I would take a Democrat for president if he were from Montana right now, he sure as shit is better than what the Republicans have offered up. But hey he is just too conservative in his energy choices for both parties.

Lindsey Williams seems fairly credible and the historical events tie together, plus the oil exec collaboration. Has anybody heard this from other sources? Are other OPEC nations also required to buy our debt or only Saudi?

The Energy Non-Crisis

“Lindsey Williams, who has been an ordained Baptist minister for 28 years, went to Alaska in 1971 as a missionary. The Transalaska oil pipeline began its construction phase in 1974, and because of Mr. Williams’ love for his country and concern for the spiritual welfare of the “pipeliners,” he volunteered to serve as Chaplain on the pipeline, with the subsequent full support of the Alyeska Pipeline Company. Because of the executive status accorded to him as Chaplain, he was given access to information documented in his eye opening book, The Energy Non-Crisis.
After numerous public speaking engagements in the western states, certain government officials and concerned individuals urged Mr. Williams to put into print what he saw and heard, stating that they felt this information was vital to national security. Mr. Williams firmly believes that whoever controls energy controls the economy. Thus, The Energy Non-Crisis.”

BOTTOM LINE
“He said it’s important to understand that the American people—at the hands of insider operatives such as Henry Kissinger—have been put into a terrible bind when it comes to oil. According to Williams, a Kissinger-brokered deal during the 1970s called on the United States to buy large quantities of oil from major overseas oil-producing states, which started the current gluttonous addiction to imported oil.

“In exchange for our pledge to buy this oil, these distant oil-producing nations, including Arab states, would buy U.S. government bonds to prop-up the U.S. dollar and help the United States engage in the nonstop deficit spending that created a national debt so large that it defies comprehension.”

He ahas not been bad as a Democrat… with his concervative veiws I still wonder why he is a d-rat

Couple days ago I posted that I am homeschooling my 9, 16 and 17 yr old kids. I use this sight for current events.

It is really good, thanks to all of you!

Anybody know the avg. price per acre of land in Montana?

Drill

Drill, Drill, Drill, Build, Build, Build!!

One of the things that prevents the investment to bring these formations into production is the uncertainty in the market price of oil. Production costs in Saudi Arabia, for instance, are on the order of $20/bbl as indicated by their continued profitability in the 1980’s when a lot of world production was shut down due to low prices. As long as the Saudi’s/OPEC can threaten to move the market down with increased production, it is hard to justify the risk of drilling an expensive formation.

From what I understand, the field is a single, relatively flat, 5-10 ft thick pay zone that is 8000 feet down in difficult strata that tends to push the drill bit around quite a bit.
