Obama guarantees dependence on foreign oil by banning more US drilling today

[NYcarbineer]

When it comes to oil, I just can't understand why the right wing is "stuck on stupid"?

Remember BP. BP stands for "British Petroleum". That means it's a "foriegn company". America doesn't get to keep the oil found here. You can explain it and explain it and still, it's simply too complex for the right to understand. This is a capitalisitic society. We sell stuff. Keeping oil here would be "socialism".

Oil found here is put on the open market and sold to the hightest bidder. If the price falls too much, oil companies hold back until the price goes back up.

Finding oil here gets us NOTHING. Get it? Got it? Good!

How is it stuck on stupid to realize that making us dependent on foreign providers of oil is not condusive to a growth economy?

You do realize that the oil is going to be drilled there anyway. All Obama has ensured is that Americans arent the ones working on those platforms.

For someone who cares so much about jobs, you think youd stop putting people out of work. Especially at Christmas.

Are you saying that foreign oil companies are going to come into US territorial waters where we don't allow drilling and drill anyway?

 

[Revere]

Everyone is drilling more but the US.

Yeah, they probably need to be drilling, huh....

I suppose there was a Big Question Mark in Big Oils Head.

Like what am I going to do with another oil refinery, when the one's got are running at 80% and shutting the doors on others I own, selling little gas in downward market of less commuters working, and cars fuel efficiency going up 5% a year, above ground storage filled, and no where to hide oil.

You would think these capitalists would get it. They are not going to build refinerys when there no demand, and when demand can be reached with the refinerys operating at 80% they already have.

The Chinese are locking down oil leases all over the world as fast as they can.

Get used to being poor for two more years.

Obama bans offshore oil drilling in Atlantic waters - USATODAY.com

In a policy reversal, President Obama's administration announced Wednesday that it will not allow offshore oil drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico or off the Atlantic coast for at least seven more years.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that as usual you don't have a fucking clue what you are talking about.

Maybe the PROBLEM is that the oil companies cannot gaurantee safe drilling and because of that no insurance company will touch them to underwrite certain kinds of drilling that could leave them liable for disasters like the one that just happened.

But of course a moron like you thinks everything is Obamas fault. It must be comforting for you to be so blissfully ignorant of just how fucking stupid you are.

 

[Rapala]

I agree they should make sure they're safe, but put in new regs to ensure the new rigs will be. How difficult is that?

The range claim is 100 miles and top speed of 49mph. You quoted kilometers as miles. There is no front end protection so it does not appear to be very safe in a front end crash. Taking corners with any kind of speed will cause it to roll-over due to the height & 3 wheeled design. In a crash the compressed air tank in this car will explode like a huge very powerful bomb killing everyone around. It cost about $10,000. I wonder where it draws power from for lights, heat & air condition? It sure is a very basic A to B transport. It will not likely be a big hit in the USA market. 3 wheeled type vehicles were banned in the USA by the Consumer Product Safety Commission on April 28, 1988.

Soros hedge fund invests $811m to buy Petrobras stake

The Obama Administration is financing oil exploration off Brazil.

Obama & the Democrats killed bio-fuels that Bush & Republicans started.

Democrats Billionare Money Man George Soros Fined for driving Oil prices to $100

Obama administration went to court to block the Center for Biological Diversity's efforts to stop BP oil drilling before explosion

BP lobbied the Obama Whitehouse for safety regulation waivers.

Obama picked the head of the MMS who granted BP safety regulation waivers.

Actually, I've heard the amount that Obama was lending to Brazil was up to 10 billion.

Q: Did Obama loan $2 billion to Brazil’s oil company to benefit China and George Soros?

A: The president had nothing to do with the loan, which the Export-Import Bank approved for Brazil to buy U.S.-made equipment and services.

Hey, did you know Obama took a trip to Asia that cost 200 trillion billion dollars a minute?

Gawd you guys are dumb. You believe anything.

Screw your stupid lying FAKE Check site. I linked to the Wall Street Journal. Can you show me a WSJ retraction?

ummmmm, fyi- the WSJ was an OPINION piece, NOT a NEWS article....

They must have changed thier minds.

You've got to love how the libs just dismiss the fact that we pay for other countries to drill for oil, while they limit this country. We help other countries build nuclear power plants but not here, we limit all sources of energy exploration.. Natural gas and coal are others and we have plenty of it. There is no logic in the liberal mind, either they want to take this country down or they're simply clueless

Why do you care? Right wingers aren't going to build nuclear power plants. That takes scientists and engineers. Right winger's believe people were magically shimmered into being. Science and the right wing doesn't work well together. Better they spend their time with "Bible Study" and stay away from things that make you glow.

That it? thats all you got in response? the lib version of science is study of global warming and NASA outreach to the muslims respond to the points or shut the hell up idiot

What does the right wing care about "global warming"? Or science based "green energy". Come on, seriously, the right doesn't believe in science. They don't push their children into scientific fields. They get their degrees in "Bible Study".

Right wingers are no longer being allowed to spout anti science crap and then insist that the majority of scientists are right wingers. I think it's a "new" regulation.

6% of scientists are Republicans. 97% of scientists believe in evolution. Funny how both are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Belief is enough for religion, NOT enough for science. To say science is wrong, you need facts and data. Not some news story that it snowed once somewhere in October.

Shhh, don't confuse it. It would rather rely on OPINION over nonpartisan "Fact Check". Of course, "facts" are the enemies of the right wing.

Beside, I think it's off protecting a ring somewhere.

 

[rdean]

Too much government. We should end all speed laws and car regulations. Let the "market" decide.

Also, put a ten dollar limit on the amount people can sue for.

If we can keep the companies safe and strong and the top 1% rich and satisfied, then they will "trickle down" their goodness to the rest of us.

How is it stuck on stupid to realize that making us dependent on foreign providers of oil is not condusive to a growth economy?

You do realize that the oil is going to be drilled there anyway. All Obama has ensured is that Americans arent the ones working on those platforms.

For someone who cares so much about jobs, you think youd stop putting people out of work. Especially at Christmas.

Are you saying that foreign oil companies are going to come into US territorial waters where we don't allow drilling and drill anyway?

No. But they will and are drilling in waters of the U.S. where the U.S. barrs U.S. companies form drilling. So, at the end of the day, we won't drill, but we'll loan them money to drill and then buy the oil from them.

Makes perfect sense.

Where? Where are we leasing drilling rights to foreign companies but barring American companies?

The ban has been in place since 2006 so there are no jobs to disappear.
