Youth for oil. You might as well call your group young idiots. Why continue to pollute the environment when there are cleaner for efficient ways to make energy. Why keep paying the oil companies when we could create and industry around clean energy. An industry that would create new jobs and new technology that we can EXPORT to the rest of the world at a great profit. Your parents are steering you wrong kid. Hopefully in time you will learn to think for yourself.
You rock! It really makes me smile to see kids that haven't been brainwashed into the liberal thought train and are actually standing up for valid issue that affect our National Security rather than issues that destroy out National Security!
You should start a non-profit, this way people can donate to your cause!
Keep up the great work - I'm very proud! This is a awesome experience for you and maybe we will see you, in a few years, running for a political office! Best of Luck!
Of all of those, the key ingredient is an emergency lifting of the bans and encouraging rapid increases in domestic crude oil and natural gas production. Without a significant increase in domestic production any reduction in the SPR is dangerous and should be carefully evaluated.
A sane compromise is a measured release of the SPR in return for a lifting of domestic drilling bans. The release/depletion of the SPR could occur over the period until the first oil started to flow, a couple of years. The lifting of the ban, a release of 20%-40%, along with supporting practical alternatives like increasing electric cars, liquefaction of our vast coal deposits, more coal for electricity, would collapse the price to where it was a few years ago, about $21 a barrel.
A release of 10% would reduce the SPR to around 52 days, no where near enough in a true emergency. If not combined with other measures the price of oil would rebound and we would have less reserve.
Al Gore is a lying sack of shit and a master propagandist. It was proven and reported in a 20/20 documentary (20/20 is far from conservative) that the photographs of the ice caps were exactly the computer generated ones used in the move "The Day after Tomorrow". The graphic artist who did the virtual images for the movie confirmed that Gore used the identical fake photos in his propaganda piece "An Inconvenient Truth (Lie)" They put them side by side on a split screen and they were the same!
the data is in various science magazines/articles/research even al gore has been forced to awkwlodge such findings such as the hurricane cycle not being bc of climate change again responding by gtelling everyone im accepting talking points from the pres who has believed in man-made n such is y conservatives r mad at him on this issue and on a news station shows how lil credibility u really have on this sucject sry but ur THEORY is being dismantled every day
Kids, you are seriously in some deep doo-doo. You know that the denial industry was funded by Exxon and pushed by the Bush Admin, right? This is FACT, not partisanship. FACT. Recent study: 90% of denialists? Politicized. But, you're right. Mommy and Daddy know more about the Earth's systems than, oh, say, James Hansen.
Keep up the good fight! You'll be on Rush soon. Maybe he'll share his drugs with you so your head doesn't hurt so bad when it slams into the brick wall of denial.
kkob, what are you using in place of gas, oil and electricity? What kind of house do you live in? If we cut back our use of oil drastically and become a second or third rate power do you really think it will help the rest of the world? Do you really want all the Communists, dictators, Marxists etc. to have free reign? That is what you and the leaders of the No-Oil-For-The-US environmentalists are working for? Thanks to these boys and others for trying to keep our economy and the USA strong.
kkob is a kool-aid drinker he wont look at facts and just sits there repeating over n over again: "manmade global warming is real, who cares about the gas prices" its pathethic
What are you driving these days or are you running everywhere? Are you living in a mud hut? Come down from your soapbox you self-righteous liberal. How do you explain the end of all the ice ages if man is totally responsible for the 1 degree increase in temperature? It's certainly not warming up where I live.
Even if you do believe the hype that we will run out of oil in 50 years (btw we were warned in the 60's that we would run out of oil by the year 2010.) The current ban on drilling in our own shores does not prevent the inevitable. That being that we *will* eventually run out of oil. The fact is that there is *a lot* of speculation about how much actual retrievable oil exists. In fact that is irrelevent because we need oil, plain and simple. Whether we run out in 50 years or 100 doesntmatter
Pickens plan + drill at home + build nuclear power plants + invest in solar + more = energy independence. Notice i did NOT mention E85 ethynol.(It's bullshit)
u do realize while pickens has a great plan himself hes also for drilling until we get alt. fuels right? plus id listen to kids if the countrys willing to listen to some clown whos endorsed by terrorist (kerry,obama) ;-)
thanks for clearin that up. and i agree with you. the whole system appears to be bought out, i am libertarian, they stand for low taxws and personal responsibility, but they will never get anywhere cause people thesedays think the goverment should take care of all their needs
a very sad video. shows how we are trained to just eat the shit they feed us, without questioning it. use your brains kids! mccain is corrupt, despotic, and not very smart to boot. now why on earth would anyone in their right minds want more years of that? i could see why someone who is extremely wealthy and very greedy would want mccain, but you kids don't look like either of those things.
not necessarily. just because the lightbulb goes on for many people at the same time does not make them sheep. it's when the lightbulb NEVER goes on that worries me.
Drilling for oil will do nothing if we don't have refineries. I love the direction you are taking as a young man. Just remember they taught you Vietnam was about communism, it wasn't. The Civil War was about slavery, it wasn't. 9-11 was an inside job.
I did - apparently you haven't seen too many intelligent 13 year olds in your life. Really - it isn't rocket science. The policewoman said 'for security reasons, it's been that way since 9/11" and I reiterated her statement.
