Yes, the leadership is, but sounds like some of the more moderate dems are open to it. Of course, Nancy and Harry might not let it even come to a vote. Exhibit 45746543 that the Democrat party is no longer the party of the working man.

There aren't enough sand castles in the world, you scream. Mom tells you to look out the back window and see all the vast expanse of sand out there waiting to have sand castles built on it, she tell you that you are right, the world does need more sandcastles, and encourages you to get out then and start building them. You fold your arms and pout.

you just made it complicated. you lost me on this one.

The point is that the oil companies already have permission to drill in vast expanses of oil fields that they haven't gotten to yet. It will take them decades to finish those wells. They don't need any more area to drill.

Ok, it makes sense now that I know the answer. The end of the day decreases my ability to decipher.

Please don't use the however many million acres under lease but undrilled argument as it's simply incorrect.

Yet the democrats in congress want to sue OPEC for not producing enough oil. Uh huh.

Because it won't come on line for years and the quantity of oil it will produce by comparison to the market is miniscule.
