Rich, if I gave you a 55 gallon drum of crude oil, what would you do with it? Crude oil isn't very useful. Could you refine it into a usable product. If so, how? I think subsistence oil production isn't going to get you very far.

BTW, their is no national energy emergency. Domestic oil production is at an all time high and has been the last few years under that socialist president Biden. The Fuhrer is declaring an energy emergency so he can dispense with environmental protection because his energy lobby billionaire buddies might make more money that way. But they aren't going to make gas cheap at the pump; that would cut into profits.
