I mean. It's the only answer. You cant see the dominos start to fall like they have this year and decide "let's pump more oil and maybe some Conservatives will vote for me over trump". It's too late and it was too late 10 years ago. This isn't just a US problem. This is global societal breakdown in the next 10 - 20 years.

of course you can. the demand for oil/gas will be there regardless, people aren't all going to stop driving ICE cars just because Biden cut all US oil production. it's political suicide, not just for Biden but for US environmental policy in general.
