... producer on the planet these last six years? Producing a record 13 million Barrels per day. No one has done that much, ever.

And how they used the so called shortage of future oil production to get into wind energy, solar, etc and transform the selves in "Energy" companies. And worse, conned the governmet to subsidised big oil $2 Billion a year "to find unknown new sources of petroleum". Makes them the biggest source of waste that DOGE could have axed, also makes them the biggest "welfare queen" in the nation.
