Read my post again, Ray... And try to absorb what it’s actually saying, rather than jumping immediately to your own conclusions! The data I presented is directly from the EIA website on “U.S. Field Production of Crude Oil”… check it out! I hope you’re not suggesting that the EIA is lying! And let’s be honest again, Ray… President Biden never “promised to end our petroleum production.” What he DID say during the presidential debate on October 20, 2020… when asked by Trump if he would “close down the oil industry,” and when he was finally allowed to answer the question was… “I would transition from the oil industry, yes!” And when asked why he would do that, his response was… “Because the oil industry pollutes… significantly [meaning, as a source of energy]... and it has to be replaced by renewable energy over time. Over time!” So, you can twist THOSE statements any way you want… But please… be honest about what he actually said! And while I don’t deny your assertion that oil is still necessary for the production of all kinds of products… I’ve never heard anyone suggest that the flow of oil would be staunched to the point we would not have the resources needed to produce the products we’ve come to rely on! I mean… even Tylenol is a petroleum-based product! (continued… )

( …page 2) As for Mr. Yergin… I know he’s a well-respected, often quoted and published author and “expert” on global energy. And I actually appreciate many of his opinions on renewable energy! However, I fail to see how you come to the conclusions you have that he has a negative opinion of them! Because here are just a few things he’s said about renewables and our energy crisis during an interview with Ezra Klein, on March 22, 2022:
Regarding Russian oil; “This is an emergency! Can we increase our production of oil to take barrels away from Russia?”
Renewables are not only about climate, but it’s also about energy security, and in order to rise to the occasion, and solve those problem, we need to;
Scour the world for more L.N.G.
Burn more coal for a couple of years so we can reduce gas imports from Russia.
Accelerate development of more efficient sources of energy.
Accelerate the rollout of electric cars.
Focus on renewables so we don’t have to use as much gas for electric generation.
