^^ Really? 1 million? I thought it was 100000000000000 million billion. Cause you know U.S. death squads just roam the streets going door to door killing women and children. And you know what I take that back. If Al Gore didn't have anything to gain from promoting climate alarmism he probably wouldn't care about it.

Oh this brings back some memories. One time when I was like in 8th grade some kid missed most of the school day for some geography bee or something. He was a real weird kid, he had orange hair and a little rat tail/mullet. He used to sit next to me at the last period of the day. So he comes back from the contest, sits down next to me and just completely freaks out. He starts crying and slams his head into the desk. His face is beet red and he's just sitting next to me sobbing. I just sat there trying to keep a straight face. slowly I went from... :| :) :D :lol:

Oy: Once again, they can drill in an environmentally safe way. The area they would drill on is the size of a business card on a basketball court. Really? The war cost 9 trillion dollars? The debt was like 6 trillion before he took office. But still he should have vetoed a few more things. Al Gore would have spent way more than that even if he didn't go to war which he might have and we probably would have had another terrorist attack.

Why? We can do coal to oil for something like $35 a barrel.

I know I never said don't pursue the bugs but we don't know how long it will take or if it will even turn out to be feasible. It's not worth risking the whole economy on it. Instead of being at the mercy of opec we should drill in the U.S. Even without drilling we could have well over 1 trillion barrels of oil from shale. Or if we turned our coal into oil we would have 4 times the reserves of saudi arabia.

We do need the oil look at the price of gas. They would drill on such a small area of land and they can do it in an environmentally safe way. How many of the oil rigs in the gulf of mexico spilled oil during katrina?

Find me a source then on this .3 theory, considering the world's heat has risen by 1 degree in the last 20 years and the release of Greenhouse gases is currently booming I would much more believe the 5 degree theory than the .3 theory. The people who created the .3 theory are guessing just as much as the 5 degree theory, no one actually knows till 2100 comes along and we're all [bleep]. The earth has not warmed 1 degree in the last 20 years. It has risen .8 degrees since 1880. Stephen Schwartz of the Brookhaven National Laboratory, Heat Capacity, Time Constant, And Sensitivity of Earth's Climate System It was accepted for publication in Journal of Geophysical Research EDIT: Schwartz finds that climate sensitivity to doubling co2 is 1.1 degrees. Since .8 degrees has already happened you do the math.

Once I had a dream with some guy who was an old time basketball player I had never heard of or seen about and he turned out to be real. His jeresey had his real name and number on the back of it too.

^^ I know it will run out eventually but probably not anytime soon. Do you honestly think that in 50 or 100 years cars will still run on gas? Just in the last eight years look at the advances we have made. And kranked1: The expected increase should be .3 degrees. People who say the earth will warm 5 degrees by 2100 are just guessing with positive feedbacks when it is probably more likely that there are negative feedbacks.

No we should move away from short-term solutions and start looking at long-term, cleaner and renewable energy sources. We're just going to screw the world up more if we keep using Oil. Also 4 dollars a gallon is quite cheap when compared to other countries, be happy you only pay 4 dollars. Even if a spill doesn't occur a [cabbage] load of Co2 is released into the air furthering the effects of global warming, shouldn't we consider the future world I.E our children, their children etc in these choices as these choices essentially decide what their world will be like. Don't give me that global warming bull. Is it really worth it all to avoid .3 degrees of warming by 2100? Were just going to keep importing oil anyway so why not use American oil. And anyways we can't do anything else. The democrats won't let us build nuclear plants. Thats sure a genius move.

You can get arrested for statutory rape :shame:

So because there is a small chance of a spill we should just give up on energy independence and continue paying $4 a gallon gas? http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m ... i_89924477 They can drill in an environmentally safe way and they would only drill on an area the size of a business card on a basketball court. Anyway anwr aside its like 90% of offshore oil reserves are off limits. There is as much as 4 trillion barrels of oil from shale and the best thing the democrats can come up with to reduce gas prices are to enact a windfall profits tax on oil companies. That sure is a genius idea.

If we're drilling at sea it will most likely be sent to it's nearest land form for less costs since all Oil companies are only concerned about profits, so in the case of Anwr it would most likely be sent to Cuba, we would then have to send it by tanker to Usa. ANWR is in Alaska dude.

Oil spills are not a reason not to drill. They can do it in an environmentally safe way. Oil tankers spill 33 times more oil than platforms. So we'd be spilling less oil by drilling than by importing oil.

^^ Even Chuck Schumer admitted that a million barrels a day would lower gas prices 50 cents immediately.

I didn't say millions, I said million.

The area they would drill in anwr is the size of a business card on a basketball court. And they can do it in a environmentally friendly way. They could get 5% of the amount of oil the U.S. uses for 12 years. That means if Clinton hadn't vetoed it we would be getting a million barrels a day today. And China is not drilling off the coast of florida at present but the Cuban government has leased them the land. And woopsie I forgot its not 100 miles, its 60 miles. They can change coal to oil for $35 a barrel. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m ... i_89924477

Are you guys kidding? There is plenty of oil left. The problem os that congress has placed it all off limits. Anwr is off limits. We could be getting a million barrels a day from there. They just found 200 BILLION barrels in the Dakotas. Offshore drilling is so restricted that soon CHINA will be drilling within a hundered miles of Florida yet we can't. Not to mention the 1.5 TRILLION (with a t) barrels of oil we could get from oil shale. Or we could take all that coal we have and turn it into oil. We are the saudi arabia of coal so why not turn it into oil?

Great now oil comes out of bugs [wagon]. I mean I don't know if anyone else knows this, it may be a secret but when you dig real real deep into the ground there is oil there. I'm sure if we did that we could get oil, right? :wall:

^^Well your messing up the planet right now. So you might want to just go give a polar bear a big hug and see what he does. Cause you know polar bears are just so nice and cuddly. They couldn't hurt a soul.

Besides Russert your not missing much on msnbc.

He was a really good reporter but I mean the nonstop coverage by msnbc, CNN, and FOX is getting a little old. No disrespect to him but he's not like a god or anything. I mean didn't two marines die today? Whatever he was a hell of a guy so I guess he earned it. Hes to T Russ =D> Why couldn't it have been Olbermann? :pray:

What are you talking about? They ARE the government. Hamas controls gaza. #-o

^^ No, of course he hasn't. I'm sure he lives in a commune that makes their houses out of driftwood. Of course that would mean he doesnt wash his hands or wipe his butt. :-X

No, That would The saudis.
