It's perfectly clear

I guess I see the issue of failing constituents happening on both sides of that fence. So I no longer am able to say it is Republican or Democratic hypocrisy.

What kills me is that with VA's coastline, if king nutbucket wants to generate more energy , why not install wind powered turbines. They may not be incredibly attractive , however done properly can create a very architecturally interesting visage. And, they aren't going to spill tons of oil on our coasts and kill our oceans. Wind on the coastlines is a constant. There are plenty of areas along our shore that could be used for this. Same is true for our other coasts ( in country, not just VA).

I love that the govt asks us to become more aware of energy saving... longer lasting, more efficient light bulbs and let's not forget to check our tire pressure. However, they fail to see and act on long lasting alternatives to crude production.

Fortunately, all new drilling has been put on hold until further regulations/ safety precautions have been set by EPA. UNFORTUNATELY, oil and water will never mix, no matter how safe they think they can make it.
