Serious question now, but what could a Republican controlled House and Senate actually do to fix the issue?
End the war on O&G and let the industry pull the country out of a recession again.
I would agree end war on o&g, but won't Biden be able to prevent that?
You could end the current battle. The war on O&G is ideological and not practical. The kind of systemic reassurance those companies need to make the right investments isn't going to happen by just recapturing Congress in a single session.
I think a bloodbath in November with exit polls showing most people hate gas prices and inflation will help with that a bit.
Relatively short term investments in O&G would go a long ways, and could be profitable in 6 years. It will take much longer than that to get to where we were during 2018, but some reassurance for the mid-terms would really help.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms … disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
--Thomas Jefferson
