Today CTUP released our new study on the impact of Biden’s war on American oil and gas. The war is working – against America’s economic and security interests.
U.S. oil production has fallen short by between one and five million barrels PER DAY compared to the pro-drilling policies under Trump. This has meant a loss of 2.4 billion barrels of missing domestic oil from markets between 2021 and the end of 2023. The reduced output has also led to a cumulative GDP loss of approximately $250 billion through today.
The Biden team says that domestic oil output is near an all-time high, but given the rapid increase in oil prices and the productivity trends (from shale oil and gas drilling), output should be much higher.
