Once again, the same old, tired tactics from environmentalists and the global-warming extremists who don’t want the United States to drill for oil or build nuclear power plants.

Have people forgotten President Jimmy Carter and the long lines at the gas pumps in the 70s?

Now, President Barack Obama issues orders that stop new drilling for oil and gas (thanks to environmentalists and global warming extremists).

In order to build new nuclear power plants and drill for oil and gas, the relentless legal tactics of the environmentalists and extremists must be stopped.

President Obama should give the go-ahead to issue permits so companies could start drilling in the U.S. and also develop green resources at the same time.

The time is now to “drill, baby, drill.”