We guess it's obvious that we have been targeted by a bunch of Liberals sitting in their basements (probably in their underwear) who know nothing about National Security. So far the only argument anyone has given is what is heard daily on the news - in other words - general idiocy!
It's funny how most of you have no videos of your own or pictures of yourselves on your pages - a telltale sign of left wing plants making minimum wage to pick on kids.
Damn you're good! Since I don't feel like giving you substantial arguments right now (tres tired, and others have and probably will continue to refute you) I'll concede here :) Take care.
My money went down the hole of a Democrat majority, who wish to see oil prices remain high, because they want to appease the green lobby. The Dems are a no growth, extreme left party now. Oil futures today fell another 4 dollars, the "market speculators" are predicting that the Dems will lose the oil battle, to the G.O.P Look at what Harry Reid did yesterday. And yes some of the oil will be sold on the global market The capital that will be made from it's sale, will come back to the U.S market.
Come on, you know how this works, Supple and Demand and future prospect. The Dems increased the cafe on cars killing allot of autos domestic and foreign. They speculated that ethanol among some other alternatives, can carry our economy, which it could not. It made food prices more expensive and created more inflation, on other goods and services. The effect is a ripple in the market while OPEC kills us. All the while China, India and Brazil all "emerging markets" demand more oil. {Energy!}
OPEC {the Arab oil cartel} don't determine demand, but the control the supply, of course. And if they see us leaving as customer they will have to back down. But they also know by the most optimistic outlook. That the Western world will not be fully independent of oil, for at-least another 20 years. So we must build on our technologies while also drilling for oil.... Because capital will lead to more innovation, as well as a future with new alternatives. The Democrats however miss this point.
If we truly wanted to bring the price of gas down, then we would build additional refineries. This would allow us to refine the oil into gasoline and other products much faster and more efficiently. You can bring in all the barrels of oil in the world, but without new refineries, we will still be producing the same amount of gasoline as we are now. We are consuming more than can be refined each day, therefore, the supply and demand is basically out of whack.
Well god damn! it's about time! And am glad to see that some of the young people, are getting involved with such an important subject like, energy independence. Nancy Pelosi will not let the energy bill come up for a vote, because she's against drilling for oil at home. She says she's trying to save the planet. Save our way of life Nancy! Get out of the way, of the American people!!! Vote against these people in November, including Obama, and the Democrats who are stifling our energy prospects.
"because she's against drilling for oil at home. She says she's trying to save the planet"
She never said it was about saving the planet. Democrats are against more drilling because it's not going to help anything and it wont be just OUR oil.
Ask yourself this, if it's a mater of just putting more oil on the market... then why did prices go up when Saudi Arabia started to produce more and agreed prices were being gouged?
Democrats will never drill for oil save a few who care. However, oil prices have started to drop ever since the president, and couple of other prominent figures have expressed a desire to drill. But I see that some Democrats have been saying oil prices will not go down if we drill. Meanwhile China, Russia, Brazil and even some Euro countries are drilling for oil. Finally after years of being dormant the American public is starting to feel the urge to drill. And guess what, OPEC is scared now!
"Where is my brain?... my pandering parents haven't explained to me that just because we drill the oil it wouldn't make it our oil and that it all goes on the same global market.
They wont tell me that oil independence is a myth if you are a country that imports about everything it uses."
Poor kid. He doesn't undrestand the issues. He could become more informed though by going to REPUBLICAN Senator Roscoe Bartletts home page & downloading information about peak oil. He could read up on why we cannot drill our way out & he could begin preparing for his own future, when the oil will run out, perhaps in ten years.
Hopefully America will be safe with reserves of scarce oil both offshore, in ANWR & in the strategic oil reserve. We must remain strong at the end of the age of oil.
This kid's family is a part of the republican elite. Othewise, he wouldn't be meeting all of the high-ranking dick heads he mentions.
Why is this a featured video? I imagine Youtube is either open to bribes, seeks to be 'fair and balanced' like FOX, or is a part of the spy machine set up by Bush.
How do we know that personal information isn't given to the CIA? Said something negative about Cheney? Do you feel safe? I don't.
And I fear the dumb child in the video is a new Hitler Youth.
My congratulations for getting involved in the public debate. Please learn the lesson that there are plenty of people who like to complain, as you can see by their comments. But very few have the brains and energy to act. Pay no attention to them. Keep up the active public involvement! I'm proud of you.
Get a life! The young man is learning a bit of civics. And so what if his father is helping? It's what parents do with their kids. And so what if he's reading something? The candidates do it all the time. It's called using a teleprompter.
The economy is tanked. There's nothing left. China owns America. The liberals are loony. The conservatives are crazy. Obama is really a Scientologist. McCain is really 87. Let's delete history and start over. Let's all go back to England and give back this mess to the Indians.
I have a comment .. ride your bicycle to soccer practice that will save some oil! Maybe get the rest of the U.S.A to begin production of light rail in every community. Mass transportation is what the average good citizen should and must do ! Junk your cars It's just a burdensome archaic status symbol that's going the way of the dinosaur!
Unfortunately, you boys don't know enough about this topic. Youth for Oil? More drilling? The government itself says oil from Alaska and the coasts will change price by PENNIES... in 10 to 15 years. Oil production decline rates are four times what you will ever get out of Alaska and the coasts... PER YEAR. Learn about Peak Oil, boys. Someone has brainwashed you.
