I know there are many many many people at work in the Bakken Fields. Some may remember last year when there was a thread here about the acute shortage of housing in western ND. I don't see it getting better anytime soon. They are swarming like flies out there. Interestingly enough, I found out my father bought a share in an oil lease just after leaving the Army-Air Force in '46 or so, and while it is to the west of the assumed Bakken, either I am on food stamps or I am going to chime in voting to take milk away from babies.

Thats bull. There is a lot of oil thats relatively easy to get to if the radical environmentalists (like Obama) would just let us get to it, but starving the worlds poor by forcing people to rely on converting crops to ethanol seems to be their top priority. That college paper is a joke, by the way - but Im sure youre fully aware that its totally rigged. Why is anyone supposed to believe a couple of college kids who obviously have an agenda? For example, why wasnt even one thing favorable to the oil and gas industry mentioned - such as all the good that is done with the grant money that the industry donates towards environmental causes. quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen No thanks, you weren't helpful All the easy to get oil has been pumped or is being pumped. At this point "drill here, there, and everywhere" means drilling for the hard to get oil in environmentally sensitive areas. And we need only look at present drilling technology to know that anydrilling will cause damage to the local environment and the more difficult the oil is to get the more damage will be done. Look at what the relatively easy to get oil has done to the Mississippi River delta. http://www.lsu.edu/cei/research_projects/Wetlands_final.pdf

You can shit on all the other threads you want, but this is mine. You can either answer my question or you can mosey along.

Bullshit. There is no more easy to get oil. Why would anyone drill under a mile of water for an oil field another 13,000 feet down if there was easier oil to get? quote: That college paper is a joke, by the way - but Im sure youre fully aware that its totally rigged.

Because all the impact of energy development in the Delta has been negative? As to college kids: Jae-Young Ko Assistant Professor, Dept. of Marine Sciences Texas A&M University at Galveston John W.

The sportfishing and commercial fishery industry out there isn't going to need the heads up, they know that already.

Either way, it was a political move. You know, the sort of thing politicians do best, which is give the economy another short term sugar rush as opposed to what it really needs, immediate and long term access to all kinds of plentiful and affordable energy. And the excuses of the other three Presidents who did the same thing before Obama? Clinton After displaying an initial reluctance, President Clinton approved the release Friday of 30 million barrels of oil over the next 30 days from the country's Strategic Petroleum Reserve in an attempt to rein in runaway oil prices. http://www.thestreet.com/story/1094350/clinton-releases-some-oil-reserves.html Bush 1 On January 16, 1991, the President announced he would sell 34 million barrels from the Reserve to QUOTE “minimize world oil market disruptions.” That day oil sold for $32 per barrel. The next day, the price dropped by one-third to $21 per barrel. Oil remained in the $20 per barrel range during and after the war. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43508263/ns/business-oil_and_energy/ Bush 2 http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Bush_authorizes_oil_release_from_Strategic_Petroleum_Reserve Seems a pretty bipartisan move.

There were much more severe disruptions of supply in each of those instances. As little as 600 thousand barrels a day have been lost due to Libya. Prices were already coming down. 100% political move.

This president makes a mockery of the process by impeding the flow of fossil fuels with the one hand while pretending to open the spigot with the other He is an absolute hypocrite, if he really wanted to bring energy prices down he would do far more than just release a little il from the strategic reserve quote: ORIGINAL: willbeurdaddy There were much more severe disruptions of supply in each of those instances.

Let me see if I have this straight...this President does something...and let's face it the something can be anything....and Sanity finds it a)hypocritical....b) political(this charge is shocking seeing that he is a ....gasp,politician) and c)disastrous(subset...not enough).Does that about cover the situation ? Color me shocked,amazed and aghast at the reprehensible behavior of this President....or is it sanity that I am shocked,amazed and feeling all reprehensible about ? I'm so confused [:)]

You may be looking at their normal net exports, which are around 1.2 million, but some of that is still getting out.

The number is 1.5
