Great to see cooperation for the greater good.
Now dear Leader Barrack Hussein Obama! Give us back the rest of our Land.... Please spare it for those of us who cannot afford to keep losing blue collar jobs in energy production and tech.
Thanks in part to President Obama, there are new jobs in energy production -- the kind of energy that is clean and everlasting -- namely from the sun and wind. Also geothermal.
Haven't you been reading the Deseret News reports about new energy industry developments in Utah? You may have to go where the jobs are, as with any energy industry, since these types of jobs won't come to you.
Not every penny from the sale of leases on public land goes to pay for education. Check facts. Call Governor Huntsman.
"Now dear Leader Barrack Hussein Obama! Give us back the rest of our Land.... Please spare it for those of us who cannot afford to keep losing blue collar jobs in energy production and tech."
Obama can't control prices and demand. Demand for oil is down. If you a corporation, why would you increase supply driving your prices and unit profits down?
Oil has dropped. Do you see this reflected in the price you're paying for gas? It's Obama's fault and not a corporation pricing for profits.
While I think the land swap is, in general, a good idea, why are we pursuing oil and gas leases on them? Sure we could probably find oil and gas there, but why would we pursue fossil fuels that dirty the environment and contribute to climate change? Why not pursue placing wind or solar farms there?
