| A grime milestone was reached as the price for a barrel of oil closed above $129 a barrel for the first time, Tuesday. The significance of that number may be lost on most, but it is significant and here's why: On September 12, 2001, crude oil closed at $29 a barrel... the day after the attacks of 9/11. While the U.S. Stock & Mercantile markets may have been closed in the U.S., the rest of the world went on without us. The price of oil rose only slightly, up just $1.55 from the day before. Oil has now risen an additional $100 a barrel since 9/11. If you were a Republican, you might stop there and exonerate President Bush by blaming current oil prices on "9/11". But exactly 18 months later on March 11, 2003, the price of oil had climbed a mere $9 to just $37 a barrel a little over a week before the invasion of Iraq. 9/11 had NOTHING to do with the meteoric rise in gas prices that we see today. As I noted just last month, when Texas Governor George W. Bush was still running for President in 2000, the price of gasoline hit a high of $1.49/gallon. Truckers threatened to go on strike over the high price of diesel fuel, and a petulant candidate Bush was telling everyone that if he were President, he'd tell OPEC to "open up the spigot" and increase the supply of oil to bring down high gas prices. ![]() There are a number of things Bush can do to PERMANENTLY drop the price of oil/fuel. I say "PERMANENTLY", because pathetic quick fixes like "halting the flow of oil into the U.S. strategic reserve", like President Bush did this past week, not knowing what else to do after the Saudi's turned him down flat, are not long-term solutions. ![]() First off, stop devaluing the dollar by printing billions of worthless greenbacks to pay interest on the exploding National Debt (..clip..) Second, like just about everyone else, you probably noticed the price of gasoline fell dramatically just before the 2006 mid-term elections. (..clip..) $75/barrel oil and $3 gas was almost unthinkable in 2003. That was $54/barrel ago. ![]() ($4 a gallon gas in Florida) |

Source: CNN Money Futures surge after a government report shows a surprise drop in crude and gasoline stockpiles. NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Oil prices shattered records Wednesday - shooting over $133 a barrel - after the government said crude and gasoline stockpiles decreased last week, surprising analysts who were expecting an increase. U.S. light crude for July delivery settled at $133.17 a barrel, up $4.19, on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prior to the 10:30 a.m. ET report, oil was down 29 cents to $128.69. "There is a tremendous amount of fear and greed driving this market," said Stephen Schork, publisher of industry newsletter The Schork Report. "This is a runaway train. I don't think the fundamentals justify the runup." Earlier Wednesday, oil prices soared past $130 a barrel for the first time amid continuing supply concerns and a weakening dollar. The contract retreated just before the government data were released. Read more: http://money.cnn.com/2008/05/21/markets/oil_eia/index.h... |

| Do you know all the oil in Anwar will only power the US for 90 days? We consumer 19 million barrels of oil a day The supreme irony, however, was that the Bush supporters here rigidly supported the continued filling of the SPR (the Federal Government takes oil into the SPR in lieu of collecting leasing fees for oil leases on public land, and the SPR is as full as it has ever been and at 97% capacity), so I guess they are conflicted thinking its OK to drill for it (even if it isn't the solution to our near or long-term energy needs), and it is OK, then, to turn around and inject it right back into underground caverns because you might need that oil in the future, but it isn't OK to allow reserves to be kept in a natural state for some unexplainable reason. Further reading: ANWR is located on the northern coast of Alaska, due east of both Prudhoe Bay, the largest oil field ever discovered in the United States, and NPRA (Figure 1.) Surveys conducted by the USGS suggest that between 5.7 and 16.0 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil8 are in the coastal plain area of ANWR, with a mean estimate of 10.4 billion barrels, divided into many fields.9 This estimate includes oil resources in Native lands and State waters out to a 3-mile boundary within the coastal plain area. The mean estimated size of oil resources in the Federal portion of the ANWR coastal plain is 7.7 billion barrels. In comparison, the estimated volume of technically recoverable, accessible, unproved oil in the rest of the United States is 105 billion barrels, as of January 1, 2002.10 "The enthusiasm of government officials about ANWR exceeds that of industry because oil companies are driven by market forces...and the evidence so far about ANWR is not promising." In December of 2004, Lee R. Raymond, the chief executive of Exxon Mobil, said simply, "I don't know if there is anything in ANWR or not." Said Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton in an interview last weekend: "[oil companies] can produce energy in any place in the world. They are not the strong proponents of opening ANWR." ------- Norton, in talking point mode, calls ANWR a "national security" issue. But even the optimistic estimates of what lies beneath aren't exciting enough to support fantasies of oil independence. The Department of Energy estimates that, when ANWR oil first comes to market a decade after drilling operations start, Alaska's new bounty will reduce America's oil imports by a grand total of four percentage points. ANWR has also been pitched as a deficit saving measure, a suggestion promoted by Sen. Stevens, whose recent belt-tightening efforts include bringing Alaska over $1 billion in pork, and Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) of $230 million $1 billion in pork, and Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) of $230 million Bridge to Nowhere fame. ("I won't jump off of a bridge if we don't win [on ANWR]" Young recently remarked, days before he was officially deprived of an eponymous bridge to jump off.) For a party known to be bad with numbers, the numbers here are particularly suspect-- a supposed $2.5 billion in leases, an extremely optimistic projection that represents over 60 times the historic average for land leases in the area. |

