Two vacations, a half dozen parties, and several rounds of golf later, Barack Obama finally addresses the nation on the BP oil spill. Lie #1: We’re drilling in deepwater because we’re running out of places to drill. Not True. For decades, Democrats have blocked efforts to responsibly develop this nation’s energy resources, transforming vast areas of opportunity into “The No Zone.” Over the past 30 years: Democrats have blocked the development of new sources of petroleum. Democrats have blocked drilling in ANWR. Democrats have blocked drilling off the coast of Florida. Democrats have blocked drilling off of the east coast. Democrats have blocked drilling off of the west coast. Democrats have blocked drilling off the Alaskan coast. Democrats have blocked building oil refineries. Democrats have blocked clean nuclear energy production. Democrats have blocked clean coal production. But, they’re funding projects in Brazil. The Wall Street Journal reported: The U.S. is going to lend billions of dollars to Brazil’s state-owned oil company, Petrobras, to finance exploration of the huge offshore discovery in Brazil’s Tupi oil field in the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro. Brazil’s planning minister confirmed that White House National Security Adviser James Jones met this month with Brazilian officials to talk about the loan. This radical president is shameless. He’s pushing for more regulations and his cap-&-tax energy policy that will cause energy costs to necessarily skyrocket. Now he’s quoting 
Reverend Wright a fisherman’s prayer.

This article is missing a lot of areas Demonrats won't allow drilling. Western MD for gas, I heard about it 25+ years ago. Turns out the huge natural gas find runs half the Appalachian Mountains. Now a large find, billion dollar corporations have been created to go get it. Mostly in PA, but I haven't looked into the companies lately. The huge find in ND/SD/Canada that has more potential than Saudi Arabia. Look how much has been recovered already from there. Eastern PA has a smaller deposit of Nat Gas and the queers are battling to keep from tapping it. Too many immigrants from NY and NJ that haven't got two brain cells to rub together. All that oil off FL that the Cubans are drilling 90 miles from our coast. Anyone with two brain cells knows you can sink a well and then drill horizontally to hit the field. Etc, etc, etc. To sum it up, if there are two alternatives the Libtards will ALWAYS choose the wrong one, it's hard to believe it, just read some of Libtard posts on any board and you will know it's irrefutable.
Doesn't list shale oil either.
Fine...take the price of oil to $200 a barrel and make it economically feasible for the companies to bring it up... PS: boof...one of the cornerstones of Carter's energy policy was developing better technologies for retorting shale...he mentioned it in his "crisis of confidence" speech...
