Your point about regulations being relaxed under Bush/Cheney is certainly valid, but, in truth, these facilities and Chem/Petrochem, have enjoyed prefential treatment for decades, and largely because of our need for their products.

Yeah, we can point a finger at Bush/Cheney and with some validity. But, let’s also be honest about Obama, too. We’re not seeing anything approaching a national energy program, and I can say this because I also work on protective design, largely for Force Protection, in the private nuke sector, and I hear the complaints regarding the difficulties in permitting, approvals and loan guarantees.

Jim Jones, consider the facts Allan enumerated above.
I was specifically addressing the post made by Allan who, on this thread, warned me to be precise and that words have meanings.
Did Obama’s supposed lack of a “national energy program”, and “the difficulties in permitting, approvals and loan guarantees” in “the private nuke sector” contribute to THIS disaster in the Gulf? Consider the facts Allan pointed to and their contribution to THIS gulf disaster.
Remember, Allan is the one who suggested that I should not use the word “drilling” to refer to the oil industry in general because drilling is not cementing.
Are we talking big picture policy or meanings of words?[/quote]
Brian: And you wonder why you have the reputation you do on this board?
