Of course, all politicians want to pose for the cameras and look like they are going after the “Big Bad Oil Companies” Very little action actually happens (None should happen) that goes after the companies. It all goes back to how uneducated the American people are about the issues: they don’t actually know what is going on, but they know a good story when they see one and the “Big Oil is Evil” myth is certainly emotionally satisfying. It just isn’t very rational.

Here in Florida, Nelson and Martinez are tools of the liberal agenda, wrought by all of the Northeners who have migrated here over the years (no offense intended to those who reside in northern states, I’m just stating a fact akin to the current woes of Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, and Oregon, who have recently experienced a decided shift towards socialism due to the influx of refugees from the fiscal failures or California). The reluctance of these two idiots to allow safe, environmentally-safe exploitation of oil and gas resources off of our coasts is simply pandering to the lowest denominator of ecotards. There can be no other rational reason. Modern drilling and extraction of petrochemicals is clean and safe.

Hell, above and beyond “safe,” drilling and extraction and the platforms provide a microcosm for fish and sealife so large that it borders on a macrocosm. Sports fishermen flock to oil/gas rigs off of the MS, LA, and TX coasts because those structures provide shelter to species low on the food chain that attract tasty fish. And that is not unlike the oil pipelines in AK, which have caused mammalian species to flourish because of the higher ambient heat provided by the transmission lines.

But the Democrats would never allow reality to intrude on their dystopian dream of eternally funding the terrorist regimes.

The best part of that article was the Oil Companies’ response to the allegations. There was “no wrongdoing on our employee’s part” and “we do not believe we are the focus of this investigation”. It goes back to your children not listening to their parents analogy….it was as if a few children had been doing something naughty and when caught all of them instantly cry “I DIDN’T DO IT!”

Thank you, that article gave me quite a chuckle.
