America has finally, FINALLY succeeded in pumping more than 12,000,000 barrels of oil a day!
BTW, that's Twelve Million, which is a whole hell of a lot!
This is a monumental accomplishment for us, the same folks who've been shipping off boatloads of cash in exchange for oil to those nice folks in the Middle East who hate us and want us dead. We've been doing that since the 1950's. In spades (can I still say that?)!
When our oil companies dug the first oil wells in Arabia back in the late 1940's, the Arabs were riding camels. Now, their Rolls Royces-ses are gold plated. Their camels are gold plated. Their gold is gold plated!
Thanks to good ol' America.
Well, Pilgrim, no longer. Thanks to new and exciting technology by way of which we can reclaim billions of barrels of oil from the vast expanse of Bakken Tar Sands oil shale resources in the Pacific Northwest, without proven negative effect, we've now eclipsed all foreign production! We now produce more oil than any other country on Earth!
In fact, we produce so much (how much?) we're now a Net Exporter of Oil and Natural Gas!
More than Saudi Arabia. More than Iraq. More than Iran. More than Yemen, or Kuwait, or Syria, or Venezuela, or Brazil.
Did you know that? If not, why not? Could it be that you're gathering up your news from less than reliable resources?
And so what does America's new crop of Leftist "leaders," you know, all those "Progressive" Democrats, want to do now that we've become energy independent? How do they wish us to proceed now that we've solved a stupendous problem that's been plaguing us for more than 70 years?
They want America to stop drilling for oil, stop making cars, stop flying on airplanes, stop heating and cooling our homes, stop living in the 21st Century! That, folks, is the Democrat's Green New Deal!
Why on Earth would we want to turn back the clock to the 1850's where folks had to be content with horses and buggies for their transportation? That's IF they had a horse and IF they had a buggy?
Well, we wouldn't! But the "More Equal Than You" want you to walk while they fly private. And they're flying private more than at any other time in history. Joe Biden's 3rd Quarter expense report shows he spent more than $900,000 of his followers donations to fly around in little executive jets in just the past three months. He and the rest of them want you to struggle while they live their plush lives in comfort and privilege. behind high walls, I might add. They want your insignificant little life to take a backseat to theirs. because they are the "more equal" than you.
Read "Animal Farm" again if you need a refresher course in what that last term means...
They want you to give them most all your money so they can redistribute it in all those places where it will do the most good. Good for what? To "fix" Global Warming." Or "Climate Disruption." Or "Climate Chaos." Or "Temperature Variation." Or whatever they're choosing to call it today.
Or, as I call it, "Weather."
Oh yeah, and insure they continue to stay in control by influencing your future votes. Their way.
So the "Bottom Line: is they want to spend what some have estimated to be $93,000,000,000,000 (that's Ninety Three Trillion Dollars!0 to "fix" our climate. That, by the way, represents spending roughly $630,000 per American family household!
Nooooow, considering that we Americans represent only 5% of the world's population, and 25% of all consumption, but produce only 13% of all atmospheric pollution, that seems like a reasonable goal. Yettttt, China and India together produce more than 50% of all atmospheric pollution, are doing absolutely nothing to reduce or eliminate their "carbon footprints" and are opening coal-fired power plants on a weekly basis! Using coal they've purchased from us and Canada! Have you noticed any of our eco-weenies calling for China or India to reduce their carbon output? Ummmmm, no, no you haven't.
The fact that they haven't - and aren't - demanding that China and India start solving their pollution issues, proves that these folks aren't serious about ruining America's economy and competitiveness among the world's countries and rendering us, the proletariat, defenseless, powerless and hat-in-hand. THEY want to be in charge of the Country. Of our economy. And of our lives.
I don't want that. Do you?
NEWS FLASH! It was just announced that those of us who live in Taxifornia now face the fallout from years of Democrat mismanagement of our power production and delivery. Our power companies, with PG and E leading the charge, have just announced the they are turning off the power to more than a dozen counties in northern California. Those counties are home to more than 800,000 residents. Residents who will have their lights, their A/Cs, their washers and dryers, and their TVs turned off, because we have the wind blowing more than normal, and the wind just might cause a fire, by maybe bumping into their power lines, a fire yet to be started, to blow out of control. Soooo, for what MIGHT happen, rate-paying residents will be punished. In advance.
And forget washers and dryers. What about those who depend upon dialysis machines and home oxygen generators? Are they to just be left to die?
Think on that for awhile...
BTW, if you plan on acquiring one of those tony Teslas, or any one of the other expensive plug-in electric cars, or you already have one, I'd like to ask just exactly how you intend to escape a high-fire danger here in Taxifornia when the folks you're buying power from...decide to pull the plug? Literally. Didn't think about that when you gave Elon Musk all your money, now did you?
