Congress gives crying public a pacifier ......film at 11 is my first thought yet I pray more oil drilling is a solution . Your past comments and experience comes too mind here making me think this is just a sugar tit for those of us having a fit !

If congress limited energy exports to 10% or less from the CONUS or it’s territorial waters would that be a quicker fix ?

Ask how many years the permits have been held up for building the pipelines into the NPRA? They are adding to the leases already sold, will they finally approve the permits?

I was on the design team for the first Wellpad Production Facility to be built in NPRA by ConocoPhillips years ago. Construction for it is still not approved.

Not according to what I heard cited today. Our total energy exports amount to 1/2 day of usage and are directly solely to a U.S. territory...Puerto Rico.

The 10% of the SPR that Pelosi is squawking about amounts to only 3 days usage. Little help on driving prices down, but a significant hit to a crucial military resource. That is really what Pelosi wants. Hurt the military while, give the appearance of "doing something" while accomplishing nothing.

The quickest fix would be to gut the EPA, since that's the cause of much of the crazyness

We have to export high-sulfur oil to places that are able to consume it, and then import low-sulfur oil from halfway around the world.

You remember when diesel used to be cheaper than regular, and now it's more expensive than premium? Look at the sticker on the diesel pump. They can now only sell low-sulfur diesel
