He canceled pipelines, restricted drilling on government lands and waters, and tightened regulations on oil and gas producers.
https://www.csis.org/analysis/biden-makes-sweeping-changes-oil-and-gas-policyBiden Makes Sweeping Changes to Oil and Gas Policy President Joe Biden has followed through on a campaign pledge by introducing a moratorium on new oil and gas leasing on federal lands and waters. With nearly 25 percent of U.S. oil and gas production coming from federal lands, the policy shift may have significant implications for future investment and production. The backlash from oil and gas producing states will be fierce
How President Biden’s Executive Orders Impact The Oil Industry
The cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline permit. (Yes its not complete,but many argue it would have been within the year)
the administration also issued Secretarial Order No. 3395, which implemented a 60-day suspension of new oil and gas leasing and drilling permits for federal land and water.

Biden lifted Trump imposed sanctions on the Nord stream two gas pipeline that would further empower Russias strength.

There are still 9000 unused permits for drilling,but 60% of those sites are non-producing. After you lease the land you have to get permits for exploration to see if it is viable and another to actually drill. Permits etc

Biden recently banned oild imports from Russia.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/08/politics/russian-energy-import-ban/index.htmlBiden announces ban on Russian energy imports President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced his administration is banning Russian oil, natural gas and coal imports to the US in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a step he warned could lead to a spike in gas prices at home.
Biden is asking for oil from Venezuela and Saudis but not getting domestic or Canadian producers.

Saudi and UAE leaders refuse call with Biden to negotiate for oil over American policy in the Gulf region

There are lots of nuance to many of these pontso. However yhe sentiment I see from shills here that the president, "has no control over gas prices " is just plain wrong. He started signing executive orders on day one.
And if Biden is responsible for ending importing of Russian oil in protest over Ukraine it's stands to reason that he can also be responsible for finding other means of oil like the release of 30 million barrels from our reserve.

And also don't forget that Biden raised the government's value for the "social cost of carbon" from $7 to $52 per ton, which ripples through all American energy policy.
Biden has long been after sweeping climate change and energy reform policies towards renewable energies. Wind,solar,water etc. Running his election with promises to end fossil fuel dependence.
