Lying propaganda games are what you are all about. I'm surprised you didn't somehow blame Jews.
Only an idiot would suggest increasing domestic production and supply wouldn't help. Many analysts say oil can begin flowing within a year, not the decade the lying liberal propagandists are spewing.

libs you may be right, but then again I would like to know why if increasing domestic production is so important do we have capped wells all over America?
Why does American Oil Companies sell oil to other countries?
Why don't American Oil Companies drill on already leased land?
Why did American Oil Companies buy up Refineries and then shut them down ( Less than half the refineries open thirty years ago are still in operation )?
Why are Oil Companies making record profits when Oil is supposedly at its highest price ever?
Probably another 50 why, but how about starting with these?

Who is the liar?
Where is the documentation for all of those analysts that say oil can begin flowing within a year?
Meanwhile, here is some documentation for you ...

I voted for this before I read it but now I see it's just the same tired old propaganda we have been hearing for years.
Btw, there isn't always oil on the leases the oil companies hold and it also takes years to complete exploration. Then the oil companies have to face all the law suits from the liberals to keep them from even exploring for oil. Then when the lawsuits are over and the drilling starts the law suits begin again. Also, if the oil companies do not do anything with the leases the property returns to the government within a proscribed number of years.
Learning the truth is easy, getting liberals to write the truth is impossible.

Wolfie, there are wells on property around where I live that have been capped for almost half my life. Would they produce? I don't know. But when they capped them, they were producing. They were capped when oil was at $17 dollars a barrel. You think they would open them now, wouldn't you?
Wolfie the truth is the same for liberals and conservatives, what seperates the two ideals is the spin.
You and your Conservative friends choose to believe that those poor Oil Companies are so misjudged during this time of their record profits. But they just may be using this day and time to squeeze more blood out of the turnip.
And I am not a liberal. I am an Independent. I think the Oil companies and their friends are gouging America. Why do you think otherwise? Lets discuss this intelligently.
No name calling, just facts, includes you to,libs.

Having worked with many American oil people, what I have heard is that these wells you speak of produce little and it boils down to cost, is it worth it to keep a well producing 24 hours a day if all it produces is 15 Bbl/day, maybe now they will be uncapped.
As for do's (lips) statement of getting oil to the refinery; How ? pipeline or truck to a pipeline. Then what, oil refineries are unable to refine more, they are full, so drill all you want, till new refineries or existing ones are upgraded where do you store the oil.
And a side note; USA is spending 700 Bill a year on foreign oil and we get 23% of that.

Where is the documentation to back up your accusations of lawsuits?
About leases expiring --
http://www.cfr.org/publication/16616/
The oil industry argues that they are already required to return leases to the federal government if they are not producing. What they don't say is that they are only forced to return those leases when the lease expires. Meaning they can stockpile leases for five, eight, or ten years before having to give them back.
You could learn some truth if you actually LOOKED for it instead of being spoon-fed by the likes of FOX News and Rush Limbaugh.

If we are addicted to oil, why not drill for and use our own rather than paying someone else? No contradiction here. This will help the balance of trade and give time to develop alternate sources of energy. By the way oil is used for more things than trans portion and heat. Many sectors of our economy use oil, we can not make asphalt or plastics from windmills.
