So this isn't exactly Christian news, but it's a little interesting.

American oil boom brings gas prices down - Video on NBCNews.com

I'm just confused as to why this is suddenly news now. I've been told about this ever since I was a kid; America has enough oil to not be dependant on others, namely belligerent middle eastern regimes. And yet now we're suddenly starting to make use of it? Why? I thought liberals, including the Obama administration, had a greater association with environmental protection. So why under this current liberal administration are we getting the green light to start using what enormous reserves of American oil we have? A lot of questions unanswered...

The most evil thing Obama is doing is stopping our energy boom potential. But many Republican leaders are also in bed with those willing to keep giving money to radical muslims committed to wipe out Christianity. We can make natural gas from coal without burning it. We can run all our cars on natural gas easily and cars would run better and burn cleaner with conversions that cost little. We have enough coal to run our cars 500-1000 years and then there are all the natural gas finds including huge fields on government lands that Obama will not allow. All of this could spark jobs and I mean huge numbers of jobs in the USA and also be a new boom for the USA but those in control are purposefully stopping this. I wanted to run for Congress on this platform, "5 year plan for energy independence" in 5 years no more foreign oil. The plan would use coal and natural gas and encourage auto makers to get conversions for cars to natural gas. Compressed natural gas cars could use home gas lines with a simple device for compression to fill up. The cost would be about 1/3 of gasoline when implemented. But the oil companies would lose huge amounts of money with this including the Arabs and other enemies making all the money from us.
But this is not discussed in the news as the media is also controlled by the money powers. This in my view is a crime of our government against it's own citizens.

1/4 of all our oil was used in WW2... It shows how fast we can go through oil... If we can use a 1/4 of our oil reserves in less than 4 years in the 1940's imagine how quickly we can use it now...

So this caused a scare to america... We noticed that all our candy was going faster than what we expected... So we took a plan and decided to buy everyone else's candy when it was cheap... Saving ours and when we wasted all of theirs... Ours would be more expensive, and we could more than get back the money we payed for theirs by selling a fraction of ours... And we would also be in control of everyone who wanted any because we owned the most...

(My line of thinking)

Whoever asked where I can post the link to this info...

this is from my own line of thinking... I just made that connection the second I read the OP... I did not read the link though...

Taking the knowledge from my Econ classes in highschool and the knowledge about how the U.S. has been positioning itself on oil since WW2 I think that is the most logical assumption...

That would be me. I tend to keep a low profile while asking for sources. I just want to know where I could possibly find it the source of that information.

I have a lot of questions, hahaha.

I have a more than hard time finding any info on how much oil we used in WW2... I remember hearing that we used 1/4 of our oil on the T.V. series we used to watch in 11th grade, which was America the story of us...

Maybe I am wrong about that, if so I apologize... but none the less, I think america is acting on how I explained with the candy...

I don't know about the using 1/4 of our oil in WWII, but your candy analogy seems to fit pretty accurately. It's smart business sense (not necessarily moral, religious or international relations) to buy oil from other countries when it's cheap. Then save ours for when we really need it.

Also, even though the US does have a lot of oil, it's NOWHERE as easy to extract as middle eastern oil. It is very expensive and causes a lot more environmental issues.

I've known this for years and years......nobody wants to believe it. Research, ...how to say, back to the beginning of the oil boom, who got rich off making sure everybody thought there was a limited amount? Follow the money. Dinosaur carcasses Indeed! Defies logic.


Oh yeah, the post above yours, that's what I'm talkin about, that's the general consensus.

Yes, but fracking is becoming more and more feasible.

And then there's biotic fuel produced via Ralstonia Eutropha. I think if science progresses any further the USA's policy of buying foreign oil and conserving their own may prove to be pointless.

Well it is cheaper for the US certainly to purchase oil from the Middle East especially when it destroys countries like Iraq where it has relatively large oil reserves. The business strategy destroy its country and take Saddam Hussein 'out.' Then, a few years later, when the dust has settled force IMF loans on Iraq and privatise its oil and take possession of it that way, commercially. Of course, put in a government first to give the world the illusion of democracy. Whilst privatising the oil, cut Iraq's welfare for its citizens right down. Which is the evil one, Saddam or the West (largely the USA) being a parasite off making a country vulnerable?

I believe the doctrine of Total Depravity, so I am inclined to believe all nations are equally evil, just some sin worse than others.
