Trump has said he plans to bring down gas prices by boosting US oil production. ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods said he didn't see a US oil boom in the near future. One energy analyst said a US president has little control over the oil and gas market. President-elect Donald Trump's promise to unleash a big oil boom in the US and lower gas prices is running up against a market reality: The world is already awash in fossil fuels. Why would an oil company want to sell more of an exhaustible resource for less money???????????????
