Need to open more oil sources: It’s EXACTLY why we cannot afford to put Brad Hutto in the US senate. Graham is GREAT on this issue.

Americans are suffering under Horrible Energy costs because of Obama…

I’m a couple steps ahead of you FITS…AGAIN!!!

A vote for Ravenel is a vote for Obama, and more expensive gas…Not NO…but H#!! NO!!!!!

Great explanation: http://scdigest.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-vote-for-ravenel-is-vote-for-obama.html

It’s a slippery slope and once started its only a matter of justification before more are cut out. Mr. Folks does a great job of letting people insult him and each other and I would really hate to see that altered at all. The real answer is quite simple, just ignore him/her/it. Him/her/it might not go away but its like the advertisements on this web site, you won’t notice him/her/it after a while.

“Peak Oil” — Just another phony-baloney, pseudo-scientific farce promoted by an industry bent on keeping the cost of their product artificially inflated. Imagine the geopolitical ramifications if it were common knowledge that the earth continually produces oil, and it has absolutely nothing to do with prehistoric plants or animals.

The abiotic oil theory is horseshit that the Soviets entertained briefly and nobody else takes very seriously at all. I fail to see how oil could naturally form beyond the rate of global consumption anyways.

Yeah.. Sasquatch… heh.

Heisenberg and Schrödinger are traveling in a car and pulled over by a cop. The officer asks, “Do you know how fast you were going?” Heisenberg replies “No, but I know where I am.” This arouses the officer’s suspicion, so he asks to check the trunk. He looks inside and asks “Are you aware there is a dead cat in your trunk?”, to which Schrödinger replies “I do now.”

The 13C/12C ratio for all petroleum on earth is similar to organic matter. On Titan the methane’s ratio looks like earth’s inorganic carbon. Thus NO evidence for outgassed cosmic methane from inside earth somehow forming petroleum.

The Amazon and Arctic Circle, including massive square mile tracts off South Africa leading to the Antarctic Circle is not counted. Not to mention abiotic oil, we begin to see a real global strategy to power based on the artificial “shortage” of oil and gas. On one side is the BRICS atheist satanists, the other side occupied by Osiris satanists. Everyone else is part of their problem to control the planet and expendable. See Carroll Quigley.

Truth be told, the US has discovered a massive 200 years of oil supply in Alaska’s North Slope. TPTB are not touching it until they play out the Arab Petro Dollar Card?

Those massive natural gas reserves off the Carolina coasts? They are now declared undrillable as, *poof*, the reserves now sit under critical Loggerhead Turtle habitat.

South Africa grew by 1.3 million square miles. This unprecedented land grab was not for a Loggerhead habitat. There is oil there.

All told, we are all being held by the nose and kicked in the ass by US oil concerns regarding our energy dependence.

An oil company pretending peak oil don’t real, only feels?

By saying peak oil doesn’t exist, they are effectively promoting (1) oil consumption to continue at the same rate so their profits continue to soar, (2) forgoing regulations to decrease consumption of fossil fuels and/or decrease CO2 emissions, and (3) to placate worried shareholders. They literally have a vested interest in denying that peak oil exists, just like they have a vested interest in funding scientists who deny global warming.

BP sells their petroleum with a free bottle of snake oil, what a surprise!

I remember the alarmists saying in the early 70s that we would be out of oil by now.

I try not to get too concerned by he alarmists, they are trying to set back our standard of living for no good reason than they believe they know better what is good for me than I do.
