The Obama administration today said a proposal from House Natural Resources Chairman Doc Hastings (R-Wash.) to expedite oil and gas leasing and energy infrastructure permitting in an Alaska reserve could force federal regulators to flout environmental laws and includes a costly, redundant resource assessment. Mike Pool, deputy director of the Bureau of Land Management, also announced the agency will hold lease sales in the National Petroleum Reserve, known as NPR-A, in December 2011 and each year after, making good on the administration's mid-May promise to expedite development in the 23-million-acre reserve.

And people don’t seem to get that the Obama administration will do everything in their power to cause the price of energy to “sky rocket”. It is all part of the plan to “save the planet” and redistribute the wealth.
Is it November, 2012 yet???
Sustainable Great Depression...

Obama is such an idiot!
Fubo!!!!!!!
Obama is the “Soup Nazi” of energy.
“No energy for you!”
On the contrary my friend, he's not an idiot and he knows exactly what he's doing.
And now that it appears we just might be able to, they throw down roadblock after roadblock in the way of energy development.
The idiots are the people who voted for him.
At least, that's what I am praying for.
He is danger and destruction personified.
There seem to be a growing number of articles hitting the mainstream regarding the energy issue and Obama obstructing it.
The articles are written in such a way that the administration is not ‘blamed’ for obstructing the extraction of energy, but the message is quite clear where the problem lies. This is a turnaround from a year ago when the Republicans were outright blamed for everything on the rare instance an energy article hit the media at all. I also see the Oil co bosses are publicly speaking out more and more - and that too is getting press.
In short, the press has backed off, slightly but surely, in their defense of O and co on this issue.
Banning those reporters and sticking others in closets DO have a downside it would seem.
