well, now I guess we get to see what giving the oil companies access to formerly preserved oil leases accomplishes.
for some long time I have been regarded the preserved oil as our last ditch military backup in the event of world war 3 - we shall see how much of that military reserve is extracted and sold in the world market. and what effect it has, what time scale it takes, and wether or not it benefits americans.
it was inevitable that every last possible site will be drilled. it seems a shame to do it now, when things will be so much worse in the future, and the oil worth so much more.
the cynicism and lack of principles of obama never ceases to repel me.
