Is it true? We would have to pay Big Oil to drill AND for any oil found in Alaska?

you betcha ! It's called free enterprise; supply and demand.





That's all the oil companies have to do, is CUT BACK when the demand gets high, and presto, they can justify socking it ti to consumer, and charge what ever they want to increase the dividends to their stock holders.





It's called ReaGUNomics.Is it true? We would have to pay Big Oil to drill AND for any oil found in Alaska?
No. If we drill within the United States it is our oil, we own it, so the only people we would pay would be the company that we hire to drill and refine it for us. To avoid that the government could send in their own crews to do the work and then it would be a government controlled operation vs a civilian one. If we hired BIg Oil to do it then yes we would pay them.Is it true? We would have to pay Big Oil to drill AND for any oil found in Alaska?
Yes, it is true we pay corporations for goods and services.
It's true that where Big Oil is concerned, we have to bend over and take what they give us.. We have to smile too, otherwise they'll just screw us more.
No. Those are Democrat Lies.


They will not Allow us to drill in Anwr. Because it would bring the price of oil %26amp; gas down too much.


The Environmentalists give the Democrat Party millions of dollars every election, for keeping the price of oil %26amp; gas high.

Why isn't it profitable to drill for oil in Texas? Seems like with oil around $60 a barrel and dependence on .

the mid-east opec that they'd be sinking bits all over the USA. And why don't we just be more friendly to Mexico in exchange for cheap oil?Why isn't it profitable to drill for oil in Texas? Seems like with oil around $60 a barrel and dependence on .
First, Mexican government owns the oil company Pemex, and the Mexican Constitution prohibits foreign investment in oil. Second, with Texas need to get a permit first off to explore offshore for oil. Find oil then you gotta resubmit a permit and documentation that there is oil, and gotta go thru environmental assessment at the local, state, federal level to be able to drill for oil. Finally, it costs lots of money to build the Equipment to extract the oil, and the oil company found a oil reserve would have to spend a while to make sure its worth the investment for offshore oil drilling before they put the equipment to extract it out there. Finally. drilling for oil in Texas would be profitable if there wasn't environmental, and local red-tape. Dint worry Shell is learning the fine art of making oil out of tar sands in Montana to Alberta those deposits if extracted efficiently will provide oil for a long time. The other sources to make fuel like Straw grass would be a good idea because straw grass is the only source of ethanol that is actually a energy gainer. Corn based ethanol is a energy drainer because the time it tales to grow the crops., the fertilizers to protect and grow the corn, and the having to use heavy machinery to grab and extract the ethanol cello use from the corn. Personally not worried about oil much because other sources of extraction of oil will replace overtime oil from unfriendly suppliers.

Will oklahoma cave in since they drilled so much oil?

In some areas of the US, there has been subsidence due to extraction of oil - Long Beach, CA is one of these areas. However, I could find no report that any area in Oklahoma has had this probem due to oil extraction.

Why don't more Republicans, drill for oil in their own yard, or just stick a straw in the ground and Suck ???

Here on the liberal Left Coast we havw oil seeping out of the ground. What's you guys problem. Drill your onw oil.Why don't more Republicans, drill for oil in their own yard, or just stick a straw in the ground and Suck ???
We will drill in our own yards when you stop supporting illegal immigration. You want me to pay 4-5 dollars a gallon next summer, then help us save money elsewhere.


If not, you can look forward to seeing refineries in your back yard.Why don't more Republicans, drill for oil in their own yard, or just stick a straw in the ground and Suck ???
It's the Liberals fault that we don't drill (despite the ban on offshore drilling signed by George H W Bush, backed by Jeb Bush)





It's the Conservatives fault that oil companies don't want to drill on the land that they already have.





How about we all take responsibility for the SUV's, NASCAR, and whatever that uses up so much energy and we power that energy with a finite source.
If I had oil in the ground and had the means to get it out I would. However, I don't. So I'm doing the smart thing and driving a small car that's good on gas. In the meantime we should be drilling off shore and anywhere else we can until we can find another source of energy. A source that is renewable and practical. Of course the democraps would have us continue to drive big vehicles that drain oil out of our planet at an alarming rate.
the sucking part is the issue. from what your telling us, liberals apparently have been doing that for years and conservatives never have been associated with it. again the answer to your question to avoid the liberal trolls is we dont because we need the liberals to set the example(sic) for the latter part of your question.
Exactly!!!! I do the same thing in the Persian Gulf (since I live on a small island near Dubai). Every morning I just drill in my own backyard and give some to OPEC in exchange for some extra cash.;-p But they pay me in Euros!lol
You nimrod, it's the dems that is fighting the drilling in our own country. Evidently you do not read enough. Even Obama is against doing it which other nimrods like you are supporting.
The republicans already suck, it hasn't done any good.
why do you refuse to tell the truth??? you must be a dem....


If you had oil seeping out of the ground you would be rich! mmmm you are still here......



