George H. W. signed that EO, and George W. just revoked it. As noted, there is also a law banning offshore drilling.

Apropos of nothing, I parked my Subaru Forester SUV at the local yuppie grocery store (TJ) yesterday, and noticed that it was just about the biggest vehicle in the lot. A sign of things to come, maybe. I will admit that I can't carry full sheets of plywood inside it, and 40 concrete blocks is a pretty fully load.
