Judge Restores Obama Era Drilling Ban In The Arctic

[skews13]

The decision issued late Friday by U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason leaves intact President Barack Obama’s policies putting the Arctic’s Chukchi Sea, part of the Arctic’s Beaufort Sea and a large swath of Atlantic Ocean off the U.S. East Coast off-limits to oil leasing.

Trump’s attempt to undo Obama’s protections was “unlawful” and a violation of the federal Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, Gleason ruled. Presidents have the power under that law to withdraw areas from the national oil and gas leasing program, as Obama did, but only Congress has the power to add areas to the leasing program, she said.

Just a bump in the road, SCOTUS will overturn it.

Actually, they won't. The law clearly states Congress has to OK areas added to the leasing program. Trump can't do it by executive order.

Leftists hate drilling, tout unproven alternatives,,and have no problem letting their elitist masters put as big a carbon footprint as they want.

Does it give you headaches being as fucking stupid as you are?


There is a great irony that spans the presidential terms of George W. Bush and Barack Obama. President Bush, widely viewed as a Texas oil man, presided over eight straight years of declining U.S. crude oil production. In the year 2000, just before President Bush took office, U.S. crude oil production averaged 5.8 million barrels per day (bpd) according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA). During President Bush's last year in office, 2008, U.S. crude oil production averaged 5.0 million bpd.

The irony is that President Obama - who is not viewed as a friend of the oil and gas industry - has presided over rising oil production in each of the seven years he has been in office. (On a separate note, expect that streak to be broken in 2016). From that low point in 2008, U.S. oil production has grown each year to reach 9.4 million bpd in 2015 -- a gain of 88% during Obama's presidency. This is in fact the largest domestic oil production increase during any presidency in U.S. history.

President Obama has presided over the largest crude oil production gain of any president in U.S. history.

Seven years ago, we made the single biggest investment in clean energy in our history. Here are the results. In fields from Iowa to Texas, wind power is now cheaper than dirtier, conventional power. On rooftops from Arizona to New York, solar is saving Americans tens of millions of dollars a year on their energy bills, and employs more Americans than coal — in jobs that pay better than average. We’re taking steps to give homeowners the freedom to generate and store their own energy — something environmentalists and Tea Partiers have teamed up to support. Meanwhile, we’ve cut our imports of foreign oil by nearly sixty percent, and cut carbon pollution more than any other country on Earth."

You and your families must be exterminated before you kill tens of millions if not billions.

More oil guzzling liberals pretending they don't guzzle oil.

Our daily dose of liberal hypocrisy.

Obama presided over the largest crude oil production because it was all done on private lands and he could not touch it. As for solar on roofs, that’s proven and I applaud it. However, what about solar or water keeping our trucks and commuters moving? I am anti foreign oil dependence.

That's factually misstated. Trump is not "adding" to the leasing program. He is simply removing The Coon's executive order, which all Presidents
have the right to do. The law just goes back to how things were before Zero's EO.

Sorry 'Bout that. Just another crooked judge that needs to be corrected.
