Obama Offshore Oil Drilling, Will GOP Cooperate Now? – Midweek Politics with David Pakman

admin — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 02:27:10 +0000

New oil and natural gas drilling announcements from the Obama administration, which will certainly fire up the base as Obama often refers to, but possibly in the wrong direction.

Given that Republicans have already said they will not cooperate with the President as a result of his work on healthcare, will opening up a little bit of oil drilling really help his cause with the GOP?

admin — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 00:51:07 +0000

On October 13, 2009 the Midland City Council held a public hearing in order to get citizen feedback on oil and gas drilling inside Midland city limits. The Midland Oil and Gas Task Force has reviewed the existing City of Midland ordinance regulating oil and gas drilling and production activities within the city limits and recently provided recommendations to the City Council. The recommendations were taken into consideration when drafting a modified ordinance to meet the goals of encouraging orderly development and growth of the city while accommodating the rights of mineral owners to reasonable access to their minerals and protecting the health, welfare, and safety of the public.

Lifting The Offshore Oil Drilling Ban, Feeding The Oil Habit

admin — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 00:46:20 +0000

President Bush and the Republican’t Nominee John McBush are both trying to exploit our pain at the gas pump into an opportunity to get even more profits for the oil companies by lifting the ban on offshore oil drilling.

This is an environmental disaster waiting to happen and it will NOT help lower gas prices. Worse yet it is an investment in continuing our dependence on oil and our reliance on oil producing countries that hate us.

It is time that we “turn and face the change” to alternative energy, renewable resources, Green Energy.
