Time to drill for American made fuel that cannot be affected by an attack in the middle east. Yes, I want hydrogen as well as other sources, but we also can't totally get away from oil and cars today are cleaner, safer and more efficient compared to the old bombers of the disco 70s.
Dude, you are so uninformed. Drilling in ANWR will do nothing but increase oil company profits. Where do you get the notion that it's "our" oil? Do you really think oil companies will sell "our" oil to us at a lower price than "imported" oil? Why would they? How do I know which gas stations are selling gas imported from "my" oil and not gas from imported oil? Ha!
... and this guy is calling other people 'wackos'? LOL. What's with the hat?
Wars for oil has already started.Russia has attacked Georgia for oil.They want their pipline to Turkey and bombed the BP oil pumps.
We need to be drilling everyhere immediately!
Anwar,east&west coast and the Rocky's in oil shale we have 3 times the oil reserve there than in all of Saudia Arabia right now.Why do Liberal's not have any COMMON SENSE!Pelosi & Boxer want to deplete our strategic oil reserves.We better hurry & Drain the last drop right before Israel attacks Iran!!Idiots!!!!!!!!!
China & Cuba are drill off the East Florida Coast in International Water's but,can't! They could end up with billion's of barrel's of our oil that stretches back into our water's!We better go ahead and get any oil that is on our side offshore on the east and west coast!When Israel attacks Iran soon gas will be $8 OR $9 A GALLON !Wewill be lucky to get much if any oil from the Middle East when it breaks loose in the Middle East.Israel will attack while Bush is in office because they trust him !
As a sidenote, I really am getting sick of seeing all these previews for stupid Pixar movies where all the characters are animals. I'm all for animal welfare and not being cruel to animals, but by god, have some humans in your movies! Do kids really eat this stuff up? I'm so glad I was born in 1987 and got exposed to regular Disney cartoons as a child and not this Pixar nonsense. CGI animation just doesn't work with kids' movies. It's ugly, if you ask me.
Screw these tree hugger's !Anwr would already be in full force if it wasn't blocked for over a decade.Oil drilling is a lot more enviromental friendly these day's !!Mccain finally got behind offshore drilling. But, needs to get behind Anwr and oil shale in the Rocky Mountain's NOW ! There is 3-times as much oil in the Rocky's than in all of Saudi Arabia!Oil went up over $4 a barrel when the news came out of Israel.Olmert resigned and the Minister Of Defense had some comment's on Iran.
On things like foreign policy, I take an America First paleoconservative position. I'm not a neocon or nation-builder. And I'm Humans First on environmental issues. If something helps us but affects a few whales or fish or whatever that we don't own or have as pets, I could care less. Why do fringe left groups like PETA care so much about animals they don't own, know, or will probably never see that much in their lifetimes? It's madness! They care more about them than people.
I never really cared for the environmental tree-huggers or the animal rights folks. They're at the fringes of the Left. Drill all we have to in order to lower prices, I say.
Environmentalism is only appropriate when it goes after lax standards on polluted air and water, for example. You know, stuff that actually affects our health and safety. Like McCain said, even if GW isn't real, we should still adopt moderate standards to protect ourselves in the future, and air will be cleaner.
I am very liberal on social issues and some economics, but I am all for drilling at home. We have to get off our dependence on foreign oil. And it is interesting to note that, for all the bitching about energy independence from the Middle East, we really get a lot more of our foreign oil from Latin America than anywhere else. Why aren't we railing against Chavez, too, for all the oil we buy from him?
Fuck the whales and all the other animals that may be affected in ANWR. Big deal.
Alternative energy development and transitioning that on a large scale to power our cars will take several years! We need to do something in-between that time to keep going, like drilling.
2,000 acres. All we will do is put a few oil towers in 2,000 acres out of 17 million. We will then be able to reach 8 million acres underground. Results: oil prices down, and even if that doesn't work, until we go to more cleaner forms of energy like T. Boone Pickens wants, why should we give hundreds of billions of dollars away to foriegn nations every year???? Espically the ones whos citizens want us dead. Wake up America, post this comment on every ANWR video to make the truth be told.
filmcruiser88: I have not heard about that (using old grease from cooking as a source of gasoline). But yes China and India are useing millions more of barrels oil a day. We do need to drill for our own oil and we can do it safely. American jobs, American oil.
yep, it's all about the special interest groups for the liberals in the congress and senate. The "man made global warming" hoax is a joke. Believed by the naive and ignorant liberals. Nancy Pelosi said she SAW global warming when in flight over Europe. If that is not crazy, I don't know what is! And, this is out speaker of the house! Laughable. Start drilling, NOW!
Earth is not the only planet experiencing climate change: scientists believe that Mars and Jupiter are as well. And there's no SUV driving humans on either of these planets!
YTCommunityWatch2: Who said we should not look for alternative fuels and find ways to do energy conservation? We need to drill and look for alternative fuels and find ways to do energy conservation. Seems the car companies have a shot at making some money by making cars that get more miles pure gallon. Jobs for Michigan. Sounds good to me.
Thanks for the video I'm with you on domestic oil production, we should be drilling through the skulls of baby caribou as far as I'm concerned and we should have been doing this 10 years ago but you're absolutely right about who's stopping us. The radicals in the environmentalist movement have an agenda and it's not in the best interest of freedom loving peoples.
YTCommunityWatch2: "So why should we care where they drill?" Well, maybe because they are drilling off our coast and yet we cant drill off our coast. They (China) is doing the right thing for their country. Even though they are only saving 2-3 cents a gallon. At least that is what Obama says we would just save. China spent all that money to drill for what? They are losing money. Saudi Arabia needs to cut back on production. It wont raise the price according to the educated Obama. LMAO
Did you ever stop to think that corrupt government officials screwed up the American economy on purpose and caused inflation of the dollar (also on purpose) as a way to get people to vote for stuff like anwr drilling? the anwr issue is the last thing we need to worry about right now. Research Ron Paul man. Best of luck to you. And even though I think you're mislead, I still commend you for at least caring enough to take action for what you feel is right... unlike most Americans.
YTCommunityWatch2 LMAO! That is silly! Its so far from the truth. Tell China stop drilling. They are only saving 2-3 cents a gallon. Less oil means same price. lol
The "liberals" counter claim is that the oil companies arnt even drilling in the lands they have permits to drill in.(weak point but i can see how it has some substance)
The extreme "liberals" want to socialize oil drilling in this country. Scary thought but kind of kills your claim of them more friendly then Bush. I dont see how the government being in control helps the Saudis or big oil companies.
Its not a problem of finding oil, we do not have the oil refineries to keep up.
Id say you are right on point. But what I dont get is why we are loosing the battle of friggin common sence. I know almost nothing about trade and economics but hell supply vs demand (and the threat of more supply) is a no brainer. I hope McCain has "strong enough knees" to do the right thing. I fear the Dems. are willing to throw the whole economy down the drain to show us "the failed past"just to get the sock puppet in charge.
There is an estimated (on the high end) ~30 Billion barrel of oil in ANWR. 11 Billion barrels of the coast of California. 40 Billion barrel of oil. USA consumes 8 Billion barrels /yr that's only 5 more years of oil.
