>From a comment on the NYT story:
"This is so short-sighted and wrong-headed. The U.S. Energy Information
Administration's own analysis states that: [A]ccess to the Pacific,
Atlantic, and eastern Gulf regions would not have a significant impact on
domestic crude oil and natural gas production or prices before 2030.

and even then projections are of such minimal amounts likely to be found
that this is simply a joke...

and he'll surely reinstate the laws that demand double-hulled tankers,
holding energy corps directly responsible for the costs of spill clean-up +
penalties, and providing recompense to states, communities, other industries
and property owners for any damage that results... or not.
