Wacka Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thought I'd put this in here. Pelosi Myth #1 - More drilling will not reduce pump prices: ... But,but, but BUSH BAD!!!!!!!! NO BLOOD FOR OIL! HALIBURTON! Make up one of those "you've been owned" things for Stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilannie Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 So let me get this straight, McCain is proposing offshore drilling which according to the Bush administration would increase oil production by 200,000 barrels per day by 2030, which would be a whopping 1% of our daily consumption. According to the EIA "The projections in the OCS access case indicate that access to the Pacific, Atlantic, and eastern Gulf regions would not have a significant impact on domestic crude oil and natural gas production or prices before 2030. Leasing would begin no sooner than 2012, and production would not be expected to start before 2017". Despite this the majority of people here see to be on the "drill here drill now" bandwagon. Why? So we can have 1% more oil 22 years from now? This is the cornerstone of the Republicans energy plan? Yet Obama mentions one "low hanging fruit" from his energy plan energy plan that can prevent the 4 million gallons of gas that is wasted daily for every square inch of underinflated tires immediately and gets ridiculed for it. It almost seems like a certain political party wants the public to consume as much gas as possibe in the least efficient ways, I wonder why?

He immediately got ridiculed for it because saying it will give us the same amount of gas as off-shore drilling was a stupid thing to claim. Obviously, people keeping their tires inflated is not a bad thing in and of itself. Saying that it will give us the equivalent of 8,400,000 gallons of gas a day (more than that 4 million that you posted above) was flat out wrong and rather ignorant.

And it will haunt him right through the debates. The best thing he could do is fess up that he made an incorrect statement. He probably won't, but he probably should.

The difference is that it's 4 million gallons of gas per day that we can have tomorrow versus the 8.4 million per day that will be available at earliest 2017.

I guess some here and in Congress think its OK to keep sending hundreds and hundreds of millions of US dollars to other country's for oil and feed their economy's....

VABills Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 http://www.sierrastar.com/104/story/45528.html An estimated 2 trillion barrels of oil exist in the form of oil shale in the United States. To put that number in perspective, Saudi Arabian oil reserves have only 800 billion barrels of oil available. Unfortunately, Congress (under Democrat control), passed a law banning the use of our own oil shale -- one of the bills in the American-Made Energy package would repeal the ban and allow us to use this resource to benefit the U.S. consumer.

Chilly Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 http://newsbusters.org/blogs/lyndsi-thomas...on-plan-no-joke Yes, I read that joke of an article, which assumes that no one does it. It also implies that the 3% and 4% you save are daily usage of oil, which it isn't - its the amount each individual car could potentially save if they had tires which were barely inflated and had been driving for 10 years without a tuneup.
