Production Obstruction: Critics cite mounting evidence that Obama administration is blocking oil

Delays in federal permitting for oil and gas exploration on public land is likely reducing national energy production and depriving the federal government of revenue, according to a federal report released Friday.

The report is the latest addition to a mounting body of evidence undercutting the administration’s claims that it has fostered increased oil and gas production, critics say. Production on lands the federal government controls has plummeted during Barack Obama’s presidency.

The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) inspector general examined 1,881 applications for drilling permits on public land. Fewer than 4 percent of those applications were “recent,” or filed in the last 180 days. The rest had experienced prolonged delays.

It is nothing but a grand money laundering scheme to pay back the Sheik.

His quest to maximize mid-East turmoil, is just another tool in his effort to destroy American productivity.

It has the added benefit of unraveling the effects of what he perceives as “colonialism”.

If you have trouble understanding Obama’s motives for his actions or policies, simply assign an anti-American or an anti-colonialist attitude, and the motives become clear.

His bankster patrons would shut him down fast if they disagreed. So the question is - what are they getting out of a USA with high energy costs and a less competitive economy?

I'll bet the answer (as usual) goes through Saudi Arabia.

I saw some scum Sierra Club mouthpiece over the weekend complaining that Natural Gas was hurting their efforts to push for solar and wind.

Evidently the CO2 levels pumped in the atmosphere by the USA have dropped significantly as our use of natural gas has increased.

The use of natural gas is putting downward pressure (not enough) on oil prices and reducing CO2 so of course for those who what to destroy us that is a bad thing.

To the brain dead tree huggers, there are only so many watts available per square foot (unless you turn up the sun) and just like wind it is intermittent. Numbers don’t lie but environmental wackos sure do.

Possibly and probably. I also truely believe he wants to hand us over to the coming caliphate-when we are weak as kittens (not a bridge too far).
