Fox reporter get smacked by prez

[zeke]

Exxon is selling their product, like other comapnies, on the world market.

Yea? And your point is?

So they should be able to further deplete our oil reserves so they can sell more on the world market.
Yea I can see how that will really help us American consumers.

 

[whitehall]

Who else in the media is going to "get smacked down by the president" before November? The left seems to love having the administration violate sections of the Bill of Rights. Anybody on the left ever hear of the 1st Amendment?

 

[zeke]

Anybody on the left ever hear of the 1st Amendment?

Yea. You trying to make a point? Reporters ask questions. Guess they better be ready for the answer.
Or are you saying Obama had his stupid ass drug out of the room and beaten senseless? Yea that't what he did.
I saw it.

explain how he has violated the 1st amendment in this situation?


the rights answer to everything..... he violated the constitution!!!!! yes he did cause i said so.

 

[mudwhistle]

On other words help out the oil industry rather than **** with them.

Good God man, how much more help does the most profitable companies in the history of the world need. They have subsidies, tax breaks and the ability to retail price their product based on speculation in the oil industry.

And they need help? You gotta be kidding.

They don't need help to make money elsewhere.

Everyone else sells their oil on the open market. Why must we be different?

Answer: Everyone else has nationalized their's.

Far as I know we are the only country that doesn't.

WHY do they ALWAYS lie about what the prez says?

How do you figure? He was lying.

 

[mudwhistle]

Who owns the oil reserves in this country?

Well, after the land-grab during the Clinton years and the Obama term most of the oil is on Federal land. However much of the oil still being produced is from private lands. Who really owns that. You??? The people??? The government?

Well, eminent-domain can decide that issue.

The Keystone deal was turned down because Warren Buffett has freight trains to haul the oil down from Canada, if need be. 100,000 jobs flushed with a stroke of a pen.

Why did Obama make a deal with Brazil for their oil? Why is it okay to buy Libyan oil but not produce oil in the Gulf of Mexico? 20,000 more jobs lost. Thanks to Harry Reid more jobs were lost when they blew the Iraqi oil deal.

The federal government Thursday announced plans to sell off oil and gas leases on 38 million acres of the Gulf of Mexico seafloor in a new domestic energy push by the Obama administration.
The leases could yield as much as 1 billion barrels of oil and 4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, the Interior Department estimates. The scheduled sale in June will be the second since the Deepwater Horizon disaster of 2010 when nearly 5 million barrels of crude spewed into the Gulf.
President Barack Obama, who touted plans to develop more U.S. energy resources in his State of the Union address this week, announced the sale Thursday. Speaking at a UPS natural-gas refueling facility in Las Vegas, Obama said he wants to encourage the use of the cleaner-burning fuel as an alternative to gasoline or diesel.


U.S. Sale of Gulf Oil Leases Attracts 241 Bids From 20 Companies - Businessweek

The first lease sale for oil production in the Gulf of Mexico since BP Plc’s spill in 2010 attracted 241 bids from 20 companies, the Interior Department said.

im sure youll try to find someone to say this is all because of the GOP now.

 

[Oldstyle]

What the Repugs say they want to do is drill, but they can't say what else they want to do and give the left something to attack

That is very convenient. Don't want to tell the American people their good plan for energy because the left might attack them. You believe that? You don't think the plan is so good that the American people would embrace it. Don't think the Repubs could use a plan that the American people could get behind?

Really?

What Republicans want for a "plan" is simply to fully utilize our fossil fuels sources while we are developing alternative sources. What progressives like Obama and Chu want is to artificially inflate the price of those fossil fuels through governmental action in order to speed up the process (which WILL take place) of switching over from a dependency on fossil fuels to something else. As usual, they refuse to allow the free market to determine when is the best time for this switch to take place but instead wish to force it. What's disturbing is that they seek to do so even though we are decades away from being able to sustain our economy with those alternative energy sources.

im sure youll try to find someone to say this is all because of the GOP now.

