To make matters worse, he has also shutdown Off Shore Alaska Drilling. Also, Food Prices are rising, since it takes 40 percent of America’s corn production to produce a measly 8 % of our energy needs with the amount of Ethanol that is produced. We had better hurry up and Vote Obama Out, [...]
Let’s say we drilled every drop in Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico, etc, how long could the USA run on that oil and how much would it cost?
I’m guessing gas would be .00, and it would last maybe 20 years.
Cheaper? Supply and demand much?
right now the rise in gas prices is directly attributed to greater profit margins for gasoline refiners, gasoline reserves are in the upper limit of the average range for this time of year, refinery utilization capacity is only 83.4%, the amount of gasoline supplied to the market is increasing at less than the 3.5% growth [...]

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 [...]
The Obama administration issued the first new deep-water drilling permit for the Gulf of Mexico since the BP oil spill, stoking cautious optimism Monday among some industry executives and Gulf Coast politicians about local oil and gas exploration.

BP has all that oil floating off the Gulf of Mexico, why is it going to waste? Isn’t there a way for oil companies to use this wasted oil? Couldn’t the oil be separated from water?

A new seven-year ban on oil and gas drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and along eastern seaboard was put in place two weeks ago.

Oil drilling is the commercial activity of drilling for, and exploiting subterranean petroleum or hydrocarbon resources. For decades there has been a federal moratorium on new offshore oil drilling for much of the continental United States. In September 2008, under pressure by high oil prices and the status of drilling as a Presidential campaign issue, [...]
A 2004 study by the government’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) found that drilling in ANWR would trim the price of gas by 3.5 cents a gallon by 2027. (If oil prices continue to skyrocket, the savings would be greater, but not by much.) Opening up offshore areas to oil exploration — currently all coastal areas [...]
Oil and Coal are called "fossil fuels". It is pretty clear where coal comes from. there are Peat bogs, then brown coal, then bituminous coal, then anthricite coal. There seems to be a pretty definate relationship.
Oil fields are found in Alaska, the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Persian Gulf, Venezuala, California, Canada. [...]

* 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 [...]
Ethanol has caused world hunger and is a net .02 loss per gallon. It takes 1 gallon of gasoline to create 1.23 gallons of Ethanol, but Ethanol only get 75% of the same energy. Your car goes 20 mpg with Gas and only 15mpg with Ethanol. So do the math and you [...]
