Bush Right Again: Correct About Oil
President Bush is on a roll! After his comments in Israel the other day on the folly of appeasement and now his comments in Egypt about how to solve the current oil problems.
Bush met with the Saudis and convinced them to increase production by 300,000 barrels a day but said he knows this will not solve our problems. Instead we need to increase our domestic exploration, build more refineries, build more nuclear plants, and continue to look for alternatives.
«Our problem in America gets solved when we aggressively go for domestic exploration. Our problem in America gets solved if we expand our refining capacity, promote nuclear energy and continue our strategy for the advancing of alternative energies as well as conservation,» he said.
Then came the money line...
«One interesting thing about American politics these days is those who are screaming the loudest for increased production from Saudi Arabia are the very same people who are fighting the fiercest against domestic exploration, against the development of nuclear power and against expanding refining capacity.»
He is so right! There is so much oil we are not allowed to. For example, there are Ten Billion barrels in ANWR which could produce 1.1 million barrels a day for 25 years. But we can't tap into it.
Liberal Environmentalists are the cause of today's high oil prices. We have billions and billions of barrels of oil available for us to retrieve throughout our own country. But we can't get to it because Liberals have been very successful in propagating the global warming myth.

It's also class warfare. The Democrats side with the deep-pocket liberals who don't care about the price of energy or the good jobs in the oil and gas industry. The Democrats are against the working people of America. Don't let them fool you.

And we currently use 21 million barrels per day in the U.S. So the » Ten Billion barrels in ANWR» amounts to a little over a year's worth of oil. Assuming we could pump out anywhere near that much. So what do we do for energy next summer?

Andy, Check this one out.
Survey Says Billions Of Barrels Of Oil Can Be Found In Bakken Formation
«The shale that lies under northeast Montana, western North Dakota and north into Canada is estimated to hold the largest potential oil resources in the 48 contiguous states, according to an assessment released Thursday, April 10, by the United States Geological Survey. According to the survey, the area, known as the Bakken Formation, might contain 3 billion to 4.3 billion barrels of oil that could be extracted using current technology.»

Wait, who needs ANWR? Here's a report from the European Space Agency:
Titan's surface organics surpass oil reserves on Earth
13 February 2008
Saturn's orange moon Titan has hundreds of times more liquid hydrocarbons than all the known oil and natural gas reserves on Earth, according to new Cassini data. The hydrocarbons rain from the sky, collecting in vast deposits that form lakes and dunes.

It's just laying around on the surface! Put Cheney and Haliburton on the next shuttle! We can have that oil before we finish sucking up all the energy in the Tongue River Basin, Flathead and Bakken fields. Good thing global warming is a hoax.

Lucky: Try something new for a change instead of reciting worn-out liberal contradictions.
First, it doesn't matter how much oil is in ANWR. It should be made available to the American taxpayer.
Second, if you think there's nothing much in ANWR worth drilling and pumping, then you need to explain for why the oil companies spent tens of millions exploring for oil there and are willing to pay tens of millions more on leases and development costs. Or do you think they're as stupid as you are?

Lucky,
I say pump it out where ever we can find it. The market dictates the value and worth. If the oil companies find ANWR profitable, they'll go get it. Same with the oil in the Bakken Formation.
