Uhhh… is this fake news?
‘… on track to produce more oil than any country in history…’ is not the same as ’ IS producing more oil than any country in history’??
The US is already the top producer according to multiple sources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_oil_production
US is already top oil producer in the world
But other countries don’t “produce” off-site as the US does. https://youtu.be/C7BCZCWlvEc
But see https://lemmy.ml/post/9545011 and the linked Art Berman/Nate Hagens podcast.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
As the world grapples with the existential crisis of climate change, environmental activists want President Joe Biden to phase out the oil industry, and Republicans argue he’s already doing that.
America is exporting the same amount of crude oil, refined products and natural gas liquids as Saudi Arabia or Russia produces, S&P said.
Record-shattering US production is helping to offset aggressive supply cuts meant to support high prices by OPEC+, mainly Saudi Arabia and Russia.
Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska warned in a floor speech that the Biden administration’s war on energy is a “gift to our adversaries.”
Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s Biden policies that have paved the way for record US oil production, nor that the White House would rush to take credit for that.
“President Biden has been dragged kicking and screaming from his initial keep-it-in-the-ground strategy towards a more pragmatic policy,” McNally said, noting the administration was “mugged by the reality of high gas prices and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.”
The original article contains 984 words, the summary contains 166 words. Saved 83%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Better than sending the Middle East and Russia billions while they plot the west’s demise. We need to get off oil altogether, but those guys in OPEC will make sure it never happens.
Yes, the plot that the FBI uncovered
“We have intercepted electronic communication indicating that al-Qaeda members are actively plotting to stay out of the way while America as we know it gradually crumbles under the weight of its own self-inflicted debt and disrepair,” FBI Deputy Director Mark F. Giuliano told the assembled press corps. “If this plan succeeds, it will leave behind a nation with a completely dysfunctional economy, collapsing infrastructure, and a catastrophic health crisis afflicting millions across the nation. We want to emphasize that this danger is very real.”
“Praise Allah, for soon every American city shall be plagued with disaster and hardship,” al-Zawahiri said in the video, which includes several minutes of footage of young, masked al-Qaeda militants casually sipping beverages as they thumb through the latest issues of Time and U.S. News And World Report. “The infidels have brought this pain and destruction upon themselves through their arrogance and callousness. Soon, the United States will watch in horror as its bridges crumble, its desperate citizens suffer in want of medicine and paying employment, and its once vast riches are reduced to naught. The righteous warriors among our ranks must now unite, get comfortable, and look on from afar at the calamity unfolding in the West.”

I feel like nowadays news from The Onion is more accurate than what is actually reported by news networks
