The price of gas when Obama took office

February 24th, 2012 | No Comments

Liberals are rather aghast that some people assert Obama’s policies have driven the price of gas in this country through the roof.  Now that gas is nearing $4.00 a gallon, it’s become an issue to be debated seriously.  And, it is: who is at fault for these gas prices?

The politics of the energy crisis

July 5th, 2008 | 2 Comments

The jam we’re in right now was put in place thirty years ago.  In that time, we’ve gone from being an energy exporter to an energy junkie.  It really doesn’t matter where we get our hit, so long as we don’t have to accept any responsibility for it.  For instance: Oil – The Democrats absolutely [...]

Stuck on Stupid: Nancy Pelosi

June 19th, 2008 | No Comments

And by stuck, I do mean stuck.  Nancy Pelosi has agreed to take into consideration four bills aimed at energy relief next week.  One item she absolutely will not even debate or discuss is offshore drilling.  Her logic?  Get this: Pelosi reiterated her position that Republican calls for more offshore drilling represent another chapter in [...]

Saudi Arabia increasing production

June 15th, 2008 | No Comments

Saudi Arabia has announced it’s increasing production by 200,000 barrels a day.  There are some thoughts I have about the article. “Saudi Arabia is concerned that sustained high oil prices will eventually slacken the world’s appetite for oil, affecting the kingdom in the long run.”  I wonder what gave them that idea?  Could it have [...]

Hillary’s foreign oil strategy?

This folks, is nuts: “We’re going to go right at OPEC,” Clinton said, on a last-minute campaign swing ahead of Tuesday’s Indiana and North Carolina primary clashes against her Democratic rival Barack Obama. “They can no longer be a cartel, a monopoly that get together once every couple of months in some conference room in [...]

The Price of Gas in China

August 18th, 2005 | 1 Comment

Yesterday I mentioned China in regards to my comments on Senator Stabenow’s bill to tap the SPR.  Specifically the fact that China is now trying to fill their SPR as well.  Today I find this article at Gateway Pundit: The Chinese government has sent thousands of police to petrol stations in the southern city of [...]

Hubbert’s Peak

August 20th, 2004 | No Comments

I get a lot of my topics from discussions on The Motley Fool. There are a handful of posters that look at the “big picture” as I try to do as well. Kentm is one of those. We have had a lot of discussions on oil supply with a lot of speculative scenarios. He’s more [...]
