[...] used it, too. But it’s inelegant, inaccurate and laced with hidden assumptions, which I detailed earlier. My congressman used this data to tout the GOP’s “The No More Excuses Energy [...]

Thank you, Jeff. And I couldn’t agree more with your last sentence.

Dr. Denny,

I’ve made some inquiries with some of my conservative friends, and will get back to you. George Will was interested, but when he saw that hatchet hob, politely declined. Some friends over at the National Review are looking over the site and will get back to me. After they let me know, yea or nay, I’ll forward a list to Dr. Slammy or Jim Booth, as they are the only ones on this list with whom I have a valid e-mail address. If you let a prominent conservative post a guest article, please edit the responses carefully, as ad hominem attacks and flames aren’t befitting of a site of this nature..

Fred, that is something the ditto heads don’t understand.
They cannot wrap their small minds around the concept of a “Global Market”.
If the US drills now all the oil will go to China.
If the US drills China will boost it’s subsidies back up and soon their annual consumption of oil will exceed the US.
Once our oil is gone, it is gone forever!
I say we do not drill anymore in the US until the oil is Nationalized, this way it will only be used in the US and not by China.
As long as we can still buy oil from the Mideast there is NO reason to drill for more oil domestically, since it will do nothing to improve our situation.

I got the same letter from Trent Franks in Arizona, so I guess this is a coordinated effort.

Love the delusion. Also, to solve the oil problem, you don’t keep using oil. That’s like curing a heroin addict by injecting him with more heroin. But all’s in the name of saving US oil capitalism.

How about starting by having all oil pump in the US, stay in the US. As it is know, much of the Alaskan oil goes to Japan.

You Libs just dont get it. If you vote Republican, gas will not just immediately be free, but they will pay you $1.10 per gallon to use it!

Praise Jesus!

Now I can keep driving my Hummer to Church.

Can’t people go to jail for stuff like what Rep. Kuhl is doing?

Jeff:

Thanks for your comment. If you have in mind some particular conservatives, by all means pass on some names.

I loved reading Kuhl’s bill. It was forwarded to me from a big energy trader friend of mine, and we both laughed our asses off. Neither party gets the geo-realities of the oil market, or economic implications of any market for that matter. The government bureaucrats just don’t realize that markets are so much bigger than governments.

I was thinking the other day that y’all should invite some conservative authors over to this site. Discussion could occur in the spirit of Franklin, and ideas could be exchanged and debated without malice or rancor. I’ve noticed some conservative blogs have been including liberal articles, and the mood has been spirited, yet very polite. It’s something for y’all to consider. Not all conservatives are the idiots that have been lampooned on this site, and that we all share the same aims of a better world.

I’ll see y’all in a week or so, as my son John and I are going to take a quick trip to Paris to go buy some art at the Sotheby’s Impressionist auction. I’ll also try to bring back a few more bottles of Absinthe.

Have fun while I’m gone.

I’ve come to love reading federal legislation, with all the frighteningly open-ended weasel language.

It’s almost like it was written by lawyers, not real people with common sense. Oh, wait, it was written by lawyers….

High gas prices? My congressman has a plan â€” blame Democrats…

Rep. Randy Kuhl’s "Energy Report" deceives his constituents by offering only illusions of and false hopes for much-cheaper gasoline. But heâ€™s not alone. He promotes a Republican-pushed bill that falsely promises salvation â€” and soon â€” …
