This administration's Green policies and how they affect Oil/Nat-Gas/Coal...

You realize that Wikipedia cites sources, right? The section ez linked is data provided by BP.

Or did you not even click the link and look before making your uninformed, comment?

Data provided by BP. Say it slow, and try to keep from laughing. I managed to do it twice.

If the government would back off and let the free market run, we would have the least expensive energy on the planet. America has always been innovative enough to develop ways of doing thing, and private businesses who offer the best, least expensive products come to the forefront without government intervention. We have about 200 years of oil in the ground in America today but not a new refinery in 40 years to use it. Why do we absolutely have to have an alternative solution nailed down by 2020 or we will all be taxed out of existence?

The last time we let the free market develope energy resourses unchecked, we got JD Rockefeller and Standard Oil. That didnt work so good.

Do a google search on EPA and Coal Burning Power Plants and you can easily see what the government is doing to the coal industry. If the government and the EPA has their ways then we all need to consider what our electric bills are going to look like in the next few years.

its my understanding that it is private land drilling etc that has helped the oil companies with their profit, and that all the feds ever do is get in the way with regulation after regulation no matter who is in charge <- ok that second part is just me speculating. :-) I will have to find some sources I haven't gone to find any just stuff off the top of my head.
I do have to comment on the wikipedia comments though. Schools will not allow ANYTHING from wikipedia to be cited as a resource for any reports etc. soooo that should tell you how reliable wikipedia is, I mean one minute you may read fact and the next I may hit the same page and read fiction. Im not saying there are not other reliable sources out there I just wouldn't hedge my bets on wiki.

For the record, any statement becomes fact by enough people agreeing said statement.. Hence so many scientific theories/fields that state fact instead of theory.

Many plants have already been shut down. 57 coal burning power plants are scheduled to shut down this year and a total of 175 plants in the next four years. This is what the government is doing to the coal fired power plants. Pretty easy to see.

We hafta move fwd. I mean we used to burn whale fat, hydro electric, then coal, then kerosene, gasoline, oil, NG, Nuclear. Maybe its just coals turn to go the way of whale fat.

OK, please link me to the statistical review of world energy that you use that is the infallible word of God.

What the hell do people on the internet want out of studies, reviews, and published papers? Nobody else in the field of energy econ has ever reviewed or analyzed the BP statistical review. One of you guys on OSA should be the first to do it.

Say what?
How many people does it take to make a fact? Is it by how many people say it, or is it done by percentages?
