“President Obama’s offshore charade continues today with the formal announcement of the 2012-2017 leasing plan for the outer continental shelf. With this plan, the administration reinstitutes the 27 year moratorium that was lifted in 2008, and turns its back on potentially enormous energy resources that could provide jobs and energy security for America. For more than three years, the Obama administration has consistently reversed bipartisan efforts to open America’s vast offshore resources for energy development.

The president has cancelled lease sales, delayed others, and imposed a unilateral executive embargo on the oil resources that our most promising public lands could provide. With 98 percent of the U.S. offshore currently unleased for energy exploration, Secretary Salazar has finalized this plan to continue the administration’s war against affordable energy. In the end, Americans will pay more for the energy they need.

I suppose it could be worse, I mean, he could have leased those areas to China and Venezuela. I guess he’s saving that for a second term."

Of course he would do that. We wouldnt want america of the middle easts teat now would we?

The timing is perfect. the consequences of these actions won't be realized for another 3-5 years, putting the problem squarely on the shoulders of the next administration. Same with the Health care reform taxes.

It's a really transparent game, I wonder if people will catch on?

[Ronin13]

Seriously? F*** that guy! When will this energy freeze stop? Are democrats so hell-bent on trying to ruin our economy by making it nearly impossible to afford anything? They don't realize that a rise in fuel costs also leads to a rise in everything else. I don't see the end of America being some foreign invader or some civil war, it will all crumble when gas becomes a luxury and people just stop.

The sheeple? Are you kidding me? Most Americans are nothing more than the horse following the carrot on a stick soong as the directions come from a "progressive".

No worries guys! We're sending plenty of money to Brazil so THEY can develop their offshort oil so we can buy it from them! We wouldnt want to put Americans to work when we can make the NIMBY crowd happy AND have all the oil we want!

Everything they do is for a reason: if there's a "big deal" in the 'headlines', then be on the lookout for what's going on behind the curtain! These aren't the oil supplies you're looking for.

If you read Lindsey Williams then this won't surprise you: it's part of the plan/agenda to create a 'great need' in the future when certain parties can then profit greatly from it!

Oil is a commodity owned by the oil companies and sold to the highest bidder.

Do you think that the BP oil spill might still be in some people's minds with regards to new drilling? There is the jobs issue, but it's not the only issue.

First, yes, but if a government doesn't allow the practice of off-shore drilling then it's kinda hard for said oil company to get more oil...

The BP oil spill was not one of the "norms" of the oil industry, if you look at their track record you'll see that BP is a very unsafe company and they are responsible for several ecological nightmares. In reality, most oil companies use BP as an example... of what NOT to be. In not so many words, BP sucks. I can say that safely because my mom works in the oil industry (information) and deals with all the big ones, also I have a few friends in the oil business and they all know about BP and refuse to work for that company.

So yes, one company screws up and it puts a black mark (pardon my pun) on the whole industry... if only the general public knew that BP is the exception, not the standard. I guarantee that if any of the major companies other than BP were to have tried what Deepwater Horizon did they wouldn't have had such a catastrophe. YMMV

[Goodburbon]

I can't stand to work for BP for the exact opposite reason. Safety stressed to the point of stupidity.
