Might be pretty loud but I bet that sounds like music right up there with the National Anthem.

The EPA is Congress’s Hail Mary to deal with issues that the good legislators didn’t want to hash out in the halls of Capitol Hill.

It also allows them to pretend they’re helpless in the face of the same monster they created from the ground up. Sheer cowardice... GRRR. They do have the right to override their creation with legislation, though this has rarely happened.

Why are we so quick to deplete our own oil supplies? I saw we should be selfish. Use the worlds resources and save ours. That makes sense to me.

Because the Green River oil reserve is at least as big as the entire known world's reserves of oil

Recoverable at 1 trillion barrels with current technology.

Estimated total is 3 trillion barrels

Google "USGA Green River Formation" for maps and info.

Yes, it is called the Administrative Procedures Act. Instead of going off like Don Quixote, get into the game. Regulations have to be posted for public comment (Federal Register). The agency is required to respond to comments received on pending regulations. If you are so sharp in your history, you’d be great at sending in formal comments to pending rules. Pick your favorite agency, find their proposed rules in the Federal Register and follow the instructions for submitting comments.

Are they planning on putting oil wells on golf courses? ;)

I think you meant USGS.

Will you please confirm the following? Not only did the Founding States not delegate to Congress the specific power to regulate the environment as evidenced by there being no clauses in Section 8 of Article I which reasonably indicate such power, but neither have the states subsequently amended the Constitution to grant Congress such power. And I'd be interested in hearing your arguments if you believe otherwise.

As a side note, I think that all constitutional grants of power to corrupt Congress need an expiration date. And if the Article V majority wants to extend certain powers beyond the expiration date, then the states can extend the expiration date.

In practice, unless someone wants to call a revolution, the Newnited States gets away with as much monkey business as its Supreme Court says it can. And it definitely ruled that Congress can do that, insofar as the actions of the agency can be weighed in court against the divined intent of Congress.

It’s been argued that way too. But having oil is not as easy as sending a truck out to Bakken and plop, there’s your gusher that just took the place of the Middle East that just got the crap nuked out of it in an insane exchange with Israel. These fields take years to get going, and they won’t get going unless someone’s going to buy the output.

America wouldn’t be hurting for oil if semi-sensible energy policies were in place.

I surmise that that you couldn't find anything in the Constitution that can be construed as the states having delegated to Congress the specific power to regulate a state's natural resources.

And the only reason that the corrupt Supreme Court get's away with unconstitutionally expanding Congress's powers is because parents haven't been making sure that their children are being taught the Founding State's division of federal and state government powers evidenced by Section 8 of Article I, Article V and the 10th Amendment.

Sometimes I think that constitutionally ignorant citizens can sleep in the bed that they have made for themselves.

The ‘Conservation’ groups are trying to make this area & parts of 4 states & part of Canada a BUFFALO PRESERVE. That would stop all minerals extraction.

It also would cause financial problems for the current private land owners & the counties of the sates which are covered by this huge area.

See Fall 2012 issue of Range Magazine for a complete article on this. Drillers in the area knew nothing about this. I got info to one oil company & he was flabbergasted. He had already spent over a MILLION $$$ to get up and running in the Bakken field.

Isn’t the term “game changer” a cliche? It should only be used by the very unskilled at writing anymore.

I live in a household where the TV is blasting 24/7 and people walking hard across the floor while trying to sleep downstairs.
Solution ? wear ear plugs and buy a fan.
The fan sort of drowns out the noises.
I gotten use to it since I use to work 3rd shift for over 10 years.
Oh Yeah ? buy a hypoallergenic densely stuffed goose feather down pillows... that can help drown out the noises... the problem is ? you won't be able to hear the alarm clock or telephone ringing... but who cares, as long as you got a good nights sleep.

Nope. That’s a friend’s daughter who is probably 14 years old. She could take 20 Californians befor they found her. And their whole family would be up for it!

I had someone a few years ago cooked some deer meat where there was no after taste to it,,, it was so good.
Tasted almost like regular pot roast.
