Kenneth, he banned drilling in areas we aren't really drilling. It doesn't impact the places we're drilling now, and only covers places that experts agree are very low probability of having significant oil repositories anyway. He didn't ban all drilling, as you claim. It will have little to no affect on what we're doing now, and if down the road there is a need for drilling in the banned areas Congress can step in and make it happen. With all the insanity Trump is providing, you took the time to write about this tiny item?
