Energy and this administration's lack of it

[Interior Secretary Kenneth] Salazar Lied About Oil Production on Federal Lands  " “The oil production from onshore federal minerals was down last year from previous years,” Abbey said. He pointed out that oil producers decide where to produce and develop and emphasized that there are many approved permits that are not being utilized right now." 
Chu gives himself high marks on gas prices, drawing criticism  "Spicer acknowledges the lack of short-term fixes. But he thinks Obama has dragged his feet for years on such potential, long-term solutions as offshore drilling and the Keystone XL oil pipeline while spending taxpayer dollars on such yet-to-be proven, alternative-energy ventures as offshore wind and solar-energy companies, such as Solyndra. More video on this here.

" “He turned up his nose at areas of production we have in the U.S. and put all of his eggs in the basket of Solyndra, then says there’s no silver bullet. He wasted years," Spicer said."


Here is one we ran a few days ago and it fits well here: Red Tape Rising: Obama-Era Regulation at the Three-Year Mark  "During the first three years of the Obama Administration, 106 new major federal regulations added more than $46 billion per year in new costs for Americans."

Crony Capitalism and Algae Energy    "Why on earth did President Obama offer algae as a solution to America's energy problems? I suspect that if he could, he would press the rewind button and erase the comment, as it has exposed him to widespread ridicule from heavyweights like Charles Krauthammer.  But the question remains: why bring it up at all?"
