Administration Caving to Fringe Environmental Lobby?

Like this wasn't exactly the way we expected this to go...Remember last year when the admin was all about how awesome the drilling jobs in Alaska were? Not so fast, buddy.

Now, though, the re-energized environmental lobby is pressuring the Administration to drag its feet on the OCS exploration. At the heart of the environmental lobby’s argument is a false choice between economic development and environmental preservation. In fact, Shell’s efforts to advance scientific understanding of the Arctic’s oceans, wildlife and coastal areas has been praised by the Alaska SeaLife Center, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Obama’s Department of the Interior.

The administration isn’t caving to them, the administration is completely sympatico with them. They believe, and are committed to, the same crap as the fringe environmental groups.

Caving to the fringe? Is that a joke? They are the fringe...on every single noteworthy issue in this country.

YOU said exactly what I was thinking....

The environmental lobby is just another member of the tribe that wants to rid the country of it’s resources.
