I’ll note that the US is a net exporter of oil and of methane gas.
Since Americans can’t actually burn the additional extraction, this means more exports, and profits for the owners, rather than some kind of public benefit. So Americans reap all the consequent climate damage, but somebody else gets all the benefit.

Because of “energy emergency”, somehow means wind energy must be exterminated, and replaced with more expensive new FF plants. 4x more energy efficient EVs must also be curtailed, and lose their efficiency advantage through FF electricity plants.
Exporting more LNG also means making NG more expensive for Americans.
All of these actions are the opposite that would be taken if a real energy emergency existed.
