How much can this hurt the Frac recovery

Gun, the 680 weighs a little over 30000#.

The X and the Falcon weigh about the same ... So flying at the same speed, you would expect about the same fuel flows. The X going at top speed is what makes it a fuel hog.

680 is about 6000 lbs lighter ... so yeah it would save a lot of fuel. I thought it was a lot closer to the X's weight.

Right! But what about the other Presidents over the past 40 years?

Congress has far more power than any President and we keep electing the same gas bags every 2 and 6 years.

I agree but, the burden falls on the one who can lead presently. We can all argue how bad previous presidents did and blame everything on George Bush, but Obama campaigned on it and nothing has been done. He spent the enitre first year of his presindency on health care. It needed to be addresses but energy independance has national security implications, one of the main puposes of the federal government. Like him or not, we need a Chris Christie type person in the WH. Not affraid to act, not worried about what he says.

It doesn't even have to be a Nuke.

A dirty bomb, that makes Manhattan, uninhabitable for decades? Talk about shock waves to the economy.

True, post 9/11, many of the financial institutions have back up locations, some in New Jersey. But imagine the impact coast to coast if everyone was thinking, what city is next?

Its just a matter of time before we attack Iran. I can't imagine the US Gov't allowing those nut cases to develop a Nuke.

A dirty bomb could never happen with any effect. It would take so much radioactive material that it would kill the bomb maker(s) before they could finish making it.

You are correct. Obama was the first canadate to campaign on "change" and "cleaning up Washington". It's never been tried before. If only previous Presidential Candidates had thought to use "change" as rhetoric...

The oil prices rising now is good for us, as it will encourage us to kick our foreign oil addiction sooner rather than later. Prices WILL be going up, down the road, and DRASTICALLY. The sooner we stop using oil as a major transportation fuel, the better. That is THE main reason the AF and DOD are trying to wean themselves from oil ASAP. The AF goal is 50% non-oil based jet fuel for ALL domestic flying by 2016!!!

You put way too much faith in humanity. As consumers, we have a very short memory and we don't see very far into the future. As soon as prices start falling again, any encouragement to kick the oil habit will be for not.

I agree with what you find as ideal. Unfortunately, it will be the exception rather than the rule.
