Prove “energy independence” occurred in the US at any point in the last 15 years. Tell us the YEAR it happened, and how.

Biden is causing less production of oil? Interesting, since "federal data shows the Biden administration approved 3,557 permits for oil and gas drilling on public lands in its first year, far outpacing the Trump administration's first-year total of 2,658".
If permitting is up, but production is down, how is it Biden's fault?
Explain, please.

You talk about 500,000 barrels. That's still 7.5 MILLION barrels unaccounted for in your "energy independence" idea. How did that shortfall get filled?

"I showed you proof that we were energy independent and you ignored that too. ARE YOU RETARDED???"

Nope, you did nothing of the sort. And I have asked more than five times for you to do so. Maybe Republitards fall for "a lie that's repeated often enough becomes a truth" (as stated by Hitler and later Trump), but I'm not falling for it.
Don't claim you provided proof when you haven't. That's a douche move if ever there was one.
Nut up kid, and back up the diarrhea that spills from your mouth.

You fuucking idiot. I gave you a post number and proof. It states the year. You are being a retard just to be a retard. Go fuuck your dog you retard. I am done with your ignorant trolling ***. Retard.

You’re actually equating “urging people to confront someone if you see them in public” to an outright death threat?
Yet you think Trump was 100% non-complicit in the Capitol attack when he was telling people to go there and "fight like hell" to "stop the steal"?
Boy, you couldn't keep a story straight if you tried.
Make up your miniscule fvcking mind.

No seriously, go fuuck your dog. You are an ignorant trolling idiot. Fuuck off. Ignore everything then call people liars when you ignore shit. Eat a diick you fuucking troll.

The bigger question is how OPEC+ will factor in the US shale phenomenon this time around. After all, America used to spend 3% of GDP buying foreign energy in 2008 but it just became a net energy exporter thanks to surging domestic output. “Whether measured in BTUs/oil barrels equivalent or in US dollars, we estimate that the reversal in energy balances from a deficit into a surplus likely occurred in October 2018. With oil prices falling by 20% from the highs in recent weeks, the next OPEC+ decision will have to factor in: (1) the massive 2+mn b/d YoY surge in US output and (2) the negative demand impact of the ongoing trade tensions.

“Whether measured in BTUs/oil barrels equivalent or in US dollars, we estimate that the reversal in energy balances”

This does not mean we are independent you dumbfuck. It’s talking about balance.
A simple comparison would be two people who barter goods for survival: one person provides food, another provides the shelter.
Together their needs are met, but they are not “independent”.

2018 production was less than 11 million barrels per day, an INCREASE over previous years, with fewer active wells.

US oils consumption in 2018 was over 19 million barrels per day.
WHERE DID WE MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DAILY PRODUCTION AND DAILY USE?
IF WE HAD TO BUY IT FROM INTERNATIONAL SOURCES, WE WERE NOT INDEPENDENT.



So, I’ll ask you yet again: WHERE DID THE OIL COME FROM THAT WE DID NOT AND COULD NOT PRODUCE?
“INDEPENDENT” means we are able to provide all of our energy needs from within our own borders.
Show us when that happened.

Lol at how uneducated you Republitards are. Actually believing the bullshlt spoon-fed to you by your leaders, even when the truth is so readily available.
Blissful in your ignorance.

Following the Republitard arguing playbook, I see.
Facts are provided that are contrary to your feelings, so you lash out with weak attempts at insults.
Third grade stuff, really.

When that pesky science gets in the way of your feelings and beliefs, and silly me memes.

"Using educational attainment as a proxy for IQ, the maybe the very smartest vote Democratic,"

Uhhh, no. You don't get to use a "proxy for IQ". Just like you can't say "He doesn't have two nickels to rub together, but he is very wealthy in all the friends he has".

The great part is the biased publisher of this page isn't smart enough to spell-check such a small amount of text, AND can't even spell his nom de plume correctly ("smartistone"? really? "smartestone" was already taken?)
Additionally comical is "This agrees with my own experience online with both liberals and conservatives. Conservative arguments, in general, tend to be imbued with history and facts whereas liberal arguments tend to be tribalistic and animalistic"
S/he accept a flawed analysis because it lines up with "own experience". I'm wondering where are these arguments of fact that the conservatives offer? None of them seem to be on THIS site.

Playing Google is fun, but you should apply some critical thinking before you post your results.
Nice try.

Some more wisdom from "smartistone": "Bitcoin's surge has nothing to do with Russia".
The explanation: "the price of Bitcoin is much more so influenced by Americans, who are vastly wealthier, comparably speaking, than Russians"
Hmmmm, I guess the market collapse after 9/11 had nothing to to with terrorists, as it was actually wealthy people dumping their stocks in a panic selloff?
Genius!

I said go eat a diick. I am done with your ignorant trolling assss.

I will leave this for the idiot to read as I am no longer responding directly to his ignorant trolling asss. Energy independent as per the government means we are making more money on energy then we are spending. NOT JUST OIL, BUT ALL ENERGY. Not the chosen definition of HIS that all energy would be had from inside out borders to make us energy independent. Let's just clear his confusion and use terms and definitions the government has chosen to use.

2018, I proved it with get this, factual proof. No, he wanted to continue to argue and cherry pick so he could continue to argue. Dumb asss, ignorant, trolling, diick eating, dog fuucking libertard. And I am done.
