While you have a point, my problem I'm with that is that there's an infinite loop you could go back to in the long term. It's like complaining about roe v wade being overturned by Republican judges. There's plenty of blame to be had on democrars falling to put anything up in a meaningful capacity, but there's an element of "here and now" and I'm not willing to give any Democrat the benefit of the doubt for the oil dependency when they're too busy trying to regulate out oil rather than incentivizing other options to do it themselves. The energy narrative 10+ years ago was "we need to get off oil and become independent" which is a notable cause. Something seems to have flipped in their brains in the last 4 years though from this to "we need to kill oil by any means necessary" and have gone a step further to France shuttering nuclear power plants to meet global initiative goals by retards so attached to solar and wind that it makes seem really fucking sketch.

Overall, we as Americans have all made our bed and lie in it due to our lack of foresight, but there's nothing that can convince me that the current administration isn't the catalyst who ignited this and accelerated it. But we're doing better than the PEE-U so could be worse I guess at least we have the resources to deal with it. I don't believe crude is really a problem, it's all about refining
