PYLE: Energy Department sneaks offshore moratorium past public

Jobs and oil-supply potential are shut down

While the Obama administration was taking a victory lap last week after the 5-4 Supreme Court decision to uphold the president’s signature legislative accomplishment, Obamacare, the Interior Department was using the media black hole to release a much-awaited five-year plan for offshore drilling. That plan reinstitutes a 30-year moratorium on offshore energy exploration

[TLI]

Given the timing, it is clear that the self-described “all of the above” energy president didn’t want the American people to discover that he was denying access to nearly 98 percent of America’s vast energy potential on the Outer Continental Shelf

More than 3 1/2 years into the Obama regime, nearly 86 billion barrels of undiscovered oil on the Outer Continental Shelf remain off-limits to Americans.

Once you add those restrictions to the vast amount of shale oil that is being blocked, the administration has embargoed nearly 200 years of domestic oil supply.

I can not think of obscene language foul enough to describe the lump of shit currently occupying our White House.

Because a corner cutting BP had a messy accident with a deep well in the Gulf, now we shouldn’t explore anything offshore? (And exploration capability has steadily been getting better and better at actually locating oil pools.)

A green’s wet dream, a red blooded American’s grief and shame.

[Sioux-san]

There was no reason for the BP oil spill to go on as long as it did - more intentional sabotage on the part of our PINO Barry Soetoro.

The latest in a ling list of anti public policy, including:

Obamacare
Leaks of sensitive secrets
Solyndra style ventures
Fast and furious
Bullet trains
Coal industry shutdown
Higher electric bills
Illegal immigrants among us
No voter IDs for state polls

The public wants none of this.

I think you did an apt job!

The lawlessness of this man is breathtaking.
