We all know the spin and propaganda that will be manufactured by the White House over this, and we all know it has nothing to do with Obama or his policies, right? As usual, it will be somebody elses fault. Shell (big oil) in this case. Once again, “I told you so.” This is your presidents EPA and energy policy at work for you.
Shell Oil Company has announced it must scrap efforts to drill for oil this summer in the Arctic Ocean off the northern coast of Alaska. The decision comes following a ruling by the EPA’s Environmental Appeals Board to withhold critical air permits. The move has angered some in Congress and triggered a flurry of legislation aimed at stripping the EPA of its oil drilling oversight.
And some of you drones still insist it’s only because of the middle east unrest. Unbelievable stupidity. It is Obama and his policies, period.
Shell has spent five years and nearly $4 billion dollars on plans to explore for oil in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas.
And that 4 billion dollars of red ink, guess who picks up that tab? Consumers. All because of Obama and the zealots at the EPA. Everything is going according to Obama’s plan. Remember, he’s the one that gave the EPA unprecedented powers via the executive order, because congress would not go along with it.
“Hope and Change” baby… Four more years, eh?
