BIDEN BLOWS UP OIL PRICES BY CANCELLING DRILLING IN U.S. NOW BEGS OPEC

That’s not how oil markets work. You probably know it, but facts don’t really fit your narrative.

Oil is a global commodity. In your scenario, the US supplied all of its fuel needs and then sold off the rest. That never happened. Mideast oil tankers never stopped supplying US markets.

The fact of cheap oil under Trump had more to do with Saudi Arabia attempting to cripple US production. They could survive $20 per barrel oil far longer than any company in the US.
You couldn't be more wrong. Putin didn't want to go along with OPEC and Saudi Arabia opened the floodgates to hurt him. Meanwhile the U.S. with fracking had opened up the Bakken oilfield in mostly western North Dakota as well as new drilling in the Permian basin and on Federal land. Our oil storage facilities in Cushing, OK were full up. The prices before the pandemic were already dropping and that wasn't because of Mideast oil. But the oil glut last year really lowered them.

Perhaps a picture will help explain.

Biden put a moratorium on drilling on Federal land. Where do you think much of America's production comes from. The U.S. still uses X amount of oil. It was a combination of lower demand due to the pandemic and Saudi Arabia ramping up production to hurt Russia that caused a glut. But prices had come way down under Trump with America become self sufficient and even had oil to export.
So what about drilling on federal land. That is not why drilling production cut back. No the US was not using X amount of oil. Again the US for all of last year was using less gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel. Where I work was not running a max capacity because it had now where to put the stuff. These oil and gas companies lost money last year and for part of this year.

Which is also why American oil producers are not going to over produce again during a temporary price hike just to crash the market.
