No Drilling In Alaska For Shell

Gas prices keep going up and the unrest in the Middle East will not make things any better. Some analysts predict $5.00 a gallon gas this year and if that happens any hope for economic recovery will rapidly fade. We have plenty of our own resources but we are not allowed to use them. We already see how the Obama policies are affecting Texas (in the spotlight of the Superbowl) and now we see the result of his oil policies.
Shell will not be drilling in Alaska this year.
Shell Alaska has dropped plans to drill in the Arctic waters of the Beaufort Sea this year and will concentrate on obtaining permits for the 2012 season, company Vice President Pete Slaiby said Thursday.
The recent remand of air permits issued by the Environmental Protection Agency was the final driver behind the decision, Slaiby said at a news conference. Yahoo News
The administration is doing everything it can to keep us from using our resources. Hell, Obama and his minions are in contempt of court for the refusal to follow court orders related to drilling in the Gulf because they do not care about the law.
The regime has an agenda and it will keep pushing until it destroys us.
How long will this continue before we have push back?
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

One reason Shell has postponed its drilling has been the outright bribery of the Owebamma admin. regarding the “carbon credits” they will get for NOT drilling, much like a subsidy for, say, corn- or the infamous “mohair subsidy” people like Sam Donaldson (yes, the “news broadcaster”) got for just having sheep on his property- he got $30,000 from the govt.
Shell is no different than anyone else.
It is the old “carrot and the stick” approach.
They don’t care if we “push back.” We’re peons, we don’t even exist to people like Obama.
Where this should go, and things would immediately get better, is for the states to push back. Alaska should tell Obama, “Bite me. This is our state, and we want to drill for oil.” But, of course, that will never happen, because Alaska is MASSIVELY sucking at the teat that is the federal government.
