Which discoveries do you refer? I agree that we have lots of oil and natural gas. However, the left has been very successful in restricting development. I hope that other countries will explore and develop oil supplies because the left is determined to stop development in this country.

I see expensive energy followed by shortages for this country. The mandates for renewables will drive industrial energy rates very high. Despite commercial interest in nuclear power, the left will strangle development with legislation and litigation. To control prices, price controls will be used leading to shortages.

What did the Russians do to Royal Dutch Shell at Sakhalin Island? I’ll bet you don’t know off the top of your head

That’s how the oil game is really played by anyone with an IQ

I don’t believe “the left” is the only hindrance to exploitation, but some of our resources are too difficult to extract and process.

Our true deficit, as I understand, is in refineries...we need more.
