Why is it only the Feds have the power to grant drilling permits? Isn't this something the states could do? After all, they arguably have better "situational awareness" of their resources than a remote bureaucracy in D.C.
I think this issue is ripe for the states asserting control over the Feds.
I'll start making the popcorn. -

When I was a teenager a friends father had a propane powered chevy el camino . He drove that thing until the body rusted off of it , and the day he parked it in the weeds , he pulled the dipstick and showed it to me . The oil was as clean as HONEY , And he had over 400,000 miles on the thing ! That made one helluva impression on me , and that was 20 years ago ! SMIBSID

Anon - You are el-correcto. Hopefully more states will follow South Carolina's light bulb lead, and start telling the feds to fuck-off.
SMIBSID - When I posted this I wondered why we don't have more natural gas powered cars? A great story, yours! We as a nation have so much promise left in us, it's heartening. Just some malignancies what need some radiation and we'll be USA UAS USA! -

I have a water treatment company that successfully cleans the shale oil extraction water free of any remaining heavy metals and/or hydrocarbons.
let me just say that, right now, business couldn't be better. The companies we're working with are being very proactive toward the environment and cleaning the process water before discharge. Their fear is that showing up on the the EPA's radar would no doubt significantly alter their "altruistic" behavior. Know what I mean? -

That discovery has more in common with Jed Clampett than they know. Jed and his family originally were from East Texas. One of the early episodes had Mr. Brewster of OK Oil telling Milburn Drysdale (apparently no relation to Don) that this find could turn out to be the biggest ever in East Texas. Then somewhere along the line it morphed into they were from the hill country of Tennessee. Next time TV Land has a Hillbilly Marathon, watch it--you'll see.

Offshore permits are controlled by the feds. Onshore leases and permits on private or state owned land are controlled by the states already. I just drove the back roads from Monroe LA to Austin and there were rigs in people's back yards. Fracking supply companies in every county at least (and yes, that's the fracking that injects super high pressure water into a well to crack the rock, and sand to hold the cracks open so gas can flow). We're drillin, baby, we're drillin.