CleanGreen13: LMAO! I know you are not in the oil business. We cant pump 40 billion barrels of oil in 5 years. We are looking to get just 1 and a half million barrels of oil from Anwr a day. It has enough oil for at least 30 years at that rate. You also dont talk about tens of thousands of American jobs it will create and more tax money coming into the goverment so we can invest in other sourses of energy. Plus you dont mention the Florida coast or inland ND & Co.
Actually I work for a Geotechnical company I never said the anything about rate just quality. 1.5 Million barrels a day that less 7% of what USA currently uses. Oil is world world wide commidity. China and India are comsuming exponentally increasing amount oil. It is estimated that 20 years India 600million person middle class. 1.5 M Barrels/day is a drop in the bucket.
CleanGreen13: Good points about India and China. Growing countries. Just think if Cuba does the same. Dont take drops in the bucket so lightly. 7% just out of Anwr. We have many other sources where we can be pumping oil within the next year from some. Plus thats American jobs and tax money coming in. Thats where we get money to research ways to find new energy resources. What needs to be done is both. Pump oil and do research for new sources of energy.
Who's more friendly with the Saudis? Bush who kisses their king on the cheek, or the liberals who push so that we dont need them ever again. Hmmmm....Tough question
Anyway, instead of listening to what Sean hannity and these other right wing nuts tell you about how ANWR is suddenly going to make gas cheap again, how about addressing the real cause of expensive oil price. The constant devaluating US dollar and excessive speculation.
Tempest111. Listen pal, the price of gas in Nov of 2006 was $2.33 a gallon, new home sales up, unemployment 4.5, the dollar was doing fine. Than the democrats were voted in to end the war in Nov 2006 and here are the results: Gas $4.00 a gallon, new home sales down, Unemployment up 5.5, value of dollar down. Screw the democrats and thier friends the Saudis! You wont get away with your liberal crap here. Stop listening to Keith Dopermann and learn something. Or just shut up and pay the price!
LOL. typical right wing nut. Everything wrong with the world is the liberals' fault. And FYI, i'm not a liberal. I just call it like i see it.
Its obvious to anyone with a brain that Republicans love oil, so of course they love the Saudis.
And if you stopped to think for a minute, the war is one major reason why the dollar is in the crapper. All you seem to do is look for someone to blame instead of coming up with real answers.
It frustrats me that McCain has adopted the ridiculous liberal line about how it is necessary to keep Anwar 100% unencroached upon. If he took the sensible approach and realized that the benefits to society of Anwar drilling vastly outweigh any minute damage to frozen tundra and caribou that might be caused, he would have an issue that would just about guarantee him the Oval Office.
How can anyone know how much we would be saving. You are just repeating something you heard. The exact amount of oil in anwar is not known. We do know that it has the potential to be a very big find. All those who say that we'd only save this much and it would only last so long don't really know what they're talking about. The fact is that no on can or will know until we start drilling there.
I am a mudlogger in offshore rigs, we have 60 years known reserves in anwar and 100 years, at todays levels in colorada oil shale. we are sending our wealth to people who hate us, american oil for american jobs and prosperity, what else is online to power our economy?
Bravo!I agree with you 100%.I'm sick of this defeatist crap the Dumbs I mean Dems pull.We have a resource to use.Its stupid to finance our enemies buying their crude.We see what that Venezuelan dictator is doing offering to sell "discount" oil through Citgo....and naturally they got a Kennedy spokesman.If "God helps those who help themselves",which I thought was part of the Republican code of self sufficiency, why are we dragging our heels on this?Stupidity?
genYprogressive: I dont think the democrat controled congress and senate want to talk about it either. After all the have been in charge the last 17 months.
No entirely true, Bernie Sanders and Ron Paul and a small percent of congress has talked about inflation.
Point being is that gas prices is a combination of several things, and little domestic production is not one of them. ANWR, and domestic oil production is vastly overrated and will not make up for less imported oil.
Last week the Department of Energy released its report on drilling in ANWR. It says it would take 10 years to bring the oil online, AND it would reduce the price of crude by $0.75 per barrel. With a barrel selling for $133 today, that isn't worth it. Not even close. We need alternatives to petroleum based energy.
nigglefritz. What ever you read was a total lie! Nothing more. It makes no sence. Also tell that to China that has 32 oil wells going off the coast of Florida. Thats right. Our Florida. It did not take them 10 years to do 32 wells off the coast of Florida. Thats right, Florida. Our Florida. The same place where the wacko's wont let us drill in our country. Thats right, Florida. Our Florida. GET IT!
Contrary to the falsehoods of "mrallpurpose" the reality is that we have much more oil than we think we do. It's PAST time to start breaking the environazis like the Sierra Club under the RICO Act for interfering with our ability to drill, harvest, refine, and distribute our own oil. If we had a true common sense energy plan in place we would STILL be paying LESS THAN $1 a gallon even TODAY!
Destroying ANWR isn't the answer--comon sense is the answer. Thinking GREEN is the answer. Face it--your just gonna have to sell your "pick 'em up" truck & go Hybrid (cars of bikes), public tranportation, & think GREEN. Just look at environmental issues BEFORE vs AFTER the industrial revolution. To think we have not adversly effected the environment is asinine. You people are idiots.
mrallpurpose, I assume that you are either the victim of the sensationalism & scare tactics perpetrated by the sociopolitical activists (e.g. GreenPeace) who hijacked the 60's ecology movement, who currently use pseudoscience to mask their anti-business agendas, OR you believed every word your whiny, pointy-headed liberal college professors told you in the 90's. Either way, u would benefit from some deprogramming, IMO.
You might find The Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjorn Lomborg useful.
Instead of talking about sensible, responsible alternatives to fossil fuel, talking heads like you & others continue to babble about drilling for a SCARCE NATURAL RESOURCE. It is foolish to depend on resource that is LIMITED IN QUANITY. The bottom line--there are BILLIONS of dollars in drilling rights at stake in ANWR--some Damn body wants to get RICH--period. In the 150 years since the 2nd industrial revolution, we are already at a availability crossroads--think about that.
It is one thing to argue that the US should or should not drill on its own property (I am Austrian, so I will not comment on that). But I find it outrageous, that you dispute man-made global warming using your arguments. Humans are powerful enough to damage the earth, remember the hole in the ocone layer? BTW, every regarded scientist does not dispute that global warming happens anyway too a lesser extent. Man contributes to it (fact), the only question is how big the contribution is.
Honestly I do not think downplaying the situation and not listening to the scientists won't make the world better either. BTW, the Bush administration tried to scare the whole world on daily basis, remember how often they use the word terror?
And that hole in the ozone layer (how come we never hear about that anymore?) which you consider to be manmade, happens to be over Antartica. You know, the most pristine, untouched by human hands enviroment possible? How do you explain that? Did the CFCs or whatever "sink to the bottom" or something? Give me a break...
@acb: Honestly, you don't know anything about science, but you try to convince people that you know something about it. Look it up on the internet! Even the ones who are completely on the opposite side of the environmentalists agree on that issue. Read it up, it would enlight your mind.
OttoKugelfang. Quit trying to be a know everything and do some research yourself before you speak. I cant help but hear the trash from your side. Do some research and stop being brain washed.
Destroying ANWR isn't the answer--comon sense is the answer. Thinking GREEN is the answer. Face it--your just gonna have to sell your "pick 'em up" truck & go Hybrid (cars of bikes), public tranportation, & think GREEN.

