We are currently at an important crossroads in American history.  One part of the country cares deeply about the planet and climate change and feels that Americans should embrace the “Go Green” movement.  The other part believes that domestically produced oil and gas is important to preserving the US economy and the American way of life.

Stage 1 thinking about the “Go Green” movement has chosen to demonize the domestic oil and gas industry believing them the primary cause of greenhouse emissions causing climate change. As such political pressure to reduce domestic oil and gas production has resulted in a reduced global supply driving up the price of crude oil. 

What most “Go Green” movement evangelists fail to realize is that most domestically produced oil is known as sweet crude which is less toxic and far more environmentally friendly than sour crude produced in other parts of the world.  Simply outsourcing oil and gas production to countries that extract sour crude does not reduce overall greenhouse emissions but in fact, makes it worse in the long run.

Moreover, many nations with large oil reserves like Iran and Russia not only do not care about climate change but they are overtly hostile to America and our way of life. In the absence of our highly regulated and far more environmentally friendly domestic oil and gas production practices, these often corrupt oil-producing countries are picking up the slack by the drop in US oil and gas production and profiting at the expense of American consumers making us weaker and them stronger while creating a greater negative impact on climate change.

However, for savvy investors, this has created a huge opportunity to profit from the “Go Green” mania while helping our nation and the environment at the same time. 

Investments in domestic oil and gas production:

• Reduces our dependence on foreign oil used to prop up oil-rich and corrupt regimes hostile to the American way of life.
• Allows for the extraction of much more environmentally friendly light sweet crude from American soil by American workers using American-produced products.
• Puts the brakes on runaway inflation hitting the wallets of every American because of higher energy costs used in about every industry from farming, transportation, construction, and the commuter trying to scratch out a decent living for their families.

That is why all of us at LearnAboutOilAndGas are committed to getting the word out about the need for investments in the right direct participation oil and gas programs.  Investments in oil and gas are not about making sacrifices, instead, it is about the potential to make huge profits while restoring America to its former glory and supporting the American workingman.
