Donald Trump’s promise to “drill, baby, drill” probably won’t change much — least of all in Texas. Texas is producing so much natural gas right now companies are losing money.

1. Are they still laying natural gas distribution pipelines to new residential subdivisions?, or has that nonsense stopped yet?

2. Leaving regulation up to states has advantaged Texas producers. If Trump actually increased drilling and pipelines elsewhere, that would increase competition for Texas. Of course most likely Trump wouldn’t actually do anything.

4. Trump’s campaign is based in part on a blatant lie that Biden “shut down US oil production” and only he can bring it back to its former glory days when he was president.

   Unfortunately for him, the truth is that US oil and gas production have set new all time high records… under Biden. So now Trump is doubling down on the lie, hoping his followers are dumb enough to believe it and then planning to take credit for the Biden-era record production as his own should the public be stupid enough to elect him. Like he took credit for Obama’s strong economy when he first took office. It’s so transparent, yet millions are willing to believe anything this lying con man tells them.

5. Bleak, we need to be producing less and less. Shit off the federal lands and stop the flaring. Peak Oil is here too. Fuck these sadists in a death cult.

6. nteresting take on Trump’s energy policies. Do you think he’ll follow through on his promises?

7. There is so little federal land in Texas that changes in federal oil and gas leasing have no impact on the drilling and production of oil and gas from all the private acreage in Texas.

8. Someone for got to tell Dotard and the rest of the MAGAets that we have record oil production.
