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 ...

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.
