My friend sent me this from an op-ed:
** Palin announced a 0 bounty for wolves because wolves prey on moose and caribou, two favorite targets for hunters in Alaska.
** Palin instituted a program to encourage hunters to kill wolves so that there would be more moose and caribou for hunters to kill.
** Palin has [...]
The World Will Not End in 2012
Because the Mayans had said it was their calendar that would end, not ours. And how also, how on Earth is a deadly plague going to strike us just like that?, and even if it did happen, it would have to be Magical and I’m 100% sure that Magic [...]
I know this is almost irrelevant now, but what if we had invested in hydrogen fuel cell infrastructure, nuclear power plants, and domestic oil and gas exploration? What if we had begun drilling in ANWR? What would our country look like now? What would the unemployment rate be? How dependent would we then be on [...]
I live in So. Texas where there’s been the recent explosion in oil and gas exploration and drilling and I was just curious if the rig workers are responsible for their own meals (do they bring their lunches?) Most of the rigs around here are in remote rural locations and while driving by one of [...]

"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 [...]
The proposal from Republicans in the Lone Star state makes the following claims related to the party’s view of homosexuality:
•"We believe that the practice of homosexuality tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit, and leads to the spread of dangerous, communicable diseases."

As President Obama and his team of regulators bring domestic oil production to a crawl via their moratorium on offshore drilling, standstill on drilling permits, and myriad regulations on accessing oil on public lands, is it any wonder that oil and gas prices are climbing toward the record highs we saw in 2008, prior to [...]

I have about 50 acres of land in Louisiana. A person on a neighboring piece of land about 400 yards over is having a well put in place on his land. I’m almost positive that there is oil and gas on my property as well. Testing has shown oil to be throughout [...]
"McCain is stuck in a conundrum: express support for the Gang of Ten and incur the wrath of anti-tax crusaders or continue rolling the dice against public opinion and risk being painted as a stooge of the oil lobby. His .3 million in oil and gas donations in June only furthers the frame.
"I think the [...]
And why isn’t the government, while it’s so busy clamoring for "more drilling," punishing companies for safety violations that are getting increasing numbers of workers killed?
"SNYDER, Texas – Less than two months into the job in the oilfields of West Texas, Brandon Garrett was sliced in half by a motorized spool of steel cable as [...]
With Bush coming before congress today, who hopes that we will begin to start drilling off of our coastline etc. If you are for tell me why, and if you are against tell me why also.
I personally think it will be a good thing because we will begin to take steps towards [...]
Several month back, President Bush firmly committed to domestic drilling as a facet of America’s energy policy and as a means of breaking our dependence on foreign oil. The left, particularly Obama, said that this would have no affect on the price of oil or gasoline. And yet within weeks, the price of oil dropped [...]

136 oils and gas platforms have been destroyed in the Gulf of Mexico just since Katrina.
"Ike demolished at least 28 oil and gas platforms in the Gulf, according to data released Tuesday afternoon by the Minerals Management Service, the federal agency that oversees offshore drilling. That is nearly three times the number of facilities [...]
One of Obama’s arguments is that multinationals have paid an average tax rate of just 2% on their foreign revenues. While this may be true for companies that choose to have operations in countries with very low tax rates, the oil industry goes to resource-rich countries and operates under tax regimes that are often onerous.

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. The administration lifted the long-standing ban on offshore drilling in March but almost immediately restored it following the BP oil leak disaster in the Gulf. The ban was lifted [...]
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, [...]
