Carbon taxes. The new Nigerian scam.

What a crock, ain’t it? Our SOCIALIST federal government hard at work, stealing the nation’s wealth and redistributing it for POWER AND CONTROL.

The 'animals' faux-argument doesn't work so well in shale country. It's halfway (or more) a moonscape to start, and most animals I saw in the shales, to my observation in 1978, were quite smart enough to be just passing through. It is NOT a nice area in which to live. For one thing, unless the animal in question has the digestive tract of a billygoat, food is a major problem.

Yep- that's why the new CO regulations focused on protecting the prairie dog nesting season - no drilling for three months while the prairie dogs have their babies. And while they're busy protecting them on that end, all the cities and towns around here are busy exterminating them because they all carry the bubonic plague.

No lie !

“It is NOT a nice area in which to live.”

Oh, so it is similar to ANWR.

I shouldn’t doubt you for a single moment, m’friend. There are absolutely no lies/excuses, no matter how ludicrous, that the enviromarxists will not employ in order to stop energy production.

[SAJ]

Nope. It’s much, much rockier. Never been to ANWR, but from the photos I’ve seen, it appears to be a cold climate desert, very flat with minimal vegetation.

I don't really see any good argument for not using our resources. I live in a secluded area that a drill rig would upset neighbors but when they started getting money for the oil they would shut up and spend the money. If there was any oil I would have a well in my back yard and try to figure out what I wanted to buy next. The wild game would come back after the noise quit. I can and have slept through am oil pump.

Catering to the will of an eco minority is tyranny.

“Catering to the will of an eco minority is tyranny”

and failure to “get off our foreign oil dependency” is paying for the WOT on BOTH ENDS!

How dumb is that!

[SAJ]

That’s very well put. WTG!

...is paying for the WOT on BOTH ENDS!

I am a gearhead, WOT to me means WIDE OPEN THROTTLE.
