I'd like to drill holes in your brains. That's not me, that's Nancy Pelosi, compassionate liberal and Democratic leader. And most amazingly she's not talking to almost born babies, but to adults. Adults who dare suggest that we drill for oil.
Drill through dirt and rock? Heaven forbid! Baby's heads instead.

Nancy Pelosi is a lunitic.
She also is about to get excommunicated from her Church.
Thanks

RC,
If that ever happened I might become a Catholic... well maybe not.

I agree with you LJ. I think that all drilling in the country should be done like we do in Ohio and that you can drill in any municipality you want whenever you can get the land. Take this fine example:
quote:
Another detrimental statute is the mandatory pooling law which allows drilling companies to use private property to assemble enough land to drill a well, Matsko said.
The drilling companies need only to have the cooperation of 90 percent of the land owners involved, which can lead to unwanted wells being drilled 100 feet from a home, Matsko said.
NEOGAP has been contacted by some residents of a Dec. 15 explosion caused by a gas well in Bainbridge. Some 26 households on English, Scotland and Kingswoood drives were evacuated after the home of Richard and Thelma Payne, 17975 English Drive blew up.
Drill in your residential back yard like in Ohio.
quote:
Companies that drill oil and gas wells have free rein. If someone wants to slam in an oil well right behind your house, you and your mayor or your township trustees are powerless to stop it.
That wasn't the case until September 2004, when the Ohio legislature — goaded by drillers and property owners who wanted to cash in — took away all local control and handed it to the state.
Today, the only group that can turn thumbs-down on a drilling application is the Ohio Department of Natural Resources — and those folks have rejected exactly one Summit County application since the law went into effect.
The lone rejection wasn't exactly controversial: A drilling company falsely claimed it had the rights to a certain piece of land.
Good Christian Conservatives want wells right here next to this old couples back yard in a residential area. They'd only be happier if they were dropped outside of hospitals and schools. See page 2 for happy old couple in nice residential area with wells going off 24 hours a day
So there you have it. If you're state doesnt allow drilling next to your yard, your school, your church or your hospital than Nancy must have drilled your head with an oil rig. ; ) Ohio- the land of infinite drilling thanks to our last Republican Governor The Big 8 (aka Bob Taft) and our Republican controlled House and Senate.

I was talking down to the level of the OP. Nowhere did I see anyone drilling for brains in the first article either.
In seriousness though I would love to see us increase drilling in many places but I'm not all out gusto for it and it no longer bothers me when people are against it. It can annoy me but I'm not against it. Remember though I live in a state with incredibly liberal drilling laws that were put in place by alleged "conservatives".

Wasn't that in the actual title of the article? Didn't Nancy Pelosi actually say that?

I agree that it seems Ohio has gone too far. In this day and age, there is no need to drill right on top of the oil reservoir. Directional drilling has been around for decades and is just getting better and better and more precise. If oil is under a certain patch of residential property the well could be placed a good distance away from that property.

Yes it was and I believe it now since it's all over today besides off of some abstract blog.

Though we do have a good bit of wells of oil and natural gas in the state how far away could you drill for oil when you talk about distance?

There are artificial islands off the coast of Long Beach, California with wells that extend under the ground of downtown Long Beach. My guess is that is a distance of 5 miles or more. Those islands have been there for more than 30 years... maybe as much as 40 years.

That is absurd then that they allow those rigs to be in the areas that they are in. : /

Pure fantasy. I have no knowledge on oil drilling in Ohio, so you can't possibly agree with me. I do however have an opinion about drilling for people's brains. It should be illegal in all cases, which is proof that I am not a liberal or a leader in the Democratic party.

It would qualify you to be a Republican Governor in California. ; )

Well in one area they had 26 homes evacuated and a home explode from an accident. Is that normal or not? Safe or not? Sorry but you seem as if you're from Texas and all so I am asking you these questions. ; )
What isn't absurd and is wrong is that local municipalities have no say in where they can go.

I totally agree! Local Municipalities should say where they can and cannot go. Why Nancy Pelosi should have more say then the people of Kaktovik in opening ANWR is a little beyond me.
I realize the people there weren't necessarily talking about ANWR but I still don't understand why she has so much more say then they do.

It seems like what you are saying is absurd is the situation in Ohio? If so. yes I agree. That is why I told about the offshore islands in Long Beach.
If you are saying it is absurd that they allowed the drilling in Long Beach, I still don't understand. I know of no safety or environmental concerns there. Most residents in Long Beach are not even aware the rigs exist.
I agree that local municipalities should, indeed, have a say on where ANY industrial facilities are placed... oil rigs, factories, etc.

I thought slant drilling was illegal- if the oil is under someone's property, that property owner should be paid for it should they not?

Your example of Long Beach was fine. After hearing you describe "slant drilling" it seems even more absurd the way we do it here. : /

Just a question? ....and showing my stupidity.........
With aLl this driLling and taking from the Lower aspects of our earth, if we are not endangering persons and things immediateLy, are we endangering our future generations Leaving potentuaL sink hoLes? SLant driLling under cities???? Are there measures being taken to prevent this (sink holes) from occuring? Callifornia and earthquakes??????? OLd mine shafts????
With little imagination, I can see mass problems down the lline.
Is there anything is prophesy declaring us responsible with this one folly? LOL
Oh, well......................

I have never heard of any law against "slant" or "directional" drilling. Perhaps there is a law in certain states. All I know is that this has been done in Long Beach since the mid-1960s. The city of Long Beach has enjoyed a steady revenue stream from those islands. It has also been done in Alaska, and off the coast of all of the Gulf states. Mineral rights are very carefully monitored and the owners are compensated - many times, the owners of the property rights are the citizens of a state, like Alaska. Drilling at a slant or hoizontally does not mean that the location of the oil being extracted is not known. It is known precisely.
