Who was it that said “never let a crisis go to waste?” Just as the Obama administration took advantage of the BP oil spill to enact an unwarranted and economically ruinous moratorium on all deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, it appears that nuclear power companies are next in line for similar draconian...
This doesn't sound good. There are reports of a large oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico, about 20 miles from the site of the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion. It does not appear that this new slick is related to last year's oil spill. The Coast Guard is investigating.
An administration that was serious about creating jobs could do a number of things to make things better for workers in America. They could start by opening up oil and drilling leases. Not only would thousands of Americans find work in that industry, but the rest of us would have more money in our...
Geez, it took the Republicans long enough to start blasting President Obama for his wretched energy policy. His intentions have been obvious for quite some time, yet they’ve remained silent. They should have started vocally pointing out to the American people what this president of ours has been up to since the moment he...
Here in the Syracuse, NY area the average price for a gallon of gas is $3.58 and rising. Heck, those numbers are from last night or this morning, so it could be higher by now. At this rate, gas prices will soon top $4.00 per gallon, and for those of you in states like...
I have whiplash from the constant shaking of my head over the policies and procedures of our current administration. From protecting our borders with beanbags, to giving the first permit after the disaster caused by BP to a company co-owned by BP, I’m thinking I may need traction. Good Lord, when is it going...
Senator Mary Landrieu might be a Democrat, but she’s well aware of the importance of Gulf oil drilling to Louisiana’s economy. She’s one of the few Democrats who has stood up to the Obama administration over its vindictive and destructive “permitorium” on drilling. The administration doctored a report to feign support for the moratorium....
You'd think it would be good news that the Obama administration has finally issued an oil drilling permit. Maybe that would signal more permits are on the way. But no. The folks running the agencies in charge of the permit process don't think they're receiving enough funding from the taxpayers, so expect them to...
Regular readers are familiar with the story of Thomas Clements. He’s a small business owner whose business was decimated by President Obama’s moratorium on drilling, and the later “permitorium” on issuing drilling permits. As a supplier of parts to oil rigs, if the the rigs don’t operate, Clements doesn’t have work. Click here for...
The political upheaval in Libya and elsewhere in the Middle East is sending oil prices through the roof. Oil surged to a 28-month high of $100 a barrel on Wednesday as escalating violence in OPEC producer Libya slashed output there and investors bet the unrest could spread to other oil exporters. Brent has posted...
On the same day that the oil industry announced they have met the demands of the Bureau of Ocean Management, a federal judge ordered the Interior Department to act on drilling permits. U.S. District Court Judge Martin Feldman granted a motion for a preliminary injunction against the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Thursday in...
The Obama administration has given one excuse after another for its halt on issuing oil drilling permits in the Gulf of Mexico. The cost of gas is skyrocketing, oil rigs are pulling out, and thousands of Americans are out of work. Thomas Clements owns a small business that provides parts for oil rigs. If...
Your tax dollars at work! Our federal government is $14 trillion in debt, state budgets are deeply in the red, yet the Department of Labor is rewarding grants to colleges to train students on non-existent green jobs. The Daily Caller reported: The Department of Labor has issued several million dollars in grants to community...
I’m sorry to have to report this. Last month I sat in on a conference call with Thomas Clements, whose small business was devastated by President Obama’s oil drilling ban. At the time, Mr. Clements and his wife were finding a way to keep their heads above water – barely. Unfortunately, things have taken a...
