The real trick the stupid juju cum slurper to "drill baby drill". You're asking them to take on greater levels of debt to drill faster than they are now, for the stated goal of them making less money per barrel. Dodge v Ford, as dumb and as gay as it is, outright prevents such a scenario. Oil companies are not going to increase production, they will simply pocket the difference.
