Dems: No domestic drilling, even if gas hits $10/gal

This is the party of the "little guy?"

Who's going to raise their hand and say drill in my backyard?
Put a refinery in my backyard?


I'm waiting . . . . .

My yard is not that big.

Selma - An Indiana man is capitalizing on high oil prices with his own oil well - in his yard.

Greg Losh began drilling on his ten acre property for natural gas to heat his home and found it. Then he found more.

"Let's see if we can drill for oil. If there's gas here, there's got to be oil here," Losh said. "So, we drilled 300 feet deeper to see if we hit oil."

A camera shows where Losh and his fellow investors found oil, almost 1,300 feet below the surface. While he won't say how many barrels his well pumps each day, the $100,000 start-up cost will pay for itself in one year. The oil is pumped twice a day for 30 minutes into a tank, then it's sold.

Losh says his group of investors will drill four more wells nearby, confident that one of the nation's biggest oil fields in the late 1800's still has plenty of black gold. While he concedes that he's making money, Losh says there's another incentive for drilling at home.

"It's mainly that we don't have to depend on foreign oil. There's oil here, let's see if we can get it again," he said. "It's time to get our homegrown oil back to Indiana."

Losh adds that his goal will be to fill 100 barrels a day.

It's hysterical that you'd use this clip to start a whole thread after you'd already posted it here...(http://prince.org/msg/105/277992 post #3)

So I'll keep it simple and repost as well...

That was AWESOME!! Go Salazar! McConnell, what a tool...


Mitch McConnell on Energy & Oil Republican Sr Senator (KY) http://ontheissues.org/In..._+_Oil.htm

Ken Salazar on Energy & Oil Democratic Jr Senator (CO) http://ontheissues.org/In..._+_Oil.htm

Who stands for Big Oil and who's against them?...


oh, and any Senator who opposes corporate welfare in the form of subsidies and tax breaks is definitely standing tall and proud on behalf of us little guys...

Everytime I comb my hair, Thoughts of U get in my eyes, U're a sinner, I don't care, I just want your creamy thighs

Get to know me... Ask Ren Hoek anything

A working class hero is something to be...

So he's started in his backyard - what about yours?
