Reason: Liberal Marxist Elitist Demoncraps and RINOS.
Seems like we have one of those RINOs running as the presumed Republican Presidential Candidate this year.
He ain’t getting my vote.
What and leave the delightful ND winters?
They are offering my son-in-law who has a MS in Geology his own business if he'll move to Calgary. How is the living up there?
He stupid! There is no one source for our energy independence. That’s why we need to exploit All our resources. I suspect you are one of those enviro-wackos who wants us to return to the good old days. You know. The ones where sanitation, refrigeration, mechanization and medication didn’t help us reach the current expectancy of 78 years of quality life.
Keep smiling, drink all the beer you want and keep the coffee pot hot, Mr Bartelson. Just don’t pull a “Jeb” and move to Beverly Hills. God bless you and grant many more years to enjoy you success.
Any Questions, Liberals?
I am not in the oil industry, I am just a plain ole American citizen that is sick to death of seeing everything in our country outsourced.
Being naive, I can’t understand how countries to the north of us and south of us have enough oil that they can export it but we, being smack dab in the middle don’t have any.
Nothing is impossible if you want it bad enough. In 3 years we were able to build an atomic bomb which ended WW2 and you’re telling us that with technology today we cannot get oil?
Do we need and alternative sources of energy, of course. Get the government out of it and let individuals develop it. I hate when I hear that we are addicted to oil. Natural human inguenutity will alway find ways to invent and produce. Pulling ethenol out of blue was downright stupid because nobody thought of the ramifications, as usual.
We need to drill and drill now, no matter how hard it will be. You can’t just give up or give in to the globalists that hate our guts.
Being self sufficient is the American Way. The ripple effect of us drilling is enormous, the jobs created, the tax es collected and so on.
But hey, what do I know.
I might get my degree in geology. I want to fine OIL for Americans*
* Americans -- NON LIBERALS
Are you an A$$ from the Daily Kos? Or do you just play one on FR?
I guess I'll thank you for your support of Hussien Obama in November! McCain is not who I would want but he is better then Hussien.
Some of you are so STUPID. A Third party won't win - and you'll help MARXISM spread with your vote. Dumba$$es.
I have been following developments, and investing in the Bakken even before EOG hit it big. You have your opinion, and I have mine. I think you are wrong. Only time will tell, but I have made a fortune, how about you?
Its not an easy degree to get. I couldn’t pronounce the names of some of his text books. I’m very proud of him and he is a good musician. sigh.
What is your point? I seriously doubt that anyone has ever asserted that any single source would yield what we require daily.
It makes good since for America to utilize its 500 year supply of oil, gas, and coal prudently.
I remember as a child he had a gang truck.
One of the hired hands from the university (future engineers) had attached a bumper sticker about being a piano player.
Dad at the end of Summer would give all the young college kids a coffee mug that said “I'm so smart I make myself sick”.
Nothing like running a long handled Mexican backhoe squaring up ditches to help make a young kid decide to stay in college and get an education.
Great post many of us totally agree.
One error in the story. The farmer is a royalty holder, not a driller. If he owns the mineral rights, he gets 1/8th (usually) of the money from the oil.
>>But aren’t we far better off if we drill between
>>50 and 150 miles offshore? Doesn’t it all
>>happen much quicker?
What, and displace the Communist Chinese? American natural resources can only be used if such usage advances the globalist cause.
Which reminds me...
Hey BP, GTHOOMC! - ‘cause WE didn’t vote for your monarchies.
Good story. Years ago I remember high school boys doing roofing jobs in the summer. They were paid more than anyone else, got a great tan, built muscles, and swore they would never do that job again, ever! ;^)
