I was talking about, and the thread talks about the result of his actions. |

The result of his actions, as I understand it, is that companies will have to stop polluting the environment or pay the price for not doing it. Why is that wrong? My other question was, is there a difference between when a lease is approved and when a drilling permit is issued? |

But his policies and goals were to increase the price of oil. We're not talking about pollution. "My other question was, is there a difference between when a lease is approved and when a drilling permit is issued?" i still don't know the answer to that and don't have enough interest to look it up for you. it makes no difference in the intent of Obama to see fossil fuel costs to skyrocket. |

My second question was an effort to answer your assertion that drilling was mostly attributed to policies of the Bush administration. In the article I posted, the drilling permits were issued in 2010 and 2011, which would have no relationship to Bush policies unless the leases were granted during his term. And Bush didn't have to deal with the Gulf oil spill. Obama used caution to hopefully, avoid a re-occurence. That slowed granting of new permits. |

What were his policies and goals that are different from cap and trade and caution in granting new permits? |

I can keep repeating, but if you don't want to see it i can't make you. I'm reminded of the CRA thread. |

Yeah, you never did understand that. And apparently you don't understand this. |

I think quadrupling our oil production would be a difficult goal to meet. Of course alternative doesn't meet our needs currently and may never completely. But, every bit of alternative energy reduces that 20% of the worlds oil that we consume, resulting in less energy dependance on our part. Right now alternative energy can't compete with oil without subsidies. But, fossil fuel is going to go nowhere but up in price, and we need to have a system in place to cushion that price rise. |

If we're going to dream let's dream about about allowing the markets to establish as much energy independence as they can using the sources they feel efficient and available. You might be surprised at what they find. "But, every bit of alternative energy reduces that 20% of the worlds oil that we consume,..." As does every bit of fossil fuels. |
