In advance of President Barack Obama’s energy speech at Georgetown University, a top oil and natural gas industry leader called on the Obama Administration to abandon its policies “to defer, delay and deny access to domestic resources of oil and natural gas.” In a statement to reporters during a media conference call this morning, American [...]

Forget Need for Energy Security, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar’s Focuses on ‘Environmental Justice’
March 17th, 2011 · No Comments
Thanks to a conservative friend who works for the Department of the Interior, I’ve been able to share Interior Secretary Ken Salazar‘s departmental messages — on diversity, a Blacks In Government Training and LGBT Pride Month as well as three anti-drilling messages (July 15, 2010, May 13, 2010 and May 6, 2010) — during the [...]

‘Gas Strike’ Fueled by Emotion and Ignorance (Update)
March 10th, 2011 · 9 Comments
This morning, I came across a Facebook event, titled “GAS STRIKE,” that nearly a half-million people have signed up to “attend” today. Sadly, their effort — which involves boycotting gas stations for one day — is a misguided effort driven more by emotion and ignorance than common sense. Oil companies produce the oil and make [...]

Future of Drilling in Gulf of Mexico in Jeopardy
January 25th, 2011 · 2 Comments
Long-term Gulf of Mexico deepwater development could be seriously jeopardized if permitting timelines are extended, according to a new analysis by Wood Mackenzie. The study projects nearly one-third of U.S. deepwater production could be rendered uneconomic, which could significantly impact deepwater production, resulting in less energy production, less investment and less revenue to government. “The [...]

CBS News Airs Hit Piece on Natural Gas Industry
November 15th, 2010 · 2 Comments
If you’re inclined to compare drilling for natural gas to using a straw to sip soda pop from a can, you’re sorely misguided. In reality, extracting natural gas from Piceance Basin wells is more comparable to standing inside a freezer and trying to get frozen soda pop from a can that has no pop-top opening. [...]

Story of Four Not-So-Famous Brothers Inspires
November 10th, 2010 · 6 Comments
One of the most popular stories about members of the “Greatest Generation” is that of “The Fighting Sullivans” who died aboard the U.S.S. Juneau during the Battle of Guadalcanal. That story is heroic, in part, because it has to do with five brothers who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country during World War II. [...]

Offshore Drilling Moratorium No Longer Necessary
July 21st, 2010 · No Comments
Another reason why we don’t need a moratorium on offshore drilling: nobody else is going to be taking risks during the next six months like BP did three months prior to the April 20 Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf of Mexico that left 11 dead and created one of the worst ecological disasters in [...]
