This piece has such a narrow scope that my only thought is that Mr Holt is some how in collusion with the domestic oil suppliers. 270,000 jobs is no where near enough to justify increased off-shore drilling. We must balance the positives with the negatives (such as the potential for catastrophic environmental damage) when we are looking at high risk solutions. All I’m saying is… there’s got to be a better way than this!

The resistance has the beneficial side benefit of making energy more expensive. The more expensive they can make energy the more practical the green energy movement starts to become. After all, Spain provided a 500% subsidy to their green energy sector (later reduced to 300% when 500% didn’t work) to try and make it work for them and it did work. It cost 2.2 private-sector jobs for every green job and put nearly 20% of the Spanish workforce out of work, making them completely dependent upon the government for support. Great outcome if you are an authoritarian socialist. Everyone else? We’ll just eat cake.

This administration won’t support offshore drilling until they pass cap and trade. That way, they can capitalize on it, better yet, end up owning it.

Obama will use every means at his disposal to stop offshore drilling; it isn’t in his agenda of destroying our economy, a conclusion I’ve reached by examining every piece of legislation either already passed or proposed. Not one actually strengthens our economy. NOT ONE!!! In fact just the opposite,
