If he survives the vetting process, which must be a condition... one of the issues in the next race should certainly be energy prices...

Why don’t we figure out what % of the USA the
Tyrant Emperor and his Marxist Czars and Czarinos
represent, ... and what % of US gasoline consumption
is actually consumed by THEM?

the world's proven oil reserves.

Key key word is proven (actually should be called "proved")

Oil is not allowed in the proved reserves column until it is drilled and flow tested.

By keeping large areas not available from exploration and production, he artificially lowers the amount of the actual oil in the ground to be counted as proved reserves.

Obama is also parroting Marxist rhetoric about the US using disproportionately too much of the “world’s” resources that must be shared with everyone. What the US does with its use of oil is to quite literally feed the world, serve as the world center for new innovation and invention and give ALL its people the highest standard of living in the world. Obama wants to end all this.

He's told us he wants to bankrupt the coal industry, get us out of gas-driven cars and into electrical clunkers

Either way, coal can be converted to liquid fuels and gas, further enhancing the supply. Clean burning coal-gas can also be used to generate the electricity desperately needed for the liberals' sacred electric cars.

The coal gasification plants should be built at or near the mining sites. Underground pipelines should be run to power-plants near the filthy communist cities where it is used, rather than the inefficient power robbing high tension transmission lines currently in use.

We have so much oil,it's seeping up from the ocean floor through relief cracks.Years of vital resources untapped and unused. Absolutely galling.

2012 can't come soon enough.