Dreadmore. I did not say McCain was for it. We need to take action on this. McCain was for out right amnesty to. We shut him down. Fact is when the American people do stand up in huge numbers and shut down the phone lines to the congress and senate we do get our way. President Bush is for drilling. If we had listened to him back in 2001 this video would have never been made.
SeekerNLife. With the price going up you just may be surprised how quick people will change their minds about not wanting one built near them. You are so right. "The price of gas is never going to go down, until more refineries are built."
I absoultely agree. If we learn to drill for our own oil and learn to better conserve our resources, we WILL get through this gas crisis. And I know if we really try, we can get the oil in an enviromentally safe way. Better we do it as opposed to depending on some Third World country that has little to no regard for drilling in an enviromentally responsible way.
acb06172005. I could not agree with you more. Right now China is drilling for oil 50 miles off the Florida coast. We cant, they can. Can you believe it.
I forgot to mention about looking into making new nuclear plants as well. That too can help decrease our dependence on foreign energy. To paraphrase (sort of) one of Rush's 35 Undeniable Truths: We can drill for our own oil and make nuclear power plants in an enviromentally safe and responsible way, if it weren't for the so-called "enviromentalists".
PS: Don't forget about that email I sent ya regarding the UFCW and helping its conservative/Republican members get a fairer shake.
No it is not about time, it will have no effect on fuel prices. The only way to lower fuel prices is to remove all republicans from office. Yes Bush is friend of Saudis. If 100% of the oil revenues went to the treasury, we could eliminate the gas tax.
Pirucreek. Are you an idiot? Look at your own statement! You don't make sense. We are asking other countries to produce more oil when we have tons of it here! We have our own and we don't need theirs. Ask if Chavez for example cares about the environment. He doesn't! Go study some common sense economics. Liberals are begging for a second revolution in this country and we know who would win that one.
pirucreek. To say it will have no effect on fuel prices is stupid. Get off this channel. We dont have time for your nonsence. Shut up and pay the price libby lib.
Hey Pirucreek! What about all the equipment and manpower that is paid for by the oil companies? What about all the jobs the oil companies create?
When you can raise the money to build your own oil rig from scratch and a refinery, and bring the crude oil to market, then you can send all the money to Uncle Sam!
pirucreek is thy name, Pie-In-The Sky Dimwiticism is thy philosophy!
The environment is used as smoke and mirrors to steal the oil for the oil companies and CEO/Bush network. Clinton vetoed the bill in 1995, increasing the value of US assets by $2-$20 trillion. Bush enter office gas $1.20 a gallon, Bush leaves office gas $3.00 a gallon. Why he is conning America and his collaide fallowers above say the oil is for us. But they fail to say how many $ per barrel or % per barrel the government will receive.
pirucreek. Dont post lies here libby. Gas was $1.77 when Clinton left office and going up. Not $1.20 like you say. Heve you ever heard of China? Well the past 8 years for your info there has been over a 100% increase in the number of people driving cars over there. Millions of people 40 years and older for the first time now are allowed and can afford a car which means they are useing a hell of alot more gas. The world does not revolve around your own little world. Wake up!
Liberals complain and moan about global warming and carbon dioxide blah blah blah. If they were that serious, they would stop breathing since they are loading the air with lots of carbon dioxide every time they take a breath. Daggone hypocrites.
I agree with you 100%. I wouldn't mind if this money would end up to other democratic and peaceful nations (Canada, Norway, US and UK) WHat pisses me off the most is that this freaking money off oil ends up subsidizing more terrorism. A million more bbl a day would cut the price by 10 dollars or so.
I wish it WERE common knowledge, but I'm not so certain that it is. After all, hasn't the left convinced us all that we have to worry about how it will affect the poor lil' carabao? Waitaminute! Let's kill 2 birds with one stone! Drilling in ANWR will provide us with reduced gas prices, AND a new, healthful, high-quality protein food source that we can distribute to the poor: carabao meat! That way, Geph Dickheart's poor ole' mom can take her meds & won't have to eat dog food anymore!
I wouldn't go that far, but we DO need to drill the ANWR. We have already discovered that the Caribou actively reproduce near the Alaskan pipeline. We may be able to expect the same for other Arctic fauna.
Hmmm. My attempts at satirical humor have fallen short, I see. LOL! Yeah, I was really just agreeing with you, and attempting to go for a cheap laugh as well. I guess I'll just have to continue to listen to Dennis Miller's radio show, to ascertain how The Master does it!
I think that given the intense attitudes most of us hold, on both sides of the issue, that a little levity is necessary once in a while. Even Geri Halliwell said that it is important to learn to laugh at ourselves, don't take life too seriously. Why can't we adopt that attitude a little bit more?
The reason is that liberals want to destroy everything that has made America the greatest civilization EVER! They have gone too far to the left and they must be stopped no matter what. I want the American dream alive for my daughter and her children.
Well presented Lonnie, and as always, much appreciated. Time to become independent, or at the least, a plan to achieve that goal. Drilling is one of the important options we must consider and move forward with. 5's
Just paid $3.95/gallon today. Unless there is an abrupt retreat in the oil futures market, spurred by some new oil supply, $4.50-$5.00 is not that far away. Alternative fuels/energy should most certainly be developed, but they will not be able to significantly affect demand for oil in any short time frame. The economy will not weather this forever, and despite all liberal "good intentions", the pain will be very real if new oil supplies are not developed soon.
I do think you are right, but many will be slow to admit "Bush was right" but he was and we need to create all energy that we can here and as soon as possible.
Hey, CVA: Remember back in the 90s, when Libs were trying to shame all of us into driving small cars and saving gas? Their main talking point THEN was that "The French/Germans/{insert Euro-weenie liberal country here} pay over FOUR DOLLARS for their gasoline! We're so wasteful because our gas is so cheap--if WE had $4 gasoline, Americans would finally get serious about our dependence on oil..." Well, guess what: Gas is at or near $4.00 across the land. And the Libs STILL aren't happy.
