\"\"The article reports:<\/p>\n

When President Obama<\/a>, in responding Tuesday to Mitt Romney<\/a>‘s chiding about failing to approve the Keystone XL pipeline<\/a>, claimed that his administration has added enough new oil and gas pipelines to “encircle the Earth and then some,” we felt a perfect response from Romney would have been, “You didn’t build that.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

According to the Interior Department<\/a>‘s Bureau of Land Management<\/a>, in 2008 under President Bush<\/a> a total of 55,085 oil and gas leases were in effect on federal land. In 2011 under Obama, there were just 49,174, a decrease of 11%.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Federal acreage under lease shrank from 47.2 million in 2008 to just 38.5 million, a drop of 19%. And 6,617 oil and gas permits were approved in 2008 vs. 4,244 permits in 2011, a decrease of 36%.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Heritage Foundation<\/a>‘s Nicolas Loras points out that a recent report from the EIA<\/a> documents the fact that energy production fell 13% on federal lands in fiscal 2011 compared with fiscal 2010.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although tapping domestic energy would not bring down gasoline prices tomorrow, it would impact those prices in the near future. It is time to elect a President who will allow us to become energy independent.<\/p>\n