This kid is worse than McCain trying to read a teleprompter. "Drill Here, Drill now." is a horrible idea that will do nothing to lower gas prices and will delay the time when we actually begin seriously investing in renewable and alternative energy sources.
Wow... So many things to say... I wish I could say that you are doing a great job for involving yourself in a cause you believe in, but unfortunately this seems like your conservative parents are forcing specific ideologies on you without you having any real idea about what goes on in the real world.
It is definitely obvious you are reading from lines that your parents are feeding you.
I just hope you will not be close minded to different ideas due to your parents influence. Good luck.
Brilliant people with no class are leaving profane comments and insults on the vid of TWO UNDERAGE KIDS.
Thank you for showing us what "intellectuals" you all are.
YouthForOil, you should BLOCK people who are cursing at you. That's my 2 cents. YT made that feature for a good reason, and I can't think of many that are better than children having a right NOT to be exposed to profanity from adults who should know better.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
God bless you young man, you represent the real future of the USA.
Not those trash alcoholics & gays who take to the street just to protest ANYTHING they do not like, and support the Zer-OO-Bamna mania, their new black messiah....
Hey you little fucking shit kids and your awful deadbeat parents how about once in your life you start thinking about humanity as one part of the fucking planet instead of not giving a shit about the entire ecosystem which is the only thing that gives you your shitty KFC meals? If we just went along and drilled Alaska we would kill millions of animals and in return for what?! A 2 year delay of the inevitable? So listen 'Jewel' little androgyny, go tell your idiot parents to stop watching FOXNews
Ok the fact that you're proud to be seen with Hannity is just sad.
How about asking the oil companies why they don't drill on the millions of acres they already have? How about asking the oil companies why they don't re-open the refineries they've shut down?
"Ok the fact that you're proud to be seen with Hannity is just sad"
--The fact that you hate Sean Hannity is sad. He promotes truth, balance, and patriotism. And you're against him.
"How about asking the oil companies why they don't drill on the millions of acres they already have? How about asking the oil companies why they don't re-open the refineries they've shut down"
--How about you ask Congress why they can't drill there and why those refineries have been shut down?
I said many times and I say again here for all you SHEEP AIR-HEAD DUMB PUNK WORKING TRASH AMERICANS..the TRUE reason OIL price is high is because of the corrupted Bush administration intentionally devalued the U.S dollar.Most of world oil selling and buying is in dollar..when the dollar value droped you need more dollars to buy the same amount of oil.The reason dollar going down,mad INFLATION is because corrupted Bush printed new money like toilet papers to finance the Iraq and Afghan wars
It's clear that there is no easy answer to this problem. Opening up ANWR to drilling would probably be the best move, as far as sending a signal to the other OPEC nations, but the right OR left won't be truthful about the environmental impact. If drilling were the answer, the oil companies would be doing it where they can now, but they're not!
The only thing I DO know is that neither side will give "We, the people..." the truth! Maybe the leaders of "the New World Order" will decide.
Let me clarify something too. I was trying to point out a hypocrisy earlier.
Personally, I think it's stupid to tap into the SPR. But if one takes MY stance, which is, "Pull in ALL of our troops from overseas, seal off our borders, stop buying every other countries goods, use our own oil, drilling wherever we need to to do that, but still work towards alternatives, etc., then you get called an Isolationist, which the right hates too! For a time, let's see how the world gets along without us!
You seem like a very intellectual person! Not using profanity, and not resorting to name-calling in any of your postings... nice to see!
Anyway, why would we restore at TODAY'S prices? And are you aware that they're only talking about using 700,000 barrels; We have about 707 million of a max. capacity of 727 million barrels on hand in the Reserve. I don't KNOW if it would have ANY impact, but one can't hype the benefits of "perceptions", and ignore this issue!
With regard to 'perceptions' in the FUTURE Supply...
That is what is governing the Oil Trading Market, and today's prices.
Selling off a portion of the SOR would have the reverse effect on the Market Price, since it is common knowledge that whatever is taken out, would have to be replaced at some point.
So it would actually do more harm than good to deplete any portion of the SOR.
The status quo of America's dependence on dangerously undemocratic Islamic theocracies for much of its oil needs has to change.
The cruel destruction of Americans hard won retirement wealth has just begun and inflation resistant hybrid electric autos,renewable energy like solar may not make the current establishment rich but soon these businesses through economies of scale can offer to help stabilize peoples finances and offer the choice of personal energy independence.
There are 26 Gigawatts of photovoltaics coming to market in 2009 with production growth expected to be 30% plus annually. Solar par with the cost of coal will be reality very soon and with electrolyzer produced hydrogen gas cheaper than $3 petroleum to run internal combustion engines or fuel cell cars like Honda's production FX and lithium ion batteries nearing acceptable performance levels.This 500 word limit Sucks
It's interesting that people would bring up the "perception" concept, yet, when it's suggested that we use a portion of the Strategic Oil Reserve to influence PERCEPTIONS, that idea is shot down by those same people.
As for that reserve only being used for "emergencies", that's NOT the criteria, but that's good propaganda for the right to throw around! It can be used during times of war for whatever purpose is in the best interests of the country, I believe! And this is one of those times!

