Will Obama allow drilling and new oil refineries to be built if gas gets over ________________
I say at .50 he will talk about it
at he will present a half hearted attempt at it
and when we reach .00 he would turn into Sarah Palin on energy policy. Drill baby drill – Alaska, off the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. We all agree alternative energy needs to be used but thats years if not decades away, The public needs [...]
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 [...]
"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. I’ve been reminding our people that we can do so in environmentally friendly ways," he said. "And yet the Congress, the Democratically controlled Congress now has refused to budge. It [...]

Could you help me find some websites for these points?
* Most oil in the acean comes from seapage from the earth, not oil spills
*We need oil for plastic and many other products, not just for energy
*Green energy is still 15 to 20 years away.
*Expenses for alternative energy are too great, and the power output is [...]
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 [...]
…(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 [...]
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 [...]
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.
Their usual answer is that we have to protect our environment and wildlife. So, it is OK to use [...]
other than imagined stores of petroleum (maybe under the north pole…), at what amounts are now known to be true amounts, how long will it take for all the petroleum in the earth to be depleted? consider not that our population shall double in 20 years, just consider that it remains the same and [...]
Most of current machine need petroleum for energy resource but the petroleum deposit currently becoming smaller from day to day. Many new alternative energy is prepared to replace it such as ethanol, hydrogen, etc. But to replace or modify current machines to fit with those new energy will cost much.
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. [...]
During the election, President-Elect Obama said he supported Oil/Gas exploration (including offshore drilling) under pressure from polling that showed 70% of Americans believed that oil/gas exploration was an important component in addressing our energy needs and foreign dependence on oil. Today he announced his intention to reverse the presidential order to permit such exploration [...]
