downsized?...not at all eliminated...just downsized in ways that those resources can be recycled instead of incinerated...since you won't read about it, I'll just have to repeat it each time you ask.
In the short term, we have the worst political situation this world has seen since WWII...we'll have to do what we can to see that Putin is replaced with someone we can "do business" with...hopefully, with the help of those who have lots of O&G...and perhaps with some additional production here from firms that already have permits to drill in over 9,000 locations.
btw, the EU uses ~2.3 MBbls/day from Russia...we produce ~12.8 MBbls/day...not sure we can, or should meet all their needs...but...Putin has to go, and choking off his O&G income is the best way to make that happen.
