Fracking News

Three lies the oil and gas industry will tell you by Ed Ireland

February 12, 2012 By TXsharon

DISCLAIMER:

I did not make this video. (I would never use that cheesy shadow behind the font.)

I did not give permission to the maker of this video to use my videos in this video. But that’s okay because I don’t have my videos copyrighted and nearly everybody rips off my videos.

I received the link to this video in a comment HERE from Truth Teller. I clicked the link because it was too tempting.

All that said, I downloaded the video and watched it. I think Ed looks really good in it.

I just received an email saying this video is now available on YouTube.

    Had to look at this on YOUTUBE. Ed has never looked more devious. So I would have to say this is an accurate video.

      You saw this video on YouTube? Do you have a link?

      Aw, I think Ed looks really good in that video. He lies with such ease.

    If the process is so non-toxic, then why do animals die from drinking used frack water?

      That’s just a common misconception, Ghost. Ed said so. “It’s very clean.”

    Just three? Who knew we exported more than we imported? I guess I have been believing all the propaganda.
    This from Forbes:
    1) “Also adding to the U.S. exporting firepower: Refineries are more efficient, giving them an edge over older facilities in Europe,” the article says. “New drilling methods are boosting U.S. oil production, helping ensure steady supplies of raw material for refiners to process.”

    2) The slumping U.S. economy has suppressed domestic demand while strong activity in emerging markets has more than compensated.

    3) The last time the U.S. exported more oil-based products than it imported was in 1949, according to Liam Pleven of Markets Hub.

    4) America “sent abroad 753.4 million barrels of everything from gasoline to jet fuel in the first nine months of this year, while it imported 689.4 million barrels,” according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

    5) Just six years ago, the balance was tipped heavily in favor of imports as imports of petroleum products exceeded exports by 900 million barrels in 2005.
    6) The export boom marks the beginning of a “transformation of the energy system,” says Citigroup Inc.’s global head of commodity research Ed Morse in the article. “It’s the beginning signs of a process that will continue for the next decade and will point toward energy independence.”

    7) The leading importers of U.S. oil-based products were Mexico, Brazil, Netherlands, and Singapore.

    8) The import-export balance with Brazil and its booming economy has been turned upside-down: five years go, the U.S. was a net importer from Brazil, but last year exports to Brazil exceeded imports by almost 40 million barrels.

    9) North Dakota’s booming oil production has given the U.S. more crude to work with: “North Dakota’s oil production of 424,000 barrels per day in July was up 86% over the same period in 2009,” the article says.

    10) Drivers in the U.S. are consuming less gasoline this year than in some recent years.

      Sure makes you wonder why gas prices keep going up.
