Mr. Trump has also said he would expand domestic drilling for oil and gas, although those are already at record levels under the Biden administration. That could mean expanding drilling permits in the Alaskan wilderness. And he has said he would revive and expand his first-term effort to cut back on federal regulations.
We thought we might provide some graphical data you might not read in the press or hear from environmental groups, who cheerlead the Biden Administration’s so called “climate” policies (hit the links for raw data and explanatory US EIA Reports).
According to US Energy Information Administration data (see below), the Biden Administration set records for US oil and gas production, while coal exports are significant and increasing, as US domestic coal consumption declines but remains significant.
The most recent EPA data (2022) shows US greenhouse gas emissions increased.
That EPA data does not account for the emissions from huge US exports of LNG and increasing exports of coal (or the GHG emissions from the US proxy war in Ukraine or US supplied genocide in Palestine).
