Crude oil dropped to $105/bbl Monday, down $1.26. After hours the price continued to fall, as of midnight it was hanging around $102/bbl.
Since hitting it’s high at 147.27 on July 11 (that’s still less than 2 months ago), the price has fallen almost 30%. According to most Democrats, this would only be possible if actual [...]
The price of crude is hovering around $115 / bbl. At this point, I suspect it won’t make much motion, especially not downward, until some real action is finally taken by Congress to open up drilling. I agree with the refrain of Republicans to do “all of the above”, that is, work the alternative energy [...]

Pickens is pushing wind energy to generate electricity, and using that to offset natural [...]

Interesting. When you’re a total failure as house speaker, what do you do? You call the President a total failure. CNN:

Let’s take a moment to look at the Democrat response to the President’s weekly radio address… where Energy is the issue.
