From The Energy Front For 072809
Hey folks,
On my way to Miami for a super secret meeting. I spend all day in Miami Saturday and will spend half the day there today. I can't talk about it yet, but I will fill you in when I can.
It's Tuesday, therefore it's time to check in From the Energy Front. You know, scan, search, inquire, no matter what I do today, all I keep coming up with is Healthcare. Obamacare to be more precise. Seems our immediate need for Obamacare, AKA Socialized Medicine as all but put Waxman - Markey, or any other program that is sure to kill the economy, on the back burner. Seems all Obama, the Liberal Leadership, and some, a reducing number by the way, of the Mainstream Media, want to do is attempt to shove Obamacare down our throats.
But we can not let up on our Energy Independence. We MUST have it. California is RIGHT. Their state is bankrupt. Why? Do to Liberal Loon policies, over spending, and being beholden to LWL Kook groups. Their solution? DRILL! I'm not kidding.
"California wisely has decided to use a portion of its abundant natural resources to pay for services to its citizens. An estimated $1.8 billion in state royalty payments are expected over the life of developing these resources, and the funds will help defray the state's budget shortfall as well as increase our nation's energy security" Said Jack Gerard, President of API in his latest Blog Post.
That's right folks, California is one of the models that President Obama wants to use for America itself. It will come to the same end result as California. To help them out of the mess, they decided to DO what America SHOULD be doing. Why? Because the ANSWER is RIGHT HERE!
Some other FACTS vs Fiction?
"The United States represents 5 percent of the world's population but uses 25 percent of the world's energy."
Not true.
According to Jane VanRyan over at the API.
According to the 2009 U.S. Statistical Abstract, the United States is home to about 4.5 percent of the world's people. And an examination of other pertinent statistics shows it makes no sense to suggest that U.S. energy consumption can be attributed to each American individually. The United States is a global economic powerhouse using energy to produce goods and services that help to improve lives all over the world. In 2008, the United States used 20.4 percent of the world's energy to produce 20.6 percent of the world's Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
So imagine the impact we could have if we were using OUR OWN resources. As of right now, we are dependent on Foreign Governments that really do not like us that much. We need to take California's lead here.
What about this? "All you have to do is get a tune up, inflate your tires." Remember that? There are some that say if you conserve, drive less, you will save money. NOT TRUE. According to the Heritage Foundation - Cap and Trade’s Effect on Diesel Prices
By artificially restricting use of fossil fuels (which provide 85 percent of America’s energy), the Waxman-Markey bill will drive up energy costs of all sorts. One example is the price of diesel fuel. By 2012, the first year of the Waxman-Markey caps, diesel fuel prices are expected to have risen to $3.75. Waxman-Markey would tack on another 20 cents.
And that’s only the start. Because the legislation mandates ever-tightening restrictions on fossil fuel, the tax on diesel continues to rise. Even after adjusting for inflation, this tax will hit $1.38 by 2035.
Though diesel cost most directly affects truckers and farmers, the higher price will filter through the economy and impact all consumers.
You shop at Wal-Mart? Why? Cheap prices. Do you shop at a grocery store with a card, or some kind of membership? Why? Prices. How do you think all that stuff gets there? Trucks.
Remember when Gas was over $4.00 a gallon? EVERYTHING went up. Waxman - Markey will make these increases PERMINATE. Your Electric Bills will SKYROCKET! Obama said so. Every aspect of your life has a major potential of being effected by our LACK of Drilling and using our own resources. Put this together with Obamacare, and you can see where we are heading. Even though they have stopped talking about it. You need to KEEP talking about it. Kill Obamacare, and KILL Waxman - Markey, BEFORE they kill us.
Got to run folks, for all this and MORE FACTS from those that know, check out our friends over at API. See you all soon.
