"In February, barely two weeks on the job as our nation's new Interior secretary, Ken Salazar rescinded 77 already-awarded leases on 130,000 acres of energy-rich land in Utah .... That same month, Mr. Salazar shut down an oil shale leasing program that had begun to make serious strides toward more cleanly and efficiently producing American oil from shale -- a potential recoverable resource three times the size of Saudi Arabia's oil supplies. And finally, the secretary announced that a new offshore energy plan -- written in the months after Congress allowed its offshore ban to expire -- would have to wait an additional six months before his department would even consider looking at it again .... Taken separately, each of these events has cost the American people millions of units of usable energy, and potentially billions of dollars in lost wages, revenues and royalties."
