How does that translate into higher grocery prices?

The cost of energy.

Show me the numbers then. We are pumping more oil from U.S. soil than
ever before.

The world and the US is using a lot more oil too.

It is quite easy to say it was the Bush policies that increased US
energy production. You don't see the results of things like this for
years.

That is why all of those who subscribe to it won't affect oil prices for
10 years asshole should be shot. Many people understand that you have to
put forth energy to secure your needs in the future you will muddle
along in poverty forever.

If you don't build the house today, you can't live in it tomorrow. If
you don't drill for the oil today you won't have it tomorrow.

Oil is a finite resource, so no matter how much you drill, you still
won't secure your future with oil.

I have said for a long time, we will run out of water, long before we
run out of oil. We are seeing that in our food prices right now far
more than the cost of energy. There are things you can substitute for
oil but there is nothing else to replace "fresh" water.
You may be able to desalinate enough drinking water for most of the US
but you will never be able to get enough to irrigate our crops.

True.


Yes, and fossil fuel is STILL a finite resource.


There are lots of things that are finite resources on earth. Well, at
least until we get hit with a meteorite that deposits more gold or other
minerals.


Apples and oranges.

Won't matter how much oil we have if we run out of water, will it?




Quote of the day. "We won't have oil tomorrow, if we don't go after it


today".




Got enough gas to run the genny for several days?


I hope you guys in the northeast are taking this event seriously.




They are taking it too seriously.




Everything in the DC area is closed for the next two days.




My wife had a rotator cuff repair this past Monday. She was supposed to see the Dr. today to get out


of the sling, which is driving her crazy. She got a call last night that her appointment is


cancelled because the government is closed, and the Dr's office follows the government's lead.




Now she's looking at a couple more days in the sling. Not happy!




It's all O'Bama's fault.




Actlually, it's the damn dog's fault. She tore three tendons in her shoulder playing with the dog

which was on a long leash.


Both my wife and I injured our shoulders walking our 60lb Springer Spaniel on a 6 foot lead.
He used to lunge a lot.
Now my wife uses a General tle Leader harness that controls his head and I use an Easy Walker harness that controls his movements from his chest.
He tends to pull when hooked up at his neck
It took us a month to self heal from those shoulder injuries.


Sandy had one tendon partially torn, one halfway torn, and one torn completely loose. She now has
four screws in her shoulder. She'll probably be in the sling for at least a couple weeks. The doctor
won't let her start physical therapy for two weeks.

How else do you account for $100 per barrel oil with gas prices at $1.80
per gallon and $100 per barrel oil with gas prices at $4.00 per gallon?



You are never gonna' get him to accept that even though it's the most
basic math ever...


=========

"Actually, a barrel of oil is 42 gallons. When the barrel is
processed, you may get something like 15 gallons of gasoline, 9 gal.
of fuel oil, 10 gal. of jet fuel (Kerosene) and 4 gal of other "heavy"
products such as lubricants, grease, asphalt / bitumene and plastics
and 4 gallons of lighter condensates/naphtha."

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_much_gasoline_can_be_made_from_one_barrel_of_c rude_oil

So the price of gas depends on a lot of things, not the least of which
is supply and demand for not only gasoline, but also the other
refining products. Transportation and taxes also enter into the
retail pump price in a fairly major way. You see this in the
considerable price differential between gas prices in New York and New
Jersey. Areas with tight refining capacity like California also pay
higher prices.
