Some brief facts on Oil leases i ran across recently. Like staking Gold mining claims out west. Just because you have a claim does not mean there is cost effective gold that can be recovered underneath your claim.

Oil is no sure thing

Let's make sure we all understand how offshore leasing works. The potential commercial value and the chance that a particular lease will provide a discovery of oil or gas is often just speculation at the time of bidding. The acquisition of the lease allows for control of that lease for from five to 10 years so that further evaluations can be made. Commonly subsequent work, often costing millions of dollars, leads to the conclusion that no economically viable accumulation is present.

What needs to be better understood by all of us is that the holding of a federal offshore lease doesn't indicate a certainty that oil or gas is present. It's more of a bet that it may be present, a bet that can only be made good by the investment of large sums of money. The controlling federal agency, the Minerals Management Service, has an excellent Web site at www.mms.gov. RICHARD KLECKER Damascus The writer is a retired exploration geologist.

1.When the Oil companies use the leases they have I would support off shore
but not until then.
2. Don't expect American Oil not to sell on the open market.
3. Think about it:If your raw materials have gone up and your product has
gone up and you are selling less of your product AND you HAVE RECORD PROFITS
would you increase your supply
of raw materials or build more factories so you produce more product and
make less profit.

Don't think so.

I was in line at a fast food establishment after Katrina and was talking to
an oil man about the $3
gasoline and he said 'I did not see you complain when I was getting $10 a
barrel for my oil.

And remember these are the good days. I am 64 and I expect to see $10 a
gallon b4 I check out.

Ken quoted Tommy Jefferson as saying <<government 
those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations,
perverted it into tyranny.>>


It appears we are deep into that process -- as I understand it Pelosi and
gang are so determined to prevent the "Drill Here, Drill Now" movement
from
bringing drilling offshore to a vote they turned the lights off while
Republican senators continued to speak and today I hear some kind of
"compromise" legislation that prevents drilling while showing congress is
doing *something*.  Don;t they freakin underrstand what the people want?
Lower prices and energy independence.

Geez, there's 536 morons inside the beltway - all being paid by tax
dollars
and all they do is make a show.

As far as the speed traps - the New Jersey portion of I95 used to have
toll
booths with time stamps on the tickets - rumor has it they checked the
time
to make sure you didn;t move between booths to quickly.

While he didn;t get the timing quite right when he wrote "1984" he seems
to
have the concept  pretty well covered.

We are being smothered with governmental "Help".  Either in the name of
safety or "For the Children"  It''s like LBJs "War on Poverty" - we'd be
better off giving all the poor people $1 mil each and we'd have come out
ahead.

sorry for the rant - everything seems to be going into the crapper at
once -
and the children of gov't take a recess. Not that they;d make things
better
based on past experience.

You are forgetting about the proposed use of our I-Pass/electronic
toll collection being used to calculate our speed.  If your "time"
between toll collection points averages above the set speed limit,
you will receive your tax donation certificate via mail.  One way to
beat this is to have "two" I-Passes.  You just have to remember to
switch them while "pacing" the traffic between "check points".


This was the system on the French AutoRoutes when I was over there a
few years back. No I-Pass; they just issued a paper receipt which you
presented at the next window to pay. It had the time of printing
stamped on  it. Between the toll plazas, which were about 30 KM apart,
were wonderful roadside parks with benches etc. The prevailing method
of driving was to go like Godzilla was right behind you, then pull
into les parc for a Gauloise. Once the requisite amount of time had
elapsed you resumed driving absolutely flat out all the way to the
next toll plaza.

You cannot legislate human behavior.

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government
those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations,
perverted it into tyranny.
