Harmful Green Energy Obsession

Why would a president prefer to buy oil from Iran, Russia, and Venezuela during a crisis than simply produce more oil in his own country and help his own citizens? I just can't understand this mentality, but I guess their citizens will be grateful.

From PJ Media: "This isn’t rocket science: gas prices are hitting astronomical new heights every day because Old Joe Biden closed the Keystone Pipeline, ended our energy independence, and forced us to rely on supplies of Russian oil that have become problematic in all kinds of ways with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Yet even as the crisis intensifies, Biden’s handlers refuse to reverse course and restore America’s own oil supplies; instead, it is courting authoritarian regimes, as if paying Russia for oil wasn’t enough financing of tyranny already. Next in line: Venezuela."
