Drill Here, Drill Now- (Live Thread, Day X)
8/14/08 | Sherri Reese

Posted on 08/14/2008 6:33:52 AM PDT by eeevil conservative

Be sure to READ THIS!!

New FTC Rule Could Apply To Pelosi

BEHOLD the Power of the People, and the Power of

 

Nancy: "most open, most honest, and most ethical Congress in history"

Nancy: "and Democrats promise to work together in a bi-partisan way for all Americans."

What is the truth about Nancy?

"Madam Speaker has a substantial amount of money invested in Clean Energy Fuels Corporation." dontgo

"T Boone Pickens runs CLNE, this is the company Nancy has invested in, and apparently, the push is Natural Gas, which is the focus of the $5 billion in Ca. tax money and $5 billion in fed money they are seeking."

From the same article:

"the investors in this ponzi scheme are banking on keeping the price of energy high, keeping the supply of domestic oil low on the basis of “environmental concerns”, and getting the government to invest BILLIONS in their plans, which will concentrate energy resources into fewer hands while making them all filthy rich."

"Only 20% of Americans now oppose offshore drilling.." Rasmussen

We have THREE DEMANDS for both the House AND the Senate! (call both House and Senate offices)

1) Congress MUST STOP PROTECTING Nancy's purse, get back to Washington, DC and vote on the American Energy Act!

2) Begin an IMMEDIATE investigation into CLNE, Pelosi, and other investors!

3) Demand that the Broadcaster Freedom Act be brought to the floor for a vote!

MELT THE LINES TODAY FOLKS!!!

 

As for the Gang of 10.

I had several conversations with these offices yesterday. They NEED to hear from us.

WE WANT THE BOEHNER BILL!

1) The House (Republican and Dem) has heard the people and know that this is the bill we want.

2) The Senate (this may be a surprise to some) actually represents the EXACT same people the House does! (amazing isn't it)

3) PREGO! yes, PREGO! It's in there! Boehner's Bill includes renewables, solar, wind, nuclear, AND drilling.

4) We don't want "something done" for the sake of "getting something done." WE WANT A SOLUTION!

5) If ANYTHING needs to added to the Boehner bill it is this, we need to allow drilling without interference of baseless lawsuits from anti-progress, anti-independence yahoos.

6) If BOEHNER'S BILL is not able to pass the Senate- then let the PEOPLE see that the Republicans offered solutions, and the Dems BAWKED!

7) If nothing gets passed-- well, the sunset on the congressional moretoreum will expire and then.......

LET THE DRILLING BEGIN!!!!!!!!!

Call the "Gang"

Lindsey Graham

John Thune

Saxby Chambliss

Bob Corker

Johnny Isakson

 

HERE is the House Bill

HERE is the "press release" from our "Gang"

No matter WHAT excuse or explanation they give you. You tell them- WE WANT THE HOUSE BILL- THERE IS NO NEED FOR GANGS! NONE! THIS IS WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT!

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.

Actually, we hit 4.29 just before the Fourth of July.

That hurt our camping budget.

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.

Small wonder why even Obama was quoting T. Boone Pickens' Wind Farm mantra: Mr. Pickens and Ms. Pelosi are in cahoots and stand to gain quite a bit of revenue from the gas prices going through the roof...and all at the expense of cash strapped Americans who can ill afford to invest in these crazy Pie In The Sky type ventures.

...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.

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!

How long did it take the Brutus Platform to start producing from it's planning stage?

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.

Just for that, I sincerely hope Proposition 10 goes down in flames.

...as for Pickens, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

With all due respect to everyone, my question was in regard to the length of time it took to produce this platform.

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.

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.
