Friday, April 1st, 2011

Will Obama allow drilling and new oil refineries to be built if gas gets over ________________
I say at .50 he will talk about it

Is the Obama administration repeating the same mistakes as the Carter WH did, regarding energy policy?

Friday, March 11th, 2011

The Obama administration is repeating the mistakes of President Jimmy Carter’s failed energy policies, which marred his term and stigmatized the 1970s. They are leading us straight into another national energy disaster.
Key members of the Obama administration believe this friction abroad underscores the need to move away from oil and gas entirely and shift to [...]

Conservatives, according to figures in the Weekly Oil Inventory report, domestic oil production accounts for a?

Sunday, March 6th, 2011

little less than one third of typical consumption. That means even if all drilling restrictions were lifted, and domestic production doubled, we’d still be roughly 5.5 million barrels per day short of what we need to achieve energy independence.

What measures (conservation or alternative energy strategies) would you recommend to make up for [...]

When will your party address the oil shortage in the US causing gas to be 3.00 and over a gallon?

Sunday, February 6th, 2011

The US has untapped oil and natural gas both underground and off shore, yet your party blocks any and all efforts for recovery of our own natural resources forcing imported oil and gasoline to be used.

whats worse? blood diamonds or blood oil?

Friday, January 28th, 2011

the media, the entertainers, the government sanctions(ie kimberly certification amongst others) to stop the trade of blood diamonds from africa?
yet nobody seems to mind the blood that the american people and the middle eastern people have to shed so everyone can use petroleum.
that’s probably because petroleum is connected to gas, oil, plastics, manufacturing, and pretty [...]

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

"We can help alleviate shortages by drilling for oil and gas in our own country, something I’ve been advocating ever since I’ve been the president.

Why will it take 10 years for offshore drilling to bring down oil price

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

That’s what Mr Obama is saying. Personally, I don’t understand why it will take that long. If you do, please explain in defense of Mr Obama.
I think, we should pursue BOTH offshore drilling and alternative energy. Both will take time to take effect. Alternative energy requires change in our societal and [...]

Do liberals want (a.) less offshore drilling, (b.) higher gas prices…..or…. ?

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

…(c.) less shore drilling, higher gas prices, and the biggest oil spill disaster in the history of the USA on Obama’s watch?
Maybe liberals should ride horses so we can reduce our oil consumption.
It bothers me that liberals could care less there is an oil spill in the Gulf when a liberal president is in charge. [...]

Some experts predict that at this rate gas is going to hit 7 dollars by the end of summer.
My question is why can’t people boycott gas by buying less gas so rather then buying say 10 gallons of gas a week. Can’t people such as yourself like cut it into half?
I know people talk [...]

What will it take for Americans to realize that we need to work even harder to find alternative energy?

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

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 [...]

Why doesn’t the Democrats allow more offshore oil drilling?

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Because the Democrats do not allow offshore drilling. Bill Clinton refused to sign a bill to allow offshore drilling in the 90’s. Again, today, the democrats are not allowing it.
And yes, US has lots of oil.

what is the best alternative to substitute petroleum without big effort to modify current machines?

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Are there any environmentally-friendly public companies that benefit when the price of oil falls?

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Most environmentally-friendly companies, especially the ones involved in producing alternative energy like wind and solar, suffer when the price of oil falls. It’s cheap to burn gas, which makes the alternatives less attractive.
The price of oil being as volatile as it is, a green portfolio with nothing but alt-energy stocks would be volatile and risky. [...]
