Permit the use of preexisting approved leases in ANWAR (Alaska) to put more volume into the Alaskan oil pipeline that is severely underutilized.
Finish the Dakota access pipeline.
Reapprove the preexisting energy leases in New Mexico, Arizona, NE Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.
Retract the stoppage of the Keystone pipeline to permit efficient oil transport shipments from Canada.
Stop blocking the expansion of coastal oil refineries in Texas, Louisiana and Alabama (regulatory issue), as well as Northwest, Northeast and Southeast Seaboard.
Continue to develop natural gas as a clean burning fuel.
Drive Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as an export.
Those pipelines would take years to finish. that would have no immediate impact on energy supplies or sources.
The pipeline to ship Canadian oil to the Gulf of Mexico, to be then exported to China and elsewhere, doesn't really help us here in America, does it?
This is more frightening because she seems to be in her right mind here.
Note where she indicates we are pretty much helpless and have to beg OPEC.
Meanwhile - we could...

This has been explained many times on this forum. Demand is up as the pandemic wanes. US gasoline consumption went from a low of 5.5 million barrels per day in May, 2020 to 9.5 million barrels today. https://www.eia.gov/petroleum/weekly/gasoline.php
During the pandemic-inspired recession, when demand was low and prices bottomed out, many people stopped fracking, since that is not a cheap way to get oil and the price did not justify it. Now, they are not able to just turn on the spigot again overnight.
I know you want to blame Biden, but nothing he has done in just 9 months could have had an impact on oil imports. The Keystone XL pipeline was still years away from being operational, so stopping it could not have had any impact on our oil supply today.
Except that locally, the last time spot oil was $80/Barrell, gas was $2.25-2.35, now that oil is back to that level again, gas is now$3.39-3.49. There has to be another factor at play here.

Let's say I believe you with regards to where we are today.
What's the Administration (because Biden is doing nothing) doing for tomorrow? I put the suggestions out there. Are they doing any of those? Are they trying to make us energy independent?
Absolutely not.

I know what you mean - but I am saying they are calm and under control... while still moving forward with their destructiveness. That's the frightening part.
