Bush-era offshore drilling plan is set aside

[Contrary1]

Bite this one, Cheney. :rofl:

"WASHINGTON - The Obama administration on Tuesday overturned another Bush-era energy policy, setting aside a draft plan to allow drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

"To establish an orderly process that allows us to make wise decisions based on sound information, we need to set aside" the plan "and create our own timeline," Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced in a statement.

Alleging that the Bush administration "had torpedoed" offshore renewable energy in favor of oil and natural gas, Salazar said he was extending the public comment period by 6 months.

"The additional time we are providing will give states, stakeholders, and affected communities the opportunity to provide input on the future of our offshore areas," he said..."

1. Every last thing this ridiculous administration touched...

Should be fully examined and questioned to the last possible degree!

I'm more than sick of all the bullshit BushCo tried to feed us! I'm sure we will be uncovering lies and other dirty deeds for years to come!
