It seems to me this is just another Reagen-o-mic sligt of hand. Remember the Second Energy Crisis in 1979? Nixon and Ford paved the way for OPEC formation by trying to dictate prices, sort of the way Walmart is doing today, and caused the First Energy Crisis just in time for Jimmy Carter.Then, when the Shah of Iran was over-throw, got cancer and fled to the United States, the Iatola cut off the oil. Reagan, I do believe, through his Oil Cronies, bargained to have the Hostages held until after the Carter/Reagan election. In 1980, after Ronnie got into office, Iraq invaded Iran. Nice. Huh? Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick ... Which was Sadam. The oil crisis disappeared and prices lowered over the next 6 years and dropped to a 46 percent low in 1986,
causing an oil glut, but just in time for George HW Bush to run as Ronnie's hand-picked Clone. "Read My Lips! No New Taxes!" Europe and the US were then taking more oil from the North Sea and Purdue Bay and OPEC was over-producing, because they were told to. Nice! Hey? Then, here comes the 1990 oil crisis, the Oil Barons did not have the clout they had in earlier years, and Clinton got elected ... it only lasted 6 months because of George's Gulf War resentments. Last year Oil prices began to soar, getting up to over $4 per gallon, now, I believe there is pressure from Georgie's and Cheney's bin Laden buddies to drive down prices until after November 2nd. After all T-bone is trying to push Carbon Natural Gas, and is even trying to get people to invest in gasoline from water schemes; there's a move to really find alternative en

Some of us have been watching energy plans
ever since Mother Earth News ran articles
to peek our interests. There is no excuse
for our nation to be using oil or natural gas
except to keep the cash flowing into the hands
of slick politicians and oil barons who are
determined to tap every cent they can before
giving way to free renewable energy.

Nothing happened to it; it's still on the agenda...Obama's plan - tire pressure? Give tax credits to hybrid owners? Where are those credits going to come from? Your own pocket!

C'mon shadows, I expect more from you...

What happened is while legislation passed to allow for it, the area where the actual reserves are REMAINS RESTRICTED!! Meanwhile China and Russian supported rigs are slant drilling right into it and they could care less about the location of the leases. Also not reported was Harry Reid sneaking under the wire a ban on midwestern exploration of shale oil.

Iran and Russia are crippled right now with prices going down, and have started to drum up international incidents like false reports of forced down military aircraft or Russian naval operations in the Gulf of Mexico in order to set a panic run rise.

CynPro... of course that oil based computer and keyboard are just fine with you I guess... Mother Earth? When I see them fly their solar powered plane or wind powered boat over to China and India and protest the REAL PLANET KILLERS then come back here and rant. Saving the planet at America's expense is quite the coward's debate!

Global Warming is such a false issue, and the pundants know it.

Me, too, shadow. But, since I've already voted absentee, it did not change MY or all my old geezer friends' minds. Obama held his own; McCain tried, but I believe the "That One!" remark is going to haunt him and Sarah. Georgie just may start a War on another front, just to help McCain/Palin.

Sure, davidpartrick344, Drill where the contracts have already been let. When you buy land, you do not have the rights to anything under it, today. The Robber Barons and Government stole those rights years ago. Find a veign of gold deep under your land, you can't keep it, or at least, in Okaloosa County, Florida in 1968, that was true. I would, personally, wish to revive Cold Fusion Research. I have been trying to BUY the equipment, but it is not available anywhere. It's a chemical process, and the Energy Consortium, Vested interests in Particle Physics Research-a multi-billion dollar business, and OUR Government discredited in the 1990s. Take one watt of input and get 100 watts, or more (heat), output. Use it to run generators, generate hydrogen for fuel cells, run our cars, purify water, and on and on ...
Link several of these cells together and everyone would be Energy Independent all over the World. Every legitimate (not Politically affiliated) who recreated the process, which may take up to 6 weeks heat up, achieved results. Our Government Department of Energy gave only TWO weeks to show results, then campaigned to crush further research. To much Corporate Infra-structure and Profits would be lost. Let's invest in all those other Exotic, Sci-Fi Sounding Energy Processes. There's already a LASER FORCE FIELD, that could be used for personal, home, neighborhood, boarder protection that Uncle Sam has been hiding for over 10 years. That would stop any illegal immigrants crossing our boarder and manufacturing them would create jobs. IMHO Thank You For Your Indulgence
