Seems that it is working. I have a friend who has some oil land in Texas. Maybe I should go visit him.
“DRILL, BABY, DRILL” WORKED: U.S. oil hits all-time high as Trump dismantles Biden’s war on fossil fuels
https://www.naturalnews.com/2025-08-21-trump-dismantles-bidens-war-on-fossil-fuels.htmlU.S. oil output hits all-time highs under President Donald Trump's pro-energy policies, defying Biden-era constraints. The Trump administration reverses Biden's climate agenda at unprecedented speed, prioritizing domestic energy dominance. Gasoline prices are now forecasted to drop below $3 per gallon next year, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
The shift marks a dramatic reversal from the Biden era, when production was driven not by policy but by high global oil prices—often exceeding $60 per barrel, a testament to the administration's aggressive deregulation and pro-drilling stance. "Drill, baby, drill is working," declared the Committee to Unleash Prosperity in an August report, noting that Trump's policies have tripled U.S. output in 15 years through advances in fracking and horizontal drilling.
The stakes extend beyond economics. Trump's energy revival is a direct rebuttal to the globalist push for "net-zero" emissions, which critics argue would cripple the U.S. economy while enriching foreign adversaries like China. "This isn't just about cheap gas—it's about national security," said Alex Stevens, communications director for the Institute for Energy Research. "Biden's first act was killing Keystone XL. Trump's first act was declaring energy a national priority."
The 200-day blitz: How Trump outpaced his first term
Trump's second-term energy offensive has moved faster than his first, with 200 deregulatory actions logged in just 200 days—double the pace of his initial presidency. Key moves include:
Day 1 executive orders: Reversed Biden's climate declarations, exited the Paris Accord (again) and froze offshore wind projects.
Keystone XL revival: Undid Biden's 2021 cancellation, accelerating pipeline construction to transport Canadian crude to U.S. refineries.
LNG export surge: Lifted Biden's pause on liquefied natural gas permits, with the Department of Energy approving multiple export terminals.
EPA overhaul: Proposed repealing the Obama-era "endangerment finding"—the legal foundation for vehicle emissions rules—while targeting 31 Biden-era regulations.
Congressional backing: Republicans passed bills to block fracking bans and end methane fees on oil producers, with more legislation pending.
The American Energy Alliance (AEA), which tracked Biden's 250 anti-energy actions, now documents Trump's 200 pro-energy countermeasures—from lease sales in Alaska's ANWR to rolling back EV mandates. "Biden spent four years making energy harder to produce. Trump spent six months making it impossible to stop," Stevens said.
Yet challenges loom. Environmental groups and blue-state attorneys general are gearing up for litigation, particularly over the EPA's proposed repeals. "The next 200 days will be about defending these actions in court," Stevens predicted.
