President Trump wants to “Drill, baby! Drill.” And some want exploration expanded in the Gulf.

Tim Tarpley, who heads the Texas-based Energy Workforce and Technology Council, says additional oil leases in the Gulf would lead to tens of thousands of new jobs, adding billions to the nation’s economy.
