Then he jumps in his huge fossil fueled vehicle and drives to the golf […]

 

House GOP Pass Offshore Drilling Legislation

The EPA’s War on Energy Producer Range Resources

Posted on by Dave Blount

Even before America slit its wrists by electing him, Barack Hussein Obama gave us a preview of his energy policy by promising to use deliberately excessive regulation to bankrupt coal plants.

Liberal Energy Policy: Make All the Lights Go Out

Posted on by Dave Blount

If you think Obama’s energy policy of suppressing our own oil industry while giving other countries taxpayer money to develop theirs is insane, just hope he doesn’t inflict some of the truly deranged ideas being floated by moonbats like Daniel Weiss, senior fellow and director of “climate strategy” at the liberal think tank Center for […]

 

Chumps Weekly Address: Hey, Let’s Blame Oil Companies For High Prices!

Posted on by William Teach

The difference between a demagogue (interestingly, ye olde Thesaurus has the word “politician” as a synonym) and a leader: the first yammers on and blamestorms, the latter comes up with a real world plan to address the issue and attempts to resolve it.

Obama Regime Uses Tiny Lizard as Pretext to Strangle Texas Oil Industry

Posted on by Dave Blount

Obama et al. have used the spill by his crony capitalist bankrollers at BP as a pretext to shut down oil drilling in the gulf, and the exhaust fumes from an icebreaker to choke off Alaska, but how to justify suppressing land drilling in the desert wastes of West Texas? Here’s how: A three-inch lizard […]

 

As Oil Prices Rise, EPA Attempts to Shut Down Alaska Pipeline

Posted on by Dave Blount

While Comrade Obama lays the groundwork for Soviet-style show trials to blame the people who provide us with gasoline for the cost of their product, here’s an example of why prices won’t be coming down so long as liberals have their “boot on the neck” of the energy sector: Shell Oil Company has announced it […]

Obama Blames Everyone Else on Oil Prices

Posted on by Brian Garst

Despite public demand for increasing domestic oil production, the current White House has sent a clear signal that the U.S. will not be increasing production into the future, despite growing demand.

Good News! CFLs Now Reported To Release Cancer Causing Vapors!

Posted on by William Teach

This is the kind of story that deserved an “oh, snap!” headline, but, I refrained, but, it is certainly an eye opener.

Nothing better for a Saturday morning than an unhinged leftist, except for an unhinged leftist climate moron Can you get much more low-down than Scott Walker and his cronies?