"Wheres my plug in hybrid electric automobile I can charge with my photovoltaic system?"
I think you would make a lot more friends.
But hey knock yourself out for big oil and maybe they'll give you some gas coupons when oil is $275 BBL. Demand will always outstrip supply as long as gaining the political system is as easy paying a few charismatic politicians way into office.
The PATHETIC Bush/mccain gang try to use this little clueless puppet 5yrs old looking kid for their propaganda to trick and distract the clueless sheep americans from the TRUE cause of their INFLATION suffering and the near collapse of the deepshiet U.S economy ....haahahahaaa...how pathetic...

drill for oil,drill anyone in the head that tries to stop us,as they are the traitors in our midst!keep up the good work!dont let the Benedict Arnolds get to you.
Too bad these teens did not do their research before becoming Youth for Oil! There is not enough oil to 'save' us! No amount of Oil drilling in Alaska or offshore! And if and when oil does get drilled will go overseas to get the best price!
Christ - this is silly - already we have the technology to rid ourselves of this massive independence. You tube Aptera for Christ sake! This is so funny that some kid simply thinks that drilling our oil here will solve everything without repercussions?!?! HAHAHAHA
Oh well it will take a few years before we can tap into anything useful at which time McSame will be dead or suffer from more dementia (not joking, the dude has dementia already)

