Trump erases offshore drilling rules enacted after BP oil spill

[Peter1469]

Environmental studies don't make many decisions on an oil platform, but you're one of those people who's seldom right and never wrong.

Enviro studies are done prior to placing a new well.

Someone selling their shares really has very little to do with anything other than trying to turn the situation into a pointy-hat conspiracy.

You likely don't understand that Trump and Obama made their decisions for a similar reason -- to increase our oil output in order to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. You post all manner of fluffy ideology on a daily basis, but you don't learn. You have no clue how the world really works, and you seem unable to comprehend the bottom line in the issues you present.

I'm guessing your last comment was supposed to be some sort of insult, but I live in Kansas -- home to Koch Industries -- my daughter rides motorcycles with one of the Koch's grandsons, and Koch Industries is one of my clients. So, I'll take that comment as a compliment -- Kansas loves the Kochs. LOL We know all the lies about them are just that -- lies.

It wasn't meant to be an insult unlike the barrage of insults you give me on a day to day basis. It was stated as a matter of fact. Because it was obvious from the beginning that you were corporate cheerleading in an abnormal fashion.

Good.

We need to do everything we can to remain energy independent.

You seriously don't have a clue. Of course your "Koch" comment was intended to be an insult -- otherwise, why post it? You churn out rote memes that you can't back up when asked to explain. You say things like "corporate cheerleeding" instead of addressing specific issues. You've got a hangup about "corporations" so you use similar terms (or cite the Kochs) and then backpedal as fast as you can when anyone challenges your comments.

Why not just have a normal conversation? Why attack everything? You're so sure renewables are the answer that you won't even address the problems with them. You're so sure nuclear isn't the answer that you won't hear evidence in its favor. You take a blinders-on approach to every discussion. That's anti-intellectual reasoning.

How can you expect to be taken seriously when you do that?

Why not just post your threads and then discuss the pros and cons as posters present them? Without all the snarky comments? I'm just making a friendly suggestion that I feel would further discussion. When someone challenges your posts, why not reasonably discuss their comments? Isn't that was this board is for?

You just did everything in that post that you are accusing me of. LoL. You are working hard though on telling me I am the opposite of what I am, and do the opposite of what I do. You are free to keep doing that if you want to, no one will stop you, have a good time now.

Drill baby, drill...$#@! the consequences.

...and suffer the consequences.

There needs to be safety standards and companies need to use "best-in-practice" methods to safely drill. The oil industry knows how to do it safely and they shouldn't cut corners. Insurers also know those standards and should let their clients know their coverage may be void if they cut corners.

That's good news.

The only reason Obama enacted those rules was to harm the United States.

Glad they're gone.

What a stupid thing to post.
