December 19, 2012

Over at Breitbart is a post with this headline:     “Coal Use Set To Surpass Oil In  A Decade: IEA“.  I used to go over and post comments over at TreeHugger, as regular readers of the ‘Grok know, and bring the Lefty Enviro-wacko stream of consciousness back here just so that you see what the mindset [ Read more ]

Ask New Hampshire Democrats…About Gas Prices

October 5, 2012

Nothing says ‘we have no principles whatsoever’ like a crowd of screeching banshee gone silent when the shoe is on the other foot. If you’ve failed to notice this happens to Democrats often and no example is more prominent than gas prices. Back when it was politically expedient, Democrats in New Hampshire were wailing like [ Read more ]

“Promised Land” – It’s Fracking Paid for in Part By Arab Oil & Gas Interests

September 28, 2012

About Uber-leftist Matt Damon’s new film about the evil American oil and gas industry… A new film starring Matt Damon presents American oil and natural gas producers as money-grubbing villains purportedly poisoning rural American towns.

Regressives hate this energy-producing process

March 30, 2012

See the “oil pyramid” in the diagram below? Note the 800 billion barrels of “oil shale” reserves. But wait…how the heck do they get oil out of rock? Have you ever wondered exactly how “horizontal drilling” and “hydraulic fracking” is done? It’s a process making the U.S.A. the world’s biggest energy-producer…as in “Saudi Arabia won’t matter [ Read more ]

What was That Obama Said About Production Being Up?

March 18, 2012

I think Mr. Obama said something about us drilling more now than before he was president.  Drilling for what, Bull S**t? And just to reiterate a point I, and many others, have made previously about “subsidies, tax breaks, and special Federal deals for energy companies, and let me add ‘any’ companies–don’t just stop subsidies for [ Read more ]

Yet another example of politicians ignoring THEIR responsibility to lecture us on ours

December 21, 2011

“The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.” – President Barack Obama, Inauguration, 1/20/09 Too bad, he didn’t have “and treat our citizens [ Read more ]

Laying Some Pipe

August 15, 2011

The Democrat controlled Senate had the opportunity to create jobs, generate growth, add some tax revenue, and did I say create jobs? But Harry Reid couldn’t bring himself to get the Keystone XL Pipeline project approved before the recess.

Jeanne Shaheen’s Sticky Situation

June 12, 2011

In the “stupid things said by former governors of New Hampshire who have become US Senator’s category,” Jeanne Shaheen (Greene Shaheen) dominates. As another hack of the environmental movement she has said some incredibly stupid things and intimated plenty of others, forever making us proud.

Speculate This Jeanne Shaheen

April 26, 2011

Back in 2007 when Jeanne Shaheen was demagoging rising gas prices for political points, she insisted it was evil oil speculators who were manipulating the price to get rich off hardworking Americans. But then prices went down, Shaheen got her Obama bump and became a Senator, and she stopped picking on those imaginary speculators. But [ Read more ]

Candidate Obama Bullish on Oil?

March 30, 2011

The Financial Times reports (free subscription) that the Obama White House is planning to call on oil companies to increase domestic production. In another Obama speech, today, the new plan is expected to focus on Oil, responsible natural gas, and a hot button for the left–when they claim to be in favor of drilling–forcing oil companies to use idle leases.

A problem for the Oily Populists.

July 29, 2010

Paul Hodes is scalp hunting BP over the Gulf Oil spill—even though BP ponied up 20 Billion already and has spent plenty trying to fix things besides.  Fine and dandy “but how do I use that for populist traction” cries Sugar Daddy Hodes.  “I need votes.”  His answer is another press release promising something or [ Read more ]

Another Obama Jobs Program

June 9, 2010

Obama has apparently banned deep water drilling in the Gulf. Well c’mon, what did you expect. Millions of barrels spewing into the water and oil went down in price? Who cares if thousands more people are now out of work. This is about the agenda damn it. Besides they are probably all a bunch of God fearing, gun clinging republicans anyway.

From Day One

May 24, 2010

The anti-terrorism strategy so far has been to bow and scrape, and admit faults, and hope nothing bad happens.  The product of that failed policy has been for our enemies to take advantage of us while continuing to hate us more than ever, with a jihadi gunman successfully killing at fort Hood while two Bombs that were [ Read more ]

From Day One

May 4, 2010

"Let me be clear” may be giving way to “From Day one.”  “From Day One” is the new backstop in the absence of physical evidence.  "From day one," the Obama administration was working behind the scenes on a response to the BP oil rig explosion.  You’re damn right they were. Day one began with the [ Read more ]

There Will Be No Drilling

April 2, 2010

  Mr. Obama tossed out a rhetorical bone to the pro-carbon energy crowd by granting indulgences to the oil industry.  He promised to take their money for mineral rights leases but this is a feint and should not be misconstrued as an admission of or desire to increase domestic oil production. First, he will not [ Read more ]
