You may not be able to save your job or your house, but you'll be saving Mother Earth! At least that is what you are being told.
Drilling here and drilling now will create more jobs that any stimulus plan coming of of the District of Calamity. We won't see any new jobs in our energy sector unless we count the paper jobs of the green movement.
Will different forms of energy that pollute less be created? Yep, you bet, but will government create them? Nope, you can bet on that too. To continue to destroy petroleum based energy at this point is to help destroy our economy.
Via Gateway Pundit: Barack Obama's Interior Secretary Ken Salazar cancelled oil and gas leases on 77 parcels of land in Utah. This will most likely end the possibility of any drilling and hope for any income or new jobs in the area.Rather than develop domestic resources of energy here at home, the Obama Administration just cancelled development of oil and gas reserves in Utah.
The problems with "new energy" are momentous and will not be solved in the near future.
If Obama wants to create real change, he could stop the government from being hijacked by enviro-mental wack job groups as a start to get our country moving again.
On the other hand, maybe Obama is beholding to the groups that started this hysteria in the first place for his election. That would be more likely.
