As The Daily Wire reported:The Biden administration\u2019s overture to the cartel comes after his administration cracked down on oil and gas infrastructure projects that could have boosted oil supply and fuel production in the United States. Instead, the White House is attempting to push the United States to adopt more green energy technologies, such as electric cars.As one of his first acts as president, Biden\u00a0revoked\u00a0a permit from the Keystone XL Pipeline project allowing the planned pipeline to cross over from Canada into the United States. Biden\u2019s action effectively killed the pipeline, costing thousands of jobs. If completed, the pipeline would have shipped over 800,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta, Canada, to refineries on the Gulf Coast of Texas.In June, Biden\u00a0suspended\u00a0oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge\u2019s 1002 area, a massive oil preserve located in Alaska. Former President Donald Trump finalized a plan to open the area to oil development in 2020 after decades of Alaskan officials lobbying the federal government.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
