Barbara Boxer: In the Driver's Seat on Environmental Laws

Oil Reserves

i am impressed with the consistancy with which the oil industry has pulled the wool over the public eye since the first well was brought in.

They have consistantly created the impression of a limited supply or a shortge of available refined product for well over a hundred years.

As demand increased they miraculously found oil supplies to fill it.Good solid business I say except for the fact that their recent greed has literally taken the food out of people's mouths and in my opinion, contributed heavily to the collapse of our economy when they drove the cost of a gallon of gas past $4.00.

I don't have a problem with riggers and dirllers and the work-a-day people who make the whole thing go. I have a problem with the speculators and managers and accountants who scheme to fill their pockets beyond reason or decency.

I believe Exon-Mobile alone pulled in something in the neighborhood of thirty billion in NET profit in a down turned economy.

Right now gas is at $2.60 plus for no reason other than to fill the coffers and try to move that profit figure up another notch or two.

They cry about hurricanes etc. Are we really supposed to think that the leadership of the oil industry has not prepared for the inevitable hurricane or ship sinking or war or what ever? What does a store do just before a busy time? Tehy build up their inventory. Pretty basic stuff. The oil industry prefers to shut down the refinery and claim that it was coincidentally time for maintenance.

It's greed from within that will eventually bring this country to it's knees.Its the international executive who has no allegiance to any country who will be the driving force.

Madam Boxer, is dumb as a box of ROCKS !

The Rest Of The Story On Protecting The Environment

It will take massive amounts of polluting energy to create green technology and transport parts, people and products around the world. Goals of decreasing auto emissions continues runoff from automobiles other polluters.

NOVA had an article that showed that if carbon dioxide was increased, we would almost be able to watch things grow. The reverse of that is that if carbon dioxide is decreased, growth to plants would decrease. Other uninhabited world might have tried this strategy and failed.

The best solution is to stop oppressive business and employment and turn to a retirement lifestyle of a garden paradise existance with trees, plants and pets that provide fresh food around us. It is our greatest security for good health and provision.

To reduce petroleum drilling

US Energy Secretary, Dr.Steven Chu said recently in the New York Times: "If we don’t spend this money wisely and invest in new technology that addresses these challenges, we will have failed the country. We will have failed the world.”

I agree therewith. Particularly, we have to get real progress in petroleum exploration. What are we doing in exploration now? One commercial discovery in four wildcats, isn’t it? Why?

There is a new technology for oil/gas detection providing above three discoveries in four wildcats. See: http://www.binaryseismoem.weebly.com . It allows to reduce drilling significantgly.

With new technology (patented invention US 7,330,790) we could make up to three times more oil and gas discoveries than when using conventional technology. And the fact that new technology won’t need more investments is also very important. I disclosed the technology, designed it and successfully tested in the Barents and the Black Seas as well as in the Gulf of Mexico.

I will be happy to help any company to implement my technology.
