Very likely no one we can trust.

By the way, Boone Pickens is 84, and he doesn't look like he's slowed down very much.

There are other people out there who may be credible, but no one with Mr. Welsh's outstanding resume and sterling reputation that I know of.

Ultimately all major metro areas and interstate highways would have CNG
fueling stations. We have an estimated 65 year supply of natural gas. The downside the oil companies and the Middle East would express dislike: so be it.

Invest in our infrastructure, spend our money at home, reduce fuel cost, create jobs, reduce carbon emissions and pollution. Why not?

The feds will bail out the automakers for $25 billion. Why? Why not seed money for CNG?

We need some politicians who are interested in the USA. What in the Hell is the matter with us?]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/98981-u-s-automakers-can-t-afford-to-overlook-natural-gas-opportunities?source=feed#comment-276905 276905 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 11:48:55 -0400

I imagine however, that US automakers are simply unable to see it..just as they have missed dozens of other trends over the last 20 yrs.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/98981-u-s-automakers-can-t-afford-to-overlook-natural-gas-opportunities?source=feed#comment-276601 276601 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:04:02 -0400 cng is a great idea. You can put a little fill up station in your garage. The market will add cng gas stations as demand warrants.

china must think so, if the rumors about florida are true. last weekend i was listening to the movements of russian warships. funny to get to the off-east coast and gulf reservoirs it looked like we had to get past them. that wasn't stated but i kind of wondered if their manouvers were a subtle statement about oil.

I know geologists and researchers find natural seeps in the Gulf all the time, usually from natural gas bubbling up to the surface. And those types of occurrences are blamed by many for the loss of ships in the area known as the Burmuda triangle.

Think there's ALOT of oil and gas down there off our coasts? ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/97135-u-s-offshore-oil-ban-to-expire?source=feed#comment-265774 265774 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 09:21:28 -0400
You're right, buddy. You don't hear much about the seepage issue, because the Greens and their cohorts in the press prefer to focus on the infrequent manmade spills instead.

Actually, NATURAL seepage (a real problem near the CA coast due to their drilling prohibitions) accounts for at least 3/4 of oil "spills," and boating and waterborne transportation most of the rest.

The reason you never hear about oil spills from drilling accidents (which the Greens and the news media would salivate about reporting to us) is they virtually NEVER happen. ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/97135-u-s-offshore-oil-ban-to-expire?source=feed#comment-265275 265275 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 18:04:11 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/97135-u-s-offshore-oil-ban-to-expire?source=feed#comment-264890 264890 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 12:04:34 -0400 you think those guys would try to trick us or decieve us? shocking. for the sake of clinging to office? do nothing sounds par for the course.
i was reading an article awhile back by an environmentalist that was monitering the offshore california waters. he implied we needed to drill because of seepage.
isn't china setting up to drill off the florida coast under cover of cuba? if that is true do you think the commies will give a flip about our environmental concerns?
glad to see you contributing articles my friend.

But that's not what you see in the headlines in the news media. They are making it look like it like their Liberal friends on Capitol Hill changed their minds and came to our rescue. I wonder why? ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/97135-u-s-offshore-oil-ban-to-expire?source=feed#comment-264788 264788 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 10:58:11 -0400
As I wrote in the post, federal waters commence THREE miles offshore, which is now, in theory, open to exploration and production, except for an isolated area off Florida.

Whether or not we ever see this come to pass is another question, however. The next president could simply reinstitute the moratorium via executive order. The states will request a share of the royalties, as is the case in the Gulf of Mexico presently. And the Congress will almost certainly attempt to adopt legislation restricting exploration.

Yes, and it's very possible BILLIONS of barrels of oil may lie just offshore there. We don't know yet, of course, because modern oil exploration and extraction technologies have been prohibited there, but it's just possible we may now find out.

Even if we can't produce it at this time for one reason or another, it would be nice to know it's there in case of a war or some other type of long term supply disruption. It would be fitting if this area turned out to be the next Brazil, wouldn't it? ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/97135-u-s-offshore-oil-ban-to-expire?source=feed#comment-264584 264584 jack]]> Thu, 25 Sep 2008 08:42:45 -0400 > jack]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/97135-u-s-offshore-oil-ban-to-expire?source=feed#comment-264466 264466 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 05:47:07 -0400
