WASHINGTON (AP) - A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the Bush administration did not properly study the environmental impact of expanding oil and gas drilling off the Alaska coast and canceled a program to find new reserves.
A three-judge panel in Washington found that the Bush-era Interior Department failed to consider the effect on the environment and marine life before it began the process in August 2005 to expand an oil and gas leasing program in the Beaufort, Bering, and Chukchi seas.
The appeals court ordered the department, now run by President Barack Obama's appointee Ken Salazar, to analyze the areas to determine environmental risks and potential damage before moving ahead with the program.

These are the guys to hold personally responsible next time gas goes over $4 a gallon.
Lest we forget, all it took to break the back of the upward gas price spiral last summer was for our last American President to announce that there would be drilling.
I predict an upward trend, starting today.
bump
Whatdyano more scummy lawyers at work.The hell with what the people want.
The world is just to small for me and liberals...so the libs must go!
But of course. Everybody knows the objective of the left is to see gas go to $8 a gallon, thus effectively legislating travel out of existence.
Just add that to all the other calamities the libs have given us.
Is this what the Founding Fathers intended? That judges decide the policies of the nation?
“thus effectively legislating travel out of existence.”
Bingo!....The only way you’ll get to visit Grand Teton national park or Yellowstone is on Obama’s Tooterville Trolley national railroad!....
Why are we letting these cowards do this?
No GOP membership card.... no gas. Ride your bike, leftie!!!
Is this what the Founding Fathers intended? That judges decide the policies of the nation?
The Founding Fathers would never understand how the whack left has perverted everything today. Activist judges, Pelosi, Reid and now Obama and his socialist ilk would shock them for sure!
Since they do not want to drill for gas and oil then the electricity to their office and homes should be stopped. And they should not be allowed to drive cars.
A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the Bush administration did not properly study the environmental impact of expanding oil and gas drilling off the Alaska coast and canceled a program to find new reserves.Gee, where's that in the Constitution?
Enjoy your $6/gallon gas, you black-robed pieces of crap!
This goes way beyond liberalism, socialism or communism. Even Russia, China and Cuba have sense enough to drill for oil off their coast and even ours. Chalk it up to lunacy.
Pretty obvious that the Greens intend to shut down the American energy companies. Except for the ethenol makers. With all the grains devoted to it, that even makes its hard to keep a horse. But then I guess, too many horses give off gas.
Well, it is lunacy. These people live in a magical world where electricity keeps flow absent any generation of it.

I breed and raise horses.
Have 6.
Prices of Hay have gone up 50% per year for past 3 years, mostly due to ethanol and the acreage switched to corn.
Earth First! and like groups have worked for years to put this country into a position that will let them dictate how many people have to be eliminated—and who will be eliminated.
Good to know
These people are crazy. They seem to have them imagine of us living more or less like Hobbits, with the population reduced to a few hundred thousand people. Primitivism gone made. Regarding horses, after the opening of the great Plains, the numbers of horses in the USA increased exponentially, as people in the towns—ordinary families—acquired them. That soon presented a great sanitary problem , as you know, ironically when cars were introduced, they were sold as solutions to that problem. But, yes, you are right on the button. These people don’t like people.

These lunatics won’t be happy until we live in mud huts and walk to work!
What work? Making rugs?
Most work runs on energy.
Whack left speaks with forked tongue and hears with strainer ears.
Start the impeachment process now!
Judicial tyranny must be stopped.
I’m serious.
Environmental risk, what is that? Rabbits v. wolves?
The entire earthly environment is one long risk to something or other.
Absurd, more tyrants in black.
Ah, sweet payback for all those internet donations.
I lived in kalifornistan till a few years ago. The left wing fascists were trying to get Yosemite closed off to all but bicycle and foot traffic.
The left's true goal is to create an unbathed utopia for themselves and to eliminate everybody else. Truly disgusting excuses for humans, they are.
No kidding! Was this editorializing by the author of the piece or what?
and humanity doesn't count?
shaking my head in disgust...
wombtotomb has an excellent video on this that you might care to see.
.As per your request patton, wombtotomb has posted video! Thanks for the heads up!!
The video is a description of the 5 supposed forms of government, from 100% government control (Communism, facism, totalitarianism etc) to 0% government (anarchy) it obliteraties all forms of government as only temporary and futile except for 2, olgiarchy and republic. It does this in a clear concise manner, which effectively shows even a grade schooler about them. It then, in the last few moments, explains Rome, its beginning as a republic, and its morph into a democracy. The parallels are well put, and clearly where this country is today. It is an excellent way to spread the word to those who have never been taught proper history, and that is alot of people since they have been re writing it for so long now.
I have been posting this sucker all over all day, and sometimes I forget that some are stuck at work, so I have included the above basic description of the video, however it does not do the video justice. I beg, implore and urge all to view it who have not. THIS is the reason we are so angry. Taxes are a symptom, losing our republic is the disease!!!!!
