Drill Baby Drill ?

or should I say Fracking baby Fracking, may not be the answer to our problems.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton's third law seems to be in full-force.

fracking

well maybe not ! but unless we import more in got to do something. because rite now the arabs are keeping the price down just to try and put the US out of the drilling game. hope it don't work! transportation is here to stay until hell freezes over! got to have. it be by air or by rail or water by land from west coast to east coast from the gulf to Alaska! got to have some kind of fuel. until some gensis comes up with a better means of fuel for transportation we got to try and get it some way. is fracking good way! prob- not. heat for homes! factories! farmers. on! on! solor power and a few other things is great! hundreds of years to get there. jmo

If we don't, China, India and J-pan will leave us in the dust. JMO

agree

YES! YES! YES! total agree!

As your president I will persue the Solar power and skip one day of bombing in a country that we shouldn,t be bombing and spend the 1 billion $$ on buying some fracking equipment. Even time O Pec starts to raise the price of oil I will put to work people who are on state aid and drive the oil price back down. Could this Work??

Ya gotta get them free loaders to work 1st Mark .... then it'll work

(Read above links)

It costs less than $10 per barrel to get oil out of the ground in most Middle Eastern countries, whereas production costs hover around $65 per barrel for U.S. fracked wells.

http://reason.com/archives/2014/12/...n-oil-prices-go

The Middle East can cut their price to $20 per barrel and still make money.

WE MUST INVEST IN SOLAR AND WIND TECHNOLOGY and tell the rag heads to start developing a taste for oil .

I don't know true facts but I heard the solar panels lose their ability to produce very quickly. A friend investigated them a few years back and found that they would not pay back the investment.

Anyone know the true facts?

T Boone Pickens the billionaire who was going to make a fortune on wind power, he lost about 2 billion of his own money before he found out it wouldn't work good enough to even get his original investment back because they wouldn't produce enough electricity.

Of course he's taking credit for something he tried his best to prevent. He'll be taking credit for the sun's rising next.

LMAO, LMAO, LMAO, some of you are just tooooo funny.

I know many of you won't believe it but YES OBAMA is partly responsible for the lowering of gas prices.

It's called Economic Warfare with Russia, (remember the issue with Ukraine) lowering oil prices places Russia in a tuff spot. Oil is Russia number one export, cheap oil is part of the sanctions. It proves the futures market can be manipulated.

http://www.theguardian.com/business...rouble-currency

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-...-opponents.html

http://www.globalresearch.ca/china-...-russia/5421344

These are the tactics Ronny Reagan used in the Eighties (by the way against the Russians) , and Lil Bush used in 2008 (again the Russians), both got credit for being GREAT, BUT Obama not so much.(wonder why)?

There I go again using facts and news reports to, well read them for yourself.

Another issue where Obama is just smarter than the GOP, our crazy Governor REAL DEAL is asking to increase the gas tax. While prices are down, questions for Nathan????? Does he believe they will always be at the current rates?

http://www.cbs46.com/story/27358453...-higher-gas-tax

And NO Obama isn't my hero but I must give credit where credit is due.

Just think what would happen if obummer and his cronies would allow drilling on federal lands. He is more worried about free college and internet speeds. Only thing I give obummer and congress credit for is hindering progress that could have been made with real leadership.

Sir, bless your heart and I mean no disrespect but that's HOGWASH. (Kind-of-like hunting a Redbone)

You can have your own opinion but not your own facts. Please read up and start with James Norman book, The Oil Card.

Brian Domitrovic contributor for Forbes wrote:

The trick now, as before, would be to have fiscal policy let the real economy run by means of commitments to get taxes—and regulations—scaled back, while in concert the Fed could concentrate not on hammering unemployment down but making sure people trust the dollar.
In other words, “drill, baby, drill,” isn’t even the answer. Our crisis now, as it was in the 1970s, is not an energy crisis, but a dollar-hedge crisis. You attack that—and most successfully—by making it a profitable and sound thing to save and invest dollars in the real economy.
Expensive energy is the product a leading nation with intrusive and overburdened tax, regulatory, and currency policies. Cheap energy is the mark of a leading nation with its fiscal and monetary priorities straight.

So, let me understand your FACTs, Oil companies are producing more oil so they can lose money? Hahahaha

Late Monday morning, both benchmarks hit new six-year lows. WTI oil prices dipped as much as 5.1% to $45.90 a barrel. Brent oil prices were even more volatile, dropping 5.9% to $47.18 a barrel.

The long-suffering energy sector caused widespread losses in U.S. markets.

Alistair Winter, chief economist at the global investment bank, Daniel Stewart & Co, said: “I can see it [Brent Crude] go below $40, perhaps down to as little as $20. Marginal fields, often run by smaller companies, need around $60 a barrel for viability. But markets will already be “shorting” petroleum prices [betting on prices falling further to make profit] - and that points to bad news ahead.

Article from October:

The Permian, where U.S. drilling activity is heaviest, will be profitable for companies to drill at U.S. oil prices of $57 to $75 a barrel, depending on location, according to research from Robert W. Baird & Co. As a result, companies active there, such as Chevron Corp. , Apache Corp. and Pioneer Natural Resources Co. , are likely to keep drilling.

Marianne Kah, chief economist of ConocoPhillips, said oil prices would need to fall to $50 a barrel “if you wanted to completely halt production” of U.S. shale oil. (Nov. 5, 2014)

I will give you one guess where oil is today.

As for "NO FRACKING" Read this:

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Im saving enough on gas. I may buy me a new utv with all those savings. Now thats helping the economy.
