You all know I be liking Glenn Beck…..he had an interesting program on tonight..You just won’t believe it! Say it ain’t so…Not!
You are not going to believe this;There is drilling for oil finally going on. Guess what? It is China and India doing the drilling 50 miles from Key West! That’s what I said..Bunny Bread! You read it correctly. Yep, right off our Florida Coast..Whoo Hoo! They call it slant drilling…which means not only could they tap into the natural gas and oil into the Cuban outer Continental Shelf, but it would also allow them arguably to drill into our natural gas. They can take the oil from underneath us and, yet, we’re not doing a dadgum thing about it. This is — making me crazy! If you see a woman running up and down the street slightly disheveled and screaming bloody murder..well, you got the right one baby!
What’s amazing about this, too, is this is the same sort of technology they want to use in an war so they don’t stop. So, you obviously know they’re going to be disturbing the environment. In Anwar they can drill hole and drill all under the bottom there. Did you read that right? They will most likely disturb the environment..Yes, they are not concerned with their own nations environment when it comes to the economy and for sure their energy. Do you really think America that they are going to be concerned with ours?
Havana, Cuba) Cuba has 59 blocks of deep Gulf of Mexico waters claimed in an economic exclusion zone fronting the United States. Of the 59, 28 have been reserved for exploration by seven foreign companies.
The latest to join is the Brazilian state oil company Petrobras which signed the agreement with the Cuban state oil company CUPET on Friday.
The US Geological Survey estimated the North Cuba basin could contain 4.6 billion barrels of oil, with a high-end potential of 9.3 billion barrels, and close to 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
PDVSA of Venezuela is already a major partner of Cuba in oil, taking out blocks in the gulf and building and modernizing refineries. Others signing agreements include Spain’s Repsol-YPF, India’s ONGC and Nordsk Hydro, Vietnam state oil and gas group Petrovietnam, Malaysia’s state-run Petronas and Canada’s Sherritt International.
So, along with Venezuela, Spain, India, Vietnam, Malaysia and Canada, now Brazil will be drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Isn’t it odd that the only country that can’t drill in the Gulf of Mexico is the one which borders it on three sides?
This is absolutely incredible to me. Everyone I talked to this weekend, everyone I talked to said, I can’t do it anymore. I don’t know what — I mean, I don’t even know what to do. May I ask you a question, America? How are you doing it? How are you taking your kids to ballet, to karate, to, you know, Little League, to soccer? How are you running them to Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, to the church on Sunday, to school, back and forth? Most stay at home moms are not at home. They’re usually in the car shlepping the kids. How are you affording it anymore? Gas is going to be the top line expense with everyone.
I mean, food is not magically going up because of, you know, oh, gee, it’s hard to, you know, make a bagel now. Food is going up because of fuel. Fertilizer, fuel, delivery, ethanol, all of the things that Congress has done and do you know what I’ve been saying for awhile? this country is disenfranchised. The people in Congress are not listening to us. 13 percent approval rating of Congress. They’re not listening.
Are you with me yet that if we continue down this path, if we continue down this path of — they’re debating cap and trade. It’s going to cost $1.50 more per gallon. This is what they’re working on, cap and trade.
Now, it’s not going to pass this time around, but you watch because all three, all three presidential candidates are for cap and trade, which will add $1.50 per gallon for your gasoline. The EPA estimates it will take 1.1 to $2.8 trillion out of our GDP. 70 percent of our GDP is consumer spending. That means to take $2.8 trillion out of the GDP it means that you have $2.8 trillion or about, what, 70 percent of that, 1.5, $1.8 trillion less to spend. It means it stops you from spending because you don’t have any money left and this is what they’re doing. I’m telling you. Pitch forks are coming. The media doesn’t discuss the costs of these things. So, people ya need to let your reps know what you know and want or don’t want..a need to tell your neigbors, your family, your friends, if you want TRUE CHANGE..not the fancy rhetoric talk of politicians.
