Quote:
"As a nation, we should be investing in the clean, renewable sources of energy that are the ultimate solution to high gas prices."

Mr Obama has previously called for a step-change in energy policy, saying the US must move towards getting 80% of its electricity from clean energy sources by 2035.

Well looks like that objective will never happen. Though longer term it means that lots of Florida will disappear under the oceans.

I'll bet they don't offer BP many (if any) licenses.

I expect Halliburton to do very well in the auctions. :roll:

Halliburton aren't an oil company. They're an oil service company.
It's up to the oil companies as to whether they use Halliburton's services on the rigs they hire or not.

Yes but Halliburton work for all the oil majors so would probably get a big slice of any work.

Probably. But that would have nothing to do with the choice of oil companies the US government gives new leases to.
