Once again we have the American citizenry being played like FOOLS because the science and economics education in our country simply isn’t strong enough. I don’t blame anyone for not truly understand this issue because there has been a concerted effort to hide facts from the people.

We can NEVER win the oil game on the supply side. Ever. Even if North America banded together and horizontally drilled every hydrocarbon field from north to south. All in we got about 7% of the world’s supply.

Our leverage is on the DEMAND side. We are the world’s largest consumers of hydrocarbons. If you want to drive down the price of oil and find any little “independence” you would go with the T. Boone Pickens plans. Go all in on wind, natural gas, and solar. You’ll never do away with oil consumption but try your best to minimize it. Don’t fiddle with personal vehicles but increase fuel efficiency standards by 30-40%. Switch all public transportation and as many semis as possible to CNG asap.

A simple stimulus to trained skilled workers in retrofitted buildings to run on natural gas and solar kills multiple birds with on stone. You put people to work. You stimulate gas markets by driving up demand. You decrease emissions. You use homegrown energy.

Here’s the big fat LIE. The LIE is that we open drilling on public lands and that crude is going to stay home. Let’s think for two seconds. Why would I keep it in the US when its going for $100-115 on the world market? It’s silly to think increased drilling would translate into cheaper energy prices at home UNLESS we wanted to socialize energy markets. But in the end that would screw us because our supplies simply aren’t great enough!!

There’s a clear cut, win-win solution to all this but you aren’t going to here it because a handful of billionaires are benefiting from the status quo.

Seek out the facts. They are there.

Pumping water into wells to recover more oil is old tools.

The current boom is not pumping water into well, its new wells such as in N Dakota.

I cant believe the stupidity Im reading here

Your wrong about the electric car

Your wrong abouit wind power, its free and your scared of it because it doesnt feed millionaires. Are you a tool? We have been doing stuff the last 3 years. Did you just move back here from Iran?

In short, give up the old old propaganda

You are wrong about the drilling. You are wrong on everything you saod
