Loook at thr graph, still below 2020 production. Biden has said many times and taken actions against the oil industry.

Yeah. I did. I can apparently read and do simple math.

The monthly numbers for 2020 are: 12,852 12,842 12,797 11,914 9,713 10,442 11,006 10,577 10,921 10,457 11,196 11,169

which yields an average production of 11323.83333 thousand barrels a day for the year.

This year, production is the following: 11,369 11,316 11,701 11,668 11,615 11,816

which yields an average production of 11580.83333 thousand barrels a day for the year.

11580 (2022) is greater than 11323 (2020) by about ~22%.

I should have said beginning of 2020 or 2019 (e.g. before covid). Even the growth since Biden took office looks slower than before from the graph.

Can you provide many quotes of Biden saying he was going to take action against oil industry?
