Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

	obama controls the federal land, oil drilling production down 70% , gulf of mexico down 30% 14 percent increase for oil production on private and state lands, but good old old obama taking credit for the increase in US gas supply it take 5+ years to get production going ... so now what did obama do again -----signature----- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSiRUSjSJnQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWS-FoXbjVI

Water wet etc. http://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Fossil-Fuel-Production-on-Federal-Lands1.png Crude oil production on Federal and Indian lands decreased 13 percent from 739 million barrels in fiscal year 2010 to 646 million barrels in fiscal year 2011. Production of crude oil on Federal lands is dominated by offshore production, which fell by 17 percent in fiscal year 2011, mostly notably due to government actions taken following the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. These actions include a moratorium on offshore drilling by the Obama Administration, followed by a permit moratorium. Only recently has the Obama Administration leased any federal land offshore to oil and gas drilling Natural gas production on Federal and Indian lands decreased every year since fiscal year 2003, the earliest fiscal year EIA reported data. In fiscal year 2011, natural gas production on federal and Indian lands was 4,859 billion cubic feet, 10 percent less than in fiscal year 2010, and 31 percent less than in fiscal year 2003. Offshore natural gas production volumes have been on a consistent downward trend for the last 9 years, and are 63 percent less in fiscal year 2011 than in fiscal year 2003. Natural gas plant liquids production on Federal and Indian lands peaked in fiscal year 2010 at 115 million barrels and declined to 111 million barrels in fiscal 2011, down 3 percent. Coal production on Federal and Indian lands peaked at 509 million short tons in fiscal year 2008 and decreased each year since then. In fiscal year 2011, coal production on Federal and Indian lands was 470 million short tons, down 2 percent from fiscal year 2010 production and 8 percent from the peak in fiscal 2008. Conclusion The big picture is clear that government policies undertaken by the Obama Administration have produced a significant decline in offshore oil production on federal lands in fiscal year 2011. That is certainly not a way to increase domestic production of oil and keep oil and thus gasoline prices in check http://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/2012/03/15/fossil-fuel-production-on-federal-lands-at-9-year-low/ See alsoâ€“The Myth that the U.S. Only Has 2% of the Worldâ€™s Oil http://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/2012/03/13/exposing-the-2-percent-oil-reserves-myth/ Proven oil reserves are not all of our oil resourcesâ€”not even close. In fact, proved reserves represent a tiny portion of our total oil resources. Proven (or proved) oil reserves are reserves that have already been discovered, typically through actual exploration or drilling, and which can be recovered economically. That estimate does not include oil that we know about, yet are unable to access because of regulatory barriers. For example, the billions of barrels of oil in ANWR are not included in our proved oil reserves. So letâ€™s look at the facts. Currently, the United States has 1,442 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil, but only about 20 billion barrels are considered proven oil reserves.[ii] That is partly because the federal government is denying access to hundreds of millions of acres oil-rich federal lands: the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge, the Naval Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, federal waters off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, at least 45 percent of the Gulf of Mexico, the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, and oil shale on federal lands in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, to name a few. In the case of oil shale (an oil composed of kerogen), technology needs to be perfected to make its production viable, but this will not happen until the land is leased. Regrettably, the Department of Interior has stopped a leasing program Congress directed it to undertake. Proved Oil Reserves Are Not Static Letâ€™s take a look at history. In 1944, U.S. proven oil reserves were 20 billion barrels â€” about the same as they are today. Yet, between 1945 and 2010, the United States produced 167 billion barrels of oil. In other words, the United States produced over 8 times more oil than the amount of proven oil reserves it had in 1944. How can that be? The answer is that proven oil reserves are not stagnant because people keep looking for oil. Proven oil reserves keep changing, are officially recorded every year, tallied country by country, and published in the Oil and Gas Journal, among other publications. And due to U.S. entrepreneurship and ingenuity, more reserves are found and proven each year. Conclusion Proven oil reserves are not stagnant. They are continually changing as companies explore, find and produce oil. Declaring that â€œthe U.S. has only 2% of the worldâ€™s oil is akin to saying that the only gasoline we will have is that which is in our tanks.â€ The president should know better, and if he does not, his Secretaries of Energy and Interior should tell him. So, what can be done to increase our oil reserves? First and foremost, the United States needs to open more federal lands and waters to oil leases. Currently, only about 3 percent of government property is leased for finding energy. Once that is done, American ingenuity will take over to explore and produce those resources. â€According to a Gallup poll, an overwhelming number of consumers â€” 85% â€” say Obama and Congress should take â€œimmediateâ€ action to keep a lid on (gasoline) prices.â€[v] It is time our government stops misleading the American public and starts owning up to the reality of our energy situation â€“ we are a nation rich in energy resources with poor policies that do not allow us to access them. Conclusion you and obama are liers !! -----signature----- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSiRUSjSJnQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWS-FoXbjVI
