All the government can do is grant oil leases, or not. After that all the decisions are made by the oil cos. for their own benefit. Our negotiators cannot attach conditions or retain any control over those leases.
After we grant a lease, we cannot command drilling. In fact, that is already demonstrated as the oil cos. allow existing grants to lie fallow. They just want to own control.