Fooling yourself isn't helping anyone and nobody blames these kids. I blame the people that started this ridiculous "drill now" myth and keep repeating "foreign oil" suggesting we somehow will pump our own.
#1,We cannot produce HALF of what we use.
#2,The US does NOT need more terror targets.
#3,Drills we have NOW peak at 6 months then drop to ZIP.
#4,It has NOTHING to do w/ congress or "tree huggers".

what do trees need to produce oxygen? yep that right carbon dioxcide.with out it trees and plant would die!! less carbon, less trees, less oxygen. so all u tree huggers should be hugging some carbon too,and my"gas guzzling oil sipping freewill and love for freedom,socialist free suv!!!
Wow, "what do trees need to produce oxygen? yep that right carbon dioxcide.with out it trees and plant would die!! less carbon, less trees, less oxygen. so all u tree huggers should be hugging some carbon too,and my"gas guzzling oil sipping freewill and love for freedom,socialist free suv!!!"-this has to be the most idiotic statement I have ever seen on youtube.
The air in LA is cleaner than it was 20 years ago. What is wrong with America being energy independant? You can't accomplish that on unproven alternatives, in the meantime we are going to need oil until someone invents a car that runs off diet coke...
the air cleaner in LA than it was 20 years ago? what a joke. My family just moved to Northern Louisiana where we do alot drilling for oil. Do you know how many years it would take to get enough oil pumping to supply US? HA try about 10 or even 20. besides oil comapanies are going to give the oil to the highest bidder. probably most would go to Europe since the Euro is dominant over the dollar now. We dont have input on shit when it comes to oil, its all about money. dont listen to lying McCain
You are crazy and obviously don't know shit about how long it takes to drill a well? If we started 10 years ago we wouldn't be in this situation now! What the hell is the price going to be 10 years from now if we sit on our thumbs now? The oil is going on the worlds market, adding more oil to the worlds market increases supply and prices will drop. Why doesn't Europe buy all the oil up now then? You can always put a moratorium on giving the US the first option on buying the oil.
i dont know shit about oil? haha about 5 of my relatives have wells on their land and have deals with oil companies. The sheer mass scale of land wells and off-shore drilling rigs cant be done overnight jackass. it would take billions of dollars that we dont have to do that. the sad truth is that you will never see oil drop below an average of 4 dollars a gallon again. the only reason McCain says drilling at home is the solution is because dumbasses like you will believe him.
Billions of dollars that we don't have? What do you want to nationalize the oil companies now? Guess who pays for that? Oil companies do, thats what they do, that is their business, that is how they make a living. But you've got 5 relatives that have wells on their land but forgot to teach you anything about business and the laws of supply and demand...
Supply and Demand doesn't even come into the picture. First, oil companies have refused to build more refineries, second, there isn't any shortage of oil, just the refusal of oil companies to put more oil out onto the market. Third, demand for oil is pretty inelastic, as people will not be able to quickly adjust their consumption rates to higher prices. Fourth, even if we were to start drilling today, it would take years for the oil there to actually reach the GLOBAL market.
Since the late 1970s, air quality in Los Angeles has been improving steadily," says Sam Atwood, a spokesman for California's South Coast Air Quality Management District, "and 1999 was really a watermark year." Although smog levels exceeded the health standard 42 days (which is not something many would boast about), for the first year since before World War II, LA did not have pollution greater than 0.20 ppm, the point at which the government starts issuing warnings.
alright this is my last comment i'm not going to argue anymore on how we don't need more oil to solve our problems. drill the fuck out of this bitch. seriously every drop. and then when its all gone we'll figure something out. ok?
God... Is youtube bought off by the Republican Party or what? This is like the tenth video I've seen being featured in the last two months where there is some yokel talking about lifting the ban on offshore oil. I can just picture McCain behind the camera waving a lolly pop at those poor boys.
So this is how the Plutocrats stay in power. By brainwashing the next generation of voters that defending Big Oil is patriotic and supporting conservation and alternative energy is unamerican.
Genius!
Remember to tell your mom and dad to claim the t shirts as
campaign contributions to the grand alzheimers party and put the money big oil is paying them for this away for your collage fund if you make it back from Iraq once the draft is reinstated.
I applaud your genuine interest in politics, but the solution is not more drilling. Oil is finite, and we need fuel sources that will last us far beyond our dwindling supplies.
Solar energy, wind power, wave power, hydrothermal. We have many choices.
We have more untapped oil in the U.S. than is in the Mid East, yet it is illegal to go after it. By using both oil and alternative energies America could/should be energy independant...
Yes, I agree with you that America should be energy independent. On this we have common ground, but more drilling is not the solution to our problems.
Face it, we are running out of oil, and if we don't change course in the next 20 years, we will have a global energy crisis on our hands.
I forget who this thought came from, but it is relevant. Oil is an addiction our country has. Like any addict, we will inevitably run out of our "drug" and be left with withdrawal sickness(economic and energy crises).
Your view is simplistic at best, and fails to address the fact that oil companies have refused to increase production or the building of new refineries.
Refuse? Are you out of your mind? Oil companies gave up trying to get new refineries built because every location they choose offends someone. They were forced to spend tens of millions of dollars fighting every environmental and local interest group, when that money could have gone into refinery development.
They've nearly doubled refining capacity by expanding existing sites, so quit pretending it's an issue. Look up refinery utilization rates: there's room for millions of barrels more to be refined. The problem is we are running out of sweet crude (Peak Oil) and need more heavy sour refining capacity. Those are being built. Get educated.
Try reading what I put out there. I stated that oil companies are fought at every turn to build a new refinery, nothing about increasing existing refineries capacity. S. Dakota is in the legislative process of getting a refinery built it will be the first refinery built in 29 years. Get educated...
Reason why oil prices dropped is because people are using it less. People are not going out as much. There is also a significant decrease in accidents per month because people are only going where they are needed.
It's sad to see children brainwashed at such an early age. I think there parents should have played devil's advocate more in their discussion. Education must be reformed . . .
yeah I agree completely. I don't care if kids have strong opinions (though they should be taught to stay open minded) but this is clearly an example of where parents make their kids have opinions. Clearly these kids are thinking in a one dimensional way... high oil prices... lets drill! It's a bit more complicated than that kiddos.
There are too many liberal idiots in the schools that preech mindless dribble to their classes. It's a shame and I'm sick of you morons.
You liberals are so caught up in your own agendas that you fail to see what's best for the country and its people. It's time to stop caring about the stupid polar bear and the non-existant global warming that has gas over $4 a gallon.
God Bless America and God save it from the liberals!
Great work! If we had started to drill like the Republican's wanted to 4 years we would be basking in the abundance now.

