What is the efficacy of "drill, baby, drill".................

[berg80]

Look at California as the price of fuel skyrockets above $5.00/gal and the rest of the U.S., Hawaii excluded see's lower and lower fuel costs.

CA has higher emissions standards and thus different refining requirements making gas there more expensive.

LOL. If ANWR is pristine, but no one sees it, does it matter?

Every location is pristine before you drill you moron.

<~~~~~~>​

Indeed!... The U.S. oil and gas industry has made significant advancements in drilling techniques that minimize environmental impact. These methods focus on reducing land use, emissions, and waste generation.
U.S. petroleum drilling techniques have advanced to include low-impact technologies that reduce the environmental footprint, such as directional drilling and the use of biodegradable drilling fluids. These methods minimize land use, protect local wildlife, and lower harmful emissions, contributing to more sustainable oil and gas production.

And you don't think some areas should be restricted from drilling, dipshit?

Not only has the State of California banned drilling, it's environmental regulation restrict and ban building new refineries and refuse existing refineries to expand or allow refurbishing/repairing refineries after fires.
A race is on among energy companies to build a major fuel pipeline to the U.S. West Coast, a potentially lucrative prize as the planned closure of two California refineries threatens to send gasoline prices in the isolated market soaring.
Motorists in West Coast states have long paid some of the country's highest fuel prices due to limited regional production and minimal connectivity to the Gulf Coast refining hub. There are no pipelines delivering fuel to California from across the Rocky Mountains and only a few pipelines deliver to the West Coast from the Gulf Coast, according to the Energy Information Administration.

Which is partly why..........

AI Overview

California is not proposing a ban on combustion engines for existing cars, but rather has a regulation to phase out the sale of new combustion engine vehicles by 2035, which includes a 2035 target for all new passenger cars and light trucks sold to be zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) like electric or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. This plan is being reconsidered for its 2035 timeline, though the executive order and regulations are still in place.

.........the other primary reason being air pollution.

My understanding is that only a very small area of ANWR will be disturbed, the 1002 Area, see map.
You can see the "Wilderness Area", and the 1002 exploration area.

Biden suppressed oil production keeping it below demand to drive up the cost. The goal was to force is to all buy EV cars.

That's how awesome Dem policies are, Dems have to PUNISH people into complying. OBEY Democrats or be PUNISHED and FINED!

Is it or is it not pristine?

Christ how dumb are you left wingers??? Look stupid, in the next ice age it will be covered in glaciers a mile thick and ground down to bedrock.

Trump administration finalizes plan to open pristine Alaska wildlife refuge to oil and gas drilling​

JUNEAU, Alaska — The Trump administration on Thursday finalized plans to open the coastal plain of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to potential oil and gas drilling, renewing a long-simmering debate over whether to drill in one of the nation's environmental jewels.

U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum announced the decision Thursday that paves the way for future lease sales within the refuge's 1.5 million-acre ( 631,309 hectare) coastal plain, an area that's considered sacred by the Indigenous Gwich'in. The plan fulfills pledges made by President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans to reopen this portion of the refuge to possible development. Trump's bill of tax breaks and spending cuts, passed during the summer, called for at least four lease sales within the refuge over a 10-year period.

.................when supply is already exceeding demand?

Oil Could Fall to the $30s—Unless Someone Turns Off the Taps​

Oil companies are pumping out crude at a record rate, and demand can’t keep up. That dynamic could continue through 2027, according to JP Morgan strategist Natasha Kaneva. And if it does, oil prices could fall into the $30s per barrel by the end of 2027, about half of what they are worth today. Below $40, few U.S. projects would be profitable.

U.S. Oil Companies Are ‘Battening Down the Hatches’​

The industry is bracing for the OPEC Plus oil cartel’s meeting on Saturday, which is widely expected to further increase oil production despite weak demand.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/business/energy-environment/oil-companies-production-prices-opec.html

There is a very basic economic principle at play here. When demand decreases, or supply exceeds demand, suppliers cut back on production to stabilize the price of what they are producing. So why open the pristine arctic refuge for drilling when oil producers are cutting back production on existing oil fields?

Efficacy refers to how well a treatment works under ideal conditions, such as in controlled clinical trials, while effectiveness measures how well it works in real-world situations. Essentially, efficacy is about the potential benefits in a perfect setting, whereas effectiveness considers actual outcomes in everyday practice.
Efficacy Costs:
Efficacy costs refer to the expenses associated with achieving a specific outcome or effect, often in the context of health interventions or treatments. These costs are typically analyzed in relation to the benefits gained, such as improvements in health or quality of life.

I though that too. I think the word he should have used instead of "efficacy" in the title is "effect".
Unless you look at "drill baby, drill" as the cure for high energy prices??

I already said that. See post #6

You also said it was all already in production, Short Bus.

KKKalifornia also has the highest gas tax in the country at 70.92 cents per gallon.

Do you think a drilling site is a toxic waste dump? Our oil industry us the most regulated there is.

Why disturb it at all with oil producers cutting back on production due to an over supply?

And as I said when implemented and the articles alludes to, it's never going to happen.

Political grandstanding.
