In a masterful strike against the eco-extremist agenda of the left, President Donald Trump, along with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, have opened Pandora's box of energy independence.

They have reversed the absurd ban imposed by Joe Biden, opening over 625 million acres for oil and gas drilling and exploration.

This move is nothing less than a declaration of war against progressives who want to see the United States on its knees.

In a ridiculous and cowardly maneuver at the end of his term, Biden intended to strangle our economy under the guise of “climate change.”

But Trump and Burgum have said "Enough!" to this attempt to turn the United States into a dependent and weak nation.

It's time for America to reclaim its energy greatness, reviving an industry that provides jobs for millions and ensures our sovereignty.

«I will not let the radical left dictate how we should live or how we should use our own resources. Let's drill, baby, drill. “America rises again.”

The energy industry and patriots across the country have applauded this decision.

This maneuver is a direct challenge to the green ideology of the left, showing we are not willing to surrender to environmental blackmail.

On social media, citizens have shown their support under the slogan: "Drill, baby, drill"

Embrace the suck, Jo Jo! Hope you’re having a great retirement. Americans are enjoying it. Your RAT party has morphed into the world’s largest freak show including Mad Maxine’s Handmaiden Lesbian Choir and Beetlejuice Conga line. A real bunch of clowns with their mental issues.

Is it true that the Gulf was renamed to Gulf of America because Biden’s order prohibited drilling in the Gulf of Mexico?

To me, the worst policy decision Biden made was killing the Keystone Pipeline. It immediately threw 11,000 workers out of a job and shut off the pathway for crude oil from the North Dakota oil fields to reach the refineries in the Mississippi Delta. He ignored the Water-Pebble Effect where one small act ripples through the entire economic system, from distillate fuels used to power tractors and grow food and more that output from the field to the table, plus pharmaceuticals, clothing, fertilizers, and just about everything else we need.

Trumps changes are another Water-Pebble event, but it will take time to wend its way through the system. Be patient, as the effect will be worthwhile and significant.

Maybe we can look at some of Cranston’s wilderness and undo that, too.

I keep waiting to hear that Keystone is back in business. It was almost finished.

By rights, the owners and investors should be compensated for their losses.

I read that the company that started it is so fed up with the federal bureaucracy, they said “screw it” and walked away. I think there are going to have to be some guarantees made before anyone risks picking up that mantle again.

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.
Ditto to the land resources.
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.

We need to build more refineries. Crude is good but you need to turn it into gasoline.

The newest refinery was built in 1969. Chevron Pascagoula, MS. If our country is to get any more refineries built, it will happen with President Trump.

Stopping the Keystone XL did create an economic ripple in a bad way. It also put a lot of union workers out of work. Refineries on the Gulf Coast were in the process of upgrading and expanding to handle the tar sands crude from Canada. Now those refineries have processing equipment that sits idle.

And those refineries had to cut costs to absorb those losses.

When the dims cancelled the pipeline, I think they knew what they were doing.

Wreck the economy then build back better. Except better wasn’t going to be better for us.
