If oil's running out...

[Moonglow]

In 6 years the US will surpass the ME in oil/natural gas production.

Yeah, Obama really keeboshed that industry in the last 5 years, didn't he?

Public lands.....yes. He had no jurisdiction on private leases.

There should be no need to drill on public lands since the amount of oil produced on private lands are producing so well. Was it wrong to start the Strategic Oil reserves also, or should we sell it all off also?

 

[railroaddave197]

according to the Oil and Gas Journal , every barrel of alaskan oil is EXPORTED to asia . we are being lied to .

 

[Delta4Embassy]

Relax. Oil is NOT running out - it is one of the big leftard lies in their war on fossil fuels.

Any report on a shortage of oil would benefit the oil companies.

Oil industry statistics themselves say about 40 years left of oil, 160 for natural gas, centuries for coal.

source:
Worldometers - real time world statistics

Assumption:

* If consumed at current rates

Sources and info:

* World Proved Reserves of Oil and Natural Gas, Most Recent Estimates - Energy Information Administration (EIA) - Data from BP Statistical Review, Oil & Gas Journal, World Oil, BP Statistical Review, CEDIGAZ, and Oil & Gas Journal."

The oil production is on private lands and it's booming. However, the oil production on Fed lands is nearing zero. They aren't opening up off-shore deep seas, which are diamonds mines. If they allowed Fed lands to open up we would be a net oil exporter!

If global supplies of oil are running out that we need to drill for new reserves in Anwar, and invade oil-rich countries to steal their's, and such, why are vehicles in the US still being made that can greatly exceed the maximum speed limit anywhere in the US? If we made vehicles only capable of reaching say 75mph, the reduced engine size and power would surely save quite a bit of fuel. Instead of raising MPG standards, just cap engine performance. Would help law enforcement out in addition. Law enforcement and emergency vehicles could get exemptions obviously. And vehicles made for racing. But just as California's smog requirements result in vehicles for California, vs those for other states came to be, why not vehicles which can't exceed the highest speed limit anywhere in the country? If it saves fuel, helps law enforcement, reduces emissions, etc. why not do it.

Earth to stupid, it ANWR not ANWAR. The reason for holding back for ANWR are as retarded at you

See the pic. You see that tiney orange dot? That is all ANWR is! Again the reason for no drilling is as retarded as you.

Second, where is god's name to do you get we STEAL oil from countries we invade? First, we LIBERATED Kuwait (something we should not have done, **** the muslims let them kill each other) and we BARELY get any oil from them. They should have given us a sweet deal from stopping Iraq from committing genocide against them. No one else would have stopped them. Second, we get ZERO oil from Iraq. Again we knocked out Sadam and put in a worst less friendly government. What country in the M.E. gives us oil? Saudi Arabia! When did we invade them? We don't control their oil to any degree and we pay and PRETTY PENNY for their oil.

What african country do we get oil from? Nigeria! When did we invade them? Again we don't control their oil!

50% of our oil comes from domestic production. The majority of the rest comes from mostly Canada and Mexico, then after that Venezuela and then SA.

Get your facts right you stupid ****!

'cuz that would put socialism in cars

Better a little socialism now than totalitarianism later when the oil shortage becomes more pronounced. Weaken engines and we can extend how long we can drive cars at all. Ignore the problem until there's gas lines again (I was around for those) and solutions will be much more draconian.

First off fucko socialism ALWAYS by definition leads to large government and high government controls. See any very socialist government, USSR (communist socialist), Cambodia, NK, Cuba, Venezuela, NAZI Germany etc and you see the socialist big government becoming totalitarian.

Conservatives by their definition desire less government to AVOID the totaliterian government associated with Big Government that socialism creates.

Third, cars are NATURALLY becoming more fuel efficient. Yep their are race cars, but most people don't use them as their every day car. Cars are becoming much much more efficent.

Lastly, just like every liberal myth, peak oil is ways off. I remember getting very nervous in early 90s in Jr High when my teacher total us peak oil was going to high in 1996 and it could end out civilization. Then it didn't come. Fast forward to today and large oil reserves are being discovered DAILY all over the world. Here in the States. Off-shore, deep sea, in Russia, in Canada, in brazil, In Israel, etc. Oil is poping up everywhere.

I am not in denial that peak oil won't occur, but I believe it won't happen in even our children's lifetime!

Conservatives by definition are ancient fossils that don't recognize the future, avoid progress, and cling to bigotry and ancestral hatred.

They also know very, very little about living in a populated modern society.

BTW, good luck building a strong, secure nation with a dynamic economy by using your "small government" approach.

The World's Happiest Countries - Forbes

"They are all borderline socialist states, with generous welfare benefits and lots of redistribution of wealth. Yet they don’t let that socialism cross the line into autocracy. Civil liberties are abundant (consider decriminalized drugs and prostitution in the Netherlands). There are few restrictions on the flow of capital or of labor. Legatum’s scholars point out that Denmark, for example, has little job protection, but generous unemployment benefits. So business owners can keep the right number of workers, while workers can have a safety net while they muck around looking for that fulfilling job."

We don't and we never have.
This country wastes more petroleum than most countries use. The fight over Anwar is a political argument. It's not about the need but rather about winning a political battle.

Why not limit how much food you can eat. That would limit emissions too...
Little socialism now is more socialism later, or communism. And that is totalitarianism.

Yes, there is an infinite supply of oil, so use it as fast as you can. Don't worry about the future--that is for uppity elitist Liberals. Them and their stupid educated ways.

The fact is economies of most successful nations are strongly rooted in capitalism and socialism. Communist is socialism taken to the extreme and it just doesn't work. Capitalism taking to the extreme as was the case in a number African countries, was also a failure. The right mix of socialism and capitalism is the unstated goal of most nations and it will forever be a source of contention.

He tried, but he failed. All the increased production is coming from private land over which he has no control.

 

[Redfish]

We are not running out of oil any time soon. In the 1970's the "experts" said that all of the world's oil would be gone by the year 2000.

The same experts said that the arctic would be ice free last summer.

The same experts in the 1960's predicted an ice age by 2000.

The point? The "experts" are always wrong. Probably because their real agenda has nothing to do with the truth.
