That’s aside from the fact that the oil will take 10 years to bring to market and will only satisfy the US’s demand for oil for one year. More shocking than this is the fact that there is nothing in the current Energy Bill to reduce oil consumption.

Much less do they care about the life & health of the natural world. That FEMA’s poor response to Katrina was due to its highest offices being held as sinecures by Bush family appointees is indicative of how much real concern this administration has for the success of even its purported intitiatives. So much for homeland security.
