I would love if no drilling occurred…ever. That’s me being purely idealistic. The pragmatic side of me also recognizes it’s still going to be necessary for a while, so I guess a question I’m on the fence about is would we rather get it from national sources or keep relying on countries like Saudi Arabia? I don’t mean to make it a false dichotomy cuz I have extremely surface level exposure to the topic but if anyone’s got some thoughts on it I’d love to hear
One other thing I thought about, and this is purely out of ignorance and not me trying to say you’re straight up wrong here… Wasn’t the pledge not to issue new permits?
Right but it is happening on federal lands.
