Heather Cox Richardson wrote today that:
"Trump has also vowed to eliminate the Biden administration’s policies to address climate change, promising to “drill, baby, drill” and make the U.S. energy independent by increasing production of fossil fuels. In fact, the production of oil and gas hit an all-time high during the Biden administration and the U.S. exports those products, but so long as the U.S is tied to fossil fuels, it will likely always import them because the oil it exports is a different kind than it uses."
So, I ask the energy experts here if this is true. Will the result of more drilling for oil only result in exporting it, and not diminish the U.S.'s dependence on foreign oil imports?
