Does Obama not want us to drill Crude Oil because he has cornered the market on Snake Oil?

Is THAT the ';alternative fuel'; he is talking about?Does Obama not want us to drill Crude Oil because he has cornered the market on Snake Oil?
What the ill informed people who follow the drill here drill now propaganda machine is that it won't help us. Where are you going to drill? The newly found oil in the northern great plains? The ground is a lot more dense there and it will cost $100+ a barrel to drill. The gulf? The oil there is deep and has only recently been feasible do to new technologies and is still expensive. If we were to start drilling now, it would be close to or more then a decade before we see the first barrel. There are other things that need to be done first like surveying and setting it up. Furthermore what about global demand? If Exxon can sell a barrel of oil to the US for $100 a barrel or sell it to India or China for $150 who do you think will get it? Finally, what do we do when we finally run out? It is a finite resource. I agree, we should have started years ago, but to rely on it by itself is irresponsible. We need renewable resources as well as domestic drilling.Does Obama not want us to drill Crude Oil because he has cornered the market on Snake Oil?
just like Bill O'Reilly





obama thinks that we can Not drill our way out of this mess.


---------------


drill anyway - Sure


but whats the rush ? my children would love some of that oil.





I promise - as the oil runs out we will drill for every last drop.


and then we will dig up the sand/shale deposits turning large parts of North America into open strip mines.

I am Certain that Peak Oil is VERY real.


it's going to be a BIG ugly problem.


the longer we can make our domestic reserves last the Better !!!


lets not be in a rush to pump ';our'; oil because the next generation might Really Need It !!!!


after all - it's not going anywhere


and the claims that the Chinese are drilling it off our coast are not true (at this time)





If WW III does happen that off shore oil could determine the speed and scope of our Victory (okay, that's a Big maybe)





why do you think we must have it as soon as possible (other than yours and mine pocket books ?)


after all - you have said the U.S. economy is actually doing pretty good, have you not ?


----------------


as for alternatives


that could turn out to be horse-sh*t


as of now we produce hydrogen with electricity produced from ....you guessed it ! OIL





and Solar + Wind power (please, I'm not that gullible)





nuclear - sure, after we address the national embarrassment that is Yucca Mountain, only then can we talk nuclear.





I didn't mention ';clean'; coal plants


but I can save that for another question / answer
He is against nuclear.....


He is against drilling....





Actually, he doesn't know what he's against or for..... he just thinks an ';alternate fuel fairy'; will come and drop a solution in his back yard if he gets elected....... and the liberal idiots believe it too. That's why they support him when he has NO energy policy.
All the drilling won't change the fact, that the time of cheap oil is over. Estimates are that opening all wells in the USA would lower gas price by 1,2 cents.
Good one consistently good ones,
The more they delay the more oil we will buy from our Enemy...
