These are only the first of many oil drilling leases to be canceled!

It will be when they start “regulating” ammo. We’re out here, and ready.

Word o’ warning boys and girls; it may not matter much; I work in the “awl” bidness and with cap’n trade talk, it’s possible every well head in the U.S. would have to be retrofitted with emissions monitoring equipment. The result will be that unless a well is making +100 BBLs a day oil or 1MMCF a day gas, it’ll be plugged and abandonned. Most of the onshore production in the U.S. is “stripper” production.

In a nutshell, it’s their answer to energy independence, i.e., lower U.S. oil & gas production.

Always remember the words Joe Biden used.

I truely believe this is a ‘manufactured’ crisis. A real crisis but they underestimated the ‘Human Factor’. They can’t put ‘Humpty Dumpty’ back together again without the producers. We know it and they know it. We don’t have to do anything in order for their agenda to fail.

Who is John Gault?

Any day now Obama and the Dems will probably re-ban the offshore areas W lifted executive order bans on the last days of his administration.

Obama and his gang of tax cheats will soon implement policies certain to send gasoline prices back to the $3.00 $4.00 range, or higher.

Actually, I would bet that the oil companies are very happy to be relieved of these leases, with the price of a barrel at $40.00, these leases are worthless.

I’m sure Obama will put a stop to all research especially the program below. He’s truly out to destroy us as a nation whether by design or stupidity is still up for discussion.

U.S. green lights ‘anything into oil’
Defense Department OKs facilities turning natural produce into energy

A Georgia company looking to solve America’s energy problem has finally teamed up with the federal government, hoping to make millions of barrels of oil every day from virtually anything that grows out of the Earth.

Bell Bio-Energy, Inc. says it has reached an agreement with the U.S. Defense Department to build seven test production plants, mostly on military bases, to quickly turn naturally grown material into fuel.

I am in complete agreement with you. I said this before the election. I told people that Obama’s main aim was to bring the country down.

What is amazing to me is the speed at which he is accomplishing his goal.
