So don't tell me the Dems give a damn about pollution and climate change as their policies make it worse (Keystone pipeline cancellation also being another prime example of causing more pollution).

Biden's admin approved almost a 1,000 more oil and natural gas permits in his first year than Trump's. It was a 34% increase in leases on public lands and yet the companies did nothing with the permits they chose not to drill and increase domestic production.

A governments job is to provide for their citizens so what should happen in this instance? You look for ways to increase oil flow.
