Very simply because they have staked their power on a left-wing lunatic fringe that would have us all living in caves again instead of burning any king of fuel no matter what it is.
Simple, because they give about the same the amount of money to Republicans, unlike the unions and the enviro-scum.
Maybe we’re better off now because we didn’t exploit all of our reserves forty years ago. Compared to several years from now, oil might be relatively cheap right now.
Because if the US were to drill our own oil, our strength as a world power would be unquestionable. AS long as the US remains strong, a Single World government is impossible.
They are stupid enough to believe they want their freedom taken away.
The DC plan is to hold all our minerals/oil/coal in reserve so when we can no longer get regimes around the world to finance our debt we can start selling America and her natural resources.
DC should be shut down.
Back in the 70’s, the EPA started listening to all these enviro-weenies start crying and simpering that we were destroying the Earth with our ‘pollution’. In the 80’s, they focused on the “wasting of our natural resources”.
The Dim base is chock full of enviro-weenies who cry at the drop of a hat if the “big, evil corporations” try to do anything to boost energy production.
If I were President, I would restart ALL avenues to make us energy-independant. I would also issue an executive order that states that ANY protester or group of protesters who approach a site where they are doing work to build our energy resources are to be issued ONE warning to turn back. If not, they open fire with automatic weapons and KILL anyone still there. No questions, no prosecution.
These cowards and commies must be taught a lesson.
Add to that, Rats in general are so twisted by their Bizarro view of life that they wouldn't know what was good for them if it was tattooed on their hand.
They are stuck on stupid with the man made global warming hoax. I saw them on Meet the Press today talking about the global warming problem with fossil fuels. No one gave a blink as the fossil fuel connection with global warming was made. The group discussing America’s energy situation was Mike Mullen, Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI), and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL).
Someone has to be paying these people to espouse this crap. Bet they have secret bank accounts somewhere with automatic deposits being made while they use liberal ideology as a cover up.
