National park land too, probably.

I think it takes a strange sort of mentality to be a person who likes to shit in their own living room, but hey, what do I know. Some people are into that kind of thing.

Yeah, Trump is a real trip. But what I wonder about is the mentality of the electorate that managed to get him in office. What exactly has happened to this country that we don't care that he is letting us destroy the environment?

Next he'll take the safety regs off the nuclear industry and let them self regulate.

Whose environment should be destroyed in order to get the oil that we need?

What percentage of the electorate are Rapture-bunnies who think they're going to be teleported to Heaven?

Those folks actually _want_ America to collapse. Steve Bannon and Trump have said as much.

It'll make Jesus come back or the Great White State happen all the faster. If millions die in the process - fantastic!

What a pack of looney-tunes.

Nobody's, you don't "need" 500 billion barrels of oil to have a happy life, stop buying so much dumb crap idiot

Wasn't there a Stephen King film starring John Voight to that effect a few decades ago?

The electorate or the elected, or both?

So if we need a hundred million barrels per day isn't it a good thing to find new sources of oil

I assume you don't use any fossil fuels, or electricity from same, in your personal life.

The critters in the Gulf love oil. They have been snacking on seeps for a million years or something. If we spill it, they eat it.

Yes. It improves our balance of payments and national security. And it lowers the world price of energy and food, which is a kindness to the poorest people.

Of course it is entirely possible to squander any such unearned wealth, rather than invest it in the future. The UK did that with North Sea oil, in contradistinction to the Norwegians :(

THAT's a straw man!

Yeah, animals just can't get enough of the stuff.

And all those guys around me driving Big Trucks... lotsa chrome up front seems to be important. :^)

Seriously, I hate that energy policy divides down party lines... that makes no sense. I like fracking and such for gas and oil, coal is a dirty fuel.

Every American could drive their SUV to the junkyard tomorrow and write the Saudis off forever. There's your security.

Sounds a lot like "we" want to live "the lifestyle to which we have become accustomed" with no changes whatsoever, and if the rest of the world refuses to accommodate it, well, rip up the Gulf and the national parks to see if we can eek out whatever's left here.

Talk about entitlement.

What is cleaner about gas and oil than coal?

I remember back when the US was giving rebates for trading in your Belchfire 2000s. Some friends wanted to trade their Suburban (which was on the list of allowed trade ins at the highest category) for a double cab pickup. Just before they were going to sign they were told the rebate would not apply because they weren't trading down! There goes some several thousand dollars... They bought the truck anyway.
