Future President Sarah Palin on America's energy policy and Environmentalist's destroying the Enviroment..
God Bless you Sarah..

This is a message to extreme “environmentalists” who hypocritically protest domestic energy production offshore and onshore. There is nothing “clean and green” about your efforts. Look, here’s the deal: when you lock up our land, you outsource jobs and opportunity away from America and into foreign countries that are making us beholden to them. Some of these countries don’t like America. Some of these countries don’t care for planet earth like we do – as evidenced by our stricter environmental standards.
With your nonsensical efforts to lock up safer drilling areas, all you’re doing is outsourcing energy development, which makes us more controlled by foreign countries, less safe, and less prosperous on a dirtier planet. Your hypocrisy is showing. You’re not preventing environmental hazards; you’re outsourcing them and making drilling more dangerous.
Extreme deep water drilling is not the preferred choice to meet our country’s energy needs, but your protests and lawsuits and lies about onshore and shallow water drilling have locked up safer areas. It’s catching up with you. The tragic, unprecedented deep water Gulf oil spill proves it.
We need permission to drill in safer areas, including the uninhabited arctic land of ANWR. It takes just a tiny footprint – equivalent to the size of LA’s airport – to tap America’s rich and plentiful oil and gas up north. ANWR’s drilling footprint is like a postage stamp on a football field.
But it’s not just ANWR; it’s our Petroleum Reserve, too. As Governor Sean Parnell noted today in the Wall Street Journal:
“Federal agencies are also now blocking oil development in the National Petroleum Reserve—Alaska.
Although familiar with ANWR, most Americans are less likely to know about NPR-A and how vital it is to our energy security. Given recent developments, it’s time to elevate the position this area holds in our national discourse.
NPR-A, a 23 million acre stretch of Alaska’s North Slope, was set aside by President Warren Harding in 1923 for the specific purpose of supplying our country and military with oil and gas. Since 1976 it has been administered by the Department of the Interior, and since 1980 it has been theoretically open for development. The most recent estimates indicate that it holds 12 billion barrels of oil and 73 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
In addition to containing enormous hydrocarbons, NPR-A is very close to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, which means that there would be relatively little additional infrastructure needed to bring this new oil to our domestic market.
But even here, progress has been stalled.”
Radical environmentalists: you are damaging the planet with your efforts to lock up safer drilling areas. There’s nothing clean and green about your misguided, nonsensical radicalism, and Americans are on to you as we question your true motives.
- Sarah Palin

Jesse..., did you even read Sara's article? Let me briefly summarize it for you. By being allowed to drill for oil on a land mass approx. the size of LAX we could tap 1 billion+ barrels of oil here in our own country with no threat to the environment, a reserve that I believe is greater than the entire Middle East.
Why is she the only politician making this fact know and for what possible reason would you feel threatened by this? Just how could the fact that this country needs to bow to no one for our energy needs be upsetting to anyone?
Please explain.

The idea that deep horizon is a result of environmental activism is insane..
It's a straw man, to put it kindly (which is more than you deserve here)
Have you any idea how many leases in shallow water and on land are being held by oil giants undrilled?
So many in fact that they are about to lose a big block of them in alaska (exxon and others) .
The deal here is they secure these leases and use it to fluff their balances as assetts, but they dont go into production because it would glut the market and drive down the price of oil and or natural gas.
there is no need to drill in super high risk situations like Horizon, especially while decieving the public the regulators about the risk and not being tooled to deal with catastophic failures.
Horizon was drilling into the hottest, biggest reserve there is, but it's under enormous preasure and VERY hard to contain. The flip side of that for BP is that it potentially the highest producing field ever struck. (incidently, they were not going to bring this well into production, the idea was a tap it and cap it). If they dont at least tap these reserves they run the risk of losing the lease.
Twas greed that opened this hole in the earth daddyooo...not environmentalists.
There are plenty of leases sitting untapped right now, fileds that are low risk and potentially high producing, but they wont drill them at the risk of over producing product and driving down the price.
It's like a game of stratego, it's about amasing "potential" through securing leases against the future..and it's a little complicated which is why low information tea baggers like you dont seem to get it and instead go aroung blowing your tom toms and banging your flutes every time Caribou Barbie comes up with a new bumper sticker.

To Scott's tag-team partner...
"Twas greed that opened this hole in the earth daddyooo...not environmentalists."
Sure about that braintrust?
http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2010/04/01-1
"The ban will remain for the Pacific coast from California to Washington, where political opposition has been strongest, and a planned sale of leases in the environmentally sensitive Bristol Bay area of Alaska will be cancelled.
Moreover, while areas available for exploration in the Gulf of Mexico will be greatly expanded - contingent on approval by the US Congress - officials said that a buffer will be imposed off the Florida and Alabama shorelines to ensure that rigs will not be visible from land."

Oh pleeaase.., no one goes from semi-literate rants to actual legible replies in a single post and I've never encountered anyone who needs more help than yourself.
But that's neither here or there at the moment. The subject is environmentalists ruining the environment and forcing America to be dependent on foreign sources of oil. Yourself & co made a seemingly informed rebuttal that took half a yawn to discredit.
I guess that puts the ball back in your court now doesn't it?

I think what's mystifing to you is that I actually think about shit and then lay it out in my own words...
whereas you copy shit from google searches and add a snarky little 5 word addendum at the end, basically taking credit for other peoples work.
You've never, in all tis time, posted a single original piece or shown that you have any capacity for critical thinking. Yer kinda like a lazy little robot, a nasty, lazy little robot at that..
But I still luvs ya sugar!!!

I'm not going to respond to your stupidity any longer. Millions of lives are being ruined, and entire ecosystem may be destroyed forever and you in all you endless compassion and wisdom are spending your time running interference for the people who are directly responsible for this tragedy. And that just about sums you up perfectly.

maybe when you get over your feigned heartache you can explain to the kids just how it is that leasing the shelf to a British company so they can give us pennies on the dollar and then ship the oil to China is going to bring us "energy independence".
I'm sure you can spin it like that, or rather you can find some loon on the net who can spin it like that and then you post thier nonsense as if it was your own.

BTW, I dont run interference for anybody, thats YOU!...the official spokesperson for the Likes of Randy Paul and Caribou Barbie...
I think Obamas energy policy is a travesty, he's a corporatist through and through when it comes to energy.
Sarah is even worse because she's an Unregulated, anti government Corporatist, just the sort of selfish, elitist dumbass thinking that brought us the Gulf Tragedy we're experiencing right now.
I mean, this is your Tea Bagger Dream come true!!!
Corporations runing amok unregulated!!
It's what makes a Robust Economy!!
Right?
when it come to energy policy, I'm a full blown Socialist.
If we really were serious about energy independence we would have NATIONALIZED our energy resources a long, long time ago.
