US energy officials hail 'freedom gas,' 'molecules of freedom' - GMDino - 05-31-2019 I really thought this was an Onion story.... https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/05/29/politics/doe-freedom-gas-natural-gas/index.html Quote:Washington(CNN)Two Department of Energy officials referred on Wednesday to natural gas produced in the US as "freedom gas" and "molecules of U.S. freedom" in a press release announcing the expansion of a natural gas facility in Texas. RE: US energy officials hail 'freedom gas,' 'molecules of freedom' - Au165 - 05-31-2019 I believe it's abbreviation on the periodic table is USA. RE: US energy officials hail 'freedom gas,' 'molecules of freedom' - NATI BENGALS - 05-31-2019 Wtf. Screw off with this exporting of our fossil fuels. I was always a huge fan of hoarding resources. So we are probably giving tax dollars to a private company who gets to make money hand over fist pumping finite resources out of our land and selling it to global competitors.

Give me a plan in action to get our species off this planet and i will feel better about bleeding my country dry of natural resources.

If a hurricane or other type of event inpacts prices, they use some of the reserve to lessen the impact. If I understand that right. Someone like stewy could probably clarify that.

Yeah Bush or Obama I think released some oil due to high prices or something. Can't recall the details, but I remember one of them doing it. RE: US energy officials hail 'freedom gas,' 'molecules of freedom' - fredtoast - 05-31-2019 Oil reserves are easy to store in really large amounts. Not sure about liquified Natural gas. I believe it has to be stored in extreme high pressure to remain in liquid form.. RE: US energy officials hail 'freedom gas,' 'molecules of freedom' - fredtoast - 05-31-2019 BTW while everyone has a hard on about the US becoming a natural gas exporter lets ignore the consequences of fracking and wastewater injection that make it possible for us to extract all this natural gas. Here is a chart of the number of earthquakes in Oklahoma. Can you guess when Fracking started to become widespread in the state? Probably just a crazy coincidence, right?

It's not because of Climate Change?? I thought everything was. In all seriousness, I lived there for 21 years, and never even knew what an earth quake was. Left there in 90's and thought it was a fairly safe place (other than tornadoes). And ya, it's a big coincidence, but someone's getting well greased pockets cause if I was in office that'd be one of the first things I make illegal.

In fairness, that was about the time the tornadoes started to rise. Soooo... the extra earthquakes are probably just a result from all the extra tornadoes. Or the Apocalypse is starting in Tulsa. RE: US energy officials hail 'freedom gas,' 'molecules of freedom' - TheLeonardLeap - 06-03-2019 Reminds me of in 2003 when they tried to brand "French fries" as "Freedom fries" because the French refused to back us in Iraq. |
