Obama wants a fair health care coverage for all americans... why GOP attacks this honorable goal? (842)

Yes Conrad... the wonderful people of Israel do deserve a much better leader than BIBI of urs whom have caused Israel a lot trouble and all this because he does not like president Obama and feels threatened since he knows president Obama is going to cause a real peace deal between Israel and palestinians during his turms on power and then the whole money making machine of Fear mongerers will suffor major time.

Netanyahou is a real lousy politician and absolutely bad for Israel,s very benefits... the entire ultra right winger regim of the time being in Israel is bribed and you know this as well but since they kind of help your guys banking business, you love them!

You are actually not following the reality regarding this one Dive... all GOP guys all over America who are fighting against regular americans right to have a heath care coverage no matter poor or not... have kept their own kinds of federal gov. coverage and are not giving it a way. They just "talk" you see? Your most reasonable challenge should be to find out when a Republican some body claims some thing , find out what the chup actually does in reality!

And you are not even talented enough being a Hamburger man

It is up to judges to find out... and so far not a thing

Fabulous quote ...

Crap!

Just checked out Ken Deffeyses new book. "When Oil Peaked"

I wanted to see what he says about Shale oil and Cracking.

If you do not remember Mr. Deffeyses, he is the geologist that predicted that the world's oil reserve would be consumed and that the future for the fuel was limited. It might be noted, he was a geologist for Shell oil when that was written.. Just maybe Shell benefits from the world considering oil supplies to be limited.

But to cut the chase. He stills maintain his position that the country will have a shortage. Even in light of the shale oil developments and fracking of oil wells.

So? Not sure if he is seeing the data on Shale oil that I am.
He admits that the US has vast shale fields. But thinks that they will provide a 50 year supply.

I am seeing numbers for much longer supply than that. But to quote him.

Mr. Deffeyes, on page 107 "Once you know that oil source rock exist, it is not difficult to find them on the ordinary well logs. The primary indication is the resistance of the rock to the flow of electricity. During the early 1920s, downloads electrical resistance measurement were one of the foundations that Pierre and Marcel Schlemberger used to build their company.
What a stack of ordinary shale, the oil source rocks stand out as having higher electrical resistance. A secondary help comes from a downhole radiation counter. Typically, a few parts per million of uranium are found in organic-rich source rock. The
uranium is there because the oxygen-poor environoment that preserved the organic matter also reduces water-soluble oxidzed uranium into an insoluble form.

As the map on page 102 shows, there are about twenty areas being actively explored for shale gas in the US. Halliburton estimates that total recoverable shale might be one thousand trillion cubic feet, equivalent to a fifty-year supply at our present usage rate. Gas from coal beds and shale gas represent a game changing opportunity. It won't fully solve our energy problems, but it could be a important help."

In looking at the map of located Shale oil....it is interesting to note that the following states are nearly completely underground shale oil fields. They are Michigan, Pennesylvia, New York, West Virgina. Texas is about 1/3 shale oil field. Ohio is about 1/2 Shale oil.

So far smaller find sof shale oil in Montana and the Dakotas have driven their economy into having some of the lowest unemployment figures in the country. Wyoming has significant shale oil fields in it. Smaller fields in Colorado and Utah exits. As in Missouri, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Lousiana, Mississippi, Alabama.

And I heard of finds in California that he is not showing.

Deffenes also says on page 102. "Mature oil source rocks, those that have already delivered their oil are a new and important source of natural gas. An old-fashion land rush developed to lease potentially productive areas. However, the wells are so expensive that low natural-gas prices counld make much of the area uneconomic to drill."

So we start to see the environomentist response to shale oil in Deffeyese words here. They are costly to drill(will not take down the pump price). There will be a land rush (fear mongering). It will only last for 50 years.(limit supply)

But it is a "game changing" opportunity. Nothing like talking both side of the mouth at the same time.

So my thinking? Shale oil is spread across the country. So it is already near to the markets. It needs to be refined and stored locally to give a low cost and longer term fuel source. Cost of delivery is minimized then. Helping to control the price at the pump.

Some states can easily be shale oil exporters. They have vast fields of shale oil. Fracking technology improvements in the future will reduce the production cost and increased production. Increased production when combined with our reducing consumption will reduce the number of needed wells and extend the life of the energy source.
