Biden acts much more like Putin\u2019s puppet than Trump ever did.<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks Biden! Guess Who We\u2019re Buying More Oil From Now?<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the first things Joe Biden did upon taking office was kill the Keystone XL pipeline. For good measure, he also\u00a0aggressively sought to limit new drilling permits,<\/a> and despite some legal setbacks, Biden managed to reverse Trump\u2019s progress in making the United States energy independent.<\/p>\n

Under Trump, the United States became\u00a0a net exporter of energy for the first time in decades<\/a>. Now under Biden, we\u2019re importing more oil again, and one of the key beneficiaries of our increasing dependence on foreign oil is Russia.<\/p>\n

\u201cU.S. oil imports from Saudi Arabia and Russia have increased, and gasoline prices are higher than they have been in the last five years,\u201d\u00a0reports Energy Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And much of that is because Biden killed the Keystone XL pipeline.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Keystone XL] was a missed opportunity to increase North American energy security, lower costs for American consumers and reduce dependence on foreign energy sources that are hostile to U.S. interests,\u201d Frank Macchiarola, senior vice-president with the American Petroleum Institute, told Energy Now.\u00a0\u201cThe Keystone XL pipeline would have provided good-paying union jobs to American workers while delivering affordable, reliable energy to American consumers from a close U.S. ally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to government statistics, energy imports from\u00a0Saudi Arabia\u00a0more than doubled<\/a>\u00a0from Dec. 2020 to Oct. 2021. And our imports from Russia\u00a0more than tripled<\/a>\u00a0from Feb. 2019 through Sept. 2021.<\/p>\n

While I\u2019m sure the oil sheiks in Saudi Arabia and Vladimir Putin are thrilled to be making money selling oil and petroleum to the United States, it\u2019s hard to imagine why any American president would have intentionally enriched them at the expense of our own prosperity and our national security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
