Assume that they KNOW that the energy return on invested energy is negative, AND, at prices Americans can pay there is a negative USDollar return on every barrel produced. <br />WHY? One reasonable explanation for this is the same why that drives car title and payday loans: last resort, buying time. By generating a few million barrels per day and a few million cubic feet, the US Dollar has perceived value to the world petroleum market as they assume that the frack juice and gas is deliverable. It's not, of course, but it keeps the world supplied with Dolloros on the margin. <br />Every once in a while, I hear Sean Hannity declare 'Merka energy independent! Team America! Fuucck Yeah!, while we use 20MBpd of good refinery feedstock and frack 12MBpd of superlight flammible crap juide n gas. I was proficient on 3rd grade maths time tests and 12 minus twenny is a non-exportable amount of fuel. Then, there is the 10% ethanol they mandate in my fuel to "reduce emissions" while it makes my older cars run bad and get 10% fewer mpg. The fuel station pumps have a warning sticker for owners of older cars cautioning that ethanol corrodes rubber and may result in vehicle fire! Please, spend mass quantities of dough with your local mechanic or buy a new car. <br />pdxr13Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-5375789802649819652019-12-01T15:07:11.086-08:002019-12-01T15:07:11.086-08:00I grew up near a road.

We do have a "sweet spot"...Good question. We do have a "sweet spot" with the Niobrara formation but it's nowhere near as big as, say, the Permian. I think the issue was with environmental concerns about fracking in this Blue State. Colorado was putting out about 500,000 barrels of oil per day and was #6 in the US in natural gas production. Most of the extraction, however, was done with fracking. However, we (Coloradans) had measures on the November 2018 ballot pertaining to fracking regulations and perceived safety issues which would have drastically reduced newly drilled wells and shut down many existing wells (more here: https://www.denverpost.com/2018/11/06/colorado-proposition-112-results/ ). That slowed the entire industry down for a while, especially in light of a fatal explosion of a house due to accumulated natural gas which leaked from a nearby well. It appears that the slowdown due to legal uncertainties has been resolved with the passage if a bill in the state legislature ( https://www.bizjournals.com/denver/news/2019/04/16/colorado-new-oil-regulations-sb-181-law.html ) but it also cut the number of new permits by one half ( https://www.bizjournals.com/denver/news/2019/11/08/colorado-oil-and-gas-well-permitting-post-reform.html ). My guess is that with the number of new wells curtailed the oil companies are focusing on getting the most out of existing wells and bringing in people like these fellows from Texas to bring them into compliance to the new regulations. Adding cost to an already losing proposition - what could go wrong?

Minions ha...I don't talk much about reloading. Minions hate my choice of Lee. First, they said you couldn't load fast enough, then they said it would definitely break within a few hundred rounds. I still swear by Lee Loader. Best for a bolt action anyway. I have two for the Enfield, and a kind minion sent me one for the 357. I buy shot from Amazon as no one local sells lead ( not even the metal recycle place ). You can use 12v batteries, or not as the chemical saturated metal will kill you, take your pick on reports. I use shotgun powder for the rifle, as it is cheaper and will shoot pistol rounds as a carbine load ( I also have full size loads, but will cannibalize Russian 54 rounds I bought when they were 25cents each, and nobody had any reloading supplies to sell ). I use the lee bullet mold 311-93-1r ( .311, 93 gr ) for the carbine loads. Your Mosin can use the same. It was just too expensive to put aside 5k in reloading at full power. The 303 gets about 150 rounds per pound of powder, rifle rounds ( 350-450 carbine, depending on powder charge. 13g has been used but I want a bit more. You use shotgun powder because the case needs to be over half full ) I think yours would be similar.
