President Obama and the IEA first explained this irresponsible action by noting a supply disruption as a result of the war in Libya. However, this disruption does not justify the depletion of the SPR, and the Administration doesn't have the legal rationale, either. The White House slightly changed its tune late yesterday when Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters it was meant as protection against increasing gas prices over the summer driving season."
Does anybody think this is going to have an affect for a long period of time. the only thing this will do is reduce the amount of reserve we have when there is a real emaergency. I think this is a ploy on the part of Mr. Obama to make his poll ratings go up for the summer and he can say look what I did for you. Just like "I shot Osama Bin Laden."
Why are we not taalking seriously about drilling in the Bakkens and other oil reserves in our own nation? Duh! It is the environmentalists who fight for mother earth. It is okay if other countries drill, even in the Gulf Of Mexico, but not us. We must take the "moral" high road and save the planet. Damn the human population, they are the ones who destroyed it in the first place,, let them do without.
Well I say enough. We cannot replace oil with electric if we are closing power plants.(see my earlier post) Solar and Wind make up less than 8% of the current energy production and is projected to only reach a maximum of 25%. How will we recharge our electrric cars. We will not make up the short fall of demand by releasing a few barrels for the STR. We are being dupped by this administration because they believe we are stupid enough to fall for thier "truth" which is a lie. Many of the current Republicans are just as bad as Democrats because they believe thay have the power to rule over us.
Are we sheep or are we Americans. Take a stand an fight the Elitists in government. Let's take back our Nation the land of the free and the home of the brave, where opportunity abounds and people can still make something of thier lives.
God Bless America!!!
