- tomgsmyth, on 04/02/2008, -7/+185 Here, if you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw. There it is, that's a straw, you see? You watching?. And my straw reaches acroooooooss the room, and starts to drink your milkshake... I... drink... your... milkshake!
I drink it up!
***** Oilmen - AmishRefugee, on 04/02/2008, -17/+182400 billion? ***** yeah! problem solved
I'm selling my Prius tomorrow and getting a hummer, I love those - ipek, on 04/02/2008, -49/+149It's funny...instead of doing something for the planet, we're gonna extract oil from the MELTING areas of the Arctic, to pollute even more.
- NATED066, on 04/02/2008, -12/+103And somehow a U.S. corporation thinks it belongs to them?
All your OIL are belong to us!!! - inactive, on 04/02/2008, -30/+119Just say No to Big Oil!....and plastics...and medicine...and electricity 24/7....
- Powermac, on 04/02/2008, -6/+75Nothing's as good as the light, delicious sweet crude of the Saudi's.
- inactive, on 12/07/2008, -8/+64Same thing was found off the coast of South America. The cost of extraction, despite how badly you think you are being raped at the pump, is hardly as profitable as some would have you believe.
- sockpuppets, on 04/02/2008, -2/+55My hummer runs on purified polar bear extract, thereby bypassing the environmental concerns of oil rigs.
- ryanmct, on 04/02/2008, -11/+57400 billion barrels, so what is that, like two weeks worth of gas for the United States?
- fLUx1337, on 04/02/2008, -6/+45The penguins.....were responsible for 9/11. AND they have nukes.
You know what happens next.... - DrDragun, on 04/02/2008, -12/+46Medicine? Electricity? Bitch please; plastics are a fraction of a fraction of our oil consumption and most resins can be easily produced from vegetable oil. I don't even know where you pulled the electricity one from so I have no idea how to even answer that. Are you thinking of coal?
- Chaoticfist, on 04/02/2008, -11/+44YA ok. No us company is going to claim territory that is under Canadain ownership. The Northern Artic islands belong to Canada. As well if we can prove that our contenantal shelf extands further out, we will be able to get even more. No offence to anyone here. But i hardly see some random oil company setting up shop in the north, with out any legal basis as good.
Not to mention Canada is building a bunch of new ships capable of Artic travel, as well as a deep water military port. We will defend the area, that i promise you. Also PS. The North West Passage is internal Waters of Canada.
You may think i am some nationalist nut. But how would Russia, or the USA react is some random company or nation set up shop in its territory? - RogerStrong, on 04/02/2008, -2/+34Canada? Considering the area, that's who we're talking about.
- BigManOnCampus, on 04/02/2008, -5/+34400 billion barrels is probably worth 600 trillion dollars.
With that kind of money, There's no reason not to start a martian colony. - yevkasem, on 04/02/2008, -4/+30i know you're making a joke, and it's sadly all too true, but latest estimates would put it around 53 years.
- DrDragun, on 04/02/2008, -3/+29YEAH RUMSFELD!!!
- Number23, on 04/02/2008, -9/+30You've sold your car and only bike, walk or take public transit, right?
- vault, on 04/02/2008, -5/+26No, in the case of oil, whether you wish this were true or not, at the moment we do in fact NEED oil. So it's not relative in any sense of the word.
- inactive, on 04/02/2008, -2/+22That was a great scene. Especially, when he beats that false prophet to death.
- SupaDawg, on 04/02/2008, -3/+22Extremely well said. While parts of the arctic waters are disputed, this area is not. These are Canadian waters.
- inactive, on 04/02/2008, -2/+20Don't get to excited, just like every other sensible oil solution, I'm sure in the end nothing will be done and we'll sit back and watch oil companies profit $1 trillion a year. Maybe if were lucky, America will be 'green' by 2050 so we can reap the benefits of being a financially broke 3rd world country driving an abundance of gas powered cars that get 60mpg instead of 20
- RogerStrong, on 04/02/2008, -1/+19Yours is rather tied up right now.
