Lolol bruh i could care less about unenforced EPA "regulations". I said "probably.. more likely" as a counterpoint and a joke really. Why don't you research the personal conflicts of interest for my point first that I was talking about before you go all "dO yOuR rEsEaRcH"?
Ya'know what ill help you out since you didnt provide any burden of proof like an arguer SHOULD do.
Bush administration unveiled a controversial National Energy Plan, which consisted chiefly of $33 billion in public subsidies and tax cuts for the oil, coal, and nuclear power industries, as well as provisions to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for industrial oil drilling.
Ofc they're both guilty, they are the establishment and two sides of the same coin. Doesn't mean one can't have more vested interest potentially. Also lol what EPA rules did Bush even try to pass tho? Besides opening the Arctic for drilling primarily.
