“FYI, this ‘controversial’ testing method is called ‘seismic testing.’ It is a method that the oil and gas industry uses in order to map underground geologic strata in an attempt to determine whether or not the various layers of rock contain hydrocarbons. To be clear, this ‘controversial’ testing method has been used by the U.S. industry since 1921, and use of it in the Gulf of Mexico has been approved by every U.S. President since Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
“This story is just one of a million examples of how leftwing fake ‘journalists’ fake the news they deliver to the American public.
“Despicable hacks.”

It is controversial in the sense that looking for oil when it will be phased out by the Harris Administration is just cray-cray.
