Right. obama has zero interest in drilling for oil on our shores or directly off our shores, but Brazil and China are A-OKAY with him.
Which makes no sense from an environmental point of view (which is their rationale for not drilling on our lands and in our coastal waters). On the one hand, they propose that the entire world has to come together combat global warming and then in the next instant, it's good environmental policy to drill elsewhere, not here. And further illogic is that it is OK to use the products of that elsewhere drilling.
On the smaller scale, California won't allow any new refineries in their state, but they don't reduce their use of refined oil to the amount they refine in-State. The moratorium on refineries (and off shore drilling) is based on 'environmental' reasons. So if the oil extrated elsewhere and is refined, sa in Texas, it's environmentally OK?
Long as I live I will never understand liberal 'logic'.
