So environmental standards are the same for US production and production in Venezuela? Iraq? Iran? Saudi? etc...? Ok Dung.
No. That's not what I said at all. Increased production poses increased local environmental risk. So maybe you're reducing environmental risk in Venezuela, Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia, which is good, but you're increasing environmental risk in the United States.
Oh yeah, I forgot... there isn't a benefit because Dung thinks all environmental standards are the same world wide.
Uh . . .
No dung... employment benefits are not over stated, if anything they are understated. Because for the most part people reporting on the jobs are just looking at the oil/gas industries when discussing the issue. Not looking at the ancillary benefits.
No, they're overstated.
Awww... so cute... dung has a chart about what we CURRENTLY do. So good to have dung here to tell us that our CURRENT production is not enough to make us energy independent. WHO KNEW?
I didn't realize it was 2040 already. Whoa. Time flies.
Uh... yeah... you are fucking retarded. 1 and 2 are certainly related, but they are not the same. We benefit in jobs created here and those jobs keep the money here. But number 2 is different as it addresses the fact that other countries benefit from our not producing everything we can here. 3 is not nonsense. You haven't shown a thing in support of your bullshit position. Your SAYING it can't happen doesn't make it true.
Oh, but you SAYING it makes it so? LOL. I posted a chart of projections from the Energy Information Adminstration, which may know a thing or two about it.
On 4... again... tell us Dung... are environmental protections the same worldwide when it comes to production/distribution?
LOL.