The libs were in that stalled and failed mindset back in the 70s and they haven't progressed since! Maybe it's time to break the Sierra Clubs and other environazis under the RICO Act --- and lock them in prison where they belong!
Meantime alternative fuel is very important, Oil is much important than bio-fuel. In any case, out society still depends too much on Crude Oil and it is more likely from abroad where less security provided.
Higher oil price has something to do with demand and supply such as China is demanding more AND huge investment. Recent insecurity in Nigeria has caused more problems. Environmental or animal-rights groups care nothing about economy, they just try to damage it more than environment.
takasito. Yes sir, alternative fuel is very important. We should be looking into other ways. It would be wise to do both. You also hit on something that does not get talked about enough. China is demanding more. Millions of people 40 years and older over there are owning a car for the first time in their lives. China is doing the right thing for their country by making a huge investment into drilling for oil. One place is 50 miles off the Florida coast. We cant, they can. Nuts!
Drilling own oil in own nation will not increase the usage of oil, but it will give the USA less dependency on foreign oil such as Arabs or Hugo Chavez's Venezuela. Bio-fuel has caused the poor nations incapable of supplying food and destroying rain forest in Indonesia and Amazon.
Environmental and animal-rights bums do not care about the economy. They want all industries and poor people to suffer the worst. It is right time to stop them.
USAGymnast: Yes, you are right. More than 75% of Alaskans favor exploration and production in ANWR. The democratically elected Alaska State Legislatures, congressional delegations, and Governors elected over the past 25 years have unanimously supported opening the Coastal Plain of ANWR. The Inupiat Eskimos who live in and near ANWR support onshore oil development on the Coastal Plain.
Wrecking the ecology and environment of ANWR is a very short sighted bandaid to a long term problem that will absolutely renew itself in a short few years. OK let's say it helps some for a decade or two. Think that's an answer? Destroying the pristine environment of America's natural wonders, like America's constitution, is careless and less than intelligent. It takes literally millions, billions of years to create what we can destroy overnight.
We heard the same liberal trash about the Alaska pipeline and about the North Shore drilling. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Liberal talking points. Use fear or feel good talk. Does not work here. Liberals see the glass as half empty all the time. Yes we can! Makes much more sence to use the phrase for drilling in Anwr than Obama useing it for his false hope and change campaign.
You and I have talked a lot about this and the simple reality of the matter is that oil and the price of crude is a huge issue that can't simple be talked about in these vague terms where we hear the same tired rhetoric. "We have to stop relying on foreign oil", "we need fuel alternatives", or whatever else it may be. Well thanks for the newsflash. 30 years ago, we were hearing the same thing and 30 years later it's still a dominant issue as we get no closer. Of course, then when a real solution
shows itself, what do we do but promptly shut the door to it, condemn those who propose it and carry on with the rhetoric. If they were truly committed to the solutions and not just having partisan rhetoric ANWR wouldn't be an issue, we would be increasing our petro production and relying considerably less on foreign oil, like these politicians say we must. Give me a break. It's become political saber rattling since day one and it is going to continue to be just that as we continue to pay more
and more at the pump with little to no releif. Want to talk about a gas tax holiday or truly talk about lowering the price, then increase domestic production.
Anyways, I can go on and on, great video my friend, keep talking about this issue, it's an important one and glad to see you there at the fore front of it.
Wyatt: Thank you for you excellent comments. From our talks I know you know more than most people about the situation with oil. It would be great if you would do a video on this subject. I plan on doing more videos on the drilling for oil in Anwr on how much of a positive impact it would be for everyone from jobs to price. Its a winning ticket all the way around.
I have been thinking about it but I knew you were going to make one and I wanted to make sure you had the first word on it because you do offer a great starting point on the issue.
TheBorgLives. Thank you for your excellent comment Larry. We need to do something now. Its time to drill. We should have started years ago. We are now paying the price.
HomoGeneyes: In 1980, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated the Coastal Plain could contain up to 17 billion barrels of oil and 34 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Now, North Slope oil fields at its peak in 1996 produced about 1.5 million barrels of oil per day, or approximately 25 percent of the U.S. domestic production. 92% of Anwr would be left untouched. The drilling would be job a very small area of the 8% used. You dont drill a hole a mile wide.
I think it could be a little more than 1% but would agree it is only a part of mosiac of such places that together by us enough time to make a real change in the way we address energy and growing needs.
Liberal idiots are scaring not just our country, but the entire world. Because of Al Gore's movie, there are countries all over the world who are now burining food for fuel. Food prices have made a 40% jump here in America in the last year because Al Gore's hysteria movie. Now, poor people in 3rd world countries are fighting and protesting for food!
Thes liberal idiots, and I'm sorry to say that includes John McCain, are doing their best to keep America dependent on foreign oil.
ccgraphics20. Read this: Armed with Gore's utility bills for the last two years, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research charged Monday that the gas and electric bills for the former vice president's 20-room home and pool house devoured nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006, more than 20 times the national average of 10,656 kilowatt-hours. $30,000-a-year.
Only four letters can solve the problem of the envirofascists and the Democrats---RICO!
Use RICO Laws against Friends of The Earth, Greenpeace, and especially Earth Liberation Front. They are corrupting the economy of the United States by their Terrorist type tactics and coercion with the left extreme of the Democrats.
