we do need to do all of that
We should stop buying from the Middle East period!
Hell of a GOOD idea.
hey you mookabooking Saudi’s,
Quit producing, financing and supporting terror.
=Else maybe some president will come along and call you on it and pull all our support for your sorry asses.
Remember the vast majority of 9-11ers were saudis.
Remember the financing for 9-11 came from these same saudi savages.
A few well placed nukes on Saudi cities would be appropriate.
He will be attacked for this because so many - even supposed Constitutional/ Conservatives have gone to the "I want it fixed, but not in a way that might inconvenience me" side in complete ignorance of the fact that to fix what's wrong will cause most folks some degree of inconvenience and pain.
These "solid conservatives" jump on the same wagon that is laden with 'stop the potential move in the right direction" explosives and fail to see that they help perpetuate the slide into oblivion our Nation is undergoing....
The Powers That Be. The “deep government” and other power brokers, many unseen. George Soros and his ilk.
If you read the Douglas Southall Freeman Washington biography volumes he discusses Washington cash flow issues from bad tobacco years. Of course his capital asset value, i.e. The Lands, the value is incalculable, maybe the greatest portfolio ever amassed (other than than the King of England).
I agree, but there is a role for the EPA to play...
Things like:
Going after companies, paying for and cleaning up Superfund cleanup sites
Helping states coordinate regulations on waterways that cross state lines...
National testing of waterways for cleanliness...
Etc...
20 % of their current budget is PLENTY of money to run a vastly smaller and in control EPA...
“I think our terminology may be cross-wise. You are correct that ROI on earlier capital expenditure are greater due to lower initial capital costs., but I still stand by an API report (I’ll keep looking for it) that stated that the overall shale breakeven point for a “project” in it’s entire life is $50-$80 / bbl range.
Furthermore, even though the initial capital costs may be less, the yields reduce as the field ages. So it may be a closer wash more than you are stating.
“
I do not know how to make this more clear to you:
Capital costs following the initial drilling and completion of a well are negligible.
Any API report you might find is likely to be for a new capital project(read drilling new wells), which will have a higher crude price threshold for BE economics than the current oil price.
This is not rocket science, but old-fashioned oilpatch economics.

There is no role for the EPA. For one thing, it was created by Executive Orders in 1970. That should tell you something.
As far as ‘going after companies to cleanup Superfund sites’ you cannot possibly be serious.
Where do I start?
Ok, what about the state being the entity that cleans up? sounds more logical than a federal presence.
Do you happen to know that the worst polluter in the US is actually the federal government? It has done more damage to the environment by far than any other group.
How about the EPA going after the Interior Dept in the Colorado gold mine spill? Won’t happen.
Waterways are now defined by any possible rainfall onto a property that has any movement across a property. Means the EPA has TOTAL control over your land. Think that is beneficial for a free society?
The EPA is a demagogue, not some helper as your note suggests.
It needs to go into the trash-heap.
Perhaps increasing unemployment is another role for EPA to play as well?
“the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed Clean Power Plan rules could further dent jobs, according to economist Robert Godby of the University of Wyoming’s Center for Energy Economics and Public Policy. His analysis found the plan could reduce employment by 2.5% to 3.2% by 2030, compared with 2012 employment levels, as job loss in coal production would outweigh job gains in the natural-gas sector.”
You are telling me nothing I don’t already know...
The truth of the matter is the EPA is never going away...
Our best case is cut cutting their funding until it reigns in their vast over each....
That is defeatist and I reject. With that attitude, we would stll be under England
Should’ve happened on 9/12/2001. And if you really want to cripple the barbarians, frag their wells and spray their poppy fields with Agent Orange. Boom - there go their two biggest sources of income by far.
bkmk
Douglas Southall Freeman is one of those authors who has been on my must read list for years. But I did get around to Shelby Foote.
Young George wasn’t a surveyor for nothing. The Fairfax family owned Belvoir next Mount Vernon and were the largest landowners in Virginia. Lawrence Washington married Anne Fairfax and young half-brother George was included as part of the greater Fairfax clan, which probably set him on the road to being a successful land speculator.
There’s an interesting article here, “How Did Washington Make His Millions?”:

Thanks - good article. I’d always believed John Hancock was the acknowledged richest American of the era.
We should have got some of our own damned oil elsewhere and stayed out of that $hithole.
