Kudos to Joe Biden
Really!
Drill, baby, drill. The world needs energy.
That nasty thing called ‘reality’ rears its ugly head again.

Reality...
>U.S. Proven Oil Reserves...44.4 Bbls
>U.S. Oil Consumption...7.3 Bbls/yr
>U.S. Oil Imports...2.2 Bbls/yr
>"Willow" Reserves (est.)...0.6 Bbls
Do the math, Nigel...even if we were to suddenly TRIPLE our oil reserves, we need to bring Nuclear and Renewable energy sources on-line ASAP....denying this reality isn't helping.
Your 'Reality' is based on a US Oil Industry in handcuffs due to White House anti fossil fuel policy
.......Let them loose from all the phony restrictions and they will flood the country and we will be a substantial exporter again.
The data comes from the Oil Industry, lmc...we've been through this before...do a search...

One does not need a Search to know that our Oil industry is in handcuffs..

Even if one chooses to bury one's head in 'tar sands', it won't stop reality from affecting them...
even British Petroleum puts out a worldwide estimate for years of proven reserves remaining at current global consumption rates...that number is....47 years.
just waiting for those approvals to be granted. Reservoirs out west would be smart, too, so califor
nia can capture the multiple years or water being dropped from the sky this winter
re: Reservoirs...read the linked Stanford U. paper...then get back to us with your plan...
as for oil reserves...the oil industry estimate for all of the 'ANWR' reserves would yield ~ 6 months more...
I'm not making any of this up...this is EIA data...not mine...
Again...even were we to TRIPLE our Proven Reserves, that gives us ~21 years of oil reserves without imports at current consumption rates...how comfortable does that make you feel?...change is absolutely necessary...the sooner, the better, since there are many other critical uses for FFs aside from incinerating them (e.g. plastics, fertilizers, etc, etc.)

You cited an article that already is outdated. Reservoirs are again healthy, and there would be
water for years if they captured it. Underground is a option as are valleys in the mountains but those fish keep getting in the way.

From your own link...
---------------------
"We were thankful for that water that we got in our local reservoirs in the state reservoirs as well," said Valley Water spokesperson Matt Keller, "But we're really hoping that that rain would continue all the way through spring."
Until we know how things pan out, not just this Spring but in the years to come, WE CAN'T SAY THAT WE'RE ANYWHERE CLOSE TO BEING OUT OF THE DROUGHT. (emphasis mine)

I have the sinking feeling that this won't register with you...at all ;-)...
40 years of stupid is as stupid does.

It's not as though CA hasn't gone deep into reservoir building...as the Stanford paper
explains, it's time for a new approach...for many reasons...read and learn...
not deep enough. apparently.

You really enjoy pushing on ropes...don't you?...it's never going to happen...read the article
and you'll understand at least 'Why'...
The Linkster
What a flaming *sshole you are
LOL...that coming from someone who refuses to educate himself over an issue he's so dearly
concerned about...if you disagree with anything in that Stanford review, please explain why...otherwise, stop making a fool of yourself.
You only link one-sided content, ignoring all other possibilities
And then you lack any ability to apply logic to any given topic to form an opinion that you didn't get from somewhere else. It's why you assumed I watch Fox News, because you can't comprehend a scenario where someone comes to their own conclusions.
This is the nicest possible way to point out that you're an incredible idiot and have no reasonable standing to pass judgement on anyone else.
I constantly ask for other posters to point out errors in my postings and links, yet that
rarely happens...but when it does, like with the recent debate over Baron's dismissal of my NEJM Editorial link with Jakers, he ended up having to agree with me that Baron flat out lied and I was right....
This offer remains...and to you, especially...if you believe you can prove me wrong about any position I've taken, please confront me...but bring facts and data to prove it...pure "Opinion" is worthless.
I showed the fallacy in your rural gun point but you refused to apologize for being so wrong
