He imposed the moratorium that limited new offshore drilling permits. And GHW Bush added his own Executive Order. Two wacky environmental extremists! You gotta love the classic Palin/Fox "blame the environmentalists" argument. added: Quote:

The fact that the moratorium limiting permits to drill on the OCS goes back to 1981? Or the fact that the Financial Services Modernization Act effectively repealed Glass Steagall and tore down the wall between commercial banking and investment banking? |

It is apparent you enjoy each other immensely but your banter is destroying discourse.

Classicman makes a comment: ...their requests to drill in shallower water were refused. Something about environmental concerns. hmmmAnd I point out that it goes back to Reagan's moratorium. along with MHO that the blame the environmentalist game is a load of crap as well. |

Who fucking cares?! Not everyone plays team politics, some actually want to DISCUSS THE ISSUES. It was Reagan that offered up the last round of amnesty for illegal aliens - doesn't stop you from carping that the conservatives are all opposed to it.

Close to shore drilling has been limited for awhile, probably 'not in my back yard' and 'out of sight, out of mind' thinking. Whereas out in deep water, it couldn't possibly mess up the shore areas, could it?

Through this annual process, Congress chose to deny the funding necessary to conduct leasing of new offshore areas to oil companies. The restrictions were renewed annually. This went on until recently through both R & D led congresses until the price for oil skyrocketed. There have been several legislative efforts to eliminate them over the last couple years by the R's, but none none have been successful. They have been rebuked by the environmentally conscious D's and their majority in the house.
