He is for poor people getting on public transportation instead. Why do poor people need cars anyway?

I don't want to spoil your fun with facts but Obama has made more land available for oil drilling that was previously off limits than has any other US president in history..

That would be more helpful if it was land where anyone wanted to drill for oil.

Most of it isn't.

Incorrect.

See expansion of Bakken fields, and the tentative new approval just a few days ago for Shell drilling off the coast of Alaska, despite environmental group opposition.

Entire towns are being erected for new drilling.

How about that hopey changey thing working out for you? You like the $4 a gallon gasoline? Thank Obama


One of the first actions the Obama team took when it assumed office in was to direct Secretary of the Interior Salazar to cancel 77 shale oil and gas leases in Utah. The next year they canceled 61 onshore leases in Montana. TheGreen River shale formation in Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado, has an estimated 800 billion barrels of oil, which is three times the proven reserves of Saudi Arabia




Peaked with Jimmy Cater as as he shut production down it’s been going down ever since. So isn’t the real question why does the USA give hundreds of billions of dollars to Saudi Arabia each year?

I said "most of it isn't."

I was already aware that there are a few new spots that are being used. Ineenia made the point that Obama had opened up more land than any other President in history. Obama did that specifically because he knew people were too ignorant to realize that most locations with oil can't be profitably worked at present. He gets to claim credit for opening up lots of new land while still blocking most of the places the oil companies want to drill.

Refineries increase their capacities all the time. If oil companies got permits to build new refineries there would not be an explosion of new building like some people expect.

Total refinery capacity is already in the sweet spot from a business perspective.

Unless you want publicly owned refineries, I'm not sure what else you can hope for.

pretending that estimated reserves and proven recoverable reserves are the same thing is pretty dumb.

Green river needs a ton of water and power for the extraction process. There are currently no viable options to bring water and power into the area on the scale needed.

You might as well be championing the mineral reserves on the moon at this point.

Getting power to an oil field is rarely a problem. Reason should be obvious.

Conservatives live in a bubble sealed off from reality it seems.


Factcheck.org posted:
U.S. Oil Production: Up or Down?

While Republicans have criticized Obama’s energy policies, the president has touted — as he did in a March 11 press conference — that oil production rose last year.

Obama, March 11: Last year, American oil production reached its highest level since 2003. Let me repeat that. Our oil production reached its highest level in seven years. Oil production from federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico reached an all-time high.

Obama is right on both counts. EIA data (table 4a) shows that total domestic production of crude oil was 5.51 million barrels per day, including 1.64 million barrels per day from the Gulf of Mexico. Historical EIA data shows that the last time the U.S. produced that much total oil was in 2003, when it generated 5.68 million barrels per day. (We already addressed that 2010 was indeed a record year for the Gulf.)

So you want Obama to nationalize and force them to drill? Permits are there, what more do you want him to do?

Taking credit? I'm just stating facts. Perhaps you should have blamed Bush for not getting the permits going?


Or you accept reality and blame the actual companies for not drilling, instead of blaming Government for doing it's job...
