I honestly believe they didn't think that trump was actually going to go through with a lot of it, and that 'he talks a lot of shit, and triggers the libs' and that's it.

I'm no expert and would love to be told if this is wrong, from what I've heard, oil companies won't be doing jack shit so I don't think you will need to worry about your tax dollars reimbursing them.
Oil is barely profitable for investment at the moment.
If it was they could invest into US oil in the permian basin where there is still billions of barrels to go. Drill baby drill, I belive they say.
Investment would be much more stable in the US because fuck knows what is going to happen in venuzula in the next year, let alone in the next administration. They would probably lose it all over again.
