When otherwise intelligent people do what looks like stupid
things. There is a hidden agenda. The only thing I can
figure, there are a lot of elected reps who are really
socialists. Like you say, with the tree huggers, we're not
permitted to drill our own oil, if it involves drilling,
over land, or over water.

Yes, the rag-heads were pitching a tantrum, they took their
oil
and went home. This went on during 73-74 if I remember right
and after almost four decades we don't have oil
independence?
There are a number of reasons why (I can't name them all)
but
some of them have to do with interference by tree huggers
and
a lot of onerous regulations by government plus prohibitions
against drilling for oil in a lot of places. We have the oil
in our own territory but can't get to it. Asinine government
policies and actions by complete morons continue to this
day.
Your chosen deity only knows why.
