The History Of The Pennsylvania Oil Boom And Petroleum Industry

Hillary Clinton is saying as president she would defend any nation in the Middle East with U.S. Forces should they be attacked by Iran, including the oil producing nations (OPEC)! This has us in trouble in Iraq, why would Hillary Clinton want to expand the same mistake George W. Bush has made and now has America in a quagmire, losing American lives and American treasure? America cannot intervene in every Middle East war or conflict, America is not the policeman of the world, the U.S. Constitution forbids intervention in foreign affairs of other countries! Hillary said, she would respond militarily for any attack on a Persian Gulf state…Hillary would not have this authority without Congressional approval as U.S. president, this is part of our systems checks and balances! Why did Hillary make such a statement in the Pennsylvania debate? She is advocating military action on behalf of dictatorships and foreign nations who do not have democracy and use America’s military to protect them?
Hillary already said, Israel, but others in addition to that nation in the Persian Gulf region!
Beanie: You need to read the U.S Constitution, we are a sovereign nation, not the world police or military! Saudi Arabia sells us oil, but they also sell oil to our enemies! Should Iran attack Saudi Arabia or any of the other oil producing nations, a Congressional approval is needed to go to war, otherwise America is a dictatorship! Although George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were wrong on the reasons why they went to war with Iraq, they still had to get congressional approval! They is no umbrella coverage…each act of war must be approved separately and at different times by the u.S. Congress or it would be an illegal act. Middle East countries can defend themselves, spend their money to do so. America is going broke and why should American service personnel fight and die for Saudi Oil when they do not even allow women "Equal rights"! Hillary Clinton would not be allowed to drive a vehicle in Saudi Arabia, women are forbidden…so young American women are going to fight and die for them?
Hillary Clinton will not even be president, this is how foolish all these scenerio’s she is giving about umbrella military coverage is, not to mention anti- U.S. Constitutional! The presidency will be either McCain or Obama!
Monica K: You sound right…you make the most sense on my question! I hate to burst these people’s bubble, but America has its hands full with our two war fronts…we do not want war with Iran at this time! Anyone who knows the score on that nation, they are much more powerful than Iraq was and their military is much more larger! America’s military is stretched to the max, now and our troops & equipment is wearing out faster than it can be replaced. America does not have the military size it needs to address multiple war fronts unless its going to use its nuclear arsenal! When I served we had over 2 million more troops, than America does now!

We have to remember that Hillary Clinton’s candidacy is completely focus group driven. She wants to win over some Republican or independent voters who have been taken in by the Bush machine spitting out the malignment of Iran, even though the National Intelligence Estimate has come out saying there is no threat. Hillary knows through her focus groups that if she drops a few lines that sounds like she would be willing to ‘bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran’ that she may win those Republican or independent swing votes. So she invented a scenario where she could justifiably air out those sentiments, which could only be a scenario where Iran is cast as the terrible agressor. (When look at the reality, who has been the terrible agressor in the mideast? Who has de-stabilized the region? Bush used us to do that!) These debates are only stages that are looked at as opportunitie to manipulate voters–most of the time.

Do you agree with me?
Rising tax on oil is a great thing it will deter us from using our cars and there fore benefit us as a civilistaion as we will be able to susstain our living

To secure our safety as a race we need to spread out across the univers. Now! After the boom of space explorations during th 70’s i would have thought that 30 years on we would at leats have a perminent base on the moon

The native americans had the best philosiphy. People are no more important than the mountains and trees.

Ya your crazy…man hasn’t been on the moon that is hog wash.

I want to know if a certain well is producing and if this is public information where I should go

You might check the Texas Railroad commission web site but it will probably be a real pain. The other solution might be to check with Dwight’s Energy Data or Petroleum Information Services though it may cost you something it is usually up to date within 3 months or so.

I’ve just been curious if hitting a sonic boom on ground level is physically possible. If it is, then what would happen to the ground beneath the object hitting the sonic boom?

They made a rocket propelled car that ended up breaking the sound barrier. (look it up)

I’m not too sure a bout the specific details, but you could definitely start there. ^_^

In the 1970’s some genius decided that us dollars would no longer be backed by gold. With pressure Oil was sold on the international market by US dollars, this has become to be known as petro-dollars. The euro has flourished as a currency, overtaking the US dollar in a growing number of countries. Our own debt has resulted in a weakened dollar and higher oil costs. Will the US dollar become insignificant globally if oil states shift to the Euro? Would our economy collapse?

I am thinking depression would ensue as a result of the shift to the Euro. Selloffs of t-bills would compound the problem….but I am not an economist.

If the Euro were to actually become the new petro-currency it would be bad for the US, but would not actually collapse our economy.

It would mean a much weaker dollar (higher costs of imports, etc) that would certainly not be good for us, but would not be world-ending.

The real important thing though, is that it is not going to happen. There are too many places (including the central banks of many foreign governments, China at the top), that have too many of our T-bills to even want to begin paying for their oil in anything but a dollar. If they do that, and the dollar falls through the floor, all of their investments fall through the floor too. It is a bit of a self-perpetuating cycle, and could lead to some very dire circumstances, but for the time being, no one is running from the dollar any time soon.

This question is for those that were on the ‘Evil Oil Companies" band wagon in the last year. Are these EOC’s now lowering their prices? Why wouldnt they just keep prices high and still make "absurd profits"?

Well that is exactly why OPEC ministers held an emergency meeting last week. It is their contention that oil price decreases in recent weeks are beginning to affect their economies, thus they will decrease production, thus lowering the supply which should increase the price per barrel. Part of the reason that the price of oil dropped is that speculators got caught up in the economic meltdown as the financial institutions began to fail.

I’ve heard that you can increase the interval between oil changes if you use a synthetic oil, but no one has been able to tell me precisely how much the interval can be expanded. I have a 2003 Pontiac Bonneville, 3.8l 6 cylinder engine, 128k miles. The car manufacturer maintenance recommends every 7500 miles.

I go 10,000 when using synthetic oil. Easier to keep track of the oil change intervals.

Being doing it since new and now with 140k. Engine is running like it’s still new. Doesn’t burn any oil, well maybe 3/4 quart after 10k.

And I have read some people that had their oil tested after 10,000 mile and the properties of the oil was still in good.

Sarah was making a campaign speech and said McCain/Palin have a plan for "energy independence." Answer: clean coal. Also that there is as much clean coal in Pennsylvania as there is oil in the entire Middle East.

Also that Joe Biden opposes going this route.

How much is she right and how much is she wrong?

He did said that, No to clean coal, he also said that they are better alternatives, i think so to.

Currently there are 1771 drilling rigs working in the US and about another 600 in Canada. The number of rigs varies with season, but overall has remained fairly constant oner the last 20 years or so. It has lots do do with oil and natural gas prices, and investment climate.
