Awesome. :2razz:tecoyah said:The deception just pisses me off.
You enjoy to be deceived by your St. Bush?KCConservative said:Awesome. :2razz:
Quite the contrary. I am for drilling at Anwar.jfuh said:You enjoy to be deceived by your St. Bush?
Lol, contrary? You're very funny. Just how much oil is in Anwar? Contrast that to the footprint that would be left by such drilling? I know those of you that religoiusly support St. Bush are, Bush never errors and he speaks the word of god.KCConservative said:Quite the contrary. I am for drilling at Anwar.

Yes you photo far enough from space and Earth is nothing more than a glowing spec.alphamale said:They could drill the living hell out of ANWR, and a photo from space would show no change. Down on the ground level, migrating mosquitoes have to make a slight detour to avoid bumping into an oil rig. Notice that it's always the same people who whine about high gas prices and "no blood for oil" that become obstructionists when an attempt is made to bet more oil from U.S. territory.
I see you agree with alpha? So where's your credible source that drilling there will:KCConservative said:Bingo!
:2wave:

Show me your source that drilling in Anwar will actually lower gas prices?
Just as I thought, no source.alphamale said:Uh, read pages 1 thru 10 of any economics book! :mrgreen:

Lame
I see someone slept through mathematics class. For one, Anwr is not another 2 nor is it even a 1, Anwr is more like a 10^-8 in contrast to the 10 that is representative of what the US needs with respect to annual demand.alphamale said:That increased supply decreases price is nowadays probably a fact in possession of ten year olds. This is like asking for a "reference" that 2 + 2 = 4. :lol:

So again, I'm going to ask you for your source that claims Anwr will actually meet enough demand to lower prices nationwide.
LaMidRighter said:By itself drilling in ANWR will not reduce prices of fuel, the way it would have an effect would be to curtail foreign consumption and take away some pricing leverage from OPEC.
alphamale said:You are a completely off the scale nutcase! :2razz: ANWR probably has 9 billion barrels of recoverable oil - just with today's technology, and the U.S. consumes about 7 billion barrels a year. Obviously, you don't have a clue.

Ordinary Americans will get no benefit from it.
The petro can't come to market at a rate that will impact the "price leverage from OPEC." That's the bottleneck. GWB said that we could only get it at just under a million bpd. When this is compared to the projected consumption needs of the US at the time that the petro could start to arrive, it amounts to only a small fraction.alphamale said:Sorry, but taking away price leverage from OPEC is one of the ways to lower prices.
Perhaps over a few to several decades. Still a small percentage of the petro expenditures for the same time period.alphamale said:Also, the recoverable oil is estimated to save 1/3 of a trillion dollars paid to exporting countries.

I do too. What's your point?Kandahar said:Are the CEOs going to build the oil rigs and pump the oil themselves? I doubt it.
