He is correct in that there are multiple causes. But wholly incorrect in the denialism present in the 'Biden defense'.

And to top it off, these same dumbasses that are smothering the US hydrocarbon industry are now proposing government subsidy checks to cover the increased cost of gas....

Doubling up on the idea that you should read through the entire back and forth. The issue wasn’t whether Biden admin had any impact, but rather if the Biden admin had caused companies to move their rigs to another country. It’s a claim OO still hasn’t backed up with evidence.

No, the issue AFAIc was that drilling was down. You demanded evidence of where they were without offering an alternative that you could back up. I explained my reasoning, and said it was reasoning, but you demand something in black and white and that stuff just isn’t available anywhere. There is no registry that details location of rigs not used in the USA.
