My question is this. Five years ago when we tried to drill offshore and the Leftists stopped it…wouldn’t now be five years later and it would be making an impact…now?

So, in essence, Obama is saying it’s not a good idea to plan ahead even five years in advance? Is that Leadership?

this guy just doesnt get it. or he is playing politics with all of our livelihoods. its one or the other and they both stink

The US MMS says there is about 124 billion recoverable barrels in US territory. The US has about 400 years supply of coal, the best of which Clinton made a national monument out of it. Anyone who thinks that these resources won’t make a huge difference then they study at Gorbachev GCI for Marxism.

You want energy independence, drill here drill now, pay less — Change you can believe in.

That obviously won’t change things for ten years. So is his complaint that five years is too fast? I don’t understand his response.

If it takes five years to get off shore oil flowing, it will be because of the four and a half years of fighting (environ)mental(ist)s in court and filling out impact statements.

No new nuclear power plants, no new drilling in Anwar or off the coast, no mining the oil shale deposits, no, no, no is all you hear.

Here in Colorado Senator Ken Salazar (goofball) stated that it would be 7 years before our eastern oil shale would be able to be tapped and by then fuel cell technology will be the way things are headed so of course he opposes it. What a dope!!! I don’t think they will be creating fuel cell passenger/cargo planes, trains, ships, trucks and other large commercial vehicles by then. Not to mention all the vehicles used by the military. Really don’t think we will be converting to electric tanks any time soon Mr. Salazar.

Oil will be needed till the end of time and waiting any longer only puts us further behind in the time line of energy independence. You have to pursue multiple avenues with energy if this is our ultimate goal. Pursue wind, geothermal, solar, (especially) nuclear, and OIL at the same time and we will be way ahead of the game. Doesn’t take a friggin’ genius to figure this out which goes to show how dim the Dems are.

Time is now to break down the walls that the Democrats insist on putting up!!

Yeah… ask any lib where they think the electricity will come from and you get … shrug shoulders and ‘i dunno’.
Barry can’t tell you either. Serious dumbfuckery out of the Dhimmis and it’s only June.

“Now as then, Obama says the proposals are nonsense because they won’t help consumers hurting now.”

But Obambi proposes….

“Instead, Obama said he would invest $150 billion over the next 10 years to create green jobs, particularly in the automotive industry and to improve the electricity grid so people can drive plug-in hybrid vehicles.”

Over 10 years heh?

BTW, we own 1/3 of the world’s resouces in coal. Synthetic fuels were produced by South Africa and by Germany in WWII.
Synthetic fuel production is vialble once oil passes 55.00/barrel.

We have tons of fuel reserves that we haven’t tapped into because Peloski &Co are sucking gaia’s ass.

We need a Manhatten Project for energy independence and GW needs to recind BillyBobs Executive Order on ANWAR drilling.

Hey, but keep electing Dhimoids people. These are the mindless fucks that keep your taxes high and energy independence focussed on short-term solutions.

Yeah, keep paying the jizya by electing BHO and keeping the current crop of Defeat-o-rats in power.

Maybe America will wake up when OPEC cuts us off like they did in the 70’s. Back then we only imported 30% of our oil.
Wanna guess what that per centage is now?

There’s no reason for GW NOT to do this other than election politics. It would give the Dhimmis a rallying issue that Republicans will even drill in Wildlife Reserves and that *might* negatively impact the very recent success at converting the general public to the need to drill.
