Why can't the GOP be talking about such things?
Because at heart the GOP does not believe in them...
Or the one GOP guy that promoted oil could not remember the names of three large govt departments he wanted closed.
“An energy boom is revving up the U.S. economy.”
Can’t be happening. It would take 10 years (or so we were all told).
That pizza business did $1.6 MILLION last year!
(According to a guy I know who works for an investment company active in the Williston Basin)
Who’d a thunk it!? Develop our resources and everyone lives better!
By 2017 America will be the largest exporter of natural gas and oil....in the world. The infrastructure is being built as I type. Drill Baby Drill...is happening now. The pipelines and compressor stations are going in now as well......;)

How can this possibly be? Gasoline is up $.41 per gallon here in Aiken County, SC since the beginning of the year. And we’ve got some of the lowest gas prices in the country.
Here in Texas, the Oil & Gas boom is most certainly lifting our economy...thanks be to God!
I worked for Carriage Carpets an eon ago. That was our market. Carpeted, pre-fabricated homes.
i paid $3.59 a gallon for gas Monday. Up from less than $2 a gallon a couple years ago.
Where's the progress?
Buy yourself one of those nat gas Honda Civics they build here in Indiana:

You’ll be driving for half price :-)
Maybe one at a time . . if I cut everything in half . . and tie 'em to the roof . . and the wind don't blow us over . . .

The 190 mile range is rather short. I use to get 300+ on my old Chevy Monza 4 spd with 11 gallon tank. With a 700 mile drive from DC to Lafayette, Indiana several times a year, that is a lot of stopping for refilling. I can make it now in my Saturn Vue with 1 stop to refuel in zanesville, OH and then refill in Lafayette. This sounds like a “putter around town” type car, not one to go on trips in, unless they get a larger CNG tank.
Nice to hear.
Now 0bamao can take credit for election time.
There is a gas station in that area, with a carry out pizza business in the back That pizza business did $1.6 MILLION last year!
No sale here either. There is no way this is "lifting" the entire U.S. economy.
I don't care how many slop joints are making a buck.
First, we need more refineries.
Next, the EPA rules for all the different gasoline blends in different geographic regions, and different seasons, really screws up the supply chain.
Look, it is hard to find anything positive out there, for a guy like me in the investment and insurance business.
Shale Oil and Shale Natural Gas is BIG! The only positive story I can find to talk about!!
Insurance biz?
Nothing personal, but there is not enough space here for me to tell ya the contempt I have for the insurance racket.
