Granholm told “Fox News Sunday” host Trace Gallagher the U.S. will be producing around 12.7 million barrels per day by 2023, up from the current rate of less than 12 million barrels per day.
“This is all about supply and demand. When Russia invaded Ukraine, that pulled millions of barrels off of the global market,” she said. “Since oil is traded globally, we have to make up for that lost amount of fuel.”
