        @stubbornella It's an especially disingenuous question as we 1) are the top global producer of oil, 2) export a ton of that oil (8.51m barrels/day according to the EIC), and 3) have tens of millions of acres of land already leased for oil development that is currently unused.

      @stubbornella To be clear, like you I'm 100% in favor of getting off of oil altogether. I bring those details up because I find a lot of the rhetoric from politicians and industry to be incredibly disingenuous. I wish more folks called them out on the reality of the current state of things.

    @stubbornella It’s very similar to the “how are we gonna pay for that?” mentality of folks toward policies that would benefit every person in the U.S., but who never met a defense budget they wouldn’t approve (or increase, unprompted).