Youth for oil. You might as well call your group young idiots. Why continue to pollute the environment when there are cleaner for efficient ways to make energy. Why keep paying the oil companies when we could create and industry around clean energy. An industry that would create new jobs and new technology that we can EXPORT to the rest of the world at a great profit. Your parents are steering you wrong kid. Hopefully in time you will learn to think for yourself.

You rock! It really makes me smile to see kids that haven't been brainwashed into the liberal thought train and are actually standing up for valid issue that affect our National Security rather than issues that destroy out National Security!
You should start a non-profit, this way people can donate to your cause!
Keep up the great work - I'm very proud! This is a awesome experience for you and maybe we will see you, in a few years, running for a political office! Best of Luck!

Of all of those, the key ingredient is an emergency lifting of the bans and encouraging rapid increases in domestic crude oil and natural gas production. Without a significant increase in domestic production any reduction in the SPR is dangerous and should be carefully evaluated.

A sane compromise is a measured release of the SPR in return for a lifting of domestic drilling bans. The release/depletion of the SPR could occur over the period until the first oil started to flow, a couple of years. The lifting of the ban, a release of 20%-40%, along with supporting practical alternatives like increasing electric cars, liquefaction of our vast coal deposits, more coal for electricity, would collapse the price to where it was a few years ago, about $21 a barrel.
danvers21 3 years ago
A release of 10% would reduce the SPR to around 52 days, no where near enough in a true emergency. If not combined with other measures the price of oil would rebound and we would have less reserve.

