Exactly Off, because this looks to me to be a way for the gob'ment to support General Gob'ment Motors and Suburban/Tahoe production for years and needless years. I feel for the folks (our lil childrens') on the back end who will be overpaying full value when we needlessly and stupidly run out so much sooner of cheap gas. I suppose it's easier to act, and than think: as opposed to the reverse. I'd given up on Bush/Cheney who supported big oil due to their investment and personal history's: but I had higher hopes for change from Obamas group.
ps, I could easily support increased drilling as part of an overall plan that included reduced consumption as well so as to not have to be licking Arab (Canadian, Mexican, and Venzualan as well) sack in the coming years....so fucking sad, stupid and wastefully needless.
You'll still be licking sack anyway, but...
