Egypt Revolution Co-option, Domestic Oil Drilling Demands
The hosts argue that the organic revolution in Egypt's Tahrir Square has been co-opted by interests seeking to pressure the Obama administration. They suggest the unrest is being used as a pretext to abandon alternative energy and "cap and trade" policies in favor of renewed domestic oil drilling. The narrative focuses on the potential restriction of global oil flow to justify opening the U.S. Gulf Coast for production.