Al Gore is a lying sack of shit and a master propagandist. It was proven and reported in a 20/20 documentary (20/20 is far from conservative) that the photographs of the ice caps were exactly the computer generated ones used in the move "The Day after Tomorrow". The graphic artist who did the virtual images for the movie confirmed that Gore used the identical fake photos in his propaganda piece "An Inconvenient Truth (Lie)" They put them side by side on a split screen and they were the same!

Kids, you are seriously in some deep doo-doo. You know that the denial industry was funded by Exxon and pushed by the Bush Admin, right? This is FACT, not partisanship. FACT. Recent study: 90% of denialists? Politicized. But, you're right. Mommy and Daddy know more about the Earth's systems than, oh, say, James Hansen.
Keep up the good fight! You'll be on Rush soon. Maybe he'll share his drugs with you so your head doesn't hurt so bad when it slams into the brick wall of denial.

kkob, what are you using in place of gas, oil and electricity? What kind of house do you live in? If we cut back our use of oil drastically and become a second or third rate power do you really think it will help the rest of the world? Do you really want all the Communists, dictators, Marxists etc. to have free reign? That is what you and the leaders of the No-Oil-For-The-US environmentalists are working for? Thanks to these boys and others for trying to keep our economy and the USA strong.

Even if you do believe the hype that we will run out of oil in 50 years (btw we were warned in the 60's that we would run out of oil by the year 2010.) The current ban on drilling in our own shores does not prevent the inevitable. That being that we *will* eventually run out of oil. The fact is that there is *a lot* of speculation about how much actual retrievable oil exists. In fact that is irrelevent because we need oil, plain and simple. Whether we run out in 50 years or 100 doesntmatter

OPEC {the Arab oil cartel} don't determine demand, but the control the supply, of course. And if they see us leaving as customer they will have to back down. But they also know by the most optimistic outlook. That the Western world will not be fully independent of oil, for at-least another 20 years. So we must build on our technologies while also drilling for oil.... Because capital will lead to more innovation, as well as a future with new alternatives. The Democrats however miss this point.

If we truly wanted to bring the price of gas down, then we would build additional refineries. This would allow us to refine the oil into gasoline and other products much faster and more efficiently. You can bring in all the barrels of oil in the world, but without new refineries, we will still be producing the same amount of gasoline as we are now. We are consuming more than can be refined each day, therefore, the supply and demand is basically out of whack.

Democrats will never drill for oil save a few who care. However, oil prices have started to drop ever since the president, and couple of other prominent figures have expressed a desire to drill. But I see that some Democrats have been saying oil prices will not go down if we drill. Meanwhile China, Russia, Brazil and even some Euro countries are drilling for oil. Finally after years of being dormant the American public is starting to feel the urge to drill. And guess what, OPEC is scared now!

The price of Oil today is inflated because of Oil Futures Trading.
Futures Traders have forwarded the idea, that there will be shortages three years out.
New Drilling activity would have an immediate effect on the price of Oil, because it would affect the perception of the future supply.
For example:
When President Bush lifted the moratorium on offshore drilling, the price/barrel dropped $20/barrel within a few days.
And it will not take 'years' to bring oil to market, more like months.

I said many times and I say again here for all you SHEEP AIR-HEAD DUMB PUNK WORKING TRASH AMERICANS..the TRUE reason OIL price is high is because of the corrupted Bush administration intentionally devalued the U.S dollar.Most of world oil selling and buying is in dollar..when the dollar value droped you need more dollars to buy the same amount of oil.The reason dollar going down,mad INFLATION is because corrupted Bush printed new money like toilet papers to finance the Iraq and Afghan wars.

#1,We cannot produce HALF of what we use.
#2,The US does NOT need more terror targets.
#3,Drills we have NOW peak at 6 months then drop to ZIP.
#4,It has NOTHING to do w/ congress or "tree huggers".
It's simply a political myth.

