If it were easier to drill baby drill we'd be drill baby drilling. We already produce more fossil fuels than any country on earth now or ever. Even so..the vast majority of us leases and rigs are idle because it doesn't make financial sense to run them. There is no domestic market for the product. What they've been doing is abandoning wells and leases and selling off assets in an attempt to avoid the costs of cleanup.
They're sitting on a glut of product, looking at that glut getting even bigger as alternatives capture market share, and all of this shit they sell to the fauxpulist base about oil companies drilling trickling down on the poors is utter horseshit. They want assurances that the us and our allies will be legally compelled to purchase their unwanted products. Call it national security. Call it making america great again. Call it building back better. Call it climate change mitigation..ffs...and they do. Whatever they have to say to get the thing they refuse to say..they're gonna say it.
Meanwhile, they have allies in all sorts of other robber barron and reich wing culture warrior camps. People who see this not as any imaginary benefit to the public, or solution to a non existent crisis of available leases..but as a way to destroy this or that federal agency from within.
