RE: Profits and OIL DEBT
..for example..
*The car that YOU can't have in the United States!
*The 2008 FORD Fiesta
* 65 MPG/76 MPG Highway

*In the U.S., You get LESS...
*The 2012 Ford Fiesta for the United States is made in Mexico and delivers WAY LESS mileage 40 MPG Highway....WHY?

January 23, 2011
Today in email... this...

In 2011, the U.S. imported 4.1 billion barrels of petroleum accounting for 60% of the U.S. supply. The total cost of those imports was $453.6 billion. That represents an increase in cost of 34.6% over 2010 and a whopping increase of 71.8% over 2009.

In the election cycle of 2008, virtually every candidate for every federal office from both political parties made a campaign promise to enact legislation to reduce our dependence on OPEC oil. These numbers I have cited prove little has been done.

Today we're paying about $100 per barrel for foreign oil and, in the case of OPEC oil, often to nations that are hostile to our best interests. Oil prices are up when they should be going down. Demand for oil globally is down while domestic production in America is up. There's one word that describes why oil prices are up instead of down: geopolitics, much of it attributable to the seemingly never-ending turmoil in the Middle East.

Any way you cut it, America is being cheated. Energy has failed to emerge as a top-tier election year issue, despite the lingering threat to our economic recovery and our national security.

For more than four decades, every presidential candidate has said something to the effect of, "Elect me, and we'll be energy independent." That's four decades of failed promises.

(Timeout:

...this video is not from T. Boone Pickens but you have to see this to describe oil policy in the United States...


and now...back to T. Boone Pickens)

It is time we hold our political candidates accountable. After a lengthy discussion with my dad one day, he said, "Son, you are speaking in vague generalities." It's easy to think the same thing when we hear our presidential candidates talk about energy. It's time to move from vague generalities to specifics.

Tomorrow night, Barack Obama will deliver his fourth State of the Union Address as President of the United States, immediately followed by the Republican response. I hope you will listen in with me to hear whether or not either party plans to make energy a top issue in this election cycle, or if we will just continue on this path of being cheated.

The oil guys are laughing...



The fisker electric car, partially funded by 500 million in American tax payer dollars and built in ...wait for it... Finland. U.S.jobs...WTF?

  Solyndra?

Hey, at least this is an inexpensive alternative to oil... no? You mean...the average working family man's oil and electric car option to help get off oil funded by the American taxpayer and built in Finland is not a solution for the average guy?... oh wait... it is about $100,000 U.S. Dollars (and funded by the taxpayer)...WTF? WABOS!

....so this...

The U.S.     ..your money...your vote.
 

...and so if imported foreign oil and our oil policy over the years
...has no bearing on United States national security ...

...see the picture below........



...and check today's news...

 

 

Can't touch this:

European version Ford Fiesta 76 MPG.
built since 2008
 (U.S. can't have it.)

(not enough government gasoline tax collected per mile?)
 

...also from OPEC.... I mean FORD...
 

New 36-Gallon Fuel Tank on 2012 Ford F-150 EcoBoost 4x4 Lets Customers Drive Up to (about $$134.00)  756 Miles on ONE Tank of Gas  (and then you have to fill it ... about $$134.00) again.... what did that truck cost  30 - 40K?

ONE....fill up from empty on 36 gallons using unleaded  and 70% ....foreign debt oil gasoline...

.... based on, say.... Arco gasoline here locally at $3.73 per gallon.....wait for it...

$134.28 net dollars...
....to fill 'er up.... (and our government says .. no MPG solution but, more gasoline tax money per mile ...we win!)

...wake up! ...what if the price of gasoline goes up?
 ...and it will?

It is almost like they were saying....hey, what if we can just get FORD to put 36 gallon fuel tanks on their trucks, keep building the Mexican Ford Fiesta in Mexico and importing it to the U.S. as a 29 MPG city 39 MPG highway....and keep the 76 MPG diesel Ford Fiesta Econetic out of the United States ...

Electric cars use American energy dollars. Use solar. Keep electric rates low.
Make electric cars in the United States. Make electric cars profitable.
It's hard to export U.S. electricity to China. Keep energy dollars here at home.
It's a start.

POOR CHOICES

  RE: While Ford looks like it will build an electric car with electric vehicles to follow....POOR MPG automobile choices are STILL MARKETED WITH SLICK ADVERTISING to Americans who may be unaware of technologies that already exist out there, even by the same companies working a "FREE" (controlled) market.... meanwhile....THREE YEARS LATER AND THAT MUCH MORE IN DEBT OIL...

Hey America, in debt up to your A$$...  YOU GET these POOR choices. These controls make AUTO MANUFACTURERS AND YOUR GOVERNMENT MORE MONEY PER GALLON. THE UNITED STATES.. now officially ....FOLLOWERS NOT LEADERS in automotive consumption technologies offered to the purchasing public based on the technology of the world and the controlled.. poor choices and CONTROLLED-"FREE" markets....so, continue to burn MORE foreign DEBT oil (until you VOTE with YOUR wallets and demand better). 

76 MPG highway

FORD FIESTA

28 CITY/ 40 MPG highway

This video - Europe 2008

 

This video - The United States - 2011

   

..made and imported from Mexico

 Ford Fiesta released in Europe
2008!

Check the MPG! 65/76 Highway

Ford Fiesta released in the United States
2011!

Check the MPG! 28/40 highway!

(byplug comment: WOW!.... almost embarrassing when played side by side!

 so...what do you think after viewing both videos? Doesn't it make sense that if we (the United States) are going to try to burn less foreign DEBT OIL as a nation that we move to electric or other sources and bring down the DEBT....that if we should drive OIL cars, those OIL cars should get better and better mileage? (every bit helps). So, here you see that we
(the United States) are getting another POOR CHOICE based on the same company product made three years earlier in a different country. We (the United States) are getting a 2008 body style designed car in the United States in 2011.... that Europe had on the market in 2008, same body style and oil burner.... ...now made in Mexico (JOBS) and..... wait for it........
36 MPG LESS..... highway miles (AND THAT IS PER GALLON!   WTF?

WHY?
Q. Reverse incentive. Do you think our government gets TAX MONEY per gallon of gasoline? So, more gallons, more TAX revenues!  ...and foreign DEBT!.....Is the government planning for the future?....  YOUR POOR CHOICES in the United States are available with slick marketing and YOU pay more to the GOV when you drive LOW mileage vehicles and burn more DEBT oil. Weird?

A. YES. You use more gasoline. It is because YOU HAVE to BUY more gasoline (from DEBT oil sources) because YOU don't have the best choice.

Q. Is this reverse incentive the reason why the GOV talk's the talk but, no real walk?

A. MORE DEBT. MORE MARKETING. CHEERLEADERS JUMPING AND FLASHY ADVERTISING... ONE IS SEVEN ON FOOD STAMPS. Here we are, three years after the EU fiesta with 76 MPG. Demand the better 2008 Fiesta HERE IN THE U.S....76 MPG FORD Fiesta.
Demand a 100 MPG hybrid Fiesta using the EU tech!

...and one in seven Americans on Food Stamps  LINK

Please.....
VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET.
Plan. Be a true patriot.
 Dig out of personal debt and get an electric car for local commuter transportation.
Electric cars use American energy dollars.
Make electric cars in the United States. Make electric cars profitable.
It's a start.

Any suggestions to improve this web?
