Comments on: Congress will end the OCS moratorium—now what? http://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/2008/09/24/congress-will-end-the-ocs-moratoriumnow-what/ Institute for Energy Research Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:06:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Fred Thompson http://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/2008/09/24/congress-will-end-the-ocs-moratoriumnow-what/comment-page-2/#comment-3264 Fred Thompson Thu, 29 Apr 2010 19:24:16 +0000 http://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/2008/09/24/congress-will-end-the-ocs-moratoriumnow-what/#comment-3264 Simply put, moving forward with the Minerals Management Services (MMS) Preliminary Revised 2007-2012 Five-Year Program will: Create real jobs. Provide substantial new domestic sources of energy. Contribute to our nation’s security and economic growth. Last week’s explosion and sinking of the offshore rig Deepwater Horizon was a tragic event by any measure. Our thoughts are with the families, colleagues, and friends of Deepwater Horizon workers who were injured or lost at sea. The oil and natural gas industry supports strong safety regulations and practices. It is not yet known what caused this tragedy, but the results of investigations by the U.S. Coast Guard and other agencies will be used to reduce the chances that such an event will occur again. It is worth noting the Deepwater Horizon was one of five Transocean ships given safety awards by the U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) in 2009. Unfortunately, some opponents of oil and natural gas are pointing to this highly unusual event to argue that President Obama and the MMS should pull back from their plan to expand exploration for new sources of domestic energy. It is vital that we voice our support for the President’s plan to develop domestic energy in offshore areas. Simply put, moving forward with the Minerals Management Services (MMS) Preliminary Revised 2007-2012 Five-Year Program will:

Create real jobs.
Provide substantial new domestic sources of energy.

We have to start to produce not only energy,but how about things that we use everyday that has been outsourced such as clothing, appliances small and large. Yes things that we use and buy everyday. I once read for ever billion dollars of imports we could create 20,000 jobs at $20.00 an hour. Think about it,let's put the money in peoples hands that will create jobs in the U.S.A.. Lets create an American pie that evryone can if they are willing to work can have a piece of it.

Real people drive cars, turn on their heat and airconditions after a hard day at work. We water our grass and plants and of course we take showers. Not every are like Robert Redford and get to hop on a horse and go into the Utah outback or the Rockies in Montana becsuse we have millions. I love Utah and Montana becsuse I'm from Washingto State and have lived in Californ- ia for the last 10 years. Califorinia is also a great state and except for those who have wealth like: Senator Finestine, Boxer, Redford and the Liberals that want you to think your like them, We need to take America Back in 2010. FLIP Congress both in Washington DC and California. We don't need a bankrupt America like how they have done to California. Vote out the en- cumbants and install real people for what our Constitution stands for. thanks Bill, We need to FLIP the Senate and Congress in 2010 and end the Liberal

I think that our government, and our legislators are out of their minds. Starting from Obama down, do not represent us anymore. They represent themselves. This is a intolerable situation, and these people need to be held accountable, or we will fire them, both parties. The middle class will eventually be funding the poor who refuse to work, and the uber rich. This situation clearly has to change, before these idiots make this country into a third world country. Wake up and write to the idiots, change their minds. And yes, threaten to vote them out. I am tired of the mind dribble coming from our legislators and the feds, and the president.
