Seems legit. Never seen this till today so If I'm late for the bus here....sorry. About 500 or so promises have been researched and submitted.
For my line of work I'm anxious to see if these pan out:
No. 441: Reduce oil consumption by 35 percent by 2030
Will "reduce oil consumption overall by at least 35 percent, or 10 million barrels of oil, by 2030."
No. 446: Enact windfall profits tax for oil companies
"Will require oil companies to take a reasonable share of their record-breaking windfall profits and use it to provide direct relief worth $500 for an individual and $1,000 for a married couple. The relief would be delivered as quickly as possible to help families cope with the rising price of gasoline, food and other necessities. The rebates would be fully paid for with five years of a windfall profits tax on record oil company profits."
No. 450: Require drilling on current oil and gas leases
"A "Use it or Lose It" Approach to Existing Leases. Oil companies have access to 68 million acres of land, over 40 million offshore, which they are not drilling on. Drilling in open areas could significantly increase domestic oil and gas production. Barack Obama and Joe Biden will require oil companies to diligently develop these leases or turn them over so that another company can develop them."
No. 451: Expedite oil and gas drilling from domestic shale formations
Will "speed up the process of recovering oil and gas resources in shale formations in Montana and North Dakota; Texas and Arkansas and in parts of the West and Central Gulf of Mexico."
No. 454: Build natural gas pipeline from Alaska
"Will work with the Canadian government, state of Alaska, oil and gas producers, and other stakeholders to facilitate construction of the pipeline. Not only is this pipeline critical to our energy security, it will create thousands of new jobs."
