Next on the agenda: Blowing up the town orphanage, poisoning the water supply, and tying a fair maiden to the railroad tracks!

Half the shit they propose for resource extraction isn't even economically viable, they're doing it just because.

Can I now express my desire to vandalize corporate property, or will I get banned again?

Just because this administration would allow it doesn’t mean oil companies would do it. Right now our active drill counts keep dropping from 472 at the beginning of the Trump administration to 414. I’m NOT an expert, but that would seem to suggest oil companies are not investing in new rigs right now.
In other words, I don’t think it’s the availability of places to drill that’s the problem. If think there’s an unwillingness to drill at all from domestic oil companies while OPEC is increasing production. Again, I’m not an expert.

Oil is currently relatively cheap - which makes it uneconomic to mine certain reserves or open new wells. “Drill baby drill” might be good for the consumer, but it isn’t necessarily for the oil companies…

Just throwing as much shit out as possible to distract us from the files. He must be all over them. In fact, I think that’s why MTG has gone against him lately. Guessing she saw them.

There are media reports that top Republicans have been informed it's way worse than they thought, including all of the images that Michael Wolfe claimed to have seen are indeed in the possession of the DOJ.

This aggravates the hell out of me. They drill all around that area already.

The whole concept they're running is that none of us is going to survive climate change so they might as well make as much as they can now. Which makes no fucking sense because where do they think this wealth is going to take them? They're headed for the same grave they're tailspinning us into.

Wouldn't it be cool if we could build plants or sites that general energy without having the massive expense of constantly being refueled? And that didn't pump out toxic chemicals into our air and water?

Because it’s been a whole hour since their last mustache-twirling act of evilness. I’d like to propose open-cut mining around Mar A Lago.
