Or at least build another refinery.

I think Bush is trying to pull another WMD by trying to place as much blame as he can on the Democrates as he can for the high price of fuel because of the drilling restrictions there fighting for. Bushes bungled policies have had every thing to do with the value of our dollar, [...]

To best explain the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and its many connotations, the United States’ concept of “Manifest Destiny” should be covered first. Manifest Destiny was the belief of English-speaking Americans that God had ordained them to take and hold the lands from the Mississippi River to the coast of the Pacific Ocean, much of [...]

I fuel aircraft and sometimes get jet fuel on my clothing. Is there anything that I can add to the laundry to get the smell out?

Was the run up in oil prices a contributor to the current worldwide economic woes?

We don’t drill for oil in the artic, although the russians and swedes are starting to, and we don’t drill for oil in most of the gulf of mexico, its illegal for us to, although that won’t stop other countries for doing so. Should Bush have pushed to allow more drilling?
Julian, so you don’t [...]

Does international law have anything to say about this, or is it up to the law of the individual countries? Who became the owners of the land, for example, which was abandoned in Eastern Europe during the mass fleeing of people at the end of WWII? Did any of these countries ever [...]

The 2009 average starting salary for undergraduate petroleum engineers in the USA is about $ 82,000 per year.
What is the comparative pay for students who graduated from Canadian petroleum engineering schools in 2008/9?

I just had another thing added to the bill called "fuel cost adjustment" for another 15.00 dollars,crude oil is way down but instead of my power bill going down its going up why?

If you can, please list the resource you got your answer from, that would be great! And also if you can, could you go more specific as in How/if the government of Oregon affect NW Natural Gas and/or other companies in the state/area. Please be as detailed as you can! Thank You!

Did we suddenly find massive quantities of the stuff?
Did the world suddenly curb its thirst for oil?
Could it be that the threat from the US to become more energy independent has driven the costs down?
Why is it that with a 50% reduction in oil prices that there is not a 50% reduction in gasoline prices?

How can people in this country beleave drilling oil now will help at the pump or heat your home. We wont see a drop of that oil for a least 10 years.

1) A person, Alex, has paid for a leasehold land but before he take possession the former owner is dismanting the house to be re-buit next door and closing the wells and diverting water to his own farm next door. The former owner has also trapped and put in cages many precious wild birds that [...]

,I’m considering becoming one, but not before i get a few questions answered. First: what is the highest math level that i need to take? Second: Which science courses will i be required to take?

I’m looking for the average cost per btu to heat with these sources, to convince my friend not to change to propane if he can help it.

From everything I’ve read I’d be tempted to guess that there isn’t much to substantiate an abiotic origin of fossil fuels, in general. However, I would enjoy hearing an expert opinion.
Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, I could not open the pdf with my pdf reader.

….for instance crude oil is per barrel right now. How can I get the current and historical prices?

i want to follow the price of oil in the US, i know gold and such has stocks of their own, does oil? what is it? if not, what should i follow to get an idea?

My neighbors are awful. They used to be my landlords, spent their $ on meth, & didn’t pay their contract for deed. Land owner repossessed our portion & sold it to us last Wed. Neighbors disputed the property line between us, so I paid for a surveyor. The surveyor put the pin 10′ into their [...]

I think that Oil Field workers should go on strike and demand that they make more money. The owners of the drilling rig are making a killing and I know that the every day worker doesn’t make near what he or she is worth. It’s wrong. Gas prices go up. Oil companies get rich. I [...]

The oil companies use this as a way to drill on our land without our permission.
What I’m wondering is what gives them the right [...]

If they paid people to lie before to protect their profit margins, why don’t conservatives believe big oil would do it again on [...]

"Most geologists believe that petroleum was derived from plant and animal material deposited in enormous quantities in sedimentary beds millions of years ago." That’s from the Encyclopedia Americana…. but if humans or at least "animals" (or even apes) similar to humans existed millions of years ago, could their remains be part of the petroleum/crude oil [...]
