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.

Most petroleum industry analysts/geologists have long been saying that we are running out of places to drill.

And the industry has been shutting down existing refineries. "In the mid-1990s too much refining capacity, not too little, concerned the nation's major oil companies. At that time, the oil and gas industry faced what they termed "excess refining capacity," a circumstance they viewed as a financial liability that drove down overall profit margins. The industry reduced the total amount of potential supply by closing down more than 50 refineries in the past decade. Since 1995 alone, 24 refinery closings have taken nearly 830,000 barrels of oil per day." www.safehaven.com/article...soline-bubble-manipulated Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein, fought the closure of a refinery in Bakersfield. I am writing today to express my concern over Shell´s plans for the Bakersfield refinery. Based on our telephone conversation, it was clear to me that Shell would prefer to sell the refinery to closing it. I understand that there are several willing buyers out there for the Bakersfield refinery. Yet, I have heard that Shell has not made a good faith effort to sell the refinery. Specifically, I have heard that Shell has not created a "data room" with access to potential buyers, which indicates to some buyers that Shell intends to close the facility and not offer it for sale. Further, I have been told that Shell has never offered the assets for sale, has not prepared a prospectus or offering document, and has not engaged an investment banker to negotiate a sale.
Democrats Attack Bill to Boost Refineries http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8D3903O1&show_article=1
Did you read the article? There was a lot more in the proposed bill than just building refineries, reducing air quality standards for one.
And what do you think is the excuse these moonbats ALWAYS use for blocking refineries? They are pandering to loons. Air quality standards are a joke and are becoming even more so.
For a so called self described expert in the field you would think maybe reciting an example might show a little more professionalism. You evidently never visited Santa Ana in the sixties, the joke then was one needed a quide dog.

Or Pittsburgh in the '60's. I knew what a temperature inversion was when I was 6.

You evidently never visited Santa Ana in the sixties, the joke then was one needed a quide dog. Well, this ain't the 60s is it. For example, for the longest time the ozone standard was 120 ppb for a one hour average. Now, if you an 85 yr old with emphysema, that ozone level might be problematic, but for 99.9% of the population it's not going to create any issues. It's true that places such as the LA basin could have levels much higher than that which could be more damaging and some air quality controls were warranted. However while that area might have had levels as much as 300 ppb, it still doesn't compare to areas such as Mexico City with levels of 800 ppb. But back to that 120. By the mid 90s, there were only a few areas left that couldn't comply with that standard. In short, air quality in the US was good. However, EPA couldn't have that. After all, attainament areas are subject to much less stringent Rules, and there is Federal Government job security at issue here. So the standards were changed -- to an 80 ppb for an 8 hr average. This sent areas which had previously been in attainment to non-attainment. But areas now are becoming in attainment with that, too. So EPA is changing that to 70 ppb, with 65 ppb proposed. Do you see a pattern here? There is no reason to lower these standards further. People are being conned into believeing their air is bad when it is not.
Interesting to note how some want to spin this thread from the basic fact Owe- bama flat out lied here. There is no disputing the known facts.
Just 10 days prior to the explosion, the Obama administration’s regulators gave the oil rig a pass, and last year the Obama administration granted BP a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) exemption for its drilling operation.
Funny how some want to always refocus the threads on the parts they want to be repeated over and over. To the point so they sound like a broken records. Must be that Goodle hit spam stuff. It seems to be ruining honest discussion.

Thanks for offering up your viewpoint.

I sure you would have enjoyed seeing the air you breathed. Yet somehow air quality improved, must have been by some more of your magic hocus pocus.

That what forums are for. Did I just describe you? Too funny.

I didn't say it didn't improve; in fact, I said just the opposite. We are at the point where air quality is actually good just about everywhere in the US. You think at this point, they would be scaling back on the demands of industry and simply go into maintenance mode. The opposite is happening; they are putting their foot down harder and people are being scared with these bogus "bad air" arguments which simply aren't true anymmore. Yes, the air quality standards are a joke.
You want us to trust business?

I would say that 95% of enforcement of the CAA is a matter of "trusting business."
As long as we have corporations willing to dump their crap into the waterways and air I guess we will always need these regs which in turn gives bureaucrats lots of power. Hopefully the regs can just be tweaked as needed, but no one gives up power voluntarily.

Thanks again.

I think BP put a stop to that at least for my lifetime.

FWIW, the EPA will say they had to make the changes because they were sued. Which is laughable, because the EPA is hardly at odds with the goofballs bringing forth these suits.
Why do you always badmouth? And its ironic you quote a clown busted for violating a basic rule of how forums operate.

Actually, air quality today is the best its been in the past century, nationally.

Another poster made that claim but you probably didn't see it. Geez, I wonder why?
Yep. Average Americans don't see it the way the uber liberals want...which is why they attack them so viciously these days. Heaven forbid you show up at a Tea Party rally.

Maybe we can actually clean up the air to the point we can get rid of the blue haze for which the Blue Ridge mountains were named. I don't think driving hybrids will do it, though. Maybe if we cut down all the trees...
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.
They were sued because during the last adminstration they were told to stand down.

The career bureaucrats at EPA most definitely did not like Bush because he didn't by into to all the bullshit. I guarantee you the organization as a whole is firmly in bed with those kooks.
Chuckles...you obese like Christie too, Boofer? You seemed to take that to heart...

Doesn't list shale oil either.

So these kooks are the reason that we have clean air and it's why we no longer need clean air? You taking logic lessons from Boofer?

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...

At one time, there were real concerns. That's not true anymore. We don't need a 65 ppb national ozone standard.
Fortunately, most everyone disagrees with you.
