Administration (Again) Blames Oil Companies For Lack Of Drilling

Liberal income is derived from doing something, e.g. making, growing, producing a product, Libs are lawyers and politicians, who are parasites.

The Oil Companies are at fault.

They cannot convince this administration to give them permits to drill. /s

If oil companies are allergic to “busts” they can hardly be blamed.

Anyhow, I would not be at all surprised if the Rats wanted to amass “unused” leases into forever-sacrosanct parks and the like rather than deal them to parties who will promise to drill them even at a risk.
