"This could have been done, what, seven years ago???" As someone in the energy industry I would say seven years ago the indusrty was depressd with super low crude oil prices. It would have hurt more than help all the people in the industry and their families. Massive lay offs back then already.
Now the time is right.

OKay, how about 7 months ago? This is another sign there isn't a nickle sideways that can fit between the Republicans and Democrats on Energy. Talk talk. What other executive orders is President Bush sitting on? Any that he ought to suspend before Senator Obama gets into office? The advice President Bush gets is just awful.

but conservatives believe in economic freedom at any time. Not just right before an election.
