The market started dropping again right after this announcement.

It was never a viable concept in the first place. There is no nation on this planet thats industrialized that is ‘energy independent’ and there never will be.
Its a fools errand talking point.

Oil prices are so low now, that it doesn't matter. Even if we auctioned off the leases to drill in these places today, no oil company would start drilling for a long time. And we probably wouldn't get much money for the leases, either.
In this case, Obama is probably right. We're better off waiting a few years.

This means the return of $4.00 a gallon gasoline and even higher increases. I’m sure the folks in the defunct RV industry in Elkhart, IN, are happy that there is now no chance of the RV industry ever returning because of this.

Between this and the Utah lease cancellations, expect gas to rise over the $2 per gallon mark on average.

Whatever happened to energy independence?That was an answer for another question.

At this rate, I think Obama may decide to reduce our need for urban renewal projects by nuking a dozen US cities.
He's got to be destroying us on purpose.

Whatever happened to energy independence? Wind and solar! Where have you been. The messiah has been telling us this was our promised land to energy independence for a while now.
We don't need filthy fossil fuel from our own country to become energy independent.

My head is spinning. This is like a bad movie. It really seems like there is a concerted effort to wreck our economy.

Ken Salazar. Isn’t he the guy who said he wanted $8.00/gallon gas to make alternate energy pay?
To: Sleeping Freeper
On the plus side, he’s certainly giving future genuine conservative candidates a lot of ammo to campaign upon (probably encoded ammo at that).

“To establish an orderly process that allows us to make wise decisions based on sound information, we need to set aside” the plan...”
Of course, Obammie the Commie didn't set aside anything, except concern for America and liberty, to RUSH his Porkulis package through.

To: Sleeping Freeper
Ken Salazar is a God Dam Communist !! His judgment on this issue is just that Anything to hurt America he is in favor of otherwise this bastard would be whole heartily encouraging American Oil production.

Just yesterday this fake Shaman traveled to Elkhart, where the economy is dominated by manufacturers of motor homes, to seek support.
Today, he has his people put the kibash on a plan to drill for more oil, to increase supply.
This clown says anything that sounds good at the moment, to that particular audience.

Next up - destroy the coal industry, freeze Yuca mountain (stop ane new resurgence of Nukes), and let the electric rates seek their own new levels. The Gumnint will spend billions for Windmills, Solar, and other “GREEN” power - but the need for the base plants will not go away since none of these sources work 24x7. They can NEVER be cost effective alternatives.

Enjoy your $5/gal gas from the gummit. Time to blame the evil Oil Companies and limit their pay.
In case anyone thought he was serious about jobs.
