“Over the next five years, we should also lease more of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska for oil and gas production, and we should also tap more of our substantial natural gas reserves and work with the Canadian government to finally build the Alaska natural gas pipeline, delivering clean natural gas.”
"In ten years, we can reduce our dependence so that we no longer have to import oil from the Middle East or Venezuela. Number one, we need to expand domestic production and that means telling the oil companies the 68 million acres that they currently have leased that they’re not drilling, use them or lose them."

“For the past years, our energy policy in this country has been simply to let the special interests have their way—opening up loopholes for the oil companies and speculators so that they could reap record profits while the rest of us pay $4.00 a gallon."
These are all quotes that the then Senator Obama said while on the campaign trail to become president. Today he is running off to countries like Brazil that elected a Socialist President to help them drill and promising them that we would be their biggest customer and at the same time explaining why US companies should not and cannot drill in the US and why the pipeline would be a bad idea.
One simple question as we approach $4.00 a gallon for gas.....is President Obama a liar?
Why exactly can we not drill our own oil or use our reserves? Never made sense to me. By summer, the price will be close to $5.oo.
ReplyDeleteJanet, that is a great question.
