  1. Lololololol. Depleted fields with rising extraction costs are not gonna secure jobs, revenues and energy independence.

    But it sure triggers that sweet memory of our twenties, when we still got hard. At least in the morning.

  2. Trump: Drill Baby Drill

    Reform: Sounds like a good idea!

    Policy has no clear benefits except for the politicians receiving backhanders and the corporation’s profiting of the oil.

    People need to fucking read the met office climate questions page and research the issues until they understand them before they choose to follow anyone that says climate change is a lie because at that point they are willfully participating in what will eventually kill millions or billions of people.

  3. there is no energy independence the companies sell the oil on the world market,we then buy like all the other countries no priority no favors

  4. To be fair, everyone will slag it cause it Reform but it’s a good idea to keep drilling.

    Would be stupid to give it up and export what we need to use instead.

  5. Reform promises to copy maga and fuck everything up, vote for us!
