Apparently, even though the administration has a five year plan to allow drilling in the Gulf and the Arctic...they're not that interested in living up to it.
Shocker, I know.
One would think that one of the primary requirements of energy independence would be having the ability to collect the energy through which one becomes independent by using. Somehow, this logic escapes the Obama administration as evidenced by their “Five-Year Plan.” However, if their goal was to diminish opportunities for energy resources, they’ve done a magnificent job.It is pretty well established that there is oil in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Arctic. We should drill there until it runs dry and the administration puts forth the appearance that they agree on this point as they have been kind enough to allow additional drilling there. Specifically, they’ve agreed to set up 12 lease auctions in the Gulf and 3 more in the Arctic. Very nice of them but these are known quantities and probably don’t qualify as the savior of energy independence at this point. For that, we’d need to explore new areas. However, true exploration is not on the agenda.

They keep trying to trump science and economics with money. Money might make an impact for a short time but it won’t outlast the other 2.
Perhaps when gas is $4 per gallon in early November and the Canadians are building their own pipeline to the west coast so they can sell the oil they wanted to sell us to China people might wake up on November 6th and know who is to blame.
The Obama administration is Orwellian. The “Department of Energy” of course produces absolutely no energy. In fact it does everything possible to inhibit the production of coal and oil. The ideologues at EPA and Energy inhabit a green delusional fantasy land that is causing real misery for ordinary Americans. They themselves never experience misery because if they get thrown out of office they simply return to their tenured positions at largely tax supported universities or tax sheltered foundations.
“However, if their goal was to diminish opportunities for energy resources, they’ve done a magnificent job.”
Precisely!! Another success story of the Obama Cabal.
No. Not failing. Succeeding. Succeeding in destroying the US energy sector, driving up energy costs, and the associated economy destroying impacts.
This is a success since it is part of Obama’s and Soros’s plan.
The phrase “five year plan” sums it all up. That is the key phrase for “how can I do as much damage as possible in order to gain complete control”. Just remember, it’s all about control, and who wants to control it.

Gas is over $4.00 a gallon here in San Diego, but the state will still be going democrat...
Gang, It’s NOT a failure. It’s an integral part of the Soros/Obozo plan to drag the US to turd world status!
