Here are the facts from "Exercom," a company that markets Oil and Gas interests, "Boosted by thriving new production from shale and tight oil in response to advances in drilling technologies, production sky-rocketed through 2017 under Barack Obama’s leadership.
The 7.2% CAGR over this period is the highest in US history for a single president, despite the oil market downturn in 2015 and 2016. It is in contrast with the broader opinion that Obama was generally more sympathetic towards the environment than his predecessor and successor." Trump simply rode the increase in the market, the same as he rode the turnaround in the overall economy. Oil and Gas companies became more profitable during his term because of the cuts to their corporate taxes. "Exercom" reports this about presidential influence in general, "Since World War II, US oil production has increased on average 2.6 % per year under Democrat presidents and stayed almost flat with average annual growth of only 0.1 % under Republican presidents." Sorry, Charlie.
