    What we’ve got right now is a carrots-only policy.

    Getting to where we need to be means winning a whole lot more seats in congress so that we don’t have legal requirements to auction off drilling leases and treat existing leases as a property right guaranteeing the right to drill.

      I wish it was that simple, but I am living in Canada and currently we have a left leaning minority government who formed a coalition with an even more left leaning government and they both keep saying they want to help the climate crisis but they both keep letting companies log old growth forests or start new oil drilling operations. The problem isn’t which politicians we have it’s the fact that the politicians are in big oils pockets regardless, just some more than others.

      I know I’m complaining a lot, and no I don’t have any solutions, I wish I did.