It's because this Administration is scared shitless that gas prices will soar over $4 a gallon this summer and THEY will be held responsible because of the years of stonewalling drilling permits that the Department of Energy has done under the leadership of Chu and Barack Obama.

Barry will want to go into the summer looking like he cares about the cost of oil. It's too bad that the permits he's going to allow to go forward "now" won't affect oil production until years down the road. But then again...it's always about doing whatever it takes to get reelected with Obama...he'll give out some permits to make it look like he's not anti-big oil and then if he can get reelected in November, he and Chu will go right back to what they were doing before...pushing the price of gas towards their goal of $6 a gallon.

 

[American Horse]

The government makes more in gas-taxes than oil producers can make selling their gas here.

Same question. Who reports record profits and who is seriously in the hole? Exxon is an American company, reporting record profits. So much for making more elsewhere.

Those "record profits" are still on the low end of corporate earnings. The big corps that sell gasoline in the US make way more (almost infinitely more) from their specialty marketing (coffee, snacks, ice, miscellaneous merchandise and notions) than they do the gasoline. Federal and state govts really clean up there and almost no one else does. They get way more than the local station owner where the stations aren't corporate owned.

Read the fine print.

These are new leases opening for exploration. It takes at least 9 months to drill to the point you're ready to begin production. Obama is selling the leases to 20 companies (no mention what companies or country) so they should start producing by December if they bought them today. That is if some conservationist doesn't take them to court. It costs about a million to drill a well. Shell paid $4 million to drill in Anwar and after 5 years of work and filing permits the Obama Administration rejected their application.


April 2010 was when the BP oil spill happened in case you forget. A 6 month moratorium has turned into a 2 year ban. Those jobs are gone.

Energy in America: EPA Rules Force Shell to Abandon Oil Drilling Plans
By Dan Springer
Published April 25, 2011 | FoxNews.com

Shell Oil Company has announced it must scrap efforts to drill for oil this summer in the Arctic Ocean off the northern coast of Alaska. The decision comes following a ruling by the EPA’s Environmental Appeals Board to withhold critical air permits. The move has angered some in Congress and triggered a flurry of legislation aimed at stripping the EPA of its oil drilling oversight.

Shell has spent five years and nearly $4 billion dollars on plans to explore for oil in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas. The leases alone cost $2.2 billion. Shell Vice President Pete Slaiby says obtaining similar air permits for a drilling operation in the Gulf of Mexico would take about 45 days. He’s especially frustrated over the appeal board’s suggestion that the Arctic drill would somehow be hazardous for the people who live in the area. “We think the issues were really not major,” Slaiby said, “and clearly not impactful for the communities we work in.”QUOTE]

wow, did you write that with a straight face? the only reason there was a drilling moratorium in the gulf was due to the BP oil spill. once that moratorium ended and new safety regulations were in place, new permits were granted and new leases sold. how is that "years" of stonewalling? a 1 year moratorium? what about the other 65,000 SQ miles of leased space that oil companies are not drilling on?

currently gas is over $4 in both CA and HI. Obama will win both those states handily. funny enough as well, CA has a mandate that by 2020 33% of all energy produced must come from renewable sources (wind, solar, geotherm). this has spawned a new hiring and new businesses in a state that desperately need them. how did this occur, with federal and state subsidies.

so essentially you thought that the moratorium due to the BP oiil spill was bad. the new safety regulation put in place during that time were bad.

why are the oil companies drilling on the 65,000 square miles of leased space they current own the rights to right now?

thanks for quoting an article from april 2011, basically a year ago. not exactly very current. and so Shell made a bad business decision to drill in the arctic. is that the administrations fault? Shell knew the risk and cost when they bid. so now the government has to assume the risk of a private company just to make them more profitable than they already are?

so..... you agree it takes 9 months to bring oil from a new well to production..... so how exactly is drilling more right now this very second going to change gas prices? oil production is at its highest level in 8 years. the demand from china and india is helping to drive prices up. what would you like the president to do? unilaterally fix oil prices? because that would be socialist.....
