Why are Conservatives still hollering 'Drill baby, drill'; When there is world glut of oil and US fuel reserves?

To fuel 53 million cars for a full year?Why are Conservatives still hollering 'Drill baby, drill'; When there is world glut of oil and US fuel reserves?

Because we find it much more appealing to utilize our own oil than to buy it from terrorists. Because when we are facing the worst financial crisis in decades, it isn't time to try to subsidize ';green'; energy that wouldn't need a subsidy if it was feasible. Why are we sitting on one of the largest proven oil reserves in the world. They are called the Bakken fields, or Bakken formation. Look it up if you don't like my resources. And if you want to listen to liberal arguments that say we can't get to it, or it isn't feasible, they are wrong. I work in the oil industry, and every day I see opportunity squashed. Think of the jobs we could create, while lowering energy costs and creating revenue? I'm all for ';clean energy';, but not until we can make it work. I'm going to post a link in the sources. Before you dismiss is as propaganda, please note that this is a U.S. Geological Survey report. The lack of drilling in this country is not only stifling our economy, but propping up the economy of people who seek our destruction. The sad part about all of this is that we are doing it out of purely environmental motivation, based on ';Global Warming'; research which is controversial at best.
The more you have the lower the price.








A better question is this, why did obama say when he was running he was for Nuke power and drilling off shore, and now he says no.





I can answer that also, because he is a LIAR.





And do people realize that oil is used for more than just fuel for cars. The plastic bottles for instance. Plus more.
Easy,,,,,,Because you liberals are always screaming ';it take 8-10 years to get a rig up and running.';





There is a glut of oil right now because the demand has dropped like a rock, in this bad economy. Which is even more reason to start building more rigs NOW. Building oil rigs creates jobs.





But fear not, the demand will increase again, after Obama gets recalled.
It takes years to bring in the oil. It's not like going to 7/11 and getting a Slurpee whenever you want. If and when Obama's massive spending starts up the economy, people will drive more and gas prices will rise, not to mention that currently we buy our oil from other nations which devastates our balance of payments.
Because it will create more jobs, lower the cost per barrel, and get us out from under the Saudi's thumb. Not only do we need to drill, but also invest in solar, nuclear, wind, water, coal. Ethanol really didn't work on lowering the cost of gas, just raising the cost of corn, bread, milk, meat...
How short your memory is. The idea is to drill when there is a surplus so that the oil is ready when there is a shortage. If one waits until there is a shortage to drill that leaves you behind the curve.
we aren't using our reserves and we are still buying oil from countries that hate us.





Liberals say it will take 10 years to make a difference. They said that years ago. If we started back then we would be closer. Why wait?





liberals are pinheads
It's called ';energy independence.'; Why would you want America to be dependent on other countries for oil... especially when many of them don't like us or are unstable?





It makes no sense, my friend to not DRILL BABY, DRILL.
because there are more than 53 million cars, for one thing, and for another, despite liberal alarmism, this country has a lot more than a year left to it.
The glut will certainly not last forever. Once the economy begins to recover, fuel consumption will rise. We might as well start surveying for new wells now, since it takes time for those wells to start producing.
Its there for now. What happens when the economy pics up again? If it ever picks up after your Messiah is done, of course we all want to drive around with a energy sucking battery in our trunk. How lame.
who did we over pay for the oil reserve?? why not drill here, create jobs here, we're capable of doing a far better job, with less environmental effects, higher standards..
Because we are looking to the future where our ability to be energy independent could mean the difference from all-out depression or an advantage over Asia and Europe, with whom we compete for these resources.
They have never been well known for their intellectual powers.
So the money we spend on gasoilne and other oil products don't leave the country.
Well, you better drill, there's less than 10 years of oil reserves left in the U.S. at their current consumption.
Because we import 70% of our oil. we need to use our own oil and keep u.s. dollars here , and not in the hands of ones that will cause us harm
More oil, more money.
I'm proud of my very large ';carbon footprint!';
Greed my friend, greed is what makes this merry go round of a country rotate...
