Ba Rock Watch
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010You know, with all that Health Care crap flinging about, it became a hard time for me to find things the President does right. I figured he was due for some brownie points anyway.
Here’s the particular brownie point: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/31/obama-unveil-offshore-oil-drilling-plans/?test=latestnews
This show his plan on new offshore oil drilling. You read that right. Offshore Oil Drilling. From a Democratic (some might say Socialist) President?
Stay with me here.
Most people here with half a brain would say that we need to improve our domestic supply of oil, global climate change or not. The first reason is mentioned in the slowly editing Book 2 of BAM; the National Security issue. It’s ethically wonky to have people who hate your guts be your main supplier of the fuel you need to function. The other reason is just as great: The need to have an oil supply even though you plan to wean your energy policy off oil. As much as the environmentalists wish this to happen, it’s flat out suicide to do a clean shift from oil to clean energy. It’s just asking for disaster if stuff like Cap and Trade is passed. (And God help us if the same Dick Moves used for Health Care is used here.)
We need to have our oil supply be all domestic before we can work on reducing our need for oil. And we won’t be able to completely eliminate our need for oil, but we can replace it with other sources to the point where we won’t need so much. And in this recent plan for offshore oil drilling, Ba Rock shows that he feels the same way.
Now then, if we could get him to tone down of the financial reform. Most of us don’t need Government to be that fricking big.
