As much as Republicans would like to decry President Obama as the 2nd coming of Liberal Satan whose sole mission is to wreck the U.S. economy via some sort of socialist Jihad, the reality is that on some issues President Obama is actually more inline with that of a moderate Republican.  Granted moderate Republicans rarely [...]

Climate change is real and its man made; let’s just get that out of the way.  We’re currently giving financial incentives to oil, coal and natural gas companies to do what they do; the world has an insatiable thirst for energy and what they do is of tremendous importance.  President Obama successfully included significant funding for alternative [...]

As we wrote about HERE – domestic oil production in the U.S. is at its highest point since 1994.  We often hear about the North Dakota miracle as it relates to domestic oil production but wouldn’t ya know …. Texas is back in the oil game and big.  And notice … this take off started [...]

Class warfare permeates many areas, including the gas pump. And if our nation’s dependence on oil and petroleum products doesn’t change, the gap between rich and poor may indeed continue to widen.

This was all about gas prices which extended into American energy policy.  Americans really need to understand that America has not had a comprehensive energy policy since before Reagan; President Obama’s comprehensive approach [...]

Today – President Obama finalized new standards to increase the average standard to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. Mitt Romney called President Obama’s energy policy “extreme” as a response. Meanwhile – America’s dependence on foreign oil is at a 16 year best and for the first time since 1949 – the U.S. is a [...]

At its narrowest, the Strait is 42 kilometers wide. About 14 tankers of this size pass through daily – and they move at about half the speed of an American destroyer. Because of their mass – even unladen – they are much less maneuverable than a warship like the Porter. You could make a ship [...]
