Hope all of you enjoyed low gas prices. Obama and the Dems will make sure you pay more, drive less, and take public trasnportation

Obama blocks offshore drilling

Facing gas prices near $4 a gallon and a pivotal national election, congressional Democrats allowed a ban on offshore drilling to lapse in September

But times change, and on Tuesday, the Obama administration - with gas prices roughly half what they were and many Democrats' having been swept into office - blocked offshore drilling plans put in place at the last minute by the Bush administration, including plans to open the national outer continental shelf for drilling.

Interior Department Secretary Ken Salazar also announced last week that his agency would block drilling on public lands in Utah, criticizing the Bush administration for releasing its offshore drilling plan just days before leaving office.

"It was a headlong rush of the worst kind," he said. "It was a process rigged to force hurried decisions based on bad information. It was a process tilted toward the usual energy players while renewable energy companies and the interests of American consumers and taxpayers were overlooked."

Mr. Salazar said he plans to hold four meetings nationwide as he considers how to rewrite the nation's five-year offshore drilling plan and has extended the public-comment period six months, pushing any action well into the fall.

Offshore drilling would do nothing in the near term to reduce gasoline prices. Developing other energy sources and resources will.

Yes we can!

Typical liberal logic on Obama's part. The economy is in trouble, the Dow is tanking after Tax Cheat Tim speaks, his mega pork bill will drive up the deficit, and now gas prices could go up as supply shrinks

Jimmy Carter must be very happy. Looks like he will not be considered the worst President ever - Obama is doing all he can to take the title from him

Because of Conserverative economic policy. Obama is fixing it.

Yes we can!


...the Dow is tanking after Tax Cheat Tim speaks,

The market moves on myth. Obama is a straight-talker who can dispell myths.

Yes we can!


...his mega pork bill will drive up the deficit,

The Main Street Jobs Creation Act has not a penny of pork in it. True, it will be funded primarily by borrowing. The boom it creates, though, will generate plenty of revenue.

Yes we can!


...and now gas prices could go up as supply shrinks

The offshore drilling ban will not cause gasoline prices to increase and it could cause them to decrease by showing the oil producers we're serious about ending our dependence on oil.

Yes we can!


Jimmy Carter must be very happy. Looks like he will not be considered the worst President ever

In a world with a Regan and a Bush, Carter never was in danger. Obama, on the other hand, may challenge Franklin D. Roosevelt for the top spot. We'll have to wait and see.

I believe he can!

I use facts, logic, and reason

Being a liberal, you use emotion, insults, and irrational rants

As the economy tanks, Obama cuts off more supply of oil. That will cause gas prices to rise, the cost of everything to increase, and put a further squeeze on company's bottom lines

Great liberal economics there

stopping new offshore drilling will not REDUCE the supply...it will merely limit the places we can go to get INCREASED supply... and the president's green energy initiatives are designed to curb our appetite for increased oil supplies.

The fact is, banning offshore drilling WILL decrease supply and drive gas prices up. Which will drive another nail in not only the coffin of the econiomy but Obama's Presidency as well

The mega pork package has no chance to work. If his polices were the correct ones, Cuba would be an economic superpower

It is economic fact. Look at how fast gas prices rose, then when the offshore bill was passed they dropped

Now we are heading into spring and summer, and Obama says "lets reduce the supply of oil"

I would be shocked if the mega pork, and multi trilion bank bailouts work - basic economics says they wil not

Dems are of course to nearly double the national debt in a short period of time - that will not help the recovery

Offshore drilling is another of those rhetorical phrases that is thrown around helter skeltor without regard for reality.

What is needed is a thorough analysis of the possible sites for drilling. Some should be less environmentally harmful than others. We may find it necessary to do some drilling offshore which would satisfy neither extreme faction.

Massive Oil Deposit Could Increase US reserves by 10x
America is sitting on top of a super massive 200 billion barrel Oil Field that could potentially make America Energy Independent and until now has largely gone unnoticed. Thanks to new technology the Bakken Formation in North Dakota could boost America’s Oil reserves by an incredible 10 times, giving western economies the trump card against OPEC’s short squeeze on oil supply and making Iranian and Venezuelan threats of disrupted supply irrelevant.

In the next 30 days the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) will release a new report giving an accurate resource assessment of the Bakken Oil Formation that covers North Dakota and portions of South Dakota and Montana. With new horizontal drilling technology it is believed that from 175 to 500 billion barrels of recoverable oil are held in this 200,000 square mile reserve that was initially discovered in 1951. The USGS did an initial study back in 1999 that estimated 400 billion recoverable barrels were present but with prices bottoming out at $10 a barrel back then the report was dismissed because of the higher cost of horizontal drilling techniques that would be needed, estimated at $20-$40 a barrel.

It was not until 2007, when EOG Resources of Texas started a frenzy when they drilled a single well in Parshal N.D. that is expected to yield 700,000 barrels of oil that real excitement and money started to flow in North Dakota. Marathon Oil is investing $1.5 billion and drilling 300 new wells in what is expected to be one of the greatest booms in Oil discovery since Oil was discovered in Saudi Arabia in 1938.

If I may say, it's not like the oil is going to go anywhere, it is there and if not removed will stay there, not to mention that the longer it stays there the more valueable it will become. Now I don't think this is the reason that they are not drilling off shore, however, if obama is pres for 8 years and does not drill ofshore, would this not be preserving a valuble black goldmine in Americas back garden?

