As The Times-Picayune summarized a few days ago,

It was George W. Bush who pushed to rewrite the rule books for energy development on public property, rolling back protections for fish, wildlife, air and water under the banner of streamlining the nation's race for energy. That movement sought to turn 40 years of bipartisan environmental protection on its head, and it did. Industry lobbyists and officials were appointed to key environmental positions with orders to make the environment safe for business -- especially the energy business. Agencies became boosters for development, not protectors of the public trust.

And here's some material on just how deregulated it was: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/...n6518694.shtml

Facts are stubborn things. They're not left or right, liberal or conservative, just facts.
