U.S. Blocks Oil Drilling at 60 Sites in Utah
2009-10-10
Faulting the Bush administration, the Interior Department barred oil and gas development at eight of the sites and said 52 others would be subjected to further study.
Good thing we don't need oil or natural gas ...
Because then we would continue to be prosperous and exceptional ... and the left is bound and determine to destroy that capability once and for all time.

Were they pushing safe nuclear power as a substitute it would be one thing. But they're not ... which tells you that this is what it looks like, namely an all-out assault on America by transnational 'progressives'. It's intentional and so far it's winning because the American people are not rising up to stop it.

#9  Common sense says.

"Use up the enemy's recources, then tap ours".

You say that as if we're looting the enemy's resources instead of paying them cash equivalent to the DoD's budget _yearly_ for it. Or as if you're willing to do the dirty, dangerous work of operating an oil rig after it's been in mothballs for twenty years.

I'm in the Sacramento area and have smome insight to state government and the current administration/legislature. Do you think California actually can be saved? I've pretty much lost hope unless we just fire the entire legislature.

#6  Colorado's own super-green, Ken Salazar, in action. Glad he's no longer our senator, but the way he's handling Interior does not bode well for the United States. We're going to have to do a thorough house-cleaning in Washington, to include the various "departments" and "agencies", including the EPA, that are all trying to destroy our nation. Cleaning up the cesspit called "California" would also help, especially working on the lower two thirds (from Sacramento to San Diego).

#5  Common Sense say: Don't permit your economy to become hostage to vagaries of the outside energy market.

#3  The 77 government-owned parcels, covering some 100,000 acres in eastern and southern Utah, were leased in the last weeks of the Bush administration. But the leases were immediately challenged by conservation groups, and in January a federal judge blocked drilling on the ground that the Interior Department had failed to follow its own procedures for reviewing the appropriateness of lands designated for oil and gas extraction.

Looks like it was stopped by one of the Princes of the realm.

#2  Folks, did you not understand the election of 2008?

This is all part of "Change" the President of the United States of America, Nobel Prize winner, Barack Hussein Obama promised you during the election of 2008.

Please watch the great and wonderful "Change" which will take place in America by "conserving our natural resources".

Oh it must be done, after all this one of the promises the President of the United States made to you while on the campaign trail.

#1  Not that, in my view, is a lot more significant, and alarming, news than a bunch of euro elitist degenerates (sorry about the tautology) giving Obama Peace Nobel for defeating the horrible, horrible USA racism.
