What Trump voters are going to be disappointed about.

As to 1 and 5:
If Trump can manage to drill/produce more oil and throw it on the international market, Putin's oil revenues wil melt like snow from the sun. War in Uktain will soon be over then.@Wim said in What Trump voters are going to be disappointed about.:

War in Uktain will soon be over then.A little-discussed fact (except for here) is that our oil production reached its all time high under Biden. Doesn’t mean it can’t get higher, but he wasn’t able to do so in his first term.
You were warned.

In fairness it’s possible he meant on his watch it’ll only go up 36.5%.

Little discussed? It was discussed all the freaking time. The one factor that everybody kept ignoring in the conversations is that it takes years for new wells to get dug and start producing, and that production increases over time. Also ignored was the fact that oil imports into the US had declined drastically over Trump’s administration, but has raised every year under Biden’s.
So oil production will go up over the next 4 years as the new wells continue to come online and increase production. The question is how quickly can we get new wells in the ground, and what steps can be taken to get more nuclear plants up and running.

If they sell it well, I think small nuclear is where the strength of the argument lies.
And I wouldn't give up on solar, especially in certain applications. I also would keep plugging on hydrogen...Especially when production is tied to wind, some forms of hydro or solar.
The problem with hydrogen is it takes more energy to make it than what you get out of it. The problem with solar is storage of excess capacity or cloudy days when power generation falls off. Maybe using solar for hydrogen kills two birds with one stone.

Not at all in the case of the timeline involved regarding drilling and production and not always or necessarily, with regard to increased production over time.

Not from here. Oil exports from Alberta into the US increased substantially throughout the Trump years over the last two years of the Obama Administration when they actually declined, and has since continued to increase annually. The very rationale behind Trump’s policy behind KXL at the time.

It comes to perception. Those who love Trump will say the economy is doing great, regardless of what the actual numbers say. Those who hate Trump will claim the opposite.
Oil production is a perfect case. Domestic production is 20(?)% higher than at the end of Trump's term, US is a net exporter, yet the complaint is that Biden did not do enough.

Real people don't read statistics about oil production, they look at the price on the gas pump or what their heating fuel bill is.
Seems to work as a general barometer.

The idea that really low oil prices is a good thing overall is very naive.

Be careful what you wish for. Florida man might do it wearing nothing but a strategically placed tie.

So, if gas prices are the same or increase a year from now, detractors of President Trump will say that he is the cause, and those who support him will come up with reasons why the prices rose in spite of his good work.

Nope. LOL
i know you are going to say I sound like a dead horse, but presidents take too much credit and get too much blame, especially when look at their terms in a "finite" four year period.
Who is getting the blame for the 2022/2023 inflation? President Biden. Did President Trump have a significant impact on that? Yes. Does he get the blame? In the thoughts of most Americans, not really.
