More abject nonsense from Hiroko Tabuchi, New York Times climate reporter and “part of the team awarded the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting”…
…
This idiotic article included four paragraphs on climate change, which I did not quote. It also included a lot of Democrat blather about giving money to special interests that don’t need it. And a lot of whining about this not being the intent of the law… Most of which I also didn’t quote.
All that matters:
- The legislation was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1995.
- Its intent was to incentivize deepwater drilling and production in the Gulf of Mexico, and it worked.
- When the government tried to administratively rewrite the law, they were sued and lost.
Crude oil production from Federal leases in the Gulf of Mexico has roughly doubled since 1995.
