Outgoing President Joe Biden on Monday moved to permanently ban offshore oil and gas drilling across more than 625 million acres of U.S. coastal territory, protecting swaths of the East Coast, the eastern Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific, and Alaska's Northern Bering Sea from fossil fuel exploitation just before President-elect Donald Trump is set to retake power.

Oil production was increased during Biden’s term to prevent Russia from funding their invasion of Ukraine by selling their oil on the black market to avoid sanctions.

I can’t find anything to support your claim about fracking in Pennsylvania.

There's always an excuse to pay campaign donors back....

And if you get specific for what you want about Pennsylvania I could find a source for you, but I can't tell what you're saying you couldn't find.

So you would prefer we help Russia fund their invasion of Ukraine by not undercutting their black market oil?

You need me to get specific about your claims?

How exactly does oil going to a white market prevent 3rd parties from purchasing cheaper oil on a black or grey market?

America isn't producing more oil to undercut Russia, they are producing more because they cornered Russia's previous market cap.

Yes...

What part do you want a source on?

I'm trying to help you understand, you seem to want an argument. I'm not getting roped into that.

So either specify what you can't find a source on so I can help, or dont expect more replies.

Quick edit:

Actually nevermind, I'm just gonna call this one. If anyone else wants a source, please be specific and I'll try to find it if you're having difficulty as well.
