I have to disagree with that, both the premise that they would and the result.
It would simply take so much supply away that prices would go crazy.
Is that what you mean by "destroy the market"? Because if prices "go crazy" the oil companies make bank and the reduced production doesn't matter, to them anyway. In addition, this would push EV and renewables adoption pretty hard and since those are now extremely viable alternatives, cutting production to raise prices, as OPEC has done for decades, would not have the effect it used to.
We're a net exporter of oil now - 10.15 million bbl per day vs 8.51 imported. And now only 16% of that comes from OPEC countries vs 52% from Canada. tl;dr OPEC has nowhere near the influence on our oil prices it once had.
Won’t this just get the orange to push even more for drilling and further harm the environment and climate?
It's up to the oil companies whether they drill more and they don't want to because it would cause prices to go down.

in no small part because of republican efforts to demonise her
Actually no, it isn't. It's because she's a fucking virulently anti-progressive neo-con. She has done some good in combatting Republican BS and I respect her abilities as a slimy politician in the same way I'd respect an skilled pick pocket, but this has nothing to do with Republicans.
Have they come to talk with you again?
