This will bring back needed, good paying jobs, and will help sustain our economy!

It is inconcieveable why we cannot produce our own oil, not only is it one of the most economical assets to the country we also protect our self defense. We will be dependent on oil and gas for many years in the future and need to ignore the green people as the use of fossil fuels is not destroying the enviroment also the push to develope and build these small vehicles will help gas consumptio but will result in more deaths on the highway. I have seen the economic results of developing oil and gas production in the area i lived and worked, also have friends and relatives that have been employed in the energy business and have seen the results that have occured in the decline of domestic production. California would be in a better position to recover from their economic situation if they were able to increase utilization of the oil they have available.By the way why give Brazil two billion dollars for development of the oil field they discovered, let us open up and encourge our own production and put more poeple to work and with the taxes the goverment would get would help reduce the federal deficit.

They know as well as the rest of us that opening up our vast resources will promote higher employment with good-paying jobs for our citizens; and lessen our dependence on imports; literally saving trillions of dollars. Let's build up our wonderful country; not purposely trash it!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA !!! It's so difficult to believe our so-called "leaders" would purposely trash our economy.

Our liberty has always been a target that we have fight for every day. What is being done to our econmy and national secuity can only help the people that hate us from outside the US. and from within(can you say trojan hoarse). We need to let them know that they have awakened a sleeping giant. I believe that this is a planed attack to take down america once and for all.

We as nation need to take back control of our own destiny. I am afraid that if we don't do this, someone will do it for us. That option is not in our best intrest.

You are denying that light sweet crude is finite if we do not prepare for the price rise of crude oil as the econimy recovers it will not recover, but that is part of your goal becouse you offer nothing as a solution only the people would rather walk and freeze from exposure than ALLOW ,,,,surface disruption. To Jay in CA,

With billions of dollars coming your way I suppose you can hire people a lot smarter than me to come up with these phrases,

'surface disruption'

So it's OK to clear land for YOUR house it's OK to clear land for YOUR roads and YOUR airports it's OK to burn and use the electricity and the oil supply that YOU and your ilk are interrupting

and your accusation is 'surface disruption' YOU sir are among those that are attempting to take away the prosperity of the U.S.A.

You are denying that light sweet crude is finite if we do not prepare for the price rise of crude oil as the econimy recovers it will not recover,

but that is part of your goal becouse you offer nothing as a solution only the people would rather walk and freeze from exposure than ALLOW ,,,,surface disruption.

In any case while you jokers are attacking the power grid retooling and changing what we use as an energy source for transportation is where we don't have time to tarry. To Mr Jon Fallbrook,

While I do agree with its purpose to expose the falacy of Salzar's position, I must disagree with the conclusions about oil shale. Yes, 800 billion barrels may be recoverable. But, what is not discussed and only poorly alluded to here is that the technology for recovery is still in its infancy. There are two basic methodologies: boil shale on the surface or upgrade it underground. Shell Oil has a process for the latter that looks promising, but they are only in pilot phase and the enegy balance is questionable. Surface methods similar to Alberta oil sands production would not be accepted by most people because of the immense surface area disruption. Heritage needs to follow up on this issue by learning a LOT more about the technologies of upgrading the kerogen in oil shale. Until then, making pronouncements about the potential for oil shale to significantly affect the energy balance of America is specious. To assume that full scale production can occur within 5 years is disingenuous and brings false hopes. It is clear that this article is mainly political in thrust.
