More lies about oil drilling

Nathan Deal stood in his town hall meetings and lied about the weather in Alaska.

The American Petroleum Institute is lying about the vast amounts of oil exploration that is being done on behalf of the ... "American people."

Here's the link to the lies about active drilling on existing leases at WSJ. It's called the "The 'Idle' Oil Field Fallacy" by Red Cavaney. Mr. Cavaney is president and CEO of the American Petroleum Institute, the trade association that represents America's oil and natural gas industry. Of course, it's published as an opinion article. Opinion can be denied later but until someone speaks up, opinion is used as fact by professional politicians, like Nathan Deal.

Let's see of Mr. Cavaney speaks in weasel words like a politician.

"A significant percentage of federal leases simply may not contain oil and natural gas, especially in commercial quantities."

Would Mr. Cavaney use the words may not when talking about the ANWR where no wells have been drilled for exploration or production. Or, would he say like Nathan Deal has repeatedly that the ANWR is a "huge depository of oil and gas."

I don't think an oil man would be as reckless as Nathan Deal by saying .. the ANWR is a "huge depository of oil and gas."

But an oil man would say the exploration process is very active.

"Exploration is time consuming, very costly and involves a great deal of risk. Importantly, you see neither a drop of usable oil nor a cubic foot of natural gas while it is going on. But it is absolutely essential, and there is nothing "idle" about it."

How idle are the oil companies on federal lands?

Exploratory wells drilled for crude oil in 1973 … 642

Exploratory wells drilled for crude oil in last 12 months … 711

An 11 percent increase in 35 years …

Thank GOD the oil companies are drilling for oil as fast as Nathan Deal is drilling for the truth! If Big Oil and my Congressman weren't doing their jobs, then our country would be out of gas and all politicians would be liars.