- sgiffy, on 04/02/2008, -1/+17Well theres been a helluva lot of plants and small animals over time. Especially in the oceans.
- Responder656, on 04/02/2008, -13/+29April Fools!
- PeterODactyl, on 04/02/2008, -2/+17Now the trick is to let it trickle out slowly enough that the price doesn't drop.
- eternal464, on 04/02/2008, -2/+16it sells for what, 100 bucks a barrel? so my math says 40 trillion, and while still a massive number the investment to get to it and send it back will likely be enormous
- schmitey, on 04/02/2008, -0/+14that was seriously one of the strangest movies I've ever seen...especially that scene
- Chaoticfist, on 04/02/2008, -5/+18Sorry about the bad spelling lol. I was pissed off when i typed this lol. So i typed to quickly. Anyway, the way is see it is. The Arctic regions that Canada has so far claimed, belong to us. Also we will defend the region if we have to. Canada is currently looking at investing significantly in military resources for the region as well. Also if the continental shelf extends further out than we though we could claim a lot more sea as Canadian Territory.
- delmar14, on 04/02/2008, -0/+13I'm finished...
- DrDragun, on 04/02/2008, -11/+23Thanks for providing unsolicited counters to arguments I didn't even make, you fail at the Straw Man smear. PLASTICS can be made from vegetable oil, I said nothing about fuel for SUV's and neither did the original poster. And not that I care whether you know, but I am far from a hippy and in fact make 100k as an engineer at a Defense company.
Now go back to failing at whatever you do. - wageslaven, on 04/02/2008, -10/+22There isnt much arctic north that doesnt belong to Canada.
You yanks better not fcuking forget that. - sponeil, on 04/02/2008, -1/+13When we run out of polar bears, you can switch it to baby seal pulp.
- DrDragun, on 04/02/2008, -4/+16False dichotomy much?
- WolverineBlue, on 04/02/2008, -1/+12We invade a region on the opposite side of the world from where we really ought to be?
- merper, on 04/02/2008, -6/+16Who the hell is digging up wrong answers and down right ones? Consumption IS 30Billion barrels/year, which is 13-14 years, not 52.
http://www.energybulletin.net/5655.html - RogerStrong, on 04/02/2008, -4/+14In any case the company's claim about the existence of the oil is speculation, and their claim to it is pure fantasy.
- hmunkey, on 04/02/2008, -2/+12?
- cheese06, on 04/02/2008, -2/+12The U.S. receives most of its oil from Canada...
- chrgrose, on 04/02/2008, -2/+12Well this is just ***** great. In 50 years, all of it will be in the atmosphere collecting photons.
- slvrbullet87, on 04/02/2008, -16/+26I would rather have a US company have it than the people who control the oil now.
- BigW, on 04/02/2008, -2/+12Try $ 1500. His math was VERY wrong.
- khail250, on 04/02/2008, -1/+10mmm, you make it sound so tasty right before dinner!
- galleryfront, on 04/02/2008, -1/+10at it's peak in 2020, ANWR will produce 800,000 barrels per day... less than four percent of our daily usage... this translates to a whole 15 CENTS off of a $5 gallon of gas.... the chance of gas being $5 in 12 years? 0%.
- Rotzooi, on 04/02/2008, -1/+10Absolutely. For me, all oil should come with the free threat of terrorism.
- delmar14, on 04/02/2008, -0/+9The U.S. oil companies don't actually own most of the oil they produce. They are service providers and they are paid to extract it and deliver it where it needs to go.
- jmpeagle, on 04/02/2008, -3/+12why would someone who claims to own that property want to speculate that the value of their property is worth trillions of dollars?
- LongShlong, on 04/02/2008, -5/+14Keep dreaming.
- jftitan, on 04/02/2008, -0/+8Tell me more.... I am interested in reading your Novel about this very subject.
- ABadPerson, on 04/02/2008, -0/+8The longer the straw, the harder you have to suck.
- RogerStrong, on 04/02/2008, -0/+8The penguins are antarctic. This is the arctic.
(So, polar bears and bio weapons.) -
