The highest we’ve been is $4.29 9/10. So maybe your gas is a lot cheaper than ours to begin with.
And it’s quite a bit more, too. I feel sorry for truck drivers. No wonder food prices are going up so quickly.
The answer is no and no. She has NO shame and NO decency.
Actually, we hit 4.29 just before the Fourth of July.
That hurt our camping budget.
Mother-Of-All-Bumps!
Thank you!
I bet it did. My kids bought a camper and set it up on a campground by a lake. No gas problems there. But if you like travelling, it can really put a quench to it. It’s all ridiculous. The price of oil affects everything we do.
“Every single drilling rig on this Continent is already committed to do just that and most are already booked for years in advance. This is the best we can do with what we currently have.”
When you’re desperate, it’s better to abandon false rhetoric like this and just acknowledge the truth.
But if all you want to do is reveal the fact that you probably have a hidden agenda, start telling people how much they know or don’t know, and throw in some personal insults while you’re at it.
...eeevil, you are definitely spot on in your analysis of this and that Speaker Pelosi indeed needs to be investigated, as does anyone else in Congress that's a part of this shady rotten enterprise.
“I have been in this industry for the last 35 years and am rather high up the poll in regards to which drilling rig or company goes where.”
Be careful, if you’re too high up you’ll be subject to offers of bribery by the anti-drillers. Then you’ll say anything.
ty so much....
I am just overwhelmed by the way the American people have responded....
and btw— FREEPERS ROCK!!
Besides being in cahoots with Pelosi, CLNE - a T. Boone Pickens offshoot - is the sponsor for Proposition 10 on the CA ballot. CLNE will get some big money from CA to develop TBP’s energy policies. Also, he is in line for permanent federal subsidies.
Nancy baby is a BIG stockholder in both endeavors.
“This bitch is power maddened.She will show America who is boss.”
This is something that EVERY Reepublican candidate up for election/re-election should be running on—a vote for a Democrat will keep Nancy in power and keep the people’s house from working!
Not to argue the construction timeframe, but do you think Shell's $1B budget had anything to do with it? And then they spike in 5 years, and now barely run at 28% capacity. All with little promise of moving.
You make the call. Do you commit your company to a $1,000,000,000 investment, based on your political hope the Dems cave to ANWAR. Or even the Dakotas. Or unlimited GOM.
This is per rig BTW. At peak 80,000 to 100,000 bpd, how many do we need?
Without commitments, or at least strong indicies, how much of your company assets will you put in motion, or at least on "standby" ?
BTW, opening up limited GOM testing has dropped crude $30. Opening up other "famous" drilling areas will crush the price, (good for the consumer !!), but making the $1B investment payback a bit harder to reach.
I agree, Drill Here, Drill Now !, but let's set realistic expectations.
...as for Pickens, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
PSYCO-FREEP made the statement in Post 48 that "Every single drilling rig on this Continent is already committed to do just that and most are already booked for years in advance. This is the best we can do with what we currently have."
I was simply trying to make the point that one of the largest platforms in the GOM was produces so quickly. Smaller rigs and platforms can easily be produced for less money in similar amounts of time.
Just called Nancy Pelosi’s office. Her voice mail was on. She’s only taking comments from constituencies of her district, and requires a name and address for each comment. Mrs. Pelosi is currently not available, and not responsive to the public in her capacity as speaker.
Thanks for the ping and links.
Ping.
Thanks for the ping.
And your point on timeframe is a very valid one. And one that I agree with. My question is, at what cost, and ROI timeframe.
I don’t think it’s a question of what these companies CAN do, but what their WILLING to do.