We will drill in our backyards when Ted Kennedy allows a wind farm in Nantucket Sound.
Give me like 200,000 dollars to put up a derrick and I will drill
Well I dunno about most Americans, but this question sure sucks. Dumb...

Why hasn't Bush drilled in Alaska for oil?

He had a republican congress and senate for many years of his presidency and with high gas prices nobody in the US would have really cared about the environmental consequences. Well nobody that doesn't wear burkenstocks.Why hasn't Bush drilled in Alaska for oil?
Liberals environmentalist would not allow it %26amp; still wont.Why hasn't Bush drilled in Alaska for oil?
Why don't you drill oil in Alaska yourself?
because he is too busy coming up with ways to help corporate america by bailing out banks and trying to figure out ways to SCREW the average person!!!
I like brendas answer. Yea, we buy GWB's oil in Texas.


Ok Brenda time to wake up!
The environmentalist won't allow him to plus, the libs excise %26amp; windfall profit taxes have made it unprofitable to do so. Oil companies can make just as much or, more profit importing.





http://www.taxfoundation.org/news/show/1鈥?/a>
Because of the power of the environmentalist.
None of the politicians in DC have the backbone to stand up against the wacko enviromentals. It doesn't matter if they have an R or a D behind their name. We wont drill off the coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico because of the same reasons even though Cuba and China are planning on doing just that.


Makes you sick doesn't it. We have no real leaders in Washington DC
we have been drilling for oil in alaska for years. anyone remmember exxon valdeez? you know the boat that crashed
the democrats held enough seats in the senate to create gridlock on such issues.
because he wants people to buy


his own oil in texas at a high price
the tree huggers wont let them
Because his oil buddies in Texas are getting $110 per barrel, and he doesn't want to ruin a good thing for his buddies.

Did you believe the Democrat congressman whom today claimed oil companies were refusing to drill on the land?

they had leased, in order to keep the price of gasoline high?


Is there any end to the stupidity that comes out of these politicians mouths?Did you believe the Democrat congressman whom today claimed oil companies were refusing to drill on the land?
He must figure the only time an oil company would want to produce more oil is when prices are low


there's democrat logic for you


god are these people ever stupid


no wonder things are so screwed up


you have to have the dumbest people in the country running thingsDid you believe the Democrat congressman whom today claimed oil companies were refusing to drill on the land?
This is true. The oil companies are leasing thousands of acres of land as well as thousands of acres on the continental shelf. They choose not to drill at this time. Why they aren't drilling is unknown to the Congressman, however. Most likely, the costs of finding,drilling, and extracting any oil that MIGHT be there are prohibitive. We also don't know the terms of the leases. Perhaps the lease terms are unfavorable, and the oil companies are awaiting some type of leverage to renegotiate the leases, or for the leases to expire.
If the Democratic Congress knew what they were doing, they would simply hire inspectors to audit records of the oil companies to show what the research on the oil properties has proven, and then audit the refineries to make sure they're running at capacity, and not being restricted as part of a price-fixing scheme. Funny how they keep us in the dark, though, with this ';he said, she said'; bull$#!t.
Obviously they don't know beans about the oil business. A lease is not a guarantee oil will be found. Even if it is, the conservationists file lawsuits, and the oil company has to file environmentals with the government (which can be denied) and then they have to get another lease in order to pump the oil.
Yes.





I have a brother in law in the oil business and he tells me they quit pumping in the Gulf of Mexico and go get the foreign oil to make higher profit.





It isn't that there isn't oil it's that they want higher profit and if where they have to drill will cost more than going to Africa to get the oil then that is what they do.





Let us remember OIL is a NONRENEWABLE resource and will at some point become extinct. So, let find alternatives and stop using so much. Plan your driving, walk, take public transportation, bicycle, use electric (of course unless it is solar charged it isn't free).





You really think the oil companies have your best interest in mind? Think again.
No. It is a diversion.





Democrat Voters will believe Anything----- as long as you throw in a Welfare Check.





(Those leases are costing Oil Companies Millions %26amp; Millions of Dollars each year. They can't drill them all at once. Idiots don't know a thing about it.)
That happens to be true...





We have open reserves that the Republicans... errr... I mean, oil companies... don't want to drill in, because it's their plan to make sure they attain all of the potential oil for the ';futures market';.
Not really, since the same congressman probably fought drilling the same land tooth and nail until off-shore drilling was put on the table.
I wonder sometimes if there is any end to the stupidity that I read here on a daily basis coming from the uninformed that love to twist bits of information into statements that are not true or are out of context.
I wouldn't anymore surprised that he was telling the truth about it than if he was lying about it. They're all lying about it.
Sounds like something a conspiracy theroist came up with.
This is coming from the same people who who have the power to approve drilling off shore but will not.
unfortunately it is true.
Repubes are repugnant.
We have proof that there is life on Mars. I can't believe our Congress is home grown.
I believe it.

Instead of taking what one or the other says as accurate, I like to read it myself.
No, every excuse that dems keep coming up with to prevent it are complete frauds. It is ok though, because their refusal is killing them.
If a Democrat says it don't believe it.
