Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less.
While Pickens plan may be the long term solution. What does it do about the gas prices right now? nothing. The best solution to our current energy problems is simple.
If we drill of the gulf, drill of the coast of Florida and california. The Oil Shale in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah. If we drill in anwr.
That would drastically drive down the price of gas, and almost completely eliminate our dependance on foreign oil.
Our U.S. Oil reserves are larger than all Mid-east oil countries combined.
Why are we not harnessing this?
Because the Liberal Enviormentalist movement wants to manufacture a shortage in order to keep our evergrowing unimportant carbon footprint from growing larger.
Im gonna say it right now.
Global warming is a lie.
unbiased research shows that it simply is not true.
Newt Gingrich and his organization known as American Solutions has more viable, logical, and practical plans to bring oil prices down and eliminate our dependance of foreign oil.
Im not against wind energy, its just not the best solution we have available.

Well you make a very good point there Tatum.
Global Warming is a lie. I know that. Its so stupid to me. The world has been going through this cycle since the begining of time, but T. Boone Pickens olny thinks that this is a minor fraction of the solution.
I think that the only reason that people dont want to start drilling is becasue they want to use everyone elses resources before they go to ours. I think that they want our resources to be the last resort; the only oil left in the world. I could be wrong. I do agree with you though we need to start harnessing SOME of OUR resource.
This is going to take time.
You were right.

Here is more insight into the issues we face short and long term with energy. Alternative energy sources are not realistic alternatives by themselves. It's just not possible. It has to be a concerted energy plan that takes into account our chief source of energy, which is far from being utilized.

America has enough Green, Oil, and Natural Gas resources to make OPEC look like a Mom-and-Pop operation. . A Rand Corp. study says the Green River Formation, which covers parts of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, has the largest known oil shale deposits in the world.
"The United States has 2 trillion barrels of oil shale," according to the Institute for Energy Research. "This is more than seven times the amount of crude oil reserves found in Saudi Arabia and is enough to meet current U.S. demand for over 250 years."
Consider that the entire world has used around 1 trillion barrels since oil was discovered in Titusville, Pa., in 1859.
"If full-scale production begins within five years," reckons Nick Loris of the Heritage Foundation, "the U.S. could completely end its dependence on OPEC by 2020." There's enough North American petroleum trapped in oil sands and shale rock to form our own OPEC.
A report from the Energy Department's Argonne National Laboratory states that "even a moderate estimate of 800 billion barrels of recoverable oil from oil shale in the Green River Formation is three times greater than the proven oil reserves of Saudi Arabia."

You should rethink your global warming opinion. The planet is changing for what ever reason. Marx's communism was a political philosophy that was never tried. Those communist countries picked and chose what they wanted from his treatise, thus different forms of communism emerged. But so what. Pickens is on the right track with natural gas and wind power. Leave the oil in the ground like the gold in fort knox use to be. Call it an ace in the h***. Try to think in a futuristic way for a change. And not everyone in this country is a gulable as you think they are when it comes to politics or foreign affairs. Some of us do read and are capable of deep thought. Some of us are aware of Neo-con death cult.

You say that global warming is a lie? That's odd. For leading scientific organizations such as NASA, NAS, and AAAS have all issued strong warnings about global warming.
How is it that you are so certain that mainstream science is wrong? Let me guess. Is it because you heard this from right-wing pundits, and you trust the right-wing pundits more than you trust the rigorous process of mainstream science? If that is not your reason, what is your reason for rejecting the conclusion of mainstream science?

Using less fossil fuels is just the right thing to do, whether you believe in global warming or not. I urge people not to get caught up in a circular debate and lose sight of that fact. There are SO many good reasons to use our resources wisely, that any other benefits are a wonderful bonus.
I am not trying to diminish the global warming debate, but that should not be the main factor. It is another factor that is becoming more important over time, but we should all know all the reasons for using less fossil fuels by now. If not, we have not been paying very close attention.

thank you for your closed minded "trust the science" remarks, do you think that the people who decided to issue strong warnings from the organizations you listed are actually issued by scientists? of course not. Their administration and public relations reps decide, and of course they can't look behind the times. i'm attempting to enclose a video that will help your left-wing brain understand.
also i should clarify, the fact that the temperature has been going ups not a lie. the thought that it is man-made or caused by man is. i urge you to look at unbiased documents of earths climate change that will show that the earths temperature is always changing.

Thanks for the video. I just read a book called "State of Fear", by Micheal Crichton. There are many similar statements and studies in his fictional book. However, he does include footnotes and a bibliography of his sources. There's also an interesting analysis of how the media is able to perpetuate itself by using fear to gain the public's interest. Of course, there are many folks who have already made up their minds up about the global warming issue who will claim that the video is a pack of lies.
Personally, I believe that putting emissions into the atmosphere that we breathe cannot be a good thing. Witness those who commit suicide by running their cars in their garage with a hose hooked up to the exhaust. Cutting back on these emissions can't hurt. In the meantime, our economy has to function and people have to provide for their families. Transportation cannot just be stopped because we have to rely on gasoline. I don't see a practicaly alternative other than to drill where we can and keep that oil in our country. I simply cannot believe that it will take 10 years for results either. That's just too incredible to believe. Looking to the future, our backs are against the wall though. For our own survival, we have to become energy independent. I live in an area where there are many forest fires going right now. At times the smoke has been so thick that we can't even see more than 3 houses down the street. Lot's of people are having breathing problems due to this. There's nothing we can do except wait until the fires are out. In other words, we just have to suck it up until things get better. That's what we have to do as a nation until we can get past this oil crisis. More drilling is the best we can do right now even though it's not the ideal solution--it's what we have that's currently available. Suck it up!

Ten years and who is to say a lower price when we finally get it. Wall St. can up the price whenever they want. Oil companies don't have to pay taxes on their profits. In my small business I paid full taxes and had no subsidies to help me enlarge or improve aspects of my business. Big Business is different from small business. Small businesses are midddle class and aren't eligable for Big Business benefits. Lets stop more drilling and get started on Mr. Pickens' natural gas and wind power ideas. Lets try everything to get off out dependence on oil. Big Oil needs a Little Competition. Not everyone is rich enough to "suck it up". Wall St. needs to be regulated regarding the price of energy....Wall St. doesn't care about people struggling. People are filling their pockets including the Banks believe it or not.

So, I am half way through your YouTube video and there is nothing there but a lot of people denying that global warming exists, but so far there have been no efforts made to show why it isn't true. A bunch of people giving conspiracy theories and yelling "Lies" doesn't cut it. Basically is says"It's lies, and people I don't like are claiming it". You just shot your integrity. And I can't take you seriously anymore.
