Apparently even after all blunders, there are still things that administration can do, but does not:
1) Biden.. dangled the possibility of at least temporarily waiving the Jones Act, . that says only American-flagged ships can carry fuel and other goods between U.S. ports. The industry would likely jump at that, but there’s doubt that the administration could overcome union opposition to doing so
2) Industry ..requesting faster permitting times for pipelines and easier access to public lands for drilling — .. administration is unlikely to acquiesce. In fact, the Interior Department in January is expected to propose new rules that would raise the royalty rates companies pay to produce oil on federal land.
