OBAMA TO ENERGY PRODUCERS: DROP DEAD

Oh, well, if Hillary kills off what’s left of the coal industry, at least we still have a booming natural gas industry, creating lots of good-paying jobs and with a potential for significant exports to help with our miserable trade balance. Wait, what’s that?

U.S. Rejects Multi-Billion Dollar Jordan Cove Gas Export Plan

U.S. regulators rejected Veresen Inc.’s multibillion-dollar proposal to build a terminal in Oregon that would export as many as two tankers of natural gas a week. They also denied its plan to build a pipeline with Williams Partners LP to supply gas to the terminal.

Williams and Veresen failed to demonstrate that the pipeline’s benefits would outweigh the “adverse effects on landowners,” the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said Friday in an order denying authorization. And without a pipeline supplying gas, the Jordan Cove export terminal “can provide no benefit to the public to counterbalance” the impacts associated with its construction, the agency said.

You know, I’m starting to think the Obama Administration really doesn’t like old-fashioned hydrocarbon energy. And since when has the Federal government worried about “adverse effects on landowners”??

Well, at least the Obama Administration is going to carry through on allowing new offshore oil drilling. What’s that?

Obama Rejects New Atlantic Ocean Oil Drilling

The Obama administration will abandon its plan to allow new offshore oil drilling on the U.S. southeast coast, dealing a blow to petroleum companies that had hopes of tapping new reserves.

The Interior Department announced Tuesday that it will not auction off drilling rights for Atlantic Ocean waters off the coast of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.

You know, I’m starting to think the Obama Administration really doesn’t like . . . I think I’ll just let Autocorrect finish this thought.

Wealth is, at its most fundamental level, measured by how much energy you can command. The more energy you have access to the richer you are, individually, as a business, as a society.

This effort to make energy less available, less reliable, and more expensive is at a level of societal insanity comparable to that which overwhelmed the Xhosa in 1856 when the prophetess of doom, Nongqawuse, convinced them that salvation lay in destroying all their cattle and crops. It will not turn out well.

Turning our backs on cheap, plentiful energy from any source is just as bad a move.

Maybe he won’t have fuel for one of his junkets while crossing the Atlantic..

[Fai Mao]

The energy companies should tell Obama to go sit in the dark

[JudyinCanada]

It only makes sense when you accept the fact that Obama is an enemy of America.

[Tonytitan]

I wish Obama would say that to the mirror.

It’s a blog.. yet you post it in news?
Wow. One would think that would be obvious.

Says “Blog” right in the address.

cant do a dam thing about it till November EXCEPT call the senators and congressmen and tell them they are DEAD to us if they back a third party or pull anything at the convention.

take deep breath and ingest several aspirin tablets

[humblegunner]

No thanks.
I’m not the wanker posting blog garbage as news.

You go ahead and breathe however you wish.

[humblegunner]

Note that this blog material has been moved to the blog section.

Keep breathing.

[ptsal]

please do not forget to take the aspirin....
.... It just will not be the same here without the troll monitors... /sarc

[humblegunner]

Since this mess has been moved to the blog section, we’ll assume that you consider the Free Republic moderating staff to be trolls?

Please expand, explain, expound and make your grievance known, oh do.

So, do you spend hours on end going through articles on FR to ferret out signs of blog-pimpery? Sounds kind of obsessive to me.

[humblegunner]

Actually it’s pretty easy to detect if you know what to look for.
