Since President Joe Biden took office, oil production has risen both on federal lands and on U.S. lands overall. Overall domestic oil production in 2021 came close to a record high.
In this analysis, we’ll focus on Walker’s other contention — that Democrats, including Biden,"stopped domestic drilling" for oil.
"The whole idea that Biden has reduced oil drilling or oil production is completely upside-down," said Clark Williams-Derry, an energy finance analyst with the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis.1. Biden never acted to end domestic drilling; he sought the more limited goal of pausing new leases to drill specifically on federal lands.
"The federal government has no ability either to restrict or to mandate oil and gas drilling on private land," Williams-Derry said."Those decisions are made by private oil and gas companies, as regulated by states, not by the federal government."Biden’s order on federal leases, saying that Congress alone has the authority to pause oil and gas leasing. This put those leases back on track.
