The pollution argument is mute.
If Norway can extract oil from the pristine North Sea, so US can extract oil from the Gulf of America or California coast, without any hurt to the environment.

Biden, Clinton and Obama created these phony “National Monuments” of doubtful environmental value, just to ban mining and oil exploration.
I remember Clinton declared a monument that locked up uranium deposits. Of course Mrs Clinton later sold off our uranium to Russia, so it all worked out.
