Morning Bell: The Energy Revolution And Its Discontents

 Morning Bell: The Energy Revolution and Its Discontents

With all the gloomy economic news coming out of late, one bright spot flew under the radar last week: the United States is poised to be the proverbial center of the energy universe.

A recent study by Harvard Research Fellow Leonardo Maugeri found that the United States’ incredible shale reserves represent “the most important revolution in the oil sector in decades.”

Thanks to the technological revolution brought about by the combined use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, the U.S. is now exploiting its huge and virtually untouched shale and tight oil fields, whose production – although still in its infancy – is already skyrocketing in North Dakota and Texas.

Few Americans are more cognizant of this energy revolution’s possibilities than those who live in the towns sitting above the nation’s largest shale formations. The Heritage Foundation traveled to Willison, North Dakota, above the massive Bakken shale, to hear first-hand how the oil boom there has improved residents’ lives.

    Mohammed heard one of his wives was leaving him,
    so he rushed home where he found her on the carpet
    in front of the tent with her belongings; he sat beside her
    and said, “I heard you were planning to leave me?”

    She replied, “Yes, I heard your other wives saying you were a pedophile!”

    Mohammed thinks for a minute or so and then responds,
    “that's a mighty big word for a 6 year old."

    Two guys are sitting around talking about politics.

    One of them asks the other, "So why are you a Republican?"

    "Because my daddy and granddaddy were Republicans," was the man's reply.

    "What if your daddy and granddaddy were horse thieves?"

    "In that case, I guess I'd be a Democrat."

    Don't let the EPA, "green energy" guys or the Democrats lie to you about fracking and natural energy retrieval.
    Drilling for natural gas/oil on private lands is basically a windfall for the owners and also for consumers. It does not hurt nature as they wish you to believe. I can attest to that first hand.
    We need to tap into more of our shale and basins. Only that way can we TRULY be free of foreign influence in our energy production and kick-start our economy again.

    People can say whatever they want, but I would personally prefer that we drill and do whatever we can do, in order to be free of the Arabs and their oil. As my dad used to be fond of saying, “let them old arabs eat their oil”! This is exactly what we should do, force feed them their oil, and see how they like the taste of it, and see how they can manage to get rich without American money. And, pull our troops out of their filthy, shit filled countries and let them kill each other, it would be a favor to the whole world if they did kill each other off. Every dead mu SLIME is a good one, they are infected with the disease known as islam, or, IS SLIME, and are as of now, infecting the globe with this satanic and hellish ideology……..and it needs to come to a screeching halt! In order to save humanity from it’s demonic pull, it must be stopped immediatly. If one needs any proof of what this evil truly is, REMEMBER SEPTEMBER 11, 2001! You need no more education on IS SLIME than that ONE DAY AND THOSE 3000 MURDERS!!!!!!!!!!
