“We would have been now having so much money coming out of the energy,” he said. “We just had the best. We have Bagram in Alaska, they say it might be bigger than all of Saudi Arabia.”
Bagram is an air base the United States abandoned during its withdrawal from Afghanistan.
. . . Contrary to Trump’s remarks, the oil potential of ANWR is far less than that of Saudi Arabia.
Plus.. how is private companies extra ting and selling the oil make the us bank. Do they get equity in the projects, or do they just sell off the drilling rights and hope for taxes.
It's kind of sad that I already envision the Trump-acolyte/Fox News spin on this:
Trump expertly realizes the potential for Alaska to bring America the wealth and prosperity the likes seen in Middle East oil country, while simultaneously slamming Biden for his disastrous and cowardly military withdrawal. What an artful genius!
