Why Natural Gas Prices are High

It's actually much easier to get someone to believe in wind power than in Jesus.

So I musta been right about the Lutheran thing?

"The wind is always blowing somewhere"

The wind doesn't blow... it sucks!!! It's being sucked to the adjacent low pressure area in an effort to be like Hitlery Clinton and equalize everything to the lowest common denominator!!! Thus, it sucks!!!

your employer wouldn't have acquired the acreage or rolled the dice. I'm sure you know this is true.

You're wrong and missed my point totally. First I'm self employed and when I made numerous decisions over the fifteen years I've been doing this, to acquire acreage and drill, gas was around $1.50 to $2.75, depending on which year it was. Enviro policies have only recently been affecting demand and they have NOTHING to do with whether or not a well I drill is a dry hole or successful. Three years ago we drilled several wells when the price was $2.00 and below; they still paid out in less than six months.

Don't worry, I won't tell your buddies.
Wow, that must've hurt. I'm touched. ;O)
Wow, that must've hurt, too. ;O)

I'm sure you think the sarcasm is kinda cute, but it gets real friggin' old for me.

I'll counter that all we need is a 21st Century grid, and wind can be every bit as reliable as your gas. The wind is always blowing somewhere and it's certainly viable enough to provide economical power for peak demands.

When we get one, we'll see.

Jesus is my friend. I'll let slide the arrogant comment.

You're on a major roll today.

[newgeezer]

Okay, you're self-employed. I admire that.

I'm sure you think the sarcasm is kinda cute, but it gets real friggin' old for me.

Duly noted.

Your seeming continued denial of the effect of the environuts on the demand for your services -- even if not your own job -- is either fascinating or "friggin' old." I guess it depends on how one chooses to look at it.

At any rate, I've enjoyed the conversation, and hope you have, too. See you around.

Jesus is my friend.

Thou believest that Jesus is thy friend; thou doest well: the Doobie Brothers also believe, and tremble. (James 2:19)

(Sorry, couldn't resist! No offense intended.)

[biblewonk]

What arrogant comment, the Jesus part wasn't about you it was a general statement since I've spent a lot of time telling people about the Lord. It makes the windmill discussion seem pretty trivial actually.

[BOBTHENAILER]

You've been so arrogant I have to assume you are an RC or a Lutheran.

That comment.

[SierraWasp]

Yeah, but I got in trouble with Liz over your pedophile thingy!

[Liz]

(Sniffle) That sad look of contriteness on your face really gets to me (sob).

OK, OK, (sniffle) all is forgiven.

[SierraWasp]

"OK, OK, (sniffle) all is forgiven"

Oh! Thank you!!! Thank You!!!

[BOBTHENAILER]

I guess it depends on how one chooses to look at it.

I guess. You see, I live, eat. breath and invest tons of dinero in oil & gas. I suspect you DON'T have any of your own money in wind projects, much less every last penny you have.

When you do, it tends to clarify one's thinking tremendously. Kinda like having a gun to your head, as opposed to paying $7.00 for a movie ticket to fantasize about having a gun to your head. Comprende?

[BOBTHENAILER]

Forgive him, Liz, he's a spur of the moment, fun, kinda wasp. He's got a sting though, so beware.

Better we let "the stinger" loose on a bunch of Dummycrats.

[biblewonk]

That wasn't arrogant.

[SierraWasp]

"Better we let "the stinger" loose on a bunch of Dummycrats."

Boy! I bees ready ta start stingin 'em today, after watchin that Bubba style "Townhall Meeting" sick-in by Davis last night!!! YUCK!!! (those extra punctuations are my stingers)

[Liz]

Go get 'em, stinger.

[SierraWasp]

"Go get 'em, stinger."

Just so's I don't git my wings clipped!!!

Can't make much of a "buzz" with that happening!!!
