September 26th, 2009 · 4 Comments
File this under “never would have guessed it.” In a piece published today at Right Truth, writer R.J. Godlewski unwittingly provides the evaluatory “tools” needed to connect the future of the Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility with President Barack Obama’s relentless assault of the nation’s oil and natural gas industry.

World’s Deepest Offshore Drilling Rig Takes Root
August 19th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi would do Americans a favor by learning more about the Perdido Regional Development Spar and discarding her misguided talking points about how it would take 10 years or more to reap benefits from new offshore drilling efforts Congress might approve.
