Reid Loses, Senate Allows Shale Oil Drilling


52-42, good guys win (for once)

As I know this changes every 3 nano-seconds…but as of now, there are NO bans on shale oil and NO bans on OCS drilling that have made it through.

Despite the efforts of Reid and the rest of the socialists, his bans on shale oil were defeated 52-42, and we only lost 6 Republicans.

We lost Coleman, Collins, Dole, Smith, Snowe and Specter….go figure on that list right?

Anyway, as of 2:19pm EST on Sept 26 – DRILL BABY DRILL!

It's a temporary victory

Expect Congress to come back in Jan and pass a new ban. All of the oil people are.

But at this point, honestly, a victory is a victory.

And, if companies had their leases and everything in order to push through as many as they can, there is at least a shot to get something in there.

Plus, public support for this is huge. The pressure would be tremendous to undo this…not saying they won’t try and it won’t happen, but you have to have some faith somewhere at sometime.

Anyway, check this out for a breif laugh.
