restoring ban on domestic drilling

[Klash]

I was watching Mike Wallace this morning and Obama's transition team's manager was on their saying some of the first things Obama was going to do was go through Bush's executive orders and decide whether he want's to completely undue them, just amend them or leave them alone. One he mentioned by name though that Obama is opposed to, is the Executive Order that lifted the domestic drilling ban. (interesting for those wondering if he's going to rule as a pragmatist or an liberal ideologue.)

pragmatist, people are there actions, that is how he runs his life and ran his campaign

barrell of oil has come down 90 bucks in 3 months

he's opposed to it because the influence on having an Energy Policy, which has not been worked out

he's not opposed to oil, coal, or nuclear

they are trying to figure out how too go forward to reach a goal, and it's affects 5-10-20 and fifty years down the road on jobs, economic growth, security, etc.

it is not an easy problem when you take into account now versus time

Really so when he restores the ban, he's not going to justify it with the "delicate ecosystem", "save the caribou" or some other b.s. environmentalist dogma? Betcha he does!!

No Klash,

It has to do with what is the best guess the world will look like in 50 years.

A. Worlwide we should have 9 billion people versus 6 billion, that is pretty much factual

B. What will the energy needs be for 9 billion and what is the best way too meet them, we know factually about what the needs will be

C. we do not know in what %'s from what commodities they will be met

Are we projecting? I've never heard him say anything like.

Correct. He already has enough people in committee to stop it.

Well, to be hopeful, it also depends on how influencial he is and by whom he's receptive. Unfortunately though, he's proven receptive to some pretty extreme, uh uhm, radical leftist.
