“We are joining with Energy Citizens to oppose this radical climate change legislation,” said Brian Britton of the Greely 9-12 project. “We support clean energy, but we also believe that we need to drill here and drill now, and we do not support Cap and Trade. We think it is important to join with other conservative groups when we see legislation that will destroy our economy.”
“One thing the Democrats did to defeat Republicans in the 2008 election was to join groups with differing interests in the common goal of supporting the liberal agenda. We need to work together with people of like mind to defeat the liberal agenda,” said Britton.

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.

But wind power, even offshore wind power, isn’t the same as coal or nuclear. Offshore wind farms in Europe are lucky to generate 40% of their listed capacity. So that limits that mid-Atlantic resource to about 74 gigawatts. And that doesn’t even consider the technical and economic hurdles that still dog offshore wind power and make it less competitive than its onshore cousin.

As the financial landscape of the U.S. changes, people may be looking around for different strategies to protect their wealth.
Writing on his blog, former U.S. representative from Maryland Bob Bauman suggests that those who would like to make sure their assets are safe from taxes and similar threats may want to consider creating an offshore asset protection trust (APT).
Bauman points out that President-elect Barack Obama sponsored the Anti-Tax Haven Act in 2007, which gives the Treasury Secretary the power to issue rules that limit how Americans manage their money offshore.
He suggests that an APT offers both a strong level of defense for your assets and a robust privacy guarantee.

This afternoon this harmless ol’Capt Karl attempted to contract Senator Russ Feingold’s office with regards to the House letting the offshore oil and gas ban expiring. I started to ask what the Senator’s position was on this matter and, after looking up the information they have on me in their computer database, the staffer hung up on me. When I redialed the phone just rang and rang and was not picked up.

Congressman Steve Kagen, along with other Congressional Representatives from the State of Wisconsin, have voted to keep BILLIONS of barrels of oil just out of reach of our oil companies. This obviously means that supply will remain tight and very likely get even tighter when our economy picks up and the demand for oil, the life blood of prosperity and wealth creation, picks back up. Without the freedom to drill for our offshore oil our economy may never recover, especially if the U.S. Congress starts regulating everything and screwing everything up like they always do.

Currently, the environmental opposition is mounting an aggressive campaign to keep the OCS closed and we need your help! The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) is home to huge, untapped resources, but access is currently restricted, slowing the crucial growth and development urgently needed to meet today’s energy demands. To unleash the promise of our domestic reserves, your voice is needed now to help open critical areas of the (OCS) for petroleum exploration and production in the near future.

That’s because the plan is a Democratic giveaway. New production on offshore federal lands is left to state legislatures, and then in only four coastal states. The regulatory hurdles are huge. And the bill bars drilling within 50 miles of the coast — putting off limits some of the most productive areas. Alaska’s oil-rich Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is still a no-go.
The highlight is instead $84 billion in tax credits, subsidies and federal handouts for alternative fuels and renewables. The Gang of 10 intends to pay for all this in part by raising taxes on . . . oil companies! The Sierra Club couldn’t have penned it better. And so the Republican Five has potentially given antidrilling Democrats the political cover they need to neutralize energy through November.

The “bipartisan” Republican senators have undercut these efforts, and boosted Ms. Landrieu. They’ve even put a smile on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s face. He’d been struggling to tamp down the energy debate through November, where he hopes to increase his majority and permanently shelve drilling. He’s now counting on the Gang to fruitlessly continue “negotiations” straight through the Senate’s short September session and solve his problem for him.
Not one of the five Republicans in the Gang is facing a tough election this year. That’s the so

Dave Obey (D-WI) and his Democrat partners work hard to keep Gasoline as expensive as possible by ensuring that the supply of domestic sources are not tapped. Wisconsin families can thank Mr. Obey for high prices on not only energy but also food and all needs for living.
