It is well known, and ignored by the Biden White House, that the United States can produce abundant oil and gas if only President Joe Biden would remove his own restrictions. An executive order to resume fossil fuel production on federal lands would be a clear step toward replacing Russian oil and gas now that the U.S. government has imposed an oil embargo in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

However, the Biden administration is reluctant to resume domestic production because this would anger the Green New Deal crowd, to which Biden is beholden. There is another way, however. The U.S. can reduce greenhouse gases, revive its energy industry, and cut the flow of money to Vladimir Putin’s war machine using a technology called carbon capture.