And Global Warming is the BIGGEST HOAX there ever was. Don't believe that? That's the first step in becoming an envirofascist.
NEPatriot. Thank you for the awesome comment! I love it. You nailed everything in one comment! Here Al Gore is getting rich off of kids buying his book and movie. Armed with Gore's utility bills for the last two years, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research charged Monday that the gas and electric bills for the former vice president's 20-room home and pool house devoured nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006, more than 20 times the national average of 10,656 kilowatt-hours. $30,000-a-year.
Oil prices are set by world markets. Not the US. Anwar will not reduce the price for oil. Lack of consumption will. Price projections are that oil will go to $45/barrel because the US economy (a major consumer) will in a recession.
That model asumes the previous global positions without China and others being in the growth rate they are and that manipulation isn't afoot.
Wide spread domestic drilling will effect pricing from the supply side. Alaska, is one location of many considered off limits. It is not fully mapped for oil and may hold the resources found in Canada.
Canada isn't being backward about this. Why should we be so until better systems become more feasible?
Newsflash: drilling in Alaska will NOT bring gas prices down. It will just make tons of money for a select few. Unless you can realize additional production of more than 10% of current global consumption, gas prices will not budge significantly. Estimates of Alaska additional production: less than 2% of world consumption. So get your head out of your ass. We need to end oil dependency, hang the oil barons, and move forward. Not necessarily in that order.
You can't end oil's use within a short period of time. You need to buy time with wide domestic drilling and refining. The alternatives available fall short and some even do more harm than good.
Alaska, not fully mapped for oil as you suggest, is only one example of the limitation of domestic production. Limiting any method available is like entering a fight with you hands tied. That is a half assed way of doing things.
BTW, the oil barons are in the commodities market and never discussed.
alicia1996. You could not be more wrong. Newsflash!!!! In 1980, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated the Coastal Plain could contain up to 17 billion barrels of oil and 34 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Now, North Slope oil fields at its peak in 1996 produced about 1.5 million barrels of oil per day, or approximately 25 percent of the U.S. domestic production. Also next time you tell somebody where to put their head you go bye bye.
Good points Lonnie! People don't blink an eye about other things but get all mad about gas prices. A typical latte costs $3.59 for 16 oz...that's .22 cents per ounce or $28.72 a gallon! 5/5
truthforamerica. Marvin, I am a typical bitter American and I want to drill in Anwr, cling to my guns and religion. Oh, and not vote for Barack Hussein Obama! :)
environmentalists only criticize the us more than 3rd world countries because they live in it every day, and they have this feeling that they are a part of a country that has the resources to combat the pollution they see. sure, china is just as big an offender, if not worse, than the us, but thats because they look at us and think its a moral imperative to own two suvs and leave their lights on 24/7. the solution to these problems is in demand, not supply.
Twelvethirteenyo, they also give hollywood a pass on waste and pollution and anyone else who takes an anti-american position. You see the domestic ones have no problem condemning US allies as well. It is a well developed pattern seen over decades.
Sadly, many of these false enviromentalists know little of what they speak and use fear, falsehoods and half-truths to achieve other goals. They demonize people like me who are often more conserving then them because we want rational weighted effort.
It's time for our government to get serious but then to get out of the way. Please write or phone your elected representatives in Washington, D.C., and ask the question, "Why not 'ANWR' and other U.S. locations?"
I'm a high-school kid, young 'un at that too. One of my OWN TEACHERS asked me how could I possibly say that there is not man-made global warming occuring right now? I'll tell you what Lonnie... I told him right there EXACTLY what you said in your video, which is why I just remembered this now. Keep up the great work and oh-before I forget, although I go to private school and have tremendous respect for my teachers, what you say is true. Students are subjected to liberal ideas...[continued]
[continued]...just yesterday, for example, my European history teacher (a very smart guy!) gave everyone a handout providing a standpoint that the United States should not have bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WWII. While this is seemingly irrelevant, I am the only one who openly opposes any attempts to 'liberalize' the school system. Keep up what you're doing here Lonnie. You're a great influence. ;-)
FrostByte38. Its great you are standing up for yourself. Many teachers even though they are smart do not know all the facts because they themselves were taught by liberals and never questioned them. If we did not drop the nukes Hiroshima and Nagasaki the war would have lasted for years and another 400,000-500,000 America troops lives would have been lost. If we had not dropped the nukes maybe your teacher would not have been born. Also Japan and the United States are very good friends today.
Absolutely Lonnie, ANWR is very important and will solve our problem. People need to stop complaining about foreign oil if they aren't ready to do what needs doing.
chrismiddleton23I agree with you 100% my friend. In 1980, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated the Coastal Plain could contain up to 17 billion barrels of oil and 34 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Now, North Slope oil fields at its peak in 1996 produced about 1.5 million barrels of oil per day, or approximately 25 percent of the U.S. domestic production.
I agree with you Lonnie, but I have to say, I was watching Bill o'reilly interview john mccain, and unless I heard him wrong, Mccain doesn't want to drill there either. That's really upsetting news. I hope Mccain changes his mind soon.
Time to drill for American made fuel that cannot be affected by an attack in the middle east. Yes, I want hydrogen as well as other sources, but we also can't totally get away from oil and cars today are cleaner, safer and more efficient compared to the old bombers of the disco 70s.

