Could be my tin foil cap is too tight, but I think this has something to do with cutting off the water to the farmers. Unable to grow crops, yet tax bills due, when will they be forced to sell and who will snap it up at a devalued price...only to exclaim ‘Eureka!’ Texas tea in Californee!
If there’s oil off your coast and you want to drill, then DRILL for it, dammit!!!
What are the feds going to do? Send the Marines to stop you from drilling in your own territorial waters? Uhhh ... no.
For a while I thought it might be wise to keep our oil and gas in the ground and let the rest of the world run dry. But then I remembered that a LOT of our treasure is being sent to nitwits who hate us, just to pay for our oil addiction. Uhhh ... no. Better to use our own.
Then again, a drilling ban is just one more way for the enviro-whackos to keep us suppressed. As if global warming, spotted owls, delta smelt and polar bears having to swim wasn’t enough ...
Just use the 10h amendment and nullify the Fed’s actions.
