Thread: Oil Slick Stuff

Yes there's oil on the north slope. Yes there's gas on the north slope. Those are proven fields and are in production. He mentions Prudhoe Bay. He's not talking about fields that are "held back" or ANWR. He's just trying to stir things up. There is NOT enough oil and gas there to supply the USA for 200 years at the current rate of consumption, and demand will only increase if more oil is available. The longer we rely on fossil fuels, the higher the demand goes and the longer we will be dependent on imports. There is NOT enough discovered and undiscovered (estimated) oil in US-owned leases to supply the US - we EXPORT as well as IMPORT. There's more oil and gas CAPPED right now that if it was put on production the supply would meet US demand for the next 20 years without drilling any NEW leases IF we stopped exporting and IF we started conserving. Lots of misinformation and half-truths. Believe what you want.

No thanks, I've read it. I've also read Peak Oil, which is also a lot of half-truths. I have worked there, family has worked there - in the fields when they were first discovered, drilled and capped. Now Im on the other end of things, I work with the real numbers every day. Like I said, lots of half-truths - everybody has a price. It's easy to keep interviewing people until you find someone who says what you want to hear. Believe what you want. Real numbers don't lie. And if you read what I said, I told you that yes there is plenty of oil there, drilled and CAPPED. Make them produce it.

Why is there such a mental block to developing alternative fuels and technologies? Can't you guys get over this "we must drill it because it's there" mentality? As bad as big oil....

And I'm disinclined to believe someone who mixes politics and religion and believes God gave man dominion over the earth to destroy it. I do however agree with him that whoever controls oil controls the economy. And it's also true that big oil bought the government, and still owns it.

Developing alternative fuels and technologies? We still are debating this issue, and debating is fine. However, we must find a solution quickly. Since the OPEC embargo in the early 1970s we should have paid more attention to the slippery slope encompassed by oil dependency. Now, if money and profits is the main obstacle to developing more efficient, cleaner, and less controversial alternatives there are solutions. Consider a full-blown effort led by the Federal government similar to the Space program in partnership with private investors, and/or existing corporations already involved in searching and developing fuels. The project is so big that the involvement of the Federal government is the only way that profiteers do not delay this thing any further. I don't care if the existing U.S. oil companies make up part of this partnership as long as nobody is allowed to derail the national effort. The sooner we get over the debate, the better. But let's stop running away from facing the truth about depleting all the natural resources!

I don't quite go along with everything he says, BUT I think that generally he hits the nail on the head!! Attachment 3928
This thing is a BIG MESS, that we got ourselves into, NOW who is going to fix it?

We need a moral compass..Hence the God factor....But, I will agree to this statement at least.

Buster,

Go play with your kitties and cars. It's a holiday weekend. Tomorrow, remember the warriors.