On things like foreign policy, I take an America First paleoconservative position. I'm not a neocon or nation-builder. And I'm Humans First on environmental issues. If something helps us but affects a few whales or fish or whatever that we don't own or have as pets, I could care less. Why do fringe left groups like PETA care so much about animals they don't own, know, or will probably never see that much in their lifetimes? It's madness! They care more about them than people.
Whoo69 3 years ago
I never really cared for the environmental tree-huggers or the animal rights folks. They're at the fringes of the Left. Drill all we have to in order to lower prices, I say.
Environmentalism is only appropriate when it goes after lax standards on polluted air and water, for example. You know, stuff that actually affects our health and safety. Like McCain said, even if GW isn't real, we should still adopt moderate standards to protect ourselves in the future, and air will be cleaner.

I am very liberal on social issues and some economics, but I am all for drilling at home. We have to get off our dependence on foreign oil. And it is interesting to note that, for all the bitching about energy independence from the Middle East, we really get a lot more of our foreign oil from Latin America than anywhere else. Why aren't we railing against Chavez, too, for all the oil we buy from him?
Fuck the whales and all the other animals that may be affected in ANWR. Big deal.

CleanGreen13 3 years ago
CleanGreen13: LMAO! I know you are not in the oil business. We cant pump 40 billion barrels of oil in 5 years. We are looking to get just 1 and a half million barrels of oil from Anwr a day. It has enough oil for at least 30 years at that rate. You also dont talk about tens of thousands of American jobs it will create and more tax money coming into the goverment so we can invest in other sourses of energy. Plus you dont mention the Florida coast or inland ND & Co.

