Blocking US oil drilling will backfire on Biden's climate agenda: report
Fox News
Domestic oil and gas production results in far fewer greenhouse gas emissions than drilling in countries where the Biden administration has turned to for supplies.
"There are a lot of countries out there that don't use their energy in ways that benefit their country like we do," NOIA President Erik Milito told Fox News Digital in an interview. "They use it in ways that are geopolitically disadvantageous to countries like the U.S., and it ends up being a tool that they use to assert their political influence." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"We have an opportunity for continued leasing, continued permitting, continued sensible regulations to make sure our oil production continues to thrive," he continued. "Taking away U.S. production simply provides that advantage to these other countries that are generally recognized as pollution havens and that use their energy to hurt our national security."
