So drilling on Federal/offshore NOT happening..so Obama releasing Strategic Oil!!

[healthmyths]

How stupid does Obama really think people are???

He and supporters make fun of DRill baby drill supporters!
YET what is he doing???
Obama discussed a release of oil from the U.S. strategic reserve during a meeting in Washington yesterday with U.S. Prime Minister David Cameron, a U.K. official with knowledge of the talks said.

So which is it???

And the MSM??? WHY don't they ask Obama when Obama BRAGS..

SO IDIOT OBAMA supporters and OBAMA!!!

IF you said it was going to take 10 years.."We Will Not See A Drop Of Oil From Any Offshore Rigs For At Least Ten Years. "...
WHY IS HE TAKING CREDIT for highest in 7 years?????

THIS IS for you Independents and not the Obamatrons!!!

THINK about it! All the above Dems and Obama negating drill baby drill..laughing..
"takes 10 years" statements...
SO WHY are they taking credit for "highest level in 7 years"????

THAT's BECAUSE it was all DONE by Bush when he did the following WHICH Obama has NOW SHUT DOWN!!!!

In 2008, former President George W. Bush lifted his father's ban on drilling. And in the same year, amid high gas prices and election pressures, Democratic leaders allowed the nearly 30-year-old ban on drilling to lapse.

Shortly before Bush left office, the Minerals Management Service of the Department of Interior issued a new five-year leasing plan that proposed opening up areas in the Pacific, Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico to new drilling. Also included in the proposal were Bristol Bay as well as the Chuckchi and Beaufort Seas.

oil production levels and drilling capacity are different things. simply drilling more oil will not lower the price if you do not increase production as well. if the refineries can not increase the amount of oil that they refine into gas and other products, it will not matter how much oil is delivered to the plants.

so they are in essence right, simply drilling more wells will not increase supply unless you increase production.

if you want to truly lower gas prices, then you need to decrease global demand for that commodity. thus you need to look at alternatives to gas. unfortunately, people must be willing to accept those alternatives whether it is hybrids, electric cars, hydrogen cars, fuel cells or some new unknown technology.

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

A very astute question.

What does releasing oil from the strategic oil reserve accomplish that allowing NEW permitting for oil wells, opening up anwar, and bringing in the keystone pipeline does not accomplish.

On top of that increasing our overall production would be a LONG term supply side solution, unlike this short term solution of releasing reserves (which we have to replace at a high price).


In the end what we truly need is more refineries, no matter how much oil we can produce our gasoline price is still hinged on supply and demand...without new refineries the supply will not go up.



I truly think the Obama admin is intentionally doing things to raise the price of fuel...why?

Its not like obama didn't tell us he would do this

 

[Syphon]

actually it does one very different and important thing and that his it bring the actual oil to market faster. being that from the time you begin drilling a well to the time it reaches the market is approximately 3-10 years, the time to refine oil into gas is roughly 3 months. so technically by releasing oil from the reserve, gas can find its way to market much more quickly.

the problem is that americans consume approx 20M barrels of oil per day, so any real release from the reserve will have little affect on prices.

Obama could have signed keystone, allowed permitting for NEW refineries (which have been blocked), given NEW drilling contracts instead of taking credit for contracts signed under bush, he could push for opening up anwar.