Actually I work for a Geotechnical company I never said the anything about rate just quality. 1.5 Million barrels a day that less 7% of what USA currently uses. Oil is world world wide commidity.

Hey Pirucreek! What about all the equipment and manpower that is paid for by the oil companies? What about all the jobs the oil companies create?
When you can raise the money to build your own oil rig from scratch and a refinery, and bring the crude oil to market, then you can send all the money to Uncle Sam!

The environment is used as smoke and mirrors to steal the oil for the oil companies and CEO/Bush network. Clinton vetoed the bill in 1995, increasing the value of US assets by $2-$20 trillion. Bush enter office gas $1.20 a gallon, Bush leaves office gas $3.00 a gallon. Why he is conning America and his collaide fallowers above say the oil is for us. But they fail to say how many $ per barrel or % per barrel the government will receive.
pirucreek 3 years ago
pirucreek. Dont post lies here libby. Gas was $1.77 when Clinton left office and going up. Not $1.20 like you say. Heve you ever heard of China? Well the past 8 years for your info there has been over a 100% increase in the number of people driving cars over there. Millions of people 40 years and older for the first time now are allowed and can afford a car which means they are useing a hell of alot more gas. The world does not revolve around your own little world. Wake up!

Lanny,
I agree with you 100%. I wouldn't mind if this money would end up to other democratic and peaceful nations (Canada, Norway, US and UK) WHat pisses me off the most is that this freaking money off oil ends up subsidizing more terrorism. A million more bbl a day would cut the price by 10 dollars or so.

Everybody knows that it is common knowledge that it is PAST time we drilled ANWR, drilled the coasts, and built new refineries!
sr71atomica 3 years ago
I wish it WERE common knowledge, but I'm not so certain that it is. After all, hasn't the left convinced us all that we have to worry about how it will affect the poor lil' carabao? Waitaminute! Let's kill 2 birds with one stone! Drilling in ANWR will provide us with reduced gas prices, AND a new, healthful, high-quality protein food source that we can distribute to the poor: carabao meat! That way, Geph Dickheart's poor ole' mom can take her meds & won't have to eat dog food anymore!

I wouldn't go that far, but we DO need to drill the ANWR. We have already discovered that the Caribou actively reproduce near the Alaskan pipeline. We may be able to expect the same for other Arctic fauna.

I think that given the intense attitudes most of us hold, on both sides of the issue, that a little levity is necessary once in a while. Even Geri Halliwell said that it is important to learn to laugh at ourselves, don't take life too seriously. Why can't we adopt that attitude a little bit more?

Just paid $3.95/gallon today. Unless there is an abrupt retreat in the oil futures market, spurred by some new oil supply, $4.50-$5.00 is not that far away. Alternative fuels/energy should most certainly be developed, but they will not be able to significantly affect demand for oil in any short time frame. The economy will not weather this forever, and despite all liberal "good intentions", the pain will be very real if new oil supplies are not developed soon.
As always, great video Lonnie!

Hey, CVA: Remember back in the 90s, when Libs were trying to shame all of us into driving small cars and saving gas? Their main talking point THEN was that "The French/Germans/{insert Euro-weenie liberal country here} pay over FOUR DOLLARS for their gasoline! We're so wasteful because our gas is so cheap--if WE had $4 gasoline, Americans would finally get serious about our dependence on oil..." Well, guess what: Gas is at or near $4.00 across the land. And the Libs STILL aren't happy.

