The Trump administration is putting more than 76 million acres of federal water up for lease in the largest offshore drilling initiative in American history.
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke announced the massive lease sale, slated for March 2018, on Tuesday morning, and said the move is a key component of the administration’s effort to tap U.S. energy reserves and reap the economic benefits that come along with them.

You do this and THEN there's the possibility of getting rid of this corn for your tank.
Get rid of the corn and there's an opening for these oil/gas companies.

"The 76.9 million-acre lease sale will include federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico, off the coasts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. The area up for lease is roughly the size of New Mexico, the Interior Department said."

They are blowing smoke up your rear. This lease sale 250 may be 76.9 million acres but lease sale 249 in Aug was 76 million acres.
Its always a problem when you get tech news from political websites.

Love it!!!
Go President Trump!!!
