  • If Obama does nothing, it is his fault

    obviously the author has compassion for obama. Right now the country's eyes are focused on obama, and the rest of his socialist coharts, (pelosi, reid) they are the ones who are playing games with the drillling of oil. The only reason they have not lifted the ban on drilling is that it is a republican idea, and it will work. which would look bad ...

  • US Offshore Oil Drilling

    Barack Obama and John McCain have made recent statements on US offshore oil drilling while on the US presidential campaign trail. Well, Offshore Drilling is a huge issue right now and rightly so. Between the desire to deal with the economic mess that is being spurred by the price of oil and the on-going longer-term concern of global ...

  • HORIZON?????

    gee . . . I thought the ''horizon'' was the distant place where the sky and earth appear to meet and by physical definition impossible to ''reach'' . . . . unless you beleive the earth is flat.

  • Re: US is 3rd in oil production!!!

    Economists seem to agree with you that the short term affects would be marginal. Implementation time is not insignificant. Oildrum.com states it takes at least two years to build a rig(http://www.theoildrum.com/story/2005/9/28/115543/198). My favorite reference, the Slate Explainer, said it would take between 5 and 10 years for actually oil ...

  • Why 'almost'? Lighten up!

    Why not just title the piece “Sensible Plan” instead of all the almosts, ifs, ands, and buts? I’m with Educatordan on this one. It takes ideas like Mr. Hofmeister’s to break through the dogmas of single-issue, single constituency politics that each year drive Congress to allocate a little bit here for alternatives research, a little there for ...

    china has a few million extra young men plus a natural-born interest in the middle east's increasingly precious petro resources. if they're ever to have a sphere of influence in this critical region, afghanistan will be a particularly compelling roadside attraction.

  • Iran's Arsenal is Really Financial not Nuclear

    The US isn't afraid of Iran's ''Nuclear Arsenal'' but rather their ''Finacial Arsenal''... Iran has begun an ''Oil Bank'' that has let the air out of the Dollar, creating the first steps of a finacial freefall for the US and anyone sticking to the Dollar as ''Oil Currency''; not my opinion, fact!!! Read the Tehran newspapers... Can you see the ...

  • The hidden nature of America's power

    In all honesty, American power in the global sphere will continue to erode no matter what foreign policy we put into place. Empires always crumble. What's the nature of power? Max Weber proposed that it was the ability to inflict violence against others. Well. America has 12,000+ nuclear warheads, enough of which are mounted on three stage ...
