given the dems history wirh oil deregulating, and management it’s best they don’t do anything…we don’t need another Deepwater Horizen eventNot any president, moron.
A republican could let the oil companies go hog wild with deregulating oil drilling on the US property it controls...........
The U.S. has more than 24 million acres under lease to oil and gas companies onshore — close to half are not producing.
Before drilling can occur, the lease holder has to get a federal permit. At the end of 2021, there were 9,173 approved and available permits to drill on federal and Indian lands. Those permits include those issued under Biden and those still active from Trump’s administration and potentially before.
The US government only controls 10% of ALL oil company property.
Of course, teabaggers aren't concerned with the other 90% the US government doesn't control.
