[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5437213, member: 24302"] And those subsidies were mostly reinstated after the industry lobbied Congress. To eliminate the subsidies requires legislation and such efforts have been stalled in Congress. A Democratic Congress by the way. We're told that there are 9000 Federal leases available to the oil industry to use. There are over 37000 active leases available and 76% of them are being used, a record. Many of those 9000 are in litigation by environmental groups to prevent their usage. And Biden has ordered that before any lease can be newly used it must undergo a study that can take years. And he's put a hold on any new drilling on any Federal land and offshore. I can quote what he has said about ending the oil and gas industry if anyone wants to see it. The oil industry is under attack by this administration with the clear aim to end it and if that causes the consumer pain they don't care except before elections. If this administration is serious about helping average Americans they'd go back to what was before. They aren't. [USER=58386]@bacha29[/USER] [/QUOTE]
