Alternative Fact
Under President Trump, the U.S. became the Number One Producer of Oil and Natural Gas in the World — and we will soon be again by lifting restrictions on American Energy Production and terminating the Socialist Green New Deal. Republicans will unleash Energy Production from all sources, including nuclear, to immediately slash Inflation and power American homes, cars, and factories with reliable, abundant, and affordable Energy.

Fact
The United States is already the number one producer of oil and natural gas in the world.
Since 2018, the United States has produced more crude oil than every other country.
In 2023, the United States was also the largest producer of natural gas in the world, producing over twice the amount of natural gas than Russia, the second leading producer.
While the Republican Platform mentions production from “all [energy] sources” once, it conveniently excludes two popular renewable sources, solar and wind, presumably because it does not fit into their narrative of “drill baby drill.”
