Do appreciate the unselfish generosity in a sharing seminar embedded with priceless knowledge, boots on the ground personal experience interlaced with wisdom - can't get that much socio/political/industrial savvy realism in any class

You said "Climate change and this attempt to shift the US to socialism is nothing more than an attempt at a massive transfer of wealth from the first world to the third." Yep out of our pockets and into the banksters because we've seen the direction money has been flowing in.<br

Now, I don't have a clue how expensive or involved it is to produce it from coal, but I suspect it sort of was like the "Red Ball Express" which delivered supplies, food, ammo and fuel to the Allies as they drove deep into Europe and then on in to Germany, barely keeping up w/ the demand...and sometimes not. I don't remember the exact figures but it seems to me like they burned ten gallons of gas to deliver one, some ridiculous figure like that. I think the analogy is apt in re... [ More ]

Thanks Eddessa. Very interesting questions Eddessa. :)

Thanks Mike. With respect to the scenarios you just talked about they seem to be in step with a lot of the stuff the X-22 videos discuss as far as long term planning to make the US a third world country. My thinking may be a bit abstract but as we discuss events of the past, it clarifies a lot of current events the MSM is not reporting.

Note Bene: During WW!1 when we were bombing out the Romanian (axis) oil fields and hurting the Nazi mechanized war machine including the very thirsty Panza & Tiger tanks - they had to find oil substitute and under the direction of Minister Albrect Speer developed a viable synthetic oil product which effectively kept the enemy in the war longer. My question, since the spoils of war like industrial patents for ex. sound recording wire & magnetic tape were expropriated by al... [ More ]

The trouble was the Arab oil embargo hit us just after we had reached our peak oil production and it was declining rapidly yet our demand was headed the other way by leaps and bounds. We had already drilled in the most accessible places and the hard-to-reach places like offshore or where they had to haul in water to drill with made it cost prohibitive to make a profit at those prices back then. Since that time, we've developed air drilling and esp. the technology for horizont... [ More ]

Thanks Mike. Nothing like capping wells, banning drilling just to tell us there is a shortage to drive prices up.

Thanks Sully. I shudder to think what the world could have been like without him. I think we're getting a preview here and there.

"...remember the 1973 OPEC oil embargo..." Yes, I certainly do. Just a quick backstory; I went off to college, majoring in journalism and after seeing the press hound Nixon like jackals and having to put up with the young leftists in my dept., decided to quit college, at least for a year, work a little bit and go back. Anyway, when I got home I found out the son of the people who ran "my" gas station had cancer, so I helped them out, then later leased it from them during th... [ More ]

Thanks Eddessa. We could have remained independent from OPEC for years had the right president been in office.

Glad we got Trump to stand up to them.

Regarding our independence from Middle Eastern oil addiction, isn't it about time - remember the 1973 OPEC oil embargo when the USA was held hostage, that was Warning shot hot across the bow that lesson we needed to heed . And Bye the Bye, OK it's their oil and cartel but why did our local producers have to increase prices along with the sand rats products ? ? President Trump is spot on - Stay Free & Stand Free without any encumbrances, another step in Making America... [ More ]

Thanks Mike. That is exceptionally informative about the types of chemicals in fracking fluid. Thank you so much for setting the record straight. I would suspect we have many more chemicals in our food chain.

Yes, there are formations it should not be used in, ones where the oil bearing strata is close to the water table and as long as wells are completed properly and according to mandated guidelines, it's a very safe and effective process. I saw someone on Twitter lament that "they use diesel in frack fluid!" Not sure what the big deal is about that, using hydrocarbons to help produce hydrocarbons. SMH Yes, there are some chemicals in the fluid I wouldn't want to drink or have splashed on... [ More ]
