over, a cumulative total of some 1.5 million BOPD of oil production, and that the Keystone XL would have moved another 800,000 BOPD of oil from the tar sands up in Canada (and some from the Bakken) to refineries, which would have taken over half of the sting out of losing all that stripper well production.
Instead, that meant the full brunt of that shortfall was felt in the markets, and launched an increase in motor fuels costs (along with the price of crude oil), and that launched an increase in the price of just about everything. The root of the inflation seen under his watch lies there, and in subsequent policies which limited drilling opportunities onshore and off.
As with Obama, what progress the oil and gas industry has made, it has made in spite of the Administration, not because of it. The shortage of Federal leases is only magnified by the fact that for 12 of the last 16 years, leases on private or State land are what has seen the industry through, but even that has its limits.
Who shat upon what economy? You tell me.
