we need to stop the oil industry
gonna need all that oil and gas to run the airconditioners of your economic betters for the forseeable future
Well yeah everyone was applauding that huge bill that mandated millions more acres of oil and gas extraction.
Meanwhile, the number of leased acres dropped sharply
Right, it was a 2022 bill, taking effect later.
It’s going to remain incredibly low:
The administration said oil and gas companies would be able to drill in just three new areas in the Gulf between 2024 and 2029, the smallest number of lease sales offered since the federal drilling program began decades ago.
I like how they use words like handful, and “just three areas”. Those “areas” comprise millions of acres each.
