[QUOTE="Nraman, post: 1481107, member: 10001"] You are right, that was the reason they were pushing the so called cap and trade (for the money also) Shell just gave up trying to get a permit in the arctic. Preventing domestic production is and has been the official policy for a long time. If you wonder why, you might want to take a look towards the Middle East. Almost all of them have lobbies in DC and for a variety of reasons want us to be dependent in foreign oil, even though most of our imports come from Venezuela and Canada. The Green River Basin has 2-3 trillion barrels. More in the Gulf, Alaska, everywhere. In every case, there is a "good" reason why we must not produce that oil. While we find many reasons to prevent production, every other country in the world is doing their best to produce. We need to do some thinking here. IMHO the environmentalists are nothing but "useful idiots" in a bigger game. [/QUOTE]
