Supports expanding domestic oil and gas supply

Lankford argued that increasing the supply of gas was needed to bring prices down. He criticized restrictions on building new pipelines and obtaining permits for federal lands and waters, saying they make it harder to increase supply. He said prices could fall to $4 or $3.50 as supply grows, but did not specify a policy or timeline for changing those restrictions.

Context: The source does not specify what changes Lankford supports to pipeline or federal-land permitting rules.

In their own words

The more the president puts restrictions on building new pipelines —  permits for new federal lands and waters —  the harder he makes it to be able to go get supply.
