Regulations handcuff drilling and refining.
Stop that and TX does fine.

Could you please spell out the specifics of how E&P is handcuffed in Texas?

As for me, I live in Texas and have worked in the oil field for more than 20 years and the only handcuffs on drilling in Texas is the low price of oil.

Now, if you would like for us to drill more in Texas, you must also like me want to see oil priced at more than $100.00 a barrel.
