Now Can We Drill In Alaska?

Energy Policy: Alaska's governor attacks President Obama's hostility to oil states and warns that ever-higher oil prices will doom economic recovery.
The polar bears are doing fine. The American economy is not.
He didn't say "drill, baby, drill" in so many words, but the point made by Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell, Sarah Palin's successor, in a speech at the National Press Club was the same.
"This is the moment our government must re-examine its 'no new wells' policy when it comes to oil exploration and development here at home," Parnell said in a speech in which he declared the Obama administration "openly hostile" to oil-producing states.
As we have noted, the administration's mindless pursuit of green energy at all costs is coupled with an unwillingness to put downward pressure on oil prices by increasing domestic supply, leaving the U.S. perilously dependent on Iran, Libya, Venezuela and the rest.
As crude tops $100 a barrel, Parnell noted, "the U.S. foolishly imports more than 63% of its oil. That leaves us vulnerable to the economic shock of disruption of these oil supplies, and it drives down that economic recovery." Indeed, we are hemorrhaging jobs and revenues to overseas thugs.
Kliphnote: The left wants higher gas/oil prices.
That will "force" people to drive smaller green cars.
This is what they want.
They don't want "oil independence", they want
NO oil.
Don't expect more drilling any time soon.
Oh, maybe a token one but nothing serious.

If they can't tax oil higher let he market do it for you.
To hell with the economy.
To hell with letting people drive what they want.
But if high oil prices effect the economy Obama
may be a one term president.
