      • because it would involve length court battles sucking resources for generations
      • It would be allowing some local government assholes a lot of power
      • It would put a shitton of oil beyond the US borders
      • There is zero way it would be done by a direct vote of the population including teenagers
      • It would leave everyone a lot poorer.
      • And it wouldn’t even achieve the goals everyone claims they want
