Just Sick of It!

There has been a quite, may semi-quite, storm brewing on the Internet as of late about a tiny, no nothing island out in Alaska, called Gull Island. Gull Island, and by extension the under it and Alaska, could be the solution to lowing the price of Oil within the next few year. This has spread so much as of late that on today’s Sean Hannity show a caller mentioned it to the guest host.

So in case you are having trouble finding out about this little island that could let me give you a little history and information that I have collected. Gull Island is located about five miles off shore from Prudhoe Bay in Alaska’s northern slope.

Gull Island, although close, is not in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge or ANWR which you can see the border of it does not cover the Prudhoe Bay area and is a few miles north east of the ANWR area boundary, which is also clearly visible on the official ANWR site.

In the 1970’s Lindsay Williams a Chaplain for the Alyeska Pipeline Company witnessed ARCO drill, test, analyze and then cap a huge oil find on Gull Island. It’s been said that Gull Island has enough oil to pump 2 million barrels of oil a day for 200 years. We import about 10 million barrels of crude oil per day in 2007, so using 1970 era figures and technology we have solved 1/5th of our foreign oil dependence on an already drilled and currently capped well.

But that was 1970 and technology has gotten at least a little bit better since then. Keeping that in mind I believe that 2 million is a entry level figure and should at least double with current technology and methods. If we start drilling now we will see our prices start dropping soon, but it won’t be by a lot. By freeing our oil companies to build new we will be sending a message to the futures markets and futures prices will drop.

If we leave our local oil and Gull Island to just sit there we could end up paying a lot more and oil will reach $170 a barrel easy. If you don’t believe me King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia today mentioned in a speech that we should all get used to current prices and prepare for even higher rates.

But there is no problem right? We could all be switching to other cars, and all those people that can’t afford an electric car or a hybrid should just walk or take the bus, because that’s how you move a family with kids around, the bus. But let is not live off of our land here in America who is without a doubt the most resource rich country in the world from oil to natural gas.

So let the debate rage on. Let’s keep pushing our country toward a depression by raising the cost of transportation and goods to a level where the low-middle and lower class of our society cannot eat or get around. Somehow I should be more worried about a few anamials and micro-organisms in Alaska then my next door neighbor, yea that makes sense.

Man, it’s really starting to heat up in here. Eventually I’m going to be drowned at my desk in a mix of sweat and AC runoff. Oh, wait it’s starting to cool, great now I’m going to have to navigate the frozen tundra of what was once my desk. Well thank god I can control the climate in my office. But the same can’t be said for the planet.

I’m so happy that the global warming nutzo’s have decided to change the mantra from global warming to climate change. If you haven’t noticed that subtle change you will be seeing it more and more now that people have finally started to push back. Since I can remember I’ve believed that man made global warming was plain lies. I remember watching Discovery Channel program that said the world would end in the early 2000’s because of global warming, funny that were still here.

If you haven’t studied the global warming crowed in the 1970 it’s wasn’t global warming that was going to be the downfall of the planet, the great issue that we should all gather around and transition back to grass clothes and huts. No, it’s was global cooling that was the great problem and it must be fixed as soon as possible.

So what is it, global warming or global cooling? Well because the nutzo’s have beat the global warming drum so loud and hard as of late there is no way they can go back to global cooling, even if there is evidence that now the planet may be entering a cooling trend. So now they have changed it to climate change, so it’s absolutely impossible to argue with them, beacuse every day the climate will change, thus proving their point. There just isn’t any hard evidance to prove that human activity is affecting the global climate to the degree that the nutzo’s say.

But you can’t argue with global warming nutzo’s, they squash all other opinions and anyone who wants to take an objective view at the subject. If you say, “Hey I’m just not sure about global warming.” you can loose your job. That sounds like fair and open debate on a subject.

The push back has started, and there are a growing number of people speaking out on the global warming subject. Finally we might be able to get some debate on the subject and when that happens I feel that we will see that man made global warming/global cooling/climate change is a farce. Sure we have an impact on the environment, and maybe the climate, but not to the extreme that the nutzo’s believe.

Regardless of what happens we should still take care of the planet. We should recycle, reuse and try and use less of our natural resources. But we should also be trying to be rational about the whole thing and not believe the snake oil salesmen that now are trying to shove carbon credits down your throat, which has to be the biggest scam of recent history.

Watch out, global warming is gonna get you!
