During last year’s debates about more oil drilling and more domestic energy production, Democrats were against any new drilling. They said that energy companies weren’t using all of the leases they currently had, and that they should drill and explore on the land covered by existing leases.
Now this new administration is eliminating the existing leases that the oil companies were supposed to use before we started any new drilling/exploration?
And last night Obama said that we import more oil than we ever have, and that’s got to change. Exactly where are we going to get new energy resources to replace these oil imports though?
The article says these leases came into effect on 1/14/09, so I don’t think they’d really be considered as the “existing leases” you refer to.
Windmills my friend. Windmills/s/
Obamanation speaks with forked tongue.
Exactly where are we going to get new energy resources to replace these oil imports though?
pixie dust.
With the liberal aversion to nuclear, and already having declared war against the coal industry, and now taking away leases, this administration is forcing another energy crisis. At what would be the response of this administration? More demonization of the industry, maybe nationalization, and definitely further reductions in energy production.
Up is down and down is up. Good is evil and evil is good (woe to those...)
There is only one reason why the Democrats do stuff like this, and that is because they are owned by so-called environmentalists. And the Democrats hope to ride the global warming scare into the future.
