“Obama Orders Review of Business-Stifling Regulations, But Admits the Review May Produce New Regulations”

When is enough, enough? When do we tell these asswipes we don't care what they say anymore?
It's time to tell them to go STRAIGHT TO HELL!
This article is not factually accurate. Exxon’s permit was up in 2008, and they applied for a 5 year extension, which would let them keep the lease without producing in the 5 years based on their intention to produce after that.
In early 2009, the MMS rejected their plan of production saying that Exxon failed to show specifics in their presentation of their production plan.
Now, in the past, those extensions have been given out pretty much at will, and the denial of the extension was right about the time of Obama’s inauguration, so you could say it was political, but there is no evidence to back that up.
This issue is just totally disgusting!
Exxon pays big time lease gambols; invests $300M, then finds potential revenue if it uses super-unproved drilling techniques; BP problems happen, dampening all deep water drilling, and curtailing all permitting:
and EXXON is told that it is going to lose it’s already paid for lease, because it wants to develop the uncharted technology carefully to ensure it’s not going to create environmental problems?
How F’ed up can this government be??
