"ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- Shell Alaska has dropped plans to drill in the Arctic waters of the Beaufort Sea this year and will concentrate on obtaining permits for the 2012 season, company Vice President Pete Slaiby said Thursday.
The recent remand of air permits issued by the Environmental Protection Agency was the final driver behind the decision, Slaiby said at a news conference."
We force companies to "buy" leases to drill off shore. Then, after the mobster government gets the money, they don't allow them to drill! Normally, this would be called, THEFT.
The average price for 87 octane gasoline when barry took office was $1.86. Now it's $3.14. Where's the outrage and stories blaming him? Asking him what he's going to do about it??
Not that I think that the government should do anything about the price of gas. What they should do is quit hindering drilling, which actually raises the price of fuel.

"Sen. Begich, Obviously the Demos. Regime wants Alaska to suffer and the rest of us to get a wind mill to run our trucks. You need to change parties and help get votes through the Senate to save our Citizens and nation.
Abolish the EPA and nullify all regulations. States can take care of themselves cheaper and better than the Fed."
"How to predict Obama's every move: If it's against this country, that's his plan. He will accuse the "right" of everything HE'S guilty of."
