I never talk about current events and politics, but… Binky okaying offshore oil-drilling is perfectly useless as well as tone-deaf clueless after the summer we just had, between heat-dome heat-waves in the PNW and flash-floods in Europe. Bringing oil-platforms on line will not lower gas-prices today and will probably be a waste of investment;  by the time they are producing, we should start seeing the decline of ICE in favor of EV. Better to pack in tax incentives for union-produced EV right now if you want more good jobs this year over jobs which will probably disappear before they manifest next year and the year after that.

Rant over.
