USGS Announces Its Largest Oil And Gas Discovery Ever In The States

Thank you Lord for giving us The United States of America. Is there anywhere else on Earth as beautiful and as full of the resources required to support and sustain its people?

Instead, you have Chuckie Schumer, Chris Dodd and Barney Frank to thank for your difficulties. They are the ones who “made it happen”. Oh, not to mention the Democrat Senators as a group, who filibustered the bill designed to correct the problems (the 2005 Mortgage Lending & Financial Reform Act).

Dodd-Frank was signed in 2010, so it’s a “RAT response” to the 2007 debacle. The hard fact of the matter is that Boosh was president with the crap hit the fan and my bet is that he was so wrapped up with his wars of liberation that he didn’t pay much attention to what was going on with the banksters.

I’ve been poking fun at the term “fossil fuel” for decades.
The very idea of oil coming from dinosaurs is hysterical.

Capped-off, dead wells in La. have been revisited decades later to be found replenished.

Read “The Deep Hot Biosphere” by Gold (Forgot first name). Oil is continuously made by the rotation of the Earth.
Well, that's a theory. It certainly isn't proven or widely accepted.

Funny how hydrocarbons are all over the outer solar system. Pretty sure we’re not going to find any fossils on Titan or Pluto.

There is a huge swath of “science” that is nothing more than secular humanist fantasy.

So the USGS made this discovery? Who knew that Obama has had crews out doing sesmic surveys? Maybe when the oceans started receding they allowed all this Texas Tea to bubble up.

Next up: massive amounts of clean coal found by the BLM.

I support the abiotic theory of where fossil fuels come from: Deep underground microbes.

NOT DINOSAURS!

[HereInTheHeartland]

The endangered Texas Permian snail is in that area. Obama won’t let any oil extraction happen.

Dodd-Frank was signed in 2010, so it’s a “RAT response” to the 2007 debacle.

I wasn't referring to Dodd-Frank. Instead I was referring to Sen. Chris Dodd, Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, and Cong. Barney Frank, Chairman of the House Banking Committee. They knew what was going on at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Indeed they had helped plan it, were profiting from it...and then conspired to hide it.
