Happy Birthday Sarah! Wish you were Alberta’s
Fabulous speech.
Lets see the Libs and the prim tut-tutters of the D.C. “Conservative” establishment complain about this one.
I think the name George Mitchell and Harold Hamm should be synonymous with Edison, Jobs, Gates, Ford etc.
Yes, they got rich, but they all do. These few actually changed our lives, and the world’s. But outside their industry Mitchell and Hamm are nobodies.

I agree.
As for those who criticize Palin, I really don't give a damn. Sarah Palin stands head and shoulders about those nattering nabobs of negativism. They have nearly destroyed our country. Palin, along with millions of her supporters, will rescue it.
Lots of jobs are created because individuals lay their money, hard work and reputations on the line. Yes, many get wealthy in the process but many, too, go broke. The profit motive is crucial to a free society. Sarah Palin knows it. I wish SOMEONE in Washington would know it, too.
Obummer and his whackjob supporters are trying to shut down the Alaskan oil industry. They figure if they can lock down ANWR and the continental shelf long enough Prudhoe Bay production will fall to the point that the pipeline will have to be shut down.
That’s true. Palin talks about that in this column. Most of growth in oil drilling has been on private and state controlled lands. Just think if we ever get a president that opens up the vast federal lands to exploration. I would like to see the states take control of these lands from the federal government.
Another thing to think about. the oil, gas and coal extracted from the federal lands would go a long, long way towards reducing the deficits and national debts.
I read in USAToday last week:
“Republicans talked about drill baby drill but it was Obama that made it happen”
The bizarro part is that 50% of Americans will believe it by Nov 2016.
The fact is with modern drilling technology there would be a tiny footprint in ANWR that wouldn't harm the land or the critters.
Yes, I’ve seen them. My position on drilling is that if there’s oil under the White House lawn, we go after it.
Here in ND’s Bakken field, oil is being extracted from under Lake Sakakawea. Directional drilling has dramatically reduced the environmental footprint.
I am so glad that gas is down....but it worries me that it went up 9 cents this week. Hopefully that trend turns back to going down-down-down. We should really be paying about 90 cents when we did during the heyday of the 90’s.
Gas has gone up here the last few days from $1.99 to $2.19. I predict it will go up even further. If the Federal government ever opens up fed controlled lands, prices could be dramatically reduced. That is as long as producers can get it out of the ground and still make a profit.

On this thread is the whole article Sarah wrote.
It is required reading.
America has an almost unbelievable amount of resources. We are discovering more deposits and new technology is being developed to exploit them at a fast pace.
I have been doing research and have been reading much on the Oil Industry of late and we are truly witnessing the beginning of a New American Energy Renaissance.
USA Today?
Oh, yeah.
That's the comic-book lookin' thing gets dropped outside the door and I leave my boots on to keep the mud off the carpet in my motel room.
Come to think about it, I actually DID read through one of those "news"papers some time ago, but I really think it's highest value is exactly what I've described above: a door mat. (Even if it is such a sorry grade of paper you've gotta use two or three of 'em most times.)
Hey! I had one of those bumper stickers--In North Dakota in the '80s.
She's right, but duh-1 isn't interested in a strong America--quite the opposite.
The result is an incredible investment with the opportunity for a return removed by decree.
Leigh Price should be in there, too. He was the USGS geochemist who recognized that the oil generated in the Bakken had stayed in the formation, and was providing estimates of billions of barrels in place as early as 1993. His work was one of the foundations of the Bakken boom.
