“Get used to it”, I doubt we ever will. North Dakota is pumping lots of oil, lets make our people wealthy.

Lets sign a petition to encourage domestic drilling and alternative energy production now!

DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW, PAY LESS!

The US is the Saudi Arabia of Coal, We are all now learning we are the Saudi Arabia of Oil Shale.

We can develop ANWR, The Gulf of Mexico and off the Coast of California as well as Oil Shale out west. The US would never need to import another drop of oil. Can You say NATIONAL SECURITY. Can you imagine the what would happen to the Middle East without the massive wealth of the US going there.

I think gas would become pretty affordable.

There is one group of people standing in the way.

LIBERAL DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!

Shale oil is a scam!

It contains 30% of the energy found in crude oil…therefore, you need three times the volume to provide the same amount of energy.

Mining enough of it would turn the west into an open pit.

Fossil fuels are the past, move on already.

Shale oil would not be a fuel product but a materials product.

Shell Oil is trying to make us all sick!

Take your bike to work.

Stop the INSANITY!!

It’s simple. All those opposed to the use of oil or coal, raise your hand. Thank you. Now you can voluntarily surrender every product and service you now receive dependent on that oil. Oh, and by the way, indecent exposure is punishable by jail time. Which is good because you will either bake or freeze in the nude without your polyester, cotton, wool, etc. clothes. And if you start a fire, well, carbon is a no-no. And you don’t want to get the Sierra Club huffed up.

Where does this idiocy end?

I HATE paying the prices we are paying for gas, but I’d be willing to keep paying these prices if it meant we’d be using our own resources and the middle east would never see another dime of U.S. dollars. Let them EAT their oil.

I’d like to expand on Mary Jo’s comment about taking a bike to work- more people should be allowed to telecommute. THere are so many professions that can be accomplished at home. Employers need to wake up and let their employees work at least 2 days a week at home.

How many barrels of oil do you think we can get from a single liberal?
They constitute an abundant, untapped, carbon-based resource that few would miss.
I heard there is now a moratorium on installing solar-power electric farms on federal lands because the enviro-nazi’s filed suit. Aren’t they the ones that wanted solar-power?

SAVE AMERICA, DRILL A LIBERAL!

If all the money we are now sending over seas buying THEIR oil stayed here the economy would be booming. Only fools keep saying don’t drill here. You are also hypocrites because you ask OPEC to increase production, something you will not do yourself. Stop with the lies about oil shale, it is a great product and the technology is now available to get it safely. ANWR would not be harmed, 1/10 of 1%? If you think that is too much area, you have no sense. 50 – 120 miles off shore for drilling, too close? Come on, show some sense and stop committing suicide.

Colorado has become as flaky as cali. Don’t expect them to care about any one else but themselves.

Maryjo, you take your frick’n bike to work. As for me, I’ll drive my yukon. Filler up baby!

Xdem is right….but only cuz all the f%#@&*( californians have come here seeking lower property taxes and cheap living. Now gone because of the people they’ve voted in. Yeah CO/UT sit on massive amounts of oil shale. But Gov. Bill “agricultural trespass” Ritter is too busy importing illegal immigrants. He is actually going to start mandating that all oil & gas work that does go on in CO be shut down for 3 months every year for environmental impact studies. He cares nothing for Coloradoans, LMAO I mean he doesn’t have to pay for his gas…the tax payers of Colorado do.

The EPA and the leftest wacko tree hugging needs to be brought down and fast!

Let’s face some facts, if we import 13 million barrels of oil a day at $140/bbl we will spend $664 billion in one year for imported oil. That’s a stack of $100 bills stretching 418 miles for one year of imported oil! Where’s the outrage, we’ve only spent $550 billion in the seven year Iraq war?! Do you realize that the price in 1999 fell below $10/bbl and the government did nothing to help out American oil companies. Saudi could still make it on $10 oil but the US could not. Exxon is the solution not the cause. Take away their profits and see just how bad it gets. The solution, drill here for increased production, car pool with higher MPG cars to cut consumption, and limit the world’s population. These politicians won’t solve it…

Golly, gee-whiz Superman! Ya mean we don’t have to learn how to CONSERVE our natural resources,RESEARCH alternative energy sources,CHANGE the way we use energy in the U.S. and SUPPORT mass transit?? Ya mean we can CONTINUE to use more energy than all other countries in the world combined AND we can also look forward to EXPLOITING and wrecking the eco-systems in the western U.S. Ya mean to say, there are no consequences for short-sighted greed, mismanagement and destructive plundering of the planet? WOW SUPERMAN ! I never knew life could be so easy and carefree; if I could just learn to forget those little things like global warming..! Gosh, maybe I’m on the wrong planet. Beam me up Scotty. There is no intelligent life on Earth anymore. Superman has been disabled by Kryptonite (disguised as shale) and he ain’t answering anymore distress calls.

Jennifer C. – It’s people who think like you that have gotten us into this mess.Using our own resources is not exploiting them. It is smart. We need more energy while the alternatives are developed and do you think mass transit can be build in a day? It is your short sighted stupidity that have wrecked the economy with high fuel prices. Mass transit does not work in many parts of the US. We have plenty of resources here and all the money going over seas would do wonders here. By the way, global warming is still theory, it is not fact.

That’s assuming global warming is real. Think for yourself.

Jennifer C you need a bath and a shave, you are starting to smell. You save the earth chicks all share being extra ugly, switch hitters, Big MALE dog lovers, and horses too! You can usually smell your type before they come out of the forest! Your Left Wing rants are tired old crap!

As someone who lives in Colorado I can tell you three gallons of water to produce one gallon of oil is going to be hard to pull off. Colorado’s snow melt is supplying much of the drinking water in the west.

