Joe Madison on radio talking about oil in Alaska that could bring prices down to 1:40 a gallon

[bigdarryl]

Saying the government doesn't want to drill the oil. Leslie Williams is doing a lecture on this

[dipsydoodle]

1. Given the cost

it will take to get that oil out of the ground that is a truly absurd figure. I can only assume the person who said that to be a halfwit.

[bigdarryl]

4. listen to the damn show and you would find out what he's talking about

Madison doesn't bring up false topics and usually does his home work before he does a segment on his show. Not like these wing nuts who get on and lie about everything

[charlie]

6. You listened to the damn show

How about a detail or two?

[bigdarryl]

7. I'm listening right NOW!!!! XM 169

[charlie]

8. No details, then?

Okay, suit yourself.

[Warren Stupidity]

2. Right.

So I'm guessing Joe is talking out of his ass. And along the way falling for the rightwing 'damn librul tree hugging algor hippies are keeping us from all that cheap laskan oil' meme.

[charlie]

3. There isn't enough oil there to lower it a nickel

Not unless he's talking about that super-secret Gull Island megafield that only intrepid internet sleuths know about.

[Vinca]

5. Funny, everyone else says it will take 10 years and lower the

cost per barrel by $2.00. It's not supply and demand that's driven the price so high, it's unregulated speculation.

[JoFerret]

9. I suggest getting the facts

from other sources.

[bluerum]

10. Your will never see gas at $1.40 at gallon again. Once you factor in the

land give-aways, tax breaks and subsidies it will probably end up costing average joe taxpayer $8.00 a gallon - all to make sure that the oil corpo executives can afford to hire cleaning staffs for their yachts.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

11. Not to mention the huge jump in demand due to the industrialization of

China

[dkf]

12. Yup...its China China China.

[Barack_America]

22. And India India India.

Both with populations large enough to keep oil prices climbing forever.

[Clark2008]

23. Sure we will.... as soon as we all stop driving gasoline-powered vehicles

[a kennedy]

13. I'm listening to him now too......

very, very interesting.

[a kennedy]

15. Here's the book he's talking about.....

16. Hah, I thought so

Gull Island. The El Dorado of internet sleuthers.

[symbolman]

14. He has no idea what he's talking about..

I lived in Alaska for ten years, prospected for Uranium by helicopter for two summers for the Dept of Energy in ANWR and most of the top half of AK.. I worked at a CoreLab where the oil companies sent their drilling for inspection by geologists, and in case you didn't know the oil up there is garbage for the most part, Shale Oil, hard to get, nothing like the sweet crude in the middle east..

Anyone with a brain knows that if they pumped ALL of it out of that state, it would supply the US with maybe two years of gas.. Maybe..

The person is an idiot, and I would personally love to take him into the pristine beauty I lived in in our mobile camps moving across the face of the Slope.. And Feed Him To A Bear.

Such bullshit.

[liberal N proud]

17. Someone correct me if I am wrong...

A few weeks ago there was an article posted here indicated that the oil in Alaska would lower the price of oil by $.75/barrel, 5 years from now.

[a kennedy]

18. Mr. Williams suggests we read this book too:

[chyjo]

19. I remember back in 2003

when talking heads were talking about how the war in Iraq would lead to cheap gas.................

[Doctor_J]

20. He's lying

so what's new?

[LiberalFighter]

21. Any oil that is taken out in Alaska does not go to the U.S. markets.