Do you know what? Before September 11th, when we were all fat and lazy and everybody was talking about technology and Glenn Beck said, I warn you, I warn you, what were the elements that I said? Do you recall at all? He told us all you have to do is create fear and hunger. Fear and hunger. We’ve got fear. The war is going. You’ve got fear. You’re creating hunger now. When you put hunger into this, because people are not afraid of what they cannot feel or see. Issues are important to us…just saying…I am thinking those two issues at top are going to take over…
But wait a minute. See, that doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. People aren’t seeking out that information. They’re going to seek out the information about gas because it affects them. Food prices, it affects them. The media can say whatever you want, but when I say to you China is 50 miles off the coast of Florida building a platform right now along with India, building a platform that includes slant drilling, so it’s 50 miles off our shores, they’re taking the oil from Cuba’s property and they’re also slant drilling into our property or they have the capability of doing that and we are not drilling on our own property, people will say enough of it. OR they should say ENOUGH ALREADY! Everybody can drill offshore except the US..and they are coming here. Our country is rich in resources…we are tied up..we are not PC. We are spoilers. We have no sense to use our own resources and be energy independent and do it with style with the environment intact.. I don’t believe that..I think American ingenuity and innovation is there…it just has to be unleashed.
While Cap and trade is difficult to understand. Drilling for your own resources is not. The shale in Colorado is not. I mean, they are going up for the oil sands up in Canada. They’re doing it with the oil sands. They won’t let us take shale. Here’s what you need to know. In 2007 congressional democrats led an effort which became law to prevent the department of interior from enacting new rules for commercial oil shale leases until at least October 2008. The republicans in May this year tried to get around it saying, okay. Can we stop this? Let’s go after the shale. Well, they didn’t do it. They didn’t go after the shale. The democrats are still saying, no, no, no. The mountains are too important. Put the mountain back. Coast off of Florida and California, President Clinton, no, no, no. Cannot drill anything off our shores until 2012. Here is what’s at stake: The outer continental shelf moratorium, the at LAN tack ocean, the outer continental shelf moratorium, Pacific Ocean, outer continental shelf moratorium, Gulf of Mexico. And even a congressional ban on doing an analysis of the resource potential for oil and gas in the Atlantic, Pacific and the eastern gulf. We can’t even say can we look into it. Congress has said no. Then the Anwar. Back in 1995 President Clinton vetoed it. It is 700 miles away from a tree. 700 miles away from a tree. This is the point where my hair starts standing up doing its own dance..believe me, it is not a pretty sight.
Oil, when he vetoed this, was $19 a barrel. He said we didn’t need the oil that much. New technology was right around the corner and it would be until 2007 until we got the oil. So, it was going to take us way too long. Now oil is — let me see here — $125 a barrel, up from $19 a barrel. We would have been pumping that oil out now. They say, well, there’s not that much oil to get, yet. Here’s a solution in the paper: Try this solution. See if this doesn’t make your curly hair straight or vice versa! This is quite possibly my favorite solution. Ready? They don’t want to go into Anwar. No, that’s not go in Anwar. Let’s not go off of our own chest. Let’s let China do it but not us. Let’s not go in and take the shale in the mountains. Let’s go take coal. We’re three times the size of Saudi Arabia in coal to oil, three times. We’re going up to Canada and buying it from them, but we won’t do it ourself. Here’s a solution. Are you ready? Empty out the strategic petroleum reserves. Empty out the strategic oil reserves. It’s now holding 700 million barrels of oil. That’s nothing to sneeze at. We’re at war in the Middle East. Empty out the strategic oil reserve? Are we intentionally trying to destroy ourselves?
By the way, if you go to buy a new car, if you go to buy a new car, it’s going to cost you about $2,000 extra. Now, why? We’re having a hard time selling cars. Detroit is having problems. Why would cars go up $2,000 per vehicle? Because the trains are overloaded, because we can’t afford to ship products by air anymore, because the airlines are becoming obsolete, the airlines cost too much money to ship things. So, people think, well, I’ll just ship it by train. Well, now — the backlog on the trains in Chicago is so enormous, it’s costing $2,000 extra per car to get it onto a train.
By the way, the airlines, they announced last week, the people who sell the jet fuel to the airlines, the airlines are in such precarious positions for the first time ever, they’re being told, by the way, you have to pay cash for everything. They used to have a 20‑day turn around. They would give you the jet fuel and the airlines had 20 days to pay it off. That means the people who are selling the airlines’ fuel think they’re not good for 20 days. They want cash.
We are in a precarious situation and what is Congress doing today? Cap and trade? Something that — to protect the environment? Americans are angry! Congress should start getting concerned. I’m telling you, I don’t know how much carbon torches give off, but the environment is going to weep one of these days because I think Americans are going to light torches and grab pitch forks and head to Washington and tell these clowns, get the h*ll out! But maybe it’s just me. What do I know?
