    USAmericans have a religious attachment to fossil fuels that I can’t understand. “Drill baby drill” isn’t even economically viable and yet has become a call to prayer for many US politicians.

      It’s rich people who want to keep being rich without risking going into a different thing.

      Please stop attributing it to everyone, it’s really annoying

        Who is voting for them and why do they win elections if there isn’t a substantial of people who support the idea? “Drill baby drill” isn’t a secret, it is what Republicans have been running on for over a decade.

          Just slightly more people (who bother to vote) than who don’t. Doesn’t make it 100%, it’s not rocket science.

      Many USAmericans are pessimistic because we were finally taking a medium sized step in the right direction, and somehow half the country thinks that’s a bad thing
