xtralettucetomatoe580 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/01/04/trump-administration-dramatically-expands-offshore-drilling.html The Trump administration announced Thursday it is planning to dramatically expand offshore drilling, opening almost all U.S. coastal waters to potential oil and gas exploration and development. The Interior Department is proposing 47 possible auctions of drilling rights in stretches of the U.S. outer continental shelf. This includes the Pacific Ocean near California, opening up waters off the state's coast for the first time in three decades. “Responsibly developing our energy resources on the Outer Continental Shelf in a safe and well-regulated way is important to our economy and energy security, and it provides billions of dollars to fund the conservation of our coastlines, public lands and parks,” Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said in a statement. The five-year drilling plan also opens up new areas of exploration off the East Coast from Georgia to Maine, where this type of drilling has been blocked for decades. Many lawmakers in those states support offshore drilling, though the Democratic governors of North Carolina and Virginia oppose drilling off their state coasts. Florida’s Republican Gov. Rick Scott is also against offshore drilling in the Sunshine State. On the West Coast, three Democratic governors are opposed as well. Zinke announced the proposal Thursday, pitching it as a boost for jobs and economic security while providing billions of dollars to fund conservation along U.S. coastlines. "This is a draft program," Zinke said in a conference call with reporters. "Nothing is final yet, and our department is continuing to engage the American people to get to our final product." There was immediate backlash from a coalition of more than 60 environmental groups who said such unprecedented drilling would impose “severe and unacceptable harm” to the country’s oceans, coastal communities, public health and marine life. “These ocean waters are not President Trump’s personal playground. They belong to all Americans and the public want them preserved and protected, not sold off to multinational oil companies,” a statement from the leaders of the Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council, League of Conservation Voters and several other environmental groups said. “This extreme proposal is a shameful giveaway” to the oil and gas industry, which supported Trump in the election campaign, the groups added. The proposal comes less than a week after the Trump administration proposed to rewrite or kill rules on offshore oil and gas drilling imposed after the deadly Deepwater Horizon rig explosion and massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The Deepwater Horizon incident claimed the lives of 11 workers. Edited January 4, 2018 by xtralettucetomatoe580 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need no stinking legacy." The repeal of the Obamacare mandate fundamentally changes the political dynamics in the real world far from Washington, DC. Last year, an estimated 15 million Americans would have dropped out of Obamacare if they could. Now they can. Another 6.5 million paid a fine rather than sign up for coverage. This means that more than 20 million people directly benefit from the repeal of the mandate. Most of these people would prefer to buy insurance that meets their needs, but the Obamacare mandate did more than say that people had to buy insurance. It said they had to buy a very comprehensive and expensive set of benefits. Especially for young people, it was often far more insurance than they needed and far more costly than they could afford. The reality is that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to health insurance. Different people have different needs and preferences. This reality will create a demand for a variety of insurance options to meet a variety of needs. Some people will prefer more comprehensive coverage and higher premiums. Others will opt for less coverage and lower premiums. All will be covered against catastrophic events but day-to-day coverage will vary. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2018/01/04/the_ground_is_shifting_under_obamacare_135915.html Folks will be buying insurance like it's 1999. :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
