How long until the current ban expires? Time to lock it up boys, “shut ‘er down, Clancy.”

I submit that in all likelihood there are some high profile Dems (and maybe some Republicans) that don’t want to drill because they are heavily invested in oil/gas or in the substitutes thereof. In other words if the demand is high, the supply is low—so the price is high and they make a tidy, little sum for their already substantial nest eggs.

I say follow the money.

McCallum gets it "... so we’re going to end up with an agreement perhaps that allows us only to drill in areas where the oil is not.

It is rather interesting. If the vast majority of the oil is within 10 miles of the coast, why would they only allow drilling past 100 miles? So they can say the republican plan for drilling was a failure, and the Dems can keep those oil stock options going. It seems pretty obvious to me, that as long as we are stuck on Foreign Oil Dependency, some one, like Pelosi, must be getting rich off it

That pretty much sums up the Democrats feeling of job security. No matter what they do they can expect to remain in office.

There are a lot of energy opportunities that will go along way in helping rebuild the economy and the Congress will allow any of it to happen. It is going to take a depression and a lot of civil unrest before things get better.

Do Nothing Nancy offers her Permanent Drilling Ban, Drilling Bill for all the suckers.
If you like $4/gal, Thank Congress. If you want $10, Vote Obama.

Pray for W, McCuda and Our troops

Attention Republican Party leaders...

A National Plan to Drill Drill Drill, with 3-5 points on a National Advertising Campaign will help you increase House and Senate seat pickups.

Sort of like a Contract for America.

“American Energy for America”

I believe that Ms. Pelosi has a stake in T-Bone's venture.

There’s a rumor that McCain is in support of this “Gang of 10” compromise. I hope not. It’ll deflate most of the air and ammo from his campaign. I think he should be running against most of Congress along w/Obama.

The current ban on drilling on the Continental Shelf expires on Oct 1, 2008. Let it expire and drill, drill, drill.

Are you sure about that date? The FoxNews showed that the oil is about 50 miles offshore in California, but closer to shoreline on east coast. The dems are trying to push approval at 100 miles out, where no oil is noted.
