Drill, Baby, Drill

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
With gasoline prices rumored to be $5 per gallon thus summer,' I've wondered if it will affect my strip club habits.
But I digress. What iI wanted to talk about was what my ATF said to me tonight...

And that is?

That is if she's saying drill, drill.
It wouldn't bother me if certain excess oil profits were taxed more heavily and those funds were redirected back as refunds to taxpayers. I know what's going to happen when they start exporting our natural gas. Price increases.
I'll bet! LOL
My car is 15 years old, but it's a Honda with low miles and great gas mileage. I can fill my tank up for about $26 bones, which is great considering how high gas prices are right now. :)
So hopefully high gas prices will yield me a lot of extra cash. Some of which will of course be stuffed into some strippers' g-strings eventually.
The earth only has so much oil. Accept it. The really cheap to get oil has been taken. We are now on the more difficult to get oil. Drilling deep in the gulf and in Artic climes is not cheap. They need higher prices to make it work, and when that is done comes the really expensive to get oil. Besides it will take many years for a new oil field to reach supplies.
What will bring down prices, and do it sooner, is a reduction in demand pressures from conservation combined with a reduction in supply pressures from alternative energy sources such as biodiesel, ethanol, solar, and wind. The oil companies want to complain about 'radical environmentalists' but what they really fear is competing energy sources.
The recent fire at the big Cherry Point refinery in Washington is also not good news for gas prices for consumers. US refineries are mostly pricing their crude feedstock off Brent prices ($121/bbl) already. So, restricted refinery capacity? Rising crude prices caused by geopolitical uncertainties? Idiot political decisions in DC? Brace yourselves for shocking gas prices very soon.
I have excellent hedges in place for about 75% of my current production until Dec/2013. And, I am drilling exploration wells as fast as I can drive my drilling contractor. Right now, motorhead, my motto is most definitely:
DRILL, BABY, DRILL.
Would someone now please do something about natural gas prices?
Gasoline is around $4.25 in Los Angeles and San Fransicko.
"I can easily walk the 7.7 miles to my favorite strip club."
In Detroit? Yikes!
Well, if a certain member of this board would quit drilling dry holes...sheesh!
Ben Bernanke: Wrote his Phd on fighting The Great Depression. Selected by president Bush in 2005 to replace Alan Greenspan, nominated for a 2nd term early by Obama. Evidence the finance industry controls both political parties = he's doing exactly what they want: bailing out the financial system via cheap dollars on the backs of the taxpayer. The collateral effect? Cheap dollars mean high oil and gas prices, with spillover into higher food and service prices. This in turn pisses off strippers leading to price increases (see Brad's Brass raising their famed $10 per dance to $12 and now $20, a doubling in two years...) Ben Bernanke: The enemy of the strip club!
vm,
From $3.69 to $3.89. When I used to fill my first car, I had to "squeeze" in $5 TOTAL!!! Bike these days is over $16 to fill.
And the car back then used Sunoco 260.
In Detroit? Yikes!
Steve229, thanks for your concern. But my favorite club is in Inkster. I would have to walk through some ugly commercial districts but no really dangerous areas.
If you really want a "political" discussion, how about How may republican delegates will be at the Tampa Strip Clubs during their convention later this year
No one has or will force you to participate in ANY discussion, here.
To answer your question, fewer then will be at Baby Dolls, Club Nikki's,
Club Onyx, Crazy Horse, Daisy Dooks, Gentlemen's Club, Girls Next Door, Gold Club, the Leather & Lace clubs, Men's Club, Paper Doll Lounge, Silver Fox, and Twin Peeks. I think I would like to have the cigar concessions at the above clubs.
You are absolutely right. Plus all politicians, whether liberal or conservative, will happily attack strip clubs and their patrons for the sake of a few votes.
On the serious discussion side, there's also the matter that price-at-the-pump for MOTOR FUELS (gasoline/diesel) would not be that greatly affected by increased domestic drilling short-term. It is even more affected by shutdowns of refining capacity, production policy clusterfucks like Keystone(and as the saying says, never attribute to malicious conspiracy what can be explained by folly), and rapidly expanded demand in the billion-people countries. Besides - average US gas price was $4.12 in July of 08, since it has gone down then back up then down and now up again, so it hitting and widely passing $5 by 2012 should faze nobody. IT'S NEVER GOING TO BE CHEAP AGAIN, WE GOTTA LIVE WITH THAT.
And in any case even if you're drilling and tapping the domestic sources, oil and its products are traded in open world markets so unless you subsidize domestic consumption(like the OPEC countries do) you end up with not that much less of a before-tax base price for motor fuel (and remember, oil is used for other, often more valuable purposes - synthetic chemicals). One good string of mines across Hormuz and next morning you're paying four bits more per gallon no matter where that gas came from.
