Was this one of those super duper veto's that prevents the legislation from never ever ever being brought up again?
Not enough votes to override the veto and the bill expires with the session. Cicics 101 - we got boned.
Now that Congress is riddled with RINOs and Greenies, nothing has come close to passing in the time since. The Dems are actively working to ban drilling there - period. I guess-ti-mate the current north slope is good for a dozen more years - maybe. We are losing production at about 6 to 10% per year, you can do the math.
One has to ask who the heck these loons are actually working for - it sure as Cane ain’t for us.....
I am looking for a wood stove to supliment my heating. I would hate to freeze to death as an old man.
As for the grandkids, I suppose they can always migrate to where the work is at the time.
