As a response to me, this is lazy. Others should see the irony in your closing ...
Ironic with Manchin in the news.
Now that we've agreed the 9000 number was a smoke screen and you've estimated 4000 approved permits aren't being used ... Confucius is still scratching his head.
You're wanting them to drill in your home state...those approved permits, right? But you're arguing against using the natural resources available because we're destroying your home state/planet?
Earlier you mentioned not defending the administrations policies. For a second, let's defend O&G, assuming the role of one of their execs.
The administration has promised the American people they will shut down my industry but also wants me to invest money in the industry they've promised to shut down.
Common sense has entered the chat calling bullshit.
You can think itās lazy, but thatās basically what you and several people in this comment section are doing, no matter what Biden or any other democrat does or says youāre going to disagree & everything the right says or does is going to be right, so itās basically Biden bad, repubs good. As for the āsee the irony in your closingā- anybody that believes Boebert is intelligent doesnāt have the slightest idea what intelligence even means, so their opinion of me or my intelligence means absolutely nothing to me
Iām not going to keep going back and forth on the permits, the info is widely available as to how many unused permits there are other than to say when Velveeta Voldemort was in office there were thousands of unused permits whatās the excuse for that? His restrictive stance on O&G?
Iām not arguing against anything with natural resources, Iām saying my home state isnāt drilling and it isnāt because of some restrictive Biden policy, they could drill on state lands, but theyāre not. As for my arguing against natural resources because of the environment, the rightās motto has been ādrill baby drillā, letās drill every inch of the planet, thatās not sustainable and an effective energy policy should include fossil fuels (because we canāt just quit those cold Turkey) and other energy means.
As for your O&G exec I would say you made record profits for two years in a row, so do what ConocoPhillips is doing and invest in renewable energy and O&G instead of fattening your pockets, you and I both know the President isnāt going to ādestroyā your industry, so use some common sense.
