The “drill baby drill” is not the sole purpose of the Trump administration to reach energy control, Home Secretary Doug Burgham said he was walking “four babies” in a conversation with Home Secretary Doug Burgham, Breitbart News director at policy event Wednesday.
Boyle said that most people are familiar with the phrase “drill baby drill,” but said there were no other three “babys” discussed and asked Bulgham to walk around how these concepts go.
“I'll start with the drill baby drill,” Burgham began. “If you have public and federal land, you need to request an auction by law, the federal government needs to hold an auction, and the federal government is needed so that people in the private sector can bid and say, 'Hey, there's an area that's entitled to bid for mineral development.' Nowadays, when we talk about oil and gas, let's say oil and gas. He said in the final two weeks of President Trump's first administration, “New Mexico pulled $900 million from lease sales.”
Burgham used some of his time as governor of North Dakota as an example of what they had experienced on this front.
“We filed a lawsuit for Biden's entire term of office because the federal government didn't hold a lease that was not required by law. This means that since Harry Truman made a quarterly lease sale, all presidents said, limping for two years, we need to take him to court. Sales and Biden decided they're breaking the law, with drilling rigs surrounding the old loyal ones.
“No, we remember again – 700 billion acres of federal land. That means that 7% of that is a national park. We can protect the acres. We can make a bigger park. We can do everything. And this can do both.
“On Baby Maps, geological surveys in the US are part of the interior. Their job is to map these vast resources onshore, offshore, and especially underground,” he said. Bulgham urged people to read the book “The Maps That Changed the World” and to tell the stories of aspiring geologists and cartographers in England, Scotland and Wales.
It has led to the UK century becoming a global force, and it serves as an example of why it is important for the US to return to mapping.
“The US Geological Survey (USGS) was created. I think that in many of these executive orders, and what we see in places of service and where we take others from the map, the courts would have gone beyond the law to fully extend beyond the original language of ancient law and create a massive national monument. It was what caused public lands and, in fact, USG to go out of business,” he said, stressing the importance of returning to the mapping business.
“We've killed our country's mining industry over the past 30 years so check out the number of university graduates. We have a program that's closed. And what have we done?
“I mean, they have export controls. And you take the top 20 minerals we need for national defense, technology, mobile phones. And we are almost entirely dependent on foreign sources, many China,” he said.
“So, baby maps, my baby mines, and our map maps, and the third one is Build Baby Build,” he said.
“We have to start building, we have to build generation, we have to build more base load power. We've got to get out of the intense bang between intermittent, unreliable, expensive, affordable, low-cost base loads.