Excerpts below from: McClatchy Washington Bureau | 05/23/2008 | Here're the savings from Arctic drilling — 75 cents a barrel Posted on Thursday,May 22,2008 Here're the savings from Arctic drilling — 75 cents a barrel By Erika Bolstad | McClatchy Newspapers WASHINGTON — If Congress were to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling, crude oil prices would probably drop by an average of only 75 cents a barrel, according to Department of Energy projections issued Thursday. ![]() ![]() ![]() The report, which was requested in December by Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, found that oil production in the refuge "is not projected to have a large impact on world oil prices." But the report also finds that opening ANWR could have other benefits, particularly in Alaska, where tapping the resources in the Arctic refuge could extend the lifespan of the trans-Alaska pipeline. It estimates that if Congress agreed to open ANWR this year, Alaskan oil could hit the market in about 10 years. "I'm coming away from it saying that this is yet another an indicator that opening ANWR is important to this country and to our energy future," said Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska. ![]() The report was unveiled Thursday by the Department of Energy's research arm, the Energy Information Administration and came a day after the Department of Interior said that 60 percent of federal lands that hold potential sources of natural gas and oil are closed to leasing. Even as Republicans have renewed their push, Democrats have warned that there just aren't the votes to open the wildlife refuge to drilling. Congress couldn't muster enough votes to open up the refuge when Republicans controlled the House and Senate. Democrats say it simply won't happen while they're in charge. The next four years are likely to offer grim prospects, too. All three of the presidential candidates oppose drilling in ANWR, said Athan Manuel, director of lands protection for the Sierra Club. "The thing that high gas prices has done is make people mad at the oil companies, and not mad at environmentalists for protecting places like the Arctic Refuge," Manuel said. However, even if drilling has a negligible effect on prices at the pump, opening ANWR to production has other positive effects for Alaska, said Philip Budzik, one of the authors of the report. For one, it keeps the Alaska pipeline operational past 2030, Budzik said, which means that oil producers might continue to explore smaller, less lucrative North Slope prospects simply because they have a way of getting their oil out of the state. That means oil production will continue to be a mainstay of the Alaska economy. Also, the Department of Energy found that unlike previous reports on ANWR, U.S. oil consumption is projected to decline, in part because of recently enacted fuel efficiency standards. High oil prices are expected to slacken demand, too. Still, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that the Paris-based International Energy Agency is projecting that worldwide oil supplies will struggle to keep up with demand. The Journal reported that the IEA is expected to release a report this fall that says worldwide demand for oil will exceed 116 million barrels a day, up from the current 87 million. Some analysts suggest that the IEA report will spur more interest in previously off-limits domestic prospects. ![]() ![]() ![]() | |

Day after 9/11 2001... $1.55 increase = a 5.6% increase in one trading day... You are a FOOL if you think 5.6% increase in a single day is "only slightly" If you compound 5.6% daily from $29 barrel on 9/12/2001 to now.... $642 a barrel... oh, my mistake.. that happens on Jan 14, 2005, roughly halfway until now.... at 5.6% daily... June 3, 2008 is $1257 a barrel.... Your $129 barrel would have occurred on Mar 20, 2002 at 5.6% daily... So before you try spinning shit as "slightly"... go to school and learn some basic math and analysis first. You are a joke. | |
