Rather meaningless.
Not really.
Biden promised to limit oil leasing in order to "keep the oil in the ground" and mitigate carbon emissions and climate change. But those promises are now revealed as lies. The fact that the Biden administration just conducted the largest offshore oil lease sale ever clearly shows that Biden was lying when he promised to limit oil leasing during his administration.
Biden has made a large number of other promises about changing US infrastructure. The fact he is lying about stopping oil leasing raises the question of what else he is lying about when he makes promises about the future of US energy infrastructure.
For instance, consider the rise in US coal consumption during Biden's first year in office. For years BIden and the Ds have promised to reduce US coal consumption, but the inflation and higher energy prices that Joe Biden's policies have created mean that coal is now a cheap energy source, and coal consumption is now increasing in the US as a result.

Can we trust Joe Biden's promises to totally transform US energy infrastructure? I think not. US energy infrastructure is changing, but not in the way Biden has been promising
