What are you taking about? He's full on on energy. He expand drilling in the US so oil companies can produce more oil, even though we already have a ton of oil in the US. Increase supply of something that is already abundant so that they can sell it at a lower cost at the pump. Genius!

Wait a minute! Why don't they increase the drilling, AND raise the price at the pump! That's more smarter
