[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2518848, member: 3099"] If anyone wants to know what the .gov can do if it so chooses, just start digging on the hoops that the oil & gas industry has to jump through. It's been going on for years but Obama has put the practice of generating hoops for them on steroids. But you don't hear that talked about in public, you just have to dig it up yourself. Look for Oil Release and Contingency Plans, Environmental Impact Statements, etc. Read the agreements and look at all the strings they put in there. These sort of things even have to be done prior to the transfer of existing assets to a company that wants to buy them from a current operator. Not just on new exploration like everyone thinks. It's utterly astounding that the oil companies even bother with the mountains of bull$hit that they have to deal with, and if it wasn't in their way we would likely never have to import a drop of anything. Just export to our allies. And this only accounts for MMS and BLM. Throw in the SEC, IRS, OSHA and EPA. If you are inclined to believe Obama when he says we've drilled more than ever before, don't! Because it's a bald face lie. [/QUOTE]
