“Maybe he has a magic recipe to push them to drill like mad,” TotalEnergies Chief Executive Officer Patrick Pouyanne said at the conference. He cited U.S. producers’ commitment to return ca$h to shareholders and said “it’s not only decisions by politicians” that drive American output."

The US was fortunate that oil production was not as seriously affected by Obama's war on fossil fuels as the coal industry was. Because of existing government policies regarding the production of oil when Obama took office, the production of oil remained robust for the most part for most of Obama's term. Nevertheless, Obama was always opposed to fossil fuels no matter what congress did or did not do to go along with his positions.

Fight Back Against Obama's War on Fossil Fuels

This article is more than 10 years old.

Last August I had the opportunity to speak to an audience of 500 coal miners at the Kentucky Mining Institute’s annual Mine Rescue Competition—a celebration of the competence and courage of coal miners. The celebration was muted, though, by the fact that in 2013, thousands of their fellow coal miners lost their jobs—not because of incompetence, not because their product wasn’t needed, but because their President had fired the opening shots in what has been described as a War on Fossil Fuels.

For several hundred years, fossil fuels—super-concentrated ancient plant energy stored in the form of coal, oil, and natural gas—have been the leading fuel of civilization, from the steam-powered locomotives of centuries ago to the high-energy Internet of today. No other fuel has been able to match them in producing cheap, reliable energy for billions around the world.

In the last three decades, peoples around the world have used dramatically more energy to improve their lives—and most of that energy came from fossil fuels, especially coal. Overall life expectancy is up 7 years largely thanks to fossil-fuel-powered industrial progress in countries such as China and India. Imagine having someone you love live for 7 more years—and then multiply that by 7 billion--that’s the kind of progress affordable energy can help bring about.

And that’s progress in both the developing and undeveloped world; between 1980 and the present, the consumption of oil increased 3.9%, the consumption of natural gas increased 28.5%, and the consumption of coal increased 12.6%—fueling our ever-more-productive, high-tech society. (Source: World Bank Data.)

In 2007 and 2008, Candidate Obama declared his intention to destroy fossil fuel energy in America and around the world, calling for “emissions targets” that would make it illegal to use more than 20% of today’s levels. About oil, the most versatile fuel in the world, the fuel that powers 95% of our transportation system, and the fuel that has, through shale oil booms in North Dakota, Texas, and elsewhere has been one of our few sources of economic hope, he said:

At the dawn of the twenty-first century, the country that faced down the tyranny of fascism and communism is now called to challenge the tyranny of oil… For the sake of our security, our economy, our jobs and our planet, the age of oil must end in our time.

The US has NEVER been energy independent. Energy has ALWAYS been owned by a tiny minority that drills for it, transports it, refines it and markets it.

OK. Let's accept your claim that the US has never been energy independent, which makes Obama's opposition to fossil fuels all the more nonsensical.
