U.S. Oil Exports Notched a New Record in 2024

[placeholder]

 

 

The record came despite a 53% year-over-year decline in exports to China, due to a decline in transportation fuel demand there as well as higher imports from Malaysia and Russia that replaced barrels from the U.S., according to the Energy Information Administration.

Trump's trade war with China, which has reduced benchmark U.S. oil prices more than 15% this month, threatens to further reduce exports to China.

U.S. oil producers made up for declining sales there by shipping more to India last year as well as a 6% uptick in shipments to Europe.

Wasn't that the administration that promised to wean us off fossil fuels?

He did try.  He failed miserably, just like the rest of his tenure.

Thanks for the non evidence to back up your claim. As for the increase in gas and oil production, apparently you believe Biden should be some sort of magician, and all he had to do was snap his fingers to solve problems. It seems to be what Trumpists believe about Trump.

Look like Canada will be increasing its oil exports to other countries this year, so more competition.

Fossil fuels will be coming back stronger now under Trump.  
 

All the Democrats outrage over probationary Federal workers being laid off was non existent when Biden destroyed the hopes/jobs of the Keystone Pipeline workers.  
 

No outrage when  private companies conduct a reduction in force.

 

U.S. Coal miners are certainly happier now.  They weren’t too happy when Hillary suggested they learn to make circuit boards.

You mean the pipeline that would have conveyed oil subject to tariffs.  As for US coal miners, the utility companies sure don't want to be burning coal anymore. Way too expensive to build new plants. The economics favor renewables. On the other hand, Trump is giving coal burning utilities an avenue to release neurotoxins like mercury into the atmosphere once again.

Look at your own graph.  US oil exports boomed during Trump 1 and stagnated under Biden.  As for evidence that Biden promised to wean us off fossil fuels, that was a campaign promise, and yet another failure on his part.

Maybe in Opposite world. Here's the graph with a liine and arrow to make it clear what happened in this one:
