<VV> Expensive Gasoline

[FrankCB at aol.com]

John,
    While fracking WAS intended to get more natural gas  it has also 
increased our production of petroleum.  That's what's helping  to reduce our 
import of oil.  But the big increase in natural gas  has so dropped the price 
(compared to coal and oil) that some municipalities  (such as Indianapolis) are 
beginning to convert their vehicles to run on that  fuel instead of oil or 
gasoline.  Only a few years ago plans were  made to construct liquified 
natural gas terminals so we could IMPORT  natural gas to feed our growing need.  
NOW, however, these plans are being  changed to make EXPORT terminals to 
ship out natural gas to areas like  the Far East where its price is now THREE 
times what it is in the  USA.  No thanks to the 35 year-old Energy Dept. for 
these  improvements, but I'm sure the government will take credit for them.
    "Oy gevalt"?   And a Happy Chanukah  to you, John!!!

So,  it's private? Big deal. And fracking is primarily to augment natural 
gas  production. 

ME... Oy gevalt...

While domestic oil production HAS increased it's all due  to PRIVATE 
efforts and not the Dept. of Energy.  It's called hydraulic  fracturing 
("fracking") invented by PRIVATE individuals and done on PRIVATE  instead of 
government owned land.  
I didn't realize that Maine (ME)  had a significant oil production.  Thanks 
for sharing that with  us.

In all fairness, domestic oil production is up by ~30%  as compared to this 
time last   year. 

And the marketplace is  what drove imported oil. ME oil is cheaper to   
recover and cheaper  to refine.   So...

Timothy,
Don't  worry!  Our supremely wise and loving  government set up the  
Dept. of Energy a few years ago (35 to be exact) to reduce  our  dependency 
on 
imported petroleum.  With lots of hard work and  effort  they have managed 
to 
reduce it from 30% of all the oil we use  down to 50%.

You  don't need to be brave  (unless your wife doesn't want you using her 
TIDE  laundry  detergent). Just don't let her catch you doing it. And don't 
use 
gasoline-  too expensive. I just bought some today for $3.07 per gallon 
(what a   ripoff).