Meantime alternative fuel is very important, Oil is much important than bio-fuel. In any case, out society still depends too much on Crude Oil and it is more likely from abroad where less security provided.
Higher oil price has something to do with demand and supply such as China is demanding more AND huge investment. Recent insecurity in Nigeria has caused more problems. Environmental or animal-rights groups care nothing about economy, they just try to damage it more than environment.
takasito 3 years ago
takasito. Yes sir, alternative fuel is very important. We should be looking into other ways. It would be wise to do both. You also hit on something that does not get talked about enough. China is demanding more. Millions of people 40 years and older over there are owning a car for the first time in their lives. China is doing the right thing for their country by making a huge investment into drilling for oil. One place is 50 miles off the Florida coast. We cant, they can. Nuts!
ConservativeVoiceUSA 3 years ago
Drilling own oil in own nation will not increase the usage of oil, but it will give the USA less dependency on foreign oil such as Arabs or Hugo Chavez's Venezuela. Bio-fuel has caused the poor nations incapable of supplying food and destroying rain forest in Indonesia and Amazon.
Environmental and animal-rights bums do not care about the economy. They want all industries and poor people to suffer the worst. It is right time to stop them.

USAGymnast: Yes, you are right. More than 75% of Alaskans favor exploration and production in ANWR.

The Inupiat Eskimos who live in and near ANWR support onshore oil development on the Coastal Plain.

Wrecking the ecology and environment of ANWR is a very short sighted bandaid to a long term problem that will absolutely renew itself in a short few years. OK let's say it helps some for a decade or two. Think that's an answer? Destroying the pristine environment of America's natural wonders, like America's constitution, is careless and less than intelligent. It takes literally millions, billions of years to create what we can destroy overnight.
Let's look for smart longterm solutions.

Liberals see the glass as half empty all the time. Yes we can! Makes much more sence to use the phrase for drilling in Anwr than Obama useing it for his false hope and change campaign.

You and I have talked a lot about this and the simple reality of the matter is that oil and the price of crude is a huge issue that can't simple be talked about in these vague terms where we hear the same tired rhetoric. "We have to stop relying on foreign oil", "we need fuel alternatives", or whatever else it may be. Well thanks for the newsflash. 30 years ago, we were hearing the same thing and 30 years later it's still a dominant issue as we get no closer. Of course, then when a real solution
wyattmcintyre 3 years ago
shows itself, what do we do but promptly shut the door to it, condemn those who propose it and carry on with the rhetoric. If they were truly committed to the solutions and not just having partisan rhetoric ANWR wouldn't be an issue, we would be increasing our petro production and relying considerably less on foreign oil, like these politicians say we must. Give me a break. It's become political saber rattling since day one and it is going to continue to be just that as we continue to pay more
wyattmcintyre 3 years ago
and more at the pump with little to no releif. Want to talk about a gas tax holiday or truly talk about lowering the price, then increase domestic production.
Anyways, I can go on and on, great video my friend, keep talking about this issue, it's an important one and glad to see you there at the fore front of it.

HomoGeneyes: In 1980, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated the Coastal Plain could contain up to 17 billion barrels of oil and 34 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Now, North Slope oil fields at its peak in 1996 produced about 1.5 million barrels of oil per day, or approximately 25 percent of the U.S. domestic production. 92% of Anwr would be left untouched. The drilling would be job a very small area of the 8% used. You dont drill a hole a mile wide.

Oil prices are set by world markets. Not the US. Anwar will not reduce the price for oil. Lack of consumption will. Price projections are that oil will go to $45/barrel because the US economy (a major consumer) will in a recession.
roachmobile 3 years ago
That model asumes the previous global positions without China and others being in the growth rate they are and that manipulation isn't afoot.
Wide spread domestic drilling will effect pricing from the supply side. Alaska, is one location of many considered off limits. It is not fully mapped for oil and may hold the resources found in Canada.
Canada isn't being backward about this. Why should we be so until better systems become more feasible?
PhantomRazor 3 years ago
Newsflash: drilling in Alaska will NOT bring gas prices down. It will just make tons of money for a select few. Unless you can realize additional production of more than 10% of current global consumption, gas prices will not budge significantly. Estimates of Alaska additional production: less than 2% of world consumption. So get your head out of your ass. We need to end oil dependency, hang the oil barons, and move forward. Not necessarily in that order.

You can't end oil's use within a short period of time. You need to buy time with wide domestic drilling and refining. The alternatives available fall short and some even do more harm than good.
Alaska, not fully mapped for oil as you suggest, is only one example of the limitation of domestic production. Limiting any method available is like entering a fight with you hands tied. That is a half assed way of doing things.
BTW, the oil barons are in the commodities market and never discussed.

environmentalists only criticize the us more than 3rd world countries because they live in it every day, and they have this feeling that they are a part of a country that has the resources to combat the pollution they see. sure, china is just as big an offender, if not worse, than the us, but thats because they look at us and think its a moral imperative to own two suvs and leave their lights on 24/7. the solution to these problems is in demand, not supply.

If we had not dropped the nukes maybe your teacher would not have been born. Also Japan and the United States are very good friends today.
