As far as I’m concerned it is traitorous for our President to maintain his moratoriums on off shore drilling in our waters in the face of unrest in the mid east. There are thousands or mapped, drilled, and capped wells right now in the Gulf and other offshore locations that could be opened and put into production within months. It is unconscionable that it has not been started already.

One wonders if there has been large sums of money passed to keep those moratoriums in place? From whom to whom? Saudi Arabia to Obama? Or, have members of Congress and the DOE also been beneficiaries?

Inquiring minds...

Add to that the fact that we spend $29 billion a year on a Department of Energy whose stated goal at formation in 1977 was to develop a national plan to reduce our reliance on foreign energy sources.

Bears repeating.
