Federal taxes is constitutional. Offshore drilling banning or forcing isn't listing anywhere in the constitution (that I'm aware of). Therefore it is a state issue-or at least should be one.
The Department of Energy and the Department of the Interior also aren't mentioned in the Constitution.
So you want to repeal all federal regulations that aren't specifically listed in the Constitution?
You haven't thought this out too well, have you?
Sounds to me that he thought it out just fine. If a private enterprise wanted to build something that could have a devastating effect on you (mega-hog farm, oil rig, strip mine, nuclear power plant, etc.) you should have some sort of say whether or not it is built or what kind of guidelines should be put in place. Especially if it's going to destroy a business you spent a lifetime building.
