Rep. Brian Babin called the Biden administration to blame the diminished oil production on someone else, not on them. The White House blamed the oil companies for not drilling enough, but the president decided to limit oil production. Democrats are allegedly trying to kill oil in the US to make way for eco-fantasies driving the US aground.

Biden Promises To Minimize Oil Price Hikes

Rep. Babin dismissed the Biden administration's assertions that decreased oil output is due to firms neglecting to use permits that have already been authorized for tens of thousands of locations, reported Newsmax.

He added that Biden said that the State of the Union message the other night that he just did and that he wasn't holding back the US oil productions.

Babin added that his district wants more oil refining facilities than any other member of Congress, noted Newsmax TV.

Rep. Babin heard the SOTU, and when Biden said he would be doing everything to minimize price hikes, which was not the truth since he comes from a district that is serious about reversing the diminished oil production.

The president promised he would be doing everything to keep price increases in the United States to a minimum while announcing the US ban on Russian oil on Tuesday, but warned that easing economic laws would not improve US energy production, cited NPR.

US Oil Companies Cannot Start Production Immediately

Biden stated that oil and gas companies could be increasing domestic production already since they were given the permits to drill but not have used them. He added the land leases were available as well.

Babin struck back at the statements and commented about the activity of these companies not doing much. Still stressed that it was not true and the Democrat president is the culprit. He added that it is good that a Russian oil ban was issued, but there should be more action than words, or it's all for nothing.

Furthermore, there should be more data on the stance of the White House against the oil industry it's pushing against. One problem is the radical democrats that favor alternative energy wants nothing more than killing the oil industry. These people are getting fixated on getting more electric cars, but it places everyone in the red, but they don't give a care.

So, if the president wants to stop importing Russian oil now, then stop restricting oil and gas projects and press on with pipelines. He doubts there's no real intention for the Keystone XL pipeline. The representative said that Biden should start talking to energy producers then stop preventing the state with oil from getting then processing it.

Under former President Donald Trump, the US was energy independent, unlike now, with President Biden leading it. Everything is on Biden's terrible decisions and mismanagement of the US energy policy, creating all this trouble.

Getting oil companies to start drilling will take time, and the actions of this administration are questionable. Babin said Biden would use Russian oil rather than US oil, but he had no choice. Babin says the administration and the diminished oil production it has caused will not be easy to repair, but it suits the administration's ends.
