Democrats shut down energy and debate on it

Wall Street Journal Editorial:

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and other liberal leaders on Capitol Hill are gripped by cold-sweat terror. If they permit a vote on offshore drilling, they know they will lose when Blue Dogs and oil-patch Democrats defect to the GOP position of increasing domestic energy production. So the last failsafe is to shut down Congress.

...

The Democratic leadership is trying to smother any awareness of their responsibility for high prices. They are also trying to quash a revolt among Democrats who realize that the country is still dependent on fossil fuels, no matter how loudly quasimystical environmentalists like Al Gore claim otherwise.
The Democrats seem content to give this issue to the Republicans this year. It is a huge gamble that they deserve to lose. A large majority of the voters support the Republican position on this issue and they will have to vote against their own self interest to continue supporting the no energy Democrats.

The Democrat position on energy is so irrational they can't even argue it in public, but they cannot shut down the debate in the country.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
