Now what the fuck is wrong with this picture? We import about 40% of the oil we use so why the fuck are we now going to export it? And get this, we are going to export to Mexico and Venezuela......two countries we import from! I thought the idea was to become independent from oil importing and develop our own. None of this makes any sense!

Doesn't most of our oil come from Canada? -
There is this wonderful agency called the World Trade Organization (WTO). They are the clowns that deride the economic integrity of the USA by entering into forced trades for goods we could produce at lower prices domestically and decrease national unemployment. In return, they get kickbacks and a boost in their stock holdings. Sheisters at every branch of the WTO.

Yeah really! Only a few years ago they told us we could run out of oil anytime, NOW we have too much! These bastards are simply incapable of telling the truth."L E X - T A L I O N I S"Comment

So what? Nothing you can do about it. We're just along for the ride at this point. Just make sure you are ready to deal with the reaction from their actions.
Somebody has to.Comment

I know one thing for certain. Our oil surplus is in spite of Obama. He has done everything possible for us to not have ANY!Comment

Gas prices need to go up to make alternate sources of energy to become economically viable.
Also, oil production isnt a state owned commodity like it is in china. All they did was say if you produce oil in the US, you're allowed to sell it abroad. It's actually deregulation, and a nod for capitalism. But you know, fuck Obama.-AdminComment

Seems kinda dumb that the oil companies don't send the oil they produce to their own refineries. Instead it goes on the free market and then they buy off the free market and send that oil to the refineries. That's why domestic production goes down because they cant make money from domestic production. Sure it's good for gas prices but it sucks for domestic employment!Screw diplomacy...........bring it!Comment

There is or gas prices would be high 'no'. Fracking has produced alot of oil.Originally posted by rokitman View Post
As far as production goes our lack of new refineries is our Achilles Heel. Plus no new Nuke Plants cause us to burn more natural gas and coal. Obama is trying to shutdown coal plants.
Anywho, my two cents.Comment

Other way around . . . flood the market with cheap oil so the oil lobbyists can bankrupt/drive out of business the alternate sources of energy -- wind energy is their particular target.Originally posted by Name View PostTuesday is soylent green dayComment

^^^Night Right
I was reading about the hugh solar panels in the Mojavi. To get this going the Libtards running the show were complete hyprocrites to the very reason they wanted dolar power.
First off they took up a shitload of the "precious" desert area. Paid millions to relocate the desert tortoise.
They fry hundreds of birds flying over the solar panels. They can't start generating electricty until they burn a shitload of natural gas to get it started.
And of course when cloudy or night they have to burn a shitload more NG. Liberal Logic at it's best!Comment

Right now domestic production is down because they cant produce for the price of what can be bought on the market. Again, if we had a surplus we wouldn't be importing! You are right about the refining. Obama has made sure through the EPA we cant build more.Originally posted by bowclan View PostScrew diplomacy...........bring it!Comment

The solar plant you are talking about is a major fucking eyesore too not to mention if you drive by it at certain times of the day the reflection off the receiver towers is blinding!Originally posted by bowclan View PostScrew diplomacy...........bring it!Comment

Rokit I think we are saying same thing but different. We have a surplus of oil in the supply line. Refineries are running at max.
Because, or fracking and drilling on private land our production went up
BP, I believe said we are the biggest producers of our own oil. Looking at Country by Country.
OPEC isn't slowing production so there is an overall surplus. Oil companies here slowed production because of the lower price of crude.
However, within our borders there is PLENTY of oil still in the ground. And if the Keystone pipeline would get done we could shitcan the Arab etc etc oil.
And speaking of eyesore those wind farms are a big one. First one I seen was over the hills from San Fran when I drove there from San Diego via a family visit in Bakersfield
There is a bunch along I-40 in Oklahoma I'm sure because of Pickett or what ever that rich Okie's name isComment
