Like a bad penny

Like a bad penny, I keep coming back. Who said that? I don’t know. What’s my point? I am back because of the oil situation. I ask again, do you think the costs of oil and its by-products are going t continue down? Fat chance!

I might remind all of you that this little lull will not continue. I must continue to beat the drum and ring the bell t alert everyone that you/we are being rounded up, yes like sheep and the hammer will fall on all of us.

The fastest solution is drill, drill, drill! Producing our own resources and cutting our dependency on foreign supplies is the only way. Might I not forget dig, dig, dig, coal and oil shale, it’s all there.

Our legislators still aren’t getting it; they need to feel the pain that will be on us now and what will be happening in the next few months. You think things are tuff now, with job lost growing, financials tanking and food costs growing. It’s going to get mighty cold. We don’t need to eat anyway. We are to over weight and the population needs to be thinned. A hell of a drum I am beating. Now this is my final doom speech.

So my friends, what are we going to do about it? Let’s examine the pressure points available to us.

The first is those fat legislatures in Washington. This bunch needs to be taken to task and told to move on energy (not asked) available to us starting with oil. We must make it clear their ineffectiveness will not be tolerated and they will be removed. Write letters, phone calls, and e-mails. We need to unite into a force that can’t be denied.

Don’t know where to write, well here you go.

Well there you go lets start letting this bunch know how we feel.

Until the next time

Don't be fooled

Oil is receding but don’t be fooled. What am I saying; we got a long way to go to get oil prices down to a level that the average citizen can cope with costs that have been rising higher do to oils increases.

Remember the fall is fast approaching, the people responsible for these increases will be back pushing to see an acceleration back to levels that will cause us all great harm. What harm, the costs to keep ourselves warm, the costs to provide food, costs to let manufacturing product at a cost that will reflect in a fair selling price. Or are we to see everything that we consume go off shore and the end of jobs here in the US. Then the government will become a socialist state and we will be wards (sheep) of the state.
As in Oliver Twist, “sir may I have more, please”. Put your hand out, but be good, or you won’t get anymore. To come to think of it, what a way to control the population! Looks that way, doesn’t it? And finally the cost for fuel to get to work. This is behavior modification. You are all bad people, and need to have your behavior modified in a way that our elected offices feel we should behave.

Notice how the legislators are not following through with opening oil and gas (new fields), just status quo! Big oil doesn’t give a damn, look at their profits. Remember we are subsidizing them for new energy sources, etc. See any of that going on? I am for responsible corporate activities and product profit, but not on the backs of our populace.

The only reasons prices are declining, is the chatter going on and yes, the media coverage. (And I am not a media proponent). Be on your guard, this is a false decline. The money groups are waiting in the shadows, the politically correct bunch, are waiting, and they all want to cause the price to go back up.

Do you know that the OPEC bunch could buy us out right now! Yep, they can buy us right now! Their combined assets can take us out, as reported by the MS Money Group. Do you want that? The solution is our own energy sources. Use them all, oil, gas, coal, hydro electric, solar, wind, nuclear and anything else we could throw at the problem.

Whether you agree with me or not, we are driven by oil and we need it now to continue on. Then get the rest of our resources moved up into the power grid at a cost that our populace can sustain a decent life style.

Until the next time

Time Marches On

It’s been awhile since my last entry. Got lots to say, so where to start?

As I have been saying in past posting, where and when will the government, press and big oil start seeing how serious things are getting? I have a file full of information that needs to be seen and acted on, not just talked about.

At this writing the president has lifted the off shore band on drilling, but Congress needs to got off their butts and give their approval.

In the mean time;
Oil here in the north east is a t 4.75 per gallon. Just think about this fall and winter, a minimum of 475 for a hundred gallons of fuel oil that will last about twelve to fourteen days. For the sake of argument that’s about 1000.00 a month to stay warm.

The hell with the Arabs lets look at that bunch of elitist in Congress and Senate. That ineffective bunch of bastards we put in office. They wouldn’t know what the right thing to do if you slapped them in the face with a direction, let alone a solution. As I have stated in the past, I would rather be a great politician for one term and do the peoples work for all, than out there spewing BS to keep my job. They are concerned about their Summer Break than getting things going for this country.

Then we have the commodities market bunch, known as the “greedy bastard bunch”, or as I call them the “Chicken Little Group” (the sky is falling). They hang on to oil disruptions threats and cause the price of oil to go up on rumors that seem to never come about. There are other markets affected by these oil speculating bastards, food prices for one. Look at corn, soybean, just to name a couple. Hey, how about the ethanol in your gas tanks. Ever wonder what it takes to make that stuff? When you can’t afford to buy your “Corn Flakes” drink some gas. You legislators, you got us into this, stand up and kill the ethanol monster you created.

And let us not forget “Big Oil”, I think my attachment tell that story.

Big Oil spends on search, splurges on investors
Focus on stock, dividends reaps more immediate rewards than exploration
In the second quarter of 2008, ConocoPhillips, led by CEO Jim Mulva, spent $275 million before taxes on exploration for new oil reserves and $2.5 billion buying back shares of its stock.
