US Daily Oil Production 6.598 Million Barrels Per Day & The Continental Resources Discovery In Oklahoma

Good leadership will do all that is required; including exploiting our fossil fuels, support alternatives, and encourage conservation.....unfortunately , Obama isn't doing this.

Because Mr Poor Long Term Memory:

Before they "evolved" Natural Gas was considered a non-green CO2 demon by the Democratic Socialists and their eco-facist masters.

Now that we are closer to the election, Obama appears to believe that there is such a concept as "Clean Coal".

He'll have move "flexibility" if he's re-elected.

Can't you ever tell the whole truth instead of misrepresenting it?

Horse fly I think you are one of the wingers ridiculing green here... Originally Posted by ekim008

Most, if not all simply don't have a payout. I'm not saying one day there won't be but not with most of these technologies.

For the most part, gasoline can't be beat for safe and convenient storage of billions of BTUs.

You are talking about flaring. Controlled Flaring puts much less C02 in the air than does all the power generation and home heating.

Keep me out of you homosexual fantasies Munch.

Actually, we slaughtered A LOT of whales for their oil. The oil industry actually saved the whales from extinction.

Natural gas takes pipelines to distribute to the homes. In the north and north east, many of the homes there just don't have the ability to connect. Plus the enviro-wackos stop every effort to install new pipelines.
Maybe they want us to go back to slaughtering whales.

What the enviro-whackos need to do is heat their homes with SOLAR.

For the most part "we" have not built for solar energy, which in some cases uses angle and windows to assist through "passively" capturing energy and releasing heat in the summer time.

If one is going to utilize "natural" heating and cooling, one must design the structures ahead of time to take advantage of prevailing winds, changes in the angle of sunlight, and retaining the created condition inside of the building. "We" don't do that any more.

There is a huge amount used for heating,why not convert to gas?Any attempt to go green is ridiculed here.. Originally Posted by ekim008

Obama supports change, and that's why I am voting for him. We have tried capitalism and can see that it doesn't work for the majority.

Actually, Obaminable's pitch is that "capitalism" DOES NOT work for the MINORITY ...

.. please don't forget that "Obamacare" was initiated to provide health insurance coverage for the 15 million people in this country who didn't have any ... for one reason or another ... and were not citizens of this country ... for one reason or another.

But I still want to know about those small "farms" ....

..... or we talking vegetables or storage tanks? Inquiring minds want to know.

There have always been small farms all over the nation, it is nothing new.
