Very deceptive article on AP

FACT CHECK: More US drilling didn't drop gas price

It's the political cure-all for high gas prices: Drill here, drill now. But more U.S. drilling has not changed how deeply the gas pump drills into your wallet, math and history show.

Comment:

It is striking how these people want to stop something that they say doesn't make any difference.  Why not let drilling go forward if it doesn't make any difference?  If it really doesn't make any difference, it will be self evident, don't you think?  If you remove the barriers that the government sets up, nobody should drill if it really doesn't make any difference.

That claim was used to justify denial of drilling in ANWR and now on public lands.  It won't make any difference they say.  So, drop the ban and see what happens.  Wouldn't hurt to try would it?

What are they afraid of?

So making solar panels will make a difference?  Phooey.

You don't need a line by line debunking of this article to know it's false.  These people are trying to pull the wool over everybody's eyes.
