If we the people would make the ‘decison’ to force the Obama Administration to release Oil and Gas drilling leases, WHERE THE OIL and GAS IS, the price of energy would plummet because there are many HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of barrels of crude oil and untold volumes of natural gas in the Western Federal Lands and Offshore. The US Government IS selling leases all over America and even offshore in areas that they are confidently sure there is no Oil or Gas.

Numerous studies have documented how the grossly misnamed Affordable Energy Act of 2009, also known as Cap and Trade or more accurately Cap and Tax, will raise the cost of energy for every American. If the cost of all energy rises dramatically, will industrial production stay in this country or will it move to China or India that is not constrained by the cost of energy regulations? China and India already enjoy a significant cost advantage over American producers in many fields; this will just exacerbate that advantage.

God created all sorts of energy resources, only a few of which have been developed and utilized to drive our economy. Energy is the life blood of freedom and it is what allows our economy to produce individual wealth for all Americans. And, this is why energy, in all forms, is so very important to the average working American. Cheap inexpensive oil is what results in the costs of everything to go down to reasonable affordable levels for us all. When energy is inexpensive it is also an incentive for Americans to start new small businesses, because then it is easier to make a good profit, and therefore lower energy costs results in hundreds of thousands of new jobs and allows for significant increases in money available for wages on the shop floor or out in the field.

A recent study concluded that new development of energy resources in the OCS and on federal lands could generate $1.7 trillion in new public revenues
A revitalized exploration and production program could add 160,000 jobs to our nation’s damaged economy.
Domestic production will reduce reliance on energy imports and strengthen our nation’s energy security.

The U.S. House of Representatives may vote this Friday on the “American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009” (the Waxman-Markey bill). We need the many voices of the Partnership for America’s Energy Security to write and call your legislators, urging them to oppose this harmful and misguided legislation.
Addressing climate change is an important issue, and the U.S. oil and natural gas industry has made substantial commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The industry supports balanced legislation to reduce greenhouse gases and replace the patchwork of state and federal regulatory programs, but the Waxman-Markey bill is not the answer. This hastily drafted legislation would:
Significantly increase consumer and business costs for gasoline and other fuels;

Representatives Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Ed Markey (D-MA) modified their global warming proposal from the draft version published on March 31. For the most part, the changes focused on the distribution of the allowance revenue–the equivalent of tax revenue.
There was also a slight easing of targeted emissions reductions for 2020, which resulted in a marginally lower economic impact. However, the new distribution of allowances created a less efficient pattern of government expenditures and more than offset the gain from the lower cap for 2020.

Late last month, President Obama sent an outline of his 2010 budget to Congress, and it contained a dire threat to our nation’s economy and energy security. The Administration is proposing at least $400 billion in new taxes and fees on the oil and natural gas industry, which would result in:

The consumer cost of gasoline, diesel and all energy products, which will also increase costs on ALL GOODS and services, including groceries and clothing and all other products of need and sustenance, are going up and have been going up for about a month now despite growing supplies of crude around the world.
Now that begs the question why? There are VLCCs (Very Large Crude Carriers = Super Tankers) at anchor around the world storing billions of barrels of crude. Crude oil land storage facilities around the world are bulging at the seams with crude. So why are the prices on energy going up?
The reason is because the American people have stopped DEMANDING that the U.S. Congress and the Administration allow leases for drilling and exploration to go ahead out west, like in Utah, or offshore. Secretary of the Interior Salazar has stopped leases. It takes almost a decade for new sources of oil and natural gas to be found, harvested and structures created to be brought to market. This means that the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS, perhaps even a Trillion barrels of oil and gas

“The 77 parcels that the Bush administration offered on the doorsteps of some of our national icons raised several troubling questions. I have directed the BLM not to accept the bids. We will take time to review the processes behind their inclusion in the lease sale,” he told reporters in a teleconference.
Salazar indicated that he does not expect his decision to be legally challenged. “The government contract is not formally completed until the BLM accepts the bids, which has not happened in this case,” he said. Payments for the winning bids on the 77 parcels will be returned and leasing will proceed on the 39 remaining tracts from the sale, he added.
The decision was the secretary’s second action involving a BLM oil and gas lease sale in less than a week. He ordered the DOI agency on Feb. 2 to remove eight tracts from a Feb. 3 lease sale after Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal expressed concerns about them (OGJ Online, Feb. 4, 2009). The offering of 137 remaining parcels went ahead as scheduled, raising nearly $2.4 million from the sale of leasing rights and from rental fees on 112 parcels.

America needs more and better sources of energy. That’s not up for discussion. But what a firestorm has erupted over what those sources should be!
Despite public opinion (e.g. with prices down, support for offshore drilling remains high—at 68%), America’s energy solutions continue to be dictated and repressed by Hard Left environmentalist groups—and they are increasingly turning to the courts to enforce their liberal, anti-energy agenda.
