Bingo. Get what you can, and then go for more. Trying to get everything at once gets you nothing.
I can’t put in adequate words how disillusioned I have become with the way the system our Founding Fathers established for us has been stolen by both the major political parties.
Gee, seemed pretty concise and to the point to me. Always good to hear from the southern command. Oh if only the founders were allowed to return as a group to counsel us, but, we were not left without their words of wisdom.
Were they to return, methinks they would say no more or less than what they said in the beginning, and so it behooves us to pay close attention to what the Fathers envisioned for this nation. I agree, those we have elected as our representatives have lost sight of the Big Picture, The vision of the founders.
Try to have a “good day”

About 2 MMBPD. The average flow rate for 1988 was 2,033,082 BPD.

It peaked at 2.1 MMBPD during 1988 and is approximately the design limitation.

717,042 BPD has been the average rate this year.
Make that 1/3 capacity.
Backhoe, you forgot that B Hussein’s energy plan will involve solar panels on your roof, bicycling to work, $4/gal taxes on fuel, expensive carbon offsets, mandatory “lights-out” directives after 11 PM, astronomical electricity taxes, abolition of vehicles weighing more than 2000 lbs (without a government-aproved permit), and cleaning your clothing in the river alongside other charming natives.
Thanks, been to the pipeline site numerous times, but somehow missed the yearly figures you posted. So initially it seems a short pipeline from ANWR to the Alyeska pipeline would do the job.
The Dems and some Reps just want a bill for political cover before the elections, just like the October 2006 Secure Fence Act. Taking ANWR off the table just makes the political cover that much easier, especially for the Dems and our nominee, McCain.
Yes and the existing Badami Pipeline connects to Pump Station #1 and ends 30 miles from ANWR. It would not be big enough for peak flow rates but would be useful for early starting of some initial fields on the East Side.
Gov Palin was involvd in a chain reaction SUV collision incident of about five SUVs. Her SUV was hit in the rear by an SUV driven by someone who has habitually not paid attention while driving. Nobody hurt.
The new pumps together are designed for a maximum flow rate of 1 MMBPD but are of a modular design and the equipment and tie-ins are designed to add pump and supporting equipment to scale up to 2 MMBPD if the flow rate ever approaches more than 1 MMBPD.
I don't know where that would be documented in a publicly available online site. Much of the Strategic Reconfiguration Project has been a disaster in Project Management.
I was enrolled in a Master's Program for Project Management. The course director was looking for someone willing to gather information and do a thesis on it. But he warned it was better for someone near retirement or planning to move as it would likely be a career ending project for anyone working with any of the majors in Alaska. He was called in to consult well after people were getting fired for the mess. It makes the New Denver Airport look like a well run project.
Sen Stevens issued a complete report on this a month ago. The whole story. All this information has been available all along.
That’s right..go for the whole loaf..max political gain...drive a stake thru their eco-hearts.
Yes, I look forward to scrapping my electric razor and plucking my whiskers out, Indian-style, with a pair of clamshells...
I'm really not kidding about my post-election "plan," regardless of who comes out on top:
( "Win" doesn't really describe it well...)
Jump in the swamp
Dig a hole
Jump in the hole
Pull the hole in after me
As the late George Carlin said, “The word ‘bipartisan’ means that some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out.”
If they do manage to get offshore drilling passed I’m sure it will be with the provision that the states have a say regarding their shores so it’s not likely to be a complete victory. For instance, California will certainly decline and I think Florida may too, even with Crist’s sudden conversion.
Senate Republicans have dropped the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from their energy policy discussions, focusing instead on persuading Democrats to lift a moratorium on offshore drilling. It's a move that has angered the longtime standard-bearer for drilling in ANWR, U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, who has vowed to put the issue back in front of his colleagues in the Senate. "It's not off my table," Stevens said. "Unless you include Alaska in an energy solution, it's a non-solution."President Obama will be happy to drill the ANWR.
President Bush needs to fly up to Alaska, CARRY ALL THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS WITH HIM, then fly them all to the test well-head in ANWR.
Hold a news conference there. Ask the reporters to look around and the cameramen to pan around.
Then ask them “WHAT IS SO SACRED ABOUT THIS BARREN WILDERNESS THAT WE CAN’T DRILL FOR THE BILLIONS OF BARRELLS OF OIL HERE? CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN TODAY AND D*E*M*A*N*D that we begin drilling. TODAY!”
That would work wondrs for the price of oil.
