      I feel like at some point there will be so much banned that every government document is just going to be like caveman talk about how amazing petroleum and guns are

      Gas good and drill good so money good too. All is good if gas is gas. Oil and gas and drilling is great. Guns for army man. Make America great again.

      They could save a lot of ink by just saying the word pollution, but that’s not the point
