The practical effect is that you're not allowed to drive.
Based on your business success, I don't think you're stupid. I think you know it's the same thing - whether permits are so hard to get that it hasn't been done for 35 years or if permits don't exist. I think you're smart enough to understand that if you're honest with yourself.

It's not about the permits cost, after the gulf oil spill, new permits given out by the Obama Adminstration is down 65%.
Obama said in a recent speech that this administration is drilling more than either Bush or Clinton. While true, it's not because of Obama, it's because of permits given out during the Clinton and Bush administration. ( it takes a while to go from permit to oil producing )Obama just has to get credit for something, even if someone else is responsible for it.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
