Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump laid out his energy plan to industry experts Thursday that included policies to unleash $50 trillion from “untapped” oil, natural gas and coal reserves.
Trump said “untapped energy — some $50 trillion in shale energy, oil reserves and natural gas on federal lands, in addition to hundreds of years of coal energy reserves,” according to The Wall Street Journal report on the candidate’s speech at an energy summit in Pittsburgh, Penn.
It’s all part of Trump’s plan to boost lagging energy production on federal lands. Trump said he would open up all federal lands to drilling, mining and even renewable energy — that includes opening more offshore areas to energy production.
Trump also told energy industry executives and insiders he would repel “all unnecessary regulations, and a temporary moratorium on new regulations not compelled by Congress or public safety.”(continued)

If water is free, then why do you have to pay a water bill every month to your city?
“If water is free, then why do you have to pay a water bill every month to your city?”
The water is free, mostly rain. You pay for the infrastructure. A lot of the oil is from Gov land and belongs to the people already. We pay infrastructure costs there too.(plus profit)
I was in the Navy then.
It was a sea change.
The first law passed by Reagan and the Congress was a 13.4% military pay raise as part of the defense bill that had been held up by Dims.
Post of the day Eleutheria.
HaShem gave Israel all these resources, now the have the technology to get them.
I cannot wait for the new Natural Gas powered Desalinization planets to get up and running. It will be a massive finger to the eye of the Arab neighbors.
The government (the people) get royalty payments for the oil produced from government owned land, just as private land owners get royalty payments for oil produced from their land.
Then again, perhaps taking over OPEC market share is exactly what he has in mind. Perhaps driving it down to zero is exactly what he wants to do because then watch the oil producing countries howl for mercy.
I have a kind of neat story.
Granddaughter and I were in the bathroom of our marina getting ready to go to the Ronald Reagan Library. Another lady was in there, heard us and started talking to us. She was from Virginia and had been part of the group who led the fundraisers for the dedication party or something like that for the Ronald Reagan. Anyway she had some buttons and stuffed animals left that they had given to donors as gifts. Took down my address and said that as soon as she got back to Virginia she would mail some of it to the granddaughter.
About a month later I received a box in the mail with a couple of different lapel pins and a specially made Ronald Reagan Beanie Baby.
For sure.
Water, water, everywhere. But not a drop to drink.
Let them cry for OPEC.
Especially when the bulk of our energy was supplied by untrustworthy muzzies who use oil as a weapon against the West.
When will the stimulus package be unleashed? There are too many unemployed for whom this program will mean a new lease on life.
For blue AND white collar workers.
Unleashing all that oil, maybe even building some new refineries, we could possibly see gas prices drop back down to a $1.00 a gallon, maybe lower.
As much as I hate taxes, Michigan could actually double the gas tax and us residents wouldn't even notice or complain just as long as the roads got fixed.
There are online forums that are primarily populated with people such as yourself. If you want, I can give you the web address of a forum where you'll fit right in. It's full of ex-Freepers, too.
“The Reagan museum room on the carrier was pretty damned cool. I got a couple caps for my sons and I to honor the ship.”
I picked up an insulated steel travel mug emblazoned with the insignia of the USS Reagan, from the Reagan museum in 2004. It’s been my daily coffee mug ever since.
It would have to be going into the development of refineries. You know the ones that the democrats claim take so long to build every time we have an oil crisis.
This would be a great step towards energy security for our nation and in one of the leading needs we have for infrastructure. Forget the roads and bridges...democrat baloney. Coal, oil, gas, electrical grid...now that is the kind of infrastructure investment we can support.
Not tired of winning yet! :-)
The game is not so much to increase oil and gas production, but to install facilities that enable to increase a sustained rate of production i.e. gas/oil separation plants, pipelines, pumping stations and oil loading facilities. Not every barrel of oil produced needs to be placed on the world market — it is the production potential that is important to be installed. Example: if it is planned to produce 20 MMbarrels/day, install facilities that can support 30MMBBL/day at a sustained production rate.