As a business owner, I understand the need to protect the environment, but it must be done within reason. The new religion of man-made global warming and rabid environmentalism is slowly choking our economy. Cries by politicians for more taxes from the oil companies is lunacy at its highest. What the crappy politicians don’t tell you is that they get $2 in tax for every $1 an oil company earns after all its costs. There is no industry so highly risky as the oil business given the massive capital investment and long-term planning required. They are entitled to a profit. Even at these retail price levels, the oil companies themselves, only realize a 5 – 8% profit. I don’t like the high prices at the pump any more than the next person, but I’m old enough to appreciate the fact that in order to secure crude oil in a peak oil environment, we must give the oil companies the tools, the investment capital and incentive to take the risks and keep the crude flowing.

Personally, I don’t think the government should profit at the expense of the oil companies or the American consumer. The politicians have not remembered that they are employed by the people, not the other way around.

Ideally, I want the US to be free from imported oil. Is that a realistic goal? I don’t know. But I know something for certain, no politician will provide even one barrel of crude oil to an energy-thirsty America. I say let private industry do their job and tell the stupid politicians to get our of their way!

HEY MARY JO!!!

I would love to ride my bike to work…IN JANUARY!
I can see it now, millions of people in the North riding their little bicycles to work everyday in sub-zero temperatures.
YOU ARE A MORON MARY JO!
A bacon eating moron!

Mr. Here we go again,

what kind of tard logic are you using? The term shale oil defines the geologic formation the oil is found in, the stuff you squeeze out IS crude oil. So cut your hair, take a bath, get a job, and keep your opinions on worldly matters to yourself, tard.

Our “one plank” energy policy and our energy inefficient economy (see our crappy fuel economy standards as a start) are what got us into this problem not the crazy leftist greens, who, lets face it, have been on the defensive for the last 7 years.

That being said, we need to increase the domstestic supply of fossil fuels as a stop-gap measure while strengthening other, better means of energy production.

We can’t realistically drill our way to total energy independence, but it can buy us time.

Here’s an answer for the water issue- divert/pipe some water out of the Mississippi, just maybe that will kill two birds w/one stone.
Please you in the minority – environmental freaks,you tree hugging fruit flies… Sit Down and Shut Up or leave,your non-sense is just that.

Liberal’s have to be credited with 1/2 the blame for where we are, as a dependant nation, the weak Republicans…1/4 of the blame,the balance is our fault,the voters and non-voting fool’s among us.We have been duped,divided and almost conquered.
It is way over due for the true majority “common-sense thinking people” to stand up and make all of these elected charlatans do what we say or pay with their political future. It is a simple choice, if you have a spine? Stand up!

How about urine…ordinary human waste. Could anybody expound on this. I’ve heard that a certain Country in Asia had been using this to fuel their car, they put 2% alcohol in the mix. Any comment on this, thanks.

the contention that oil was formed from the remains of plant and animal life that died millions of years ago is BS. Instead,oil is abiotic: a primordial material that the earth forms and exudes on a continual basis and is pushed upward toward the earth’s surface by the intense pressures of the earth’s core and the influence of the centrifugal force that the earth exerted upon the specific gravity of oil as a fluid substance…i.e oil is NOT a a finite resource but is “grown” deep in the earths crust

WE ARE NOT RUNNING OUT OF OIL

my point is that we are being duped the problem is not the lack of oil but the lack of supply

oil is the mothers milk of a global economy
without it we all go back to living in caves, riding around on horse back, and hungry for lack of food without fertilizer or pest control

I could go on but I have to drive to work

There is a deeper motivation which motivates hard-core environmentalists to resist Shale Oil extraction. These fools would rather have the US population move into highly dense populated areas, live in soviet-styled housing complexes, and become dependent on government-subsidized mass transportation systems. Anyone who goes against their mind-set is considered a redneck and not worthy of being what they call “a world citizen”. Cars would be banned in their version of Utopia (puke).

Using “in-situ” extraction of Shale Oil gives this country an opportunity to significantly decrease its dependence on OPEC oil. We can create new jobs and careers to boost our sagging economy as well as increase our national security. Those that say we need to totally get off of oil NOW prefer the scenerio as described in my first paragraph. As far as the actual technology to extract Shale Oil, the process can use the natural gas it extracts to run the whole operation and to Mr. Here We Go Again, open-pit mining is no longer necessary to extract Shale Oil so there’s minimal impact on the environment.

IF WE COLLECTED ALL THE HUMAN WASTE EVERYDAY IN AMERICA, THIS WOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH ENERGY TO FUEL CARS FOR A YEAR.
IF WE COLLECTED HUMAN WASTE FROM DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS WE WOULD HAVE ENOUGH ENERGY TO FUEL CARS FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.

Some moron mentioned that we would have to strip mine. Watch the video agaon. It is called insitu or heating up the rocks. There is no strip mining. We also have 3 times the Saudis reserves in coal diesel which can be processed for $35 a barrel or less. The problem? Democrats. They would rather we go broke and send all of our money to the Saudis.

We have 100 years of ooal diesel and shale oil. Bringing plug in hybrids to the market or cars like VW’s Golf hybrid diesel that get s 70 mog means we will have this energy for 200 + years. We can go to geothermal electric too. Controlling the population growth to avoid going to 500 million is very important. Deport the 25 million illegals.

More drilling and mining must begin in the United States.

If we don’t increase production of oil, our standard of living will continue to drop.

It will take 10 to 15 years to increase oil production and about the same amount of time to switch out the SUV and vans to smaller cars.

If we don’t start to save enegy and increase of shore drilling we will end of like Mexico.
