    Primary reason I don’t understand the call for “drill baby drill”. We’ll end up with oil and needing to sell it for much cheaper than anticipated because the demand is low.

      Big manufacturing stands to benefit from this too.

      Lubrication and grease is a big fucking industry. Everyone needs it, from automobiles to machines binding beds together to bridges and, hell, everything, EV’s even. The cheaper oil is, the cheaper that gets, and I know I’d love to walk away from a $35 oil change.
