I heard that when we went off the gold standard we tied the value of dollar to oil because we found a ton of oil up in Alaska. Instead of drilling up there we made a deal to buy foreign oil and tie our dollar to oil. We are keeping the oil off the [...]
Sure, ending foreign dependency on oil is what everyone claims this will do for us, as well as lower gas prices, but is this really the case? How long would it take for us to actually extract/refine the oil before it sees its way into the market? How much would it cost to setup such [...]
If he is so intent on doing something NOW, why doesn’t he just freeze the price of gas at a decent price???
Or put more of the existing rigs in TEXAS to work if he wants more oil????
Drilling for oil in our oceans, and trying to drill for oil in Alaska, is NOT the solution for [...]
If not, how does Fox News explain their theory of "supply and demand" in reference to the price of oil?
Why has the price of oil fallen so drastically without drilling for more of it either offshore or in Alaska?
The price of gasoline soared after the Exxon Valdez grounded in Alaska. As a matter of a fact, all petroleum companies increased their prices to rescue Exxon… And that was strange to me at the time..
How much are the jewels of the Queen of England worth?
This is a financial burden that American consumers should not [...]
It’s kind of ironic that now that Obama is allowing off shore drilling, and then month later there is an oil spill near one of the regions, The Gulf of Mexico.

I even used the liberal NY Times as my reference because some of you only believe sources that have the liberal bias

Better eat it before it is gone.
Bush just opened bristol bay, alaska to oil and gas drilling.
It is home to the world’s largest population of sockeye salmon.
It takes a war for oil, sending our troops to die for oil, gas prices skyrocketing, proposing to drill and destroy Alaska (one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. who’s ecosystem is already suffering from warming due to using gas), global warming and middle eastern powers and terrorists having something we need from [...]
billion in loan guarantees to build new new nuclear power plants.
Approved new oil and gas drilling off Virginia’s coast and in other parts of the mid- and south Atlantic, in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, and in waters off Alaska.
billion to fund the development of renewable energy manufacturing – specifically focused on [...]
Do you know the history of oil exploration on the east coast?

Actually, it looks like 51 exploratory wells were drilled in the 70s and 80s five found natural gas and/or condensate. (What the heck is condensate). Anyway they were abandon as not commercially viable?
Do you know where the lowest projected reserves in the country are?
Could [...]
but, yet, we have to raise costs on energy, double our costs in 4 years if his cap and trade bill gets passed? We have oil and natural gas right here in America! Not only that, some of the oil drilling and pipes in Alaska were actually shown to help the environment because they were [...]
…So in 1973, we said we should get off dependency to foreign oil and drill in our own land. We said we needed more technology like battery cars, hydrogen and ethenol, nuclear, wind, solar, yet today we are still facing the same old problem with the same old solutions. Eventually, back in 1973, we [...]
Exxon Mobil says it has begun drilling at Alaska’s Point Thomson oil and gas field.
Patrick McGinn, a company spokesman, says drilling operations were launched Friday.
In February, Exxon returned eight of its Point Thomson leases that were part of 13 added to the field in 2002. Exxon had promised to drill wells and begin producing oil [...]
I want to tell Chinese people that Hawaii and Alaska should be free.
America forcibly seized control of Hawaii from its native people in 1893. The Kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown by US Marines and thugs working for American plantation owners. The disenfranchised native Hawaiian people still struggle to maintain their identity.
America purchased [...]
In March 1989 the Exxon Valdez ran aground and spilled 240,000 barrels of crude petroleum off the coast of Alaska. One barrel of petroleum is equal to 42 gal. How many liters of petroleum were spilled?
"Our" supplies increased a lot with Iraq–they’re only second to Saudi Arabia! And oil is being shipped to China–from Alaska!
Supply exceeds demand and it has since the 90s.

What is the liberal answer? Mrs. BJ Clinton wants to tax the oil companies more. Won’t that just cause them to move to another country? Who is stopping us from drilling oil wells in the gulf of mexico or ANWAR in alaska, or building gasoline refineries, or using nuclear power?
Miss Kitty: you seriously think there are no oil wells in Alaska???? You’ve never heard of the North slope, Valdez, the Exxon oil spill, or the Alaskan pipeline?
I am interested in finding in finding a website or lots of people that feel as I do about high gas prices and drilling over here. My idea is that thousands of us block all roads into DC in protest of our not drilling for our own oil in the USA. This has went [...]
I am a Landman in southern New Mexico. I am looking for a change of scenery and I am thinking about relocating. Alaska is my first choice. If anyone has any ideas about searching (I have already searched local newspapers, job search engines and everything I can think of) or even companies hiring. I have [...]
Since I think natural gas is harder to transport across oceans I’m guessing most natural gas consumed in the US is produced nearby in the US, Alaska, and Canada. If the growing economies of China and India are pushing up world wide oil prices, it seems less plausible that this same effect could effect [...]
ANWR- Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, in Alaska.
Also: What about building a natural gas pipeline from Alaska thru Canada, to the Lower 48??
