The guy that Obama put at the head of the EPA is having his lawyers block drilling at every step. The guy is a communist. The EPA should not exist simply because government institutions with the power of the EPA will inevitably be corrupted and used for evil. That’s what we have today.
That’s the whole motivation behind limited government. It will be corrupted and used for the evil purposes of evil men. Best to keep it as small and impotent as possible. Non-existent is best.
We should be drilling in every State and off shore. And, we should be using our VAST supplies of natural gas to run autos, as well. Any of the other “green” garbage isn’t pratical or scalable, imo. Watch gas go to $6 per/gallon and then at election time Obama will magically bring gas down to $4.50 and the libs will think he’s King again.
