Please read this article - it has some amazing information that will affect the security and economy of the US and other oil dependent nations.
Based on the information in the article and your prior knowledge - address the following
- Okay - You get to write a question for the Next Republican Debate that is based on this article
Write at Least TWO questions that could be used
Then
explain how this article made you feel
1.How would you address the time it takes for oil drilling permits to be accepted?
ReplyDelete2.What would you do about the speculation of oil prices if you were elected?
- I feel that this issue is very complex (speculation, global conflict, global demand, global pricing, and blend type), but there are things that can be done to put relief on the market.:
1-one national blend of gas
2-open off shore drilling
3-allow cracking
4-open the Alaskan Oil sites
While i have a lot of knowledge on this subject, I do believe that the current white house occupant could do a lot more to help.
also we have MORE oil then even Sadia Arabia
Delete1. Why cant we just get the data on how much oil there is. is it that threating to the economy if every country give the world an estimate.
ReplyDelete2. why would some one lie about how much there reserve has bc if we all say we have a lot and were ruining out what will happen to the economy if we run out and they still say they got plenty more.
this makes me think that our choices as a nation are being decided by greedy children that are too stubborn to help each other
Questions
ReplyDelete1. As President of the United States how would you promote sustainable development in world with rising gas prices?
2. Would you consider warming relations with Russia in order to purchases their oil?
I thought this article was an eye opener because it brings to the public view that the oil reserves in the middle east are limited and with the rise of China and India on the world market .
If you were elected as President, What plan would you purpose to congress to lower gas prices?
ReplyDeleteIf our gas prices continue to decline, and our country decides to pick a new resource as a biofuel, what would it be?
Once I read this article, I realized that America's control on oil is decreasing rapidly and needs to change. Either we need a new biofuel, or we need more places to drill oil from
Questions:
ReplyDelete1. What policies would you consider implementing to help prepare America for the potential collapse of the oil industry?
2. Would you consider speaking with other countries to try and create some sort of peaceful negotiation that would allow everyone from each country to know exactly how much oil we actually have left?
3. And lastly would you begin creating jobs in fields of alternative fuel creation?
As I was reading this article it really sunk in just how insane our world truly has become. With clear data pointing to only one horrid outcome, the collapse of the oil industry and potentially a global economic depression, I am shocked at how idiotic these foreign countries are acting, not to forget our own. Keeping something as trivial as how much oil one has doesn’t help anyone. And on top of that OPEC’s ruling of, “bigger reserves = higher prices” only gives obvious inclination (which according to this article has been proven true) for countries to lie in order to turn a huge profit. I really feel that at this point the world leaders should just step down and let monkeys rule if they’re just going to behave like children.
1. What would you do about oil prices if you were elected?
ReplyDelete2. If elected, what jobs do you think you could create in creating alternate fuels?
When I read this I realized how crazy our world is. I realized that our control that we have on oil in our country and around the world is rapidly decreasing from countries like India and China and more. They are soon about to be number 1 and we have to change that.We need a president that can bring us back to be at the top of everything.
1) If you were elected president, how would you ensure security in the Middle East so gasoline prices do not rise?
ReplyDelete2) If you were elected president, would you drill on our shores?
I believe that the best way to keep peace in the Middle East is to keep an honest friendship and commerce with these nations - not impose sanctions, occupy (or other informal acts of war) in order to secure oil. We foolishly handled the Middle East since 1953 and it's time to take a closer look at our foreign policy.
1) Why is it that the issue of oil effect so many other things.
ReplyDelete2)Do you think the quota is fair?
The fact that oil prices will rise to be about $5 is baffling, but it is not like it is for no reason. It seems as though we should make better choices as to how we treat places like the Middle East considering the fact that most of the oil reserves are located there.
1) Do you stand by the decision Obama made to not construct the Keystone XL Pipeline even though it could create thousands of jobs and provide us with oil from a friendly neighbor?
ReplyDelete2) The world's oil supply is limited and that is not going to change. What do you want to do about alternative energy sources?
I think this is a good article. It reemphasizes the fact that getting oil is going to only become harder and harder until it runs out. Even though it doesn't directly say it, it clearly shows the need for us to look into alternative energy sources as our main supply. It lets us know that time is running out and the day when we exhaust our oil supplies is drawing near. Also, it shows how dependent we are on other countries, especially countries in the Middle East.
1. Americans are going to be very mad that oil prices are going to raise to 5 dollars. How are you going to handle their anger.
ReplyDelete2. Would you drill oil from our oceans? Also, what would you do when people became furies that our water would get polluted?
I think this article is very eye opening to me. I feel like I take oil for granted but its something I should really be grateful for. Oil is slowing running out, and I honestly don't know what we will do because everything we use requires oil, pretty much. We rely on the Middle East so much and I think we should stay close with them because if not, we will not have oil. We have limited supply and we should not take it for granted.

1. As President, how would you ease the transition to using non-fossil fuels for power?
ReplyDelete2. Would you allow a large increase in oil drilling on the American coast if elected President?
The US is very dependent on other countries for many of our resources, such as oil and natural gas. There is no way that the US will be able to continue this trend, and we must find a way to either live without fossil fuels, or limit our use of them greatly.
1. If you were elected as president what would you do to help the oil prices?
ReplyDelete2. If you were president how would you use stuff like electricity to help boost this economy?
I think this is a very good and informing article, but i don't get why our gas prices are eventually going to rise up to 5 dollars, that ridiculous. If someone doesn't put a stop to this our lives will change greatly.
1. As president of the United States what would you do about the nations oil crisis?
ReplyDelete2. As president of the United States would you promote alternative resources?
This article made me realize how finite oil is across the world. I always believed that we would have a surplus of oil no matter what, but obviously I thought wrong. I can understand why gas prices are going up but five dollars is pushing it.
1. If foreign nations keep "jacking" up the prices of gas, how will the U.S. cope with the rising prices and can you do to help?
ReplyDelete2. How dependent is the U.S. on foreign oil? Is there anyway we can become less dependent on foreign oil?
This article made me understand how dependent the U.S. is on foreign oil. It is really scary how much foreign we use and how much it costs. The price of oil in continually increasing and the demand for it is becoming greater and greater everyday. I think that the U.S. needs to be really careful at how dependent they are on oil. The U.S. needs to come up with a solution to using less gas and stop being so dependent on foreign lands. I am scared that one day gas is going to run out, and the world is going to turn into chaos.
