Obama Administration Blocking 103 Gulf Drilling Permits
As oil prices continue to climb, a backlog of more than 100 offshore drilling plans for the Gulf of Mexico are awaiting approval from the Obama administration, according to federal data.

The federal government has not approved a single new exploratory drilling plan in the Gulf of Mexico since lifting its deepwater drilling moratorium on Oct. 12. There are currently 103 plans awaiting review by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement.

The information reveals that the Obama administration — not the oil industry — is the culprit for the slowdown of drilling activity in the Gulf. The Gulf of Mexico accounts for more than 25 percent of domestic oil production.

“These new findings prove that BOEMRE cannot claim it isn’t receiving job-creating plans from oil exploration and production companies,” said Gregory Rusovich, chairman of the Business Council of Greater New Orleans and the River Region.

“The plans are there. Until BOEMRE reviews the 103 plans awaiting approval, our economy’s stability remains in jeopardy.”

Re: Obama Administration Blocking 103 Gulf Drilling Permits
Isn't it great, finally someone whom does not cave into big oil. There are other sources that can be used including held back technology. It may be painful getting there, but fucking up our environment further is no longer a viable alternative, it is too far gone already. You would not believe the number of drilled wells that are capped and not pumping. I have family in oil and things are not as you would imagine.

Re: Obama Administration Blocking 103 Gulf Drilling Permits
More than that is in the works buddy. I work offshore and I have talked to many people offshore. The government is not only blocking drilling permits but they are also blocking construction permits. So no new platforms or pipelines are going to be put in place due to BP and the government. The exploration industry is also crippled too because no one wants to even spend a dime looking for oil or gas since You cant drill for it. I used to have a great career where the work potential was unlimited but that all ended when Obama was elected. I have now had my small salary canceled and have only worked 3 weeks in the last 4 months. I am looking forward to oil going up beyond 200 dollars a barrel because the idiot Obama supporters enjoy watching Me squirm and so I guess I'll laugh when food prices go beyond reach for those envious pieces of shit. Hey I'll be hurting too but then again misery loves company and the typical Obama supporter taught Me that.

Obama took more money from BP and big oil than any other politician. It has nothing to do with the environment. Obama wants to raise the price of gas so he can get people to agree with his Cap & Tax scheme. He's admitted the same.

The health of the GULF? Are You fucking serious? This has nothing to do with the health of the gulf and everything to do with picking the winners in the race. The MMS is denying permits for companies that are in direct competition to favored companies owned by political insiders. If You can't see that one little fact then You seriously need to open up Your eyes. The same thing is going on in the coal industry and the power industry. Look around You the evidence is all around us especially with all the rolling black outs.

Wrong again. Besides caving monetarily and deceiving the public about the bullshit 20 billion dollar fund that was never established, Obama allowed BP to lie about the amount of oil spilled. He also allowed it to use Corexit in the Gulf even though it's toxic. I could go on but you get the point.