In the meantime the supply decreases, and the price goes up. I guess this is both the change Obama promised, and liberal compassion

With new horizontal drilling technology it is believed that from 175 to 500 billion barrels of recoverable oil are held in this 200,000 square mile reserve that was initially discovered in 1951.Ok, first of all, that was an old link, and also completely wrong, containing old and very hyped info that turned out to be false.

USGS survey officially estimates the Bakken area as holding only 4 billion gallons of technically recoverable oil, nowhere close to the 175-500 billion the hypester's were suggesting.

http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1911

This is still a lot more oil than the last official survey, but again, there was a lot of spin and hype about the Bakken range for a while a year or so ago that turned out to be just that. I think a lot of that hype was generated by some sort of investment scam taking advantage of all the drill here, drill now crowd hysteria.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/bakken.asp


and here is one area where Dems say we can't drill

Really? Care to back that up? Do you have a link to a dem saying that?

Bakken is already tapped in multiple places, and most of it is under private ownership! There are already a LOT of wells there, with more wells being drilled. Problem there is NOT political pressure to my knowledge, but the fact that more advanced and costly methods of getting the oil out are required, thus making it profitable only when prices are higher. In 2007 over 5 million barrels of oil came out of the Bakken range.

I just see it as simple economics (though maybe to simple) but it makes sense. Some hurt for a large reward, or less hurt and no reward.

As for tax, yeah we pay about 8 times more tax than you guys, but we have stuff like NHS ect ect

The best soloution is to walk, I walk everywhere, and if I'm going more than 5 miles I have a bicycle, I think all too often people use a car out of lazyness and ease (that is not to say there are not times when they are needed) but it that's how they wana spend their money then fair enough, a one of payment of £50 a few years ago got me a bicycle that has gone far further than £50 of petrol could ever go.

on Tuesday, the Obama administration - with gas prices roughly half what they were and many Democrats' having been swept into office - blocked offshore drilling plans put in place at the last minute by the Bush administration, including plans to open the national outer continental shelf for drilling.

From what I've read this isn't a permanent ban. They simply put a hold on Bush's proposals because they were written entirely aimed at oil and natural gas producers, and pretty much ignored alternative fuels.

A company wanting to put windmills offshore could be blocked if an oil company claimed the rights first, even if there was no oil there as the laws favored oil.

I think we'll see the offshore rights restored in the near future, but with much more favorable legislation for other energy sources.

post #46 is self explanatory. I understand why you bring up this town in maine and, as I said...as long as you continue to question who I am instead of simply discussing what I say, I am through trying to discuss things with you.

I really think that is quite clear. If you cannot understand it, then I am sorry.

liar, i did not accuse you of being from maine....nice try

i understand why you don't want to answer the debate and instead focus on non-debate issues, because you can't debate and are now deflecting.

How old are you? Are you still in diapers? Your debate "style" reveals you to be an idiot that couldn't think it's way out of an empty room. You have a child's mentality which makes you the ideal for the democrat party. Fuck you for being one that enables democrat hacks to destroy our way of life.

I never said that, in the posts listed, that you "accused me of being from maine". I said that I knew why you were mentioning that town... we both know why you are doing that... and that if you continued to play that game, that I was not going to discuss other issues with you. It really is that simple. The ball is in your court, yurt.... you can pledge to make a change in your approach to me, or we can just not discuss things anymore.

gosh...I am sorry that you feel that way. If you feel like we are destroying your way of life, please feel free to move somewhere else where the way of life would be more to your liking. For the next two years anyhow, you're on the bus and us democrats are drivin' it. Ride along if you like, or get the hell off. makes no big difference to me.

so i didn't accuse you of being from maine, yet we both know why i mentioned maine....

pray tell....why? i find it odd you are familiar with why i would think maine is important to you....

I distinctly remember in his Inauguration speech, Obama reminded us that we need to wean ourselves off of foreign oil, no?

Hell of way for him to attain that goal

Hell of way for him to attain that goalSee my post #50 above. Probably got lost in the shuffle. This isn't as dire an action as you would make it out to be and in fact is a good course of action if we are to wean ourselves from foreign oil, because to do that we need to have full access to all types of energy, not just make sweetheart deals with the oil companies.

Bush's policies were not the best use of the resources we have available. All Obama has done is put these back on the table to be rewritten so other energy providers can also benefit. Offshore ban isn't permanent.

incredible? actually, it is more than merely "incredible"...it is nothing less than deliberate duplicity. You are lying and you know it, but you do not have the balls or the maturity to admit that you have been lying your ass off about your nonstop insinuations that I am this former poster...
you and I both know that your parents do not live in augusta, maine and that you have ever eaten mexican food there...just like we both know you never climbed the pyramids and have never been to lebanon and spoken to muslims about anything. you are a fraud. pure and simple... a petty, weak, lying fraud. I only hope for your clients' sake, if indeed you even have any, that they figure out what a total wannabe loser their "attorney: is before it costs them anything substantial.

mfm has been used interchangeably with manfrommaine by others here, yurt. Including you. I am not that guy. I do not live in maine. I live in Iowa. We both know you lie about maine... not because I live there, which I do not, but because you are so clearly unconvincing... just as unconvincing as you were about climbing the pyramids and visiting the middle east.... lies.

The government telling oil companies how to run their business and where to drill is beyond ignorant.

To think that an idiot like Obama has any clue about any private industry is pure stupidity.

Yet socialist libs want him and his minions to run every aspect of U.S. business.
