Another Biden lie about energy

 Washington Free Beacon:

Biden Admin Says It's Approved More Oil Drilling Permits Than the Trump Admin. Its Own Data Show Otherwise.

Biden admin continues to 'mislead the public for their own political gain,' GOP spokesman says

The Biden administration has approved more than 1,000 fewer oil permits in its first three years than the Trump administration did in the same timeframe, according to internal Interior Department documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. Those documents directly contradict the drilling permit data the agency has shared with the public, which environmental groups have used to argue for more restrictive federal oil and gas policies.

The nonpublic documents, shared with the House Natural Resources Committee by the Interior Department and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, indicate the Trump administration approved far more drilling permits than Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) online database gives it credit for. And it represents the latest example of the Biden administration appearing to publish inaccurate data that have, in turn, been used as evidence of it being friendlier than expected to the oil and gas industry.

...

Biden came in trying to limit oil and gas production and it looks like that aspect of his agenda was accomplished. But it is also why the cost of gas is significantly higher than it was under Trump. It is another reason for many people to vote against Biden and that is why he is lying about it.
