BREAKING NEWS: Obama administration says it will cancel 77 drilling leases near Utah parks
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
Links for what?
National Socialist Obama wants the U.S. to be more dependent on foreign oil, much of which comes from countries that are hostile.
My guess is that this is a politically strategic decision. The price of oil is low right now which is causing the oilfield jobs to dry up out this way which means the leases probably wouldn’t be used at this time anyway. When oil prices go up again, Obama can backtrack on the leases and the MSM can trumpet “LOOK HOW MUCH OBAMA IS DOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.”
We must remember the “let’s punish the republican” crowd who voted for Obama.
Thanks a whole lot.
Duh, you have mail. I sent you the links.
From the article you referenced:
“The purchase of a lease is not a ‘green light’ to drill. A lease is only the first step in a long, expensive process, which can take many years no guarantee of production. Those protesting the sale often forget that natural gas and oil activity in Utah occupies much less than 1% of public land. With current technology and industry practices, producers are able to develop vital energy resources now, and reclaim the land to its original condition soon afterwards.”
Think how destructive these environmentalists are. They hate people.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!
Hmmmmmm can one cancel a lease ? Was drilling underway at those 77 sites or were they waste disposal cost overload sites ? Aka cost to much to dispose of byproduct etc ....
..........I have questions yet Obama still sucks pond water !
Every time Obama acts a socialist congressman gets beat in the 2010 election ......and a kitten dies.
“European socialism” was nothing more than totalitarian communism lying in wait until America fell.
We’re into the next phase now.
Looks that way, doesn’t it?
Very scary times ahead.
For now, only those in the private sector need to worry about it. Government employees are by and large set for life.
Feel free to make as many enemies as you possibly can, Barak. We’ll remember who they are.
I guess we can call this the day the revolution started.
Can somebody find me a map of WHERE these proposed drilling sites are in relation to Canyonlands and Arches?
Obama and his ilk are destroying America. When is the revolution?
I'm not one for the tin foil hat, but I can see no other explanation for some of the things they've done so far and openly acknowledge wanting to do in the near-future.
My guess is Obama is far, far more radical than anyone previously thought. He knows without an economic collapse in the extreme, it will be difficult to do some of the things he wants to do. Lord help us.
Really, well, consider the economy officially fixed. This will certainly help our dependency on foriegn oil.
good luck with that...
I’d like all the anti-mccain “conservatives” that stayed home back in november to raise their hands...
