In a rambling fundraising pitch to oil executives in Houston on Wednesday, former president Donald Trump promised them he would immediately approve their projects and expand drilling in a second term — just as he worked to expedite the controversial Dakota Access and Keystone XL pipelines soon after taking office in 2016.
That’s right… he told American voters the same thing . On day one Drill baby drill. That’s what America needs.. energy independence for U.S. not Iran or Russia and China like Biden’s doing…
"Drill baby drill" won't make America independent of the oil market; that's not how it works. Oil is sold on an international market, so no matter how much the US drills and sells, the price of oil is still whatever the market will bear, and the US oil companies will never give up their rights to sell to the highest bidders.
If you want energy independence, (and we already have it on most levels) we'll have to expand the use of wind, solar, hydro, nuclear and everything else where appropriate.
If we were drilling and actually processing our own oil at the levels we were with Trump than our reserve wouldn’t be so dangerously low. Leaving us vulnerable if we had a attack here on our soil, which isn’t so far out of reality with the borders being wide open. 1000s of unvetted Chinese migrants coming in, all men, and fit like they are military ready.. is Biden letting China build a army here, unwittingly. ? Sounds far fetched but not impossible.. at the very least we wouldn’t be paying more to fill it than Biden sold it for , just to gain a few votes for democrats in 2020
