    Where did I say we didn’t? Holy Lemmy never lets me down in how you misread.

    The problem is everyone expects the Dems to solve it in one term. Now it’s Biden’s fault that he didn’t solve it in his one term. You know, remake the entire energy grid and turn over the entire vehicle fleet in his 4 years.

      No, people expect the Dems to not exponentially make problems worse, since that’s their only function based on the last 80 years of their actions. Biden failed to do that simple function, and signed off more public lands to oil companies than trump and Bush Jr combined.

        so you mean all the oil production that trump created, that biden kept relatively linear wasn’t good enough?

        You want the dems to reverse everything the republicans do, and more? Good luck with a political campaign.

          Misinformation isn’t allowed here, Biden raised oil production, Trump lowered it.bhttps://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=MCRFPUS2&f=M

          Yes, I want them to adopt popular bipartisan policies, like m4a, green energy subsidies, food subsidies, new government housing, etc

            if you’re referencing that specific graph, the graph where oil production starts fairly high, and then drops significantly due to covid, and then rose back up a little bit higher than where it was previously. Compared to the 2016-2020 period where there is a very clear and distinct rise in production? Even including the 2016 lull.

            I wish this graph was a little cleaner, and didnt include 100 years worth of oil production, and also had a rate of change average over the top of it, that would really demonstrate the point i’m making.

            i would like for them to adopt these as well, but i fear almost none of these are going to be “bipartisan” the political climate is just too much of a disaster for this stuff to matter right now. Also, doesn’t the IRA bill literally subsidize green energy? As well as appliance and utility upgrades for home owners.
