Excerpt from the header: “Part of “figuring it out” surely had something to do with the recent decision by Obama to nix the Canadian Keystone XL pipeline project that would have pumped 700,000 barrels of oil per day into the United States. More oil just means more excessive, immoral, ugly energy use.

Well, get used to it. You can’t take three steps without stepping over some potential 10-billion barrel reserve of dead organisms.

According to the Institute for Energy Research, there is enough natural gas in the U.S. to meet electricity demand for 575 years at current fuel demand, enough to fuel homes heated by natural gas for 857 years and more gas in the U.S. than there is in Russia, Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and some place called Turkmenistan combined.

Oil? The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that the United States could soon overtake Saudi Arabia and Russia to become the world’s top oil producer. There are tens of billions of easily accessible barrels of offshore oil here at home — and much more oil around the world.”

http://www.newt.org/solutions/american-energy-plan

Newt’s American Energy Plan:

Remove bureaucratic and legal obstacles to responsible oil and natural gas development in the United States, offshore and on land.

End the ban on oil shale development in the American West, where we have three times the amount of oil as Saudi Arabia.

Give coastal states federal royalty revenue sharing to give them an incentive to allow offshore development.

Reduce frivolous lawsuits that hold up energy production by enacting loser pays laws to force the losers in an environmental lawsuit to pay all legal costs for the other side.

Finance cleaner energy research and projects with new oil and gas royalties.

Replace the Environmental Protection Agency, which has become a job-killing regulatory engine of higher energy prices, with an Environmental Solutions Agency that would use incentives and work cooperatively with local government and industry to achieve better environmental outcomes while considering the impact of federal environmental policies on job creation and the cost of energy.

Pixie dust is the only energy source that makes sense. Unlike hydrocarbons, it creates no CO2. Unlike Solar power, it doesn’t displace wildlife. Unlike Biofuel, it doesn’t decrease the world’s food supply. Unlike wind power, it down’t kill birds. Unlike nuclear power, it doesn’t frighten Jane Fonda. Pixie dust is the only answer, I say!

Democrats only like high gas prices when they’re high because of taxes.

The dems want to act like this is the only complaint against Obama too. They think we have forgotten the past three years of economic depression because he finally managed to fuzzy up the economic statistics enough to claim that things are turning around thanks to his stewardship no less. what a joke. FUBO. you are national disaster. Your administration has made Jimmy Carter look good and made plenty of people realize that George Bush wasn’t so bad after all in hindsight. Unemployment is still rampant. Foreclosures are on the rise again now that your stalling tactics are over. You have created more debt in three years than the first 41 presidents combined and we have nothing to show for it except sky high inflation at the gas pump and the supermarket. Then there’s the record increase in the use of food stamps and record number of people that have fallen into poverty under your administration. I repeat, you are a disaster obama and sky high gas prices are just one aspect of the disaster that is you.

I would remind us that petroleum is found at levels way deeper than any plants or dinosaurs could have existed. In fact, it’s found in places that have never seen the light of day since the beginning. Also, the fields are under pressure, moving upward when possible. I have questions concerning this.

Don't worry....Obama's FY2013 Budget (second term) has the EPA targeting all fossil fuels for a rectal examination.

US FY 2013 Budget: EPA focuses on vehicle emissions, hydraulic fracturing, harmful chemicals, green infrastructure, and Chesapeake bay restoration

What are the chances the ineffectual campaign commercial writers for the GOP will run ads showing various high gas prices and then immediately follow those images with Chu saying he wanted us to be paying, at minimum, the same as Europe or the messiah saying “under my plan energy prices will necessaraly skyrocket”?

I seriously doubt it. They had the perfect anti-Hussein weapon with the phony/fake Rev. Wright and his G-D America rants and refused to run it 24/7 as they should have.

We are at war with an enemy using Saul Alinsky tactics (AKA no rules, anything goes) and the GOP tries to play nice. What a bunch of wimps.

They are so afraid of being called racist because they oppose this criminal Marxist in the WH. Well I say if the big BO is the best the Black Community has to offer then they DO have a serious problem and if telling the truth is racist then I’ll proudly be a truth telling racist.
