How many jobs would Obama save or create if he would allow off shore oil drilling?

How many good American jobs would he save if he just stops cutting the Defense Budget. Those weapons systems are made in America by highly skilled American engineers and technicians many of which happen to be Union members. Don't forget their suppliers and shipping companies that support them as well.





*How many jobs would Obama save or create if he would allow off shore oil drilling?
He wouldn't create/save enough or any in time. First of all, it takes roughly 10 years to drill offshore and to pump oil. That's not including the time it takes to find an oil reserve.





Also the price of gas is not high, because we don't have enough oil, it's high because we don't have enough refineries. The hurricanes have battered the majority of our refineries on the gulf coast, that is why gas is so high.





Jobs would be created in some 15 years, but by that time, the world would have moved on to Wind, Solar, ect. energies. Thus oil would be a poor export. We need to create jobs that will not only benefit our energy policies, but to also be a profitable export commodity.How many jobs would Obama save or create if he would allow off shore oil drilling?
Not only the jobs but the cost of fuel... I`ts true we need to seek other means of energy but those are years away. They still refuse to allow drilling that will take far less time and help keep the economy moving..Without it there will be millions more jobs lost and I`m sure they will blame that onto someone else too
A lot. For Americans, well paying, it produces a needed product, is used in the US %26amp; would solve both economic %26amp; political problems.





But now that would not help Barry's %26amp; the Dems takeover agenda at all, now would it.
Regardless of the answer to this, it's a band aid on our country's energy independence.





He could create jobs by starting a third war with Canada, but that doesn't make it a good idea.
Considering that the oil would help keep gasoline prices lower than without the oil, the added oil will help keep inflation in check.
Less than the value of an entire marine ecosystem. How is it possible that there are STILL some people who have not accepted that oil is of the past?
Zero net...as long as the alternatives was Green Energy.





Green Energy could create way more jobs.
A couple hundred?
Not to mention the fact that we would stop funding terrorist regimes by buying their oil.
