    After the election it’ll still be record level drilling, just like there is now.

    The record will just be higher

      You say that like most Americans wouldn’t support doing literally anything that would lower gas prices. The problem is trying to make everyone happy.

      I mean, most people I know bring up gas prices before they bring up climate change, if at all. I try to remind these people that while the president/Congress can take actions to increase drilling there are many of us in the US that would prefer they didn’t.

      I usually then make it clear how obviously easy it is for me to say that as someone that works from home and isn’t as impacted by gas prices; context is always important.
