Between releasing new climate commitments under the Paris Agreement and organizing an international Earth Day summit, it’s clear that President Joe Biden wants to reposition the U.S. as an international climate leader.

Morgan has estimated that Permian s Delaware Basin oil drillers now require oil prices of just ~$33/bbl to break even down from $40/bbl in 2019.
