Nigeria will receive approximately $4.5 million in military training, hardware sales, and counter-terrorism and counter-narcotics education in 2010. It's intolerable that U.S. taxpayers must subsidize a repressive government's slaughter of its civilians.

Texas Republican Joe Barton, ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, is essentially owned by Big Oil. He was the principle author of the 2005 Energy Bill -- a massive giveaway to the oil giants -- he launched a ridiculous witch hunt....

The war in Afghanistan is about gaining profitable control of one of the last vast untapped reserves of the earth's dwindling fossil fuel supply, & planting US military power into still another region of the world. Obama's talk of "change" rings false.

Most of us are pretty clear about why Iraq was invaded now but this video just explains it quite simply so everyone can understand. Next Iran? and WHY.

Democrats are willing to admit defeat in regard to the 'Drilling Ban', that expires next week. This will pave the road to open-up the nations coastlines to offshore oil drilling, which will lead to environmental issues.

Tom

For most of us, zooming around in an airplane to shoot wolves sounds insane. For Sarah Palin, it's a "safari." In her time as governor of Alaska, Palin has used her position as governor of Alaska to ruin the Alaskan wilderness in every way she could.

Though the media has focused on offshore drilling, the threat to our onshore public lands is also graver than ever. Reckless drilling will do nothing but provide handouts to oil and gas companies while discouraging investment in clean energy technologies.

Ten Reasons Not to Lift the Offshore Drilling Moratorium
US Politics & Gov't  (tags: usa, oil )

Michael
- 479 days ago - americanprogress.org
We don't have enough oil to meet our demand. The U.S. oil supply-demand balance is insurmountable. We have less than 2% of the world's known reserves, yet use 25 percent. We could not produce enough oil to offset our growing demand.

Americans Are Driving Less... So Why Does the Government Think This Is Bad News? - Thedailygreen.Com
US Politics & Gov't  (tags: Federal Highway Administration, gas prices, oil, fuel-efficiency, bad news )


- 514 days ago - thedailygreen.com
All this would seem like bad news (very high gas prices) with a very shiny silver lining (a very real move toward fuel-efficient transportation). You might see it that way. But not if you are a bureaucrat at the Federal Highway Administration...

It Was Oil, All Along
US Politics & Gov't  (tags: iraq, oil, war crimes )


- 514 days ago - consortiumnews.com
Oh, no, they told us, Iraq isn't a war about oil. That's cynical and simplistic, they said. It's about terror and al Qaeda and toppling a dictator and spreading democracy and protecting ourselves from weapons of mass destruction.