The kid is either naive or his dad is somehow involved in the oil industry & feeding him crap.
His vid has a heading indicating Congress should drill for oil.
CONGRESS CAN'T DRILL FOR OIL!
Now if we were in many So Amer Countries or ME countries the govt could drill for more oil
All we can do is turn over acreage to an outfit like Exxon & they will sell to the highest bidder.
They are bigger than some nations & have no loyalty to the USA anymore!

the air cleaner in LA than it was 20 years ago? what a joke. My family just moved to Northern Louisiana where we do alot drilling for oil. Do you know how many years it would take to get enough oil pumping to supply US? HA try about 10 or even 20. besides oil comapanies are going to give the oil to the highest bidder. probably most would go to Europe since the Euro is dominant over the dollar now. We dont have input on shit when it comes to oil, its all about money. dont listen to lying McCain
JCrocket4029 3 years ago 2
You are crazy and obviously don't know shit about how long it takes to drill a well? If we started 10 years ago we wouldn't be in this situation now! What the hell is the price going to be 10 years from now if we sit on our thumbs now? The oil is going on the worlds market, adding more oil to the worlds market increases supply and prices will drop. Why doesn't Europe buy all the oil up now then? You can always put a moratorium on giving the US the first option on buying the oil.
jarvis1211 3 years ago
i dont know shit about oil? haha about 5 of my relatives have wells on their land and have deals with oil companies. The sheer mass scale of land wells and off-shore drilling rigs cant be done overnight jackass. it would take billions of dollars that we dont have to do that. the sad truth is that you will never see oil drop below an average of 4 dollars a gallon again. the only reason McCain says drilling at home is the solution is because dumbasses like you will believe him.
JCrocket4029 3 years ago
Billions of dollars that we don't have? What do you want to nationalize the oil companies now? Guess who pays for that? Oil companies do, thats what they do, that is their business, that is how they make a living. But you've got 5 relatives that have wells on their land but forgot to teach you anything about business and the laws of supply and demand...
jarvis1211 3 years ago
Supply and Demand doesn't even come into the picture. First, oil companies have refused to build more refineries, second, there isn't any shortage of oil, just the refusal of oil companies to put more oil out onto the market. Third, demand for oil is pretty inelastic, as people will not be able to quickly adjust their consumption rates to higher prices. Fourth, even if we were to start drilling today, it would take years for the oil there to actually reach the GLOBAL market.
Wise111111 3 years ago
@ Wise1111 ~
Oil companies are not refusing to build refineries.
Where did you get that?
It is the governmental regulations that have hindered new refinery construction, and NIMBY movements.
Refineries are stinky, and no one wants them built nearby.
But there are 100's of superfund sites which are already poluted where they could be built, were it not for regulations keeping it from happening.

Since the late 1970s, air quality in Los Angeles has been improving steadily," says Sam Atwood, a spokesman for California's South Coast Air Quality Management District, "and 1999 was really a watermark year." Although smog levels exceeded the health standard 42 days (which is not something many would boast about), for the first year since before World War II, LA did not have pollution greater than 0.20 ppm, the point at which the government starts issuing warnings.

I applaud your genuine interest in politics, but the solution is not more drilling. Oil is finite, and we need fuel sources that will last us far beyond our dwindling supplies.
Solar energy, wind power, wave power, hydrothermal. We have many choices.

We have more untapped oil in the U.S. than is in the Mid East, yet it is illegal to go after it. By using both oil and alternative energies America could/should be energy independant...
jarvis1211 3 years ago
Yes, I agree with you that America should be energy independent. On this we have common ground, but more drilling is not the solution to our problems.
Face it, we are running out of oil, and if we don't change course in the next 20 years, we will have a global energy crisis on our hands.

Your view is simplistic at best, and fails to address the fact that oil companies have refused to increase production or the building of new refineries.
Wise111111 3 years ago
Refuse? Are you out of your mind? Oil companies gave up trying to get new refineries built because every location they choose offends someone. They were forced to spend tens of millions of dollars fighting every environmental and local interest group, when that money could have gone into refinery development.
jarvis1211 3 years ago
They've nearly doubled refining capacity by expanding existing sites, so quit pretending it's an issue. Look up refinery utilization rates: there's room for millions of barrels more to be refined. The problem is we are running out of sweet crude (Peak Oil) and need more heavy sour refining capacity. Those are being built. Get educated.
kkob 3 years ago
Try reading what I put out there. I stated that oil companies are fought at every turn to build a new refinery, nothing about increasing existing refineries capacity. S. Dakota is in the legislative process of getting a refinery built it will be the first refinery built in 29 years. Get educated...
jarvis1211 3 years ago
Reason why oil prices dropped is because people are using it less. People are not going out as much. There is also a significant decrease in accidents per month because people are only going where they are needed.
