Odessa Over OPEC

This past week, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC+) announced it would cut oil production by 2 million barrels per day. This production cut comes after President Biden’s visit to Saudi Arabia in July to ask for more oil production overseas.

Energy is fundamental for our society. President Biden’s crowning policy achievement will be making America more dependent on foreign countries for our energy needs in order to appease Green interest groups. To make matters worse, the Biden Administration is reportedly considering a ban or limit on exports of refined petroleum products. 

President Biden continues to be on the wrong side of every major issue affecting America’s energy security. An export ban of any kind would further discourage U.S. oil and gas production and the necessary investment needed to ensure our Nation is the world energy leader for decades to come.

We must refocus on restoring American energy independence. The first step should be ending government-made barriers to oil and gas investment and rolling back regulatory burdens put forth by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

Let’s put Odessa, Texas over OPEC and encourage more American production. Now.
