    That’s an interesting claim considering that US oil production has rapidly increased in the last 10ish years. Like, I hope he’s not full of shit, but the numbers I can find suggest were actually producing the most oil we’ve ever produced right now.

    Like it’s nice that he’s saying that and all, but I hope my skepticism can be forgiven until the US government, like, actually does something to reduce oil production. I hope he’s right, but right now congress can’t even pass a fucking budget, much less create sweeping, radical anti-oil-production legislature.
