So much for the Department of Energy... which was created when Carter was POTUS and was supposed to wean America away from dependence on foreign energy sources.

One of Jummuh Carter’s many failures. For those of you not old enough to remember the Carter administration, you’re about to experience his second term.

Yes, the Obama-Salazar energy plan is working out exactly the way it was supposed to. Next, the Middle East erupts in flames and energy prices in this country continue on their way through the roof. We are reduced to Third World living standards, and Obama will be happy with what he has accomplished.

Obviously, the Energy Dept. is a total failure and should be defunded and shut down. The energy situation in the US has never been worse, and this time it’s come when the economy is on its knees. No use sending good money after bad into this worthless bureaucrat pit.

If Stupid would just hold a press conference and say: “As of today, the ban on off-shore drilling is lifted. In addition, the time lag between filing an oil lease petition and the granting of that petition will be a maximum of 30 days. Have a nice day.”

If he did that, the spot price of oil would drop below $70/bbl.

Obama’s real plan for America is working, and all too well.

If I were President I would order the oil companies to drill where they have leases or the Government would cancel their lease’s and drill.

I see nothing wrong with a government deeply in debt as we are to start drilling on it’s own and using that oil to pay back the debt.As long as it went to pay down the debt and not fill the pockets of crooked politicians and their cronies.

Did the administration not put out a statement the other day that domestic oil production has in fact risen?? The pertinent House committee needs to haul them before congress to explain how oil production has increased. The average american family is struggling to pay for all the ideological games and experiments they are playing.

I expect it to get worse. There are countries than produce crude oil, but can’t even refine domestic gasoline. I can see that happening here.
