Title: The International Energy Agency Report: A 10-Point Plan to Cut Oil Use
Topic: Oil & Gas
Discussed by Bill Sydow
with Staff Writer/the LINK Letter
Part 1 of 2
On March 28, 2022, the International Energy Agency released their
10-Point
Plan to Cut Energy Use.
Bill Sydow is the Retired Director of the Oil and Gas Commission from
the State of Nebraska and a former Engineer with King Ranch Oil and Gas
in Texas. Today he offers his expert opinion on this 10-point plan.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
What is the “every-other-day” plan? Bill explains how this plan will
restrict private car use on roads in large cities.
What is the “stay home on Sunday” plan? Would this ban the use of
private cars on Sundays? Is this another way to stop people from going to
church?
Why does this plan include reducing the speed limit on highways by 10 kph (which
translates to a reduction in 6.5 mph in the US)?
Does this 10-point plan want more people to work from home more often?

WWhy do “they” want to tax the miles we drive? Would this really make a
difference? Bill says: “I don’t think that would reduce oil consumption at
all, Terry, because there is a certain requirement for driving to get things
done in our country.”
Since gas prices have skyrocketed over the past few months, many people
(especially on the Left) are hailing electric vehicles as the answer. How is the
lithium mined and processed that is used for the batteries in electric cars?

Title: Russia Is Just Biden’s Scapegoat for Rising Gas Price
Topic: Oil & Gas
Discussed by Jason Isaac
with American Energy Institute (AmericanEnergyInstitute.com)
Scapegoat: A person or group made to bear the blame (via www.dictionary.com)
Jason Isaac with Life:Powered at the Texas Public Policy Foundation discusses his recent article on this topic, found
here
. Jason previously served four terms in the Texas House of Representatives.
Jason wrote: “President Joe Biden’s announcement that the United States would ban Russian oil imports in response to the attack on Ukraine was met with serious concern from both sides of the aisle because of the impact it could have on already record high gas prices.”

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Did Obama boldly declare on the campaign trail in 2008: “Under my plan… electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket”? Is this happening again under the Biden Administration?
FACT: Electricity costs in Germany have skyrocketed 60% in the last year due to their “clean energy” policies, resulting in many deaths in the freezing months because people cannot afford to heat their homes.
Are celebrities and others demanding that banks cease funding to the Canadian pipelines?
Serious Question: Does the Left live in an alternate universe where electricity is produced out of thin air? Jason says:
“It blows my mind how the Left thinks they can get electricity from rainbows and unicorns. It just doesn’t happen.” He goes on to place the blame on the Biden Administration…
Is oil and gas being produced in cleaner and safer ways anywhere else in the world as compared to American production? SHORT ANSWER: No.
LONG ANSWER: Listen as Jason explains how much cleaner oil and gas production is in America, including shipping it overseas.
Some Democrats want to ban all oil and gas activity on Federal lands. Can this mindset be reversed? Jason discusses what must be done in the short-term and long-term to get America back to energy independence.

Why can’t America “drill here and drill now”?
Did humans cause the Ice Age?
What is “their” end-game?
Bill Sydow is the retired Director of the Nebraska Oil and Gas Commission. Today, he discusses a recent Fox News segment “Dems Urge Biden to Increase Domestic Energy Production in the Face of Skyrocketing Gas Prices.”
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Why can’t we just turn on the oil spigot overnight? Bill explains that it’s not just about oil; parts and even labor are even in short supply…
Is the cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline Permit just one outward sign of the misguided hatred that the elites have for fossil fuels?
From day one, has the Biden Administration punished oil and gas explores and producers? Bill discusses just how far the Biden Administration has gone to stop oil and gas production. It’s completely ridiculous!
Is there a coordinated effort to shut-off needed new capital loans for exploration and production? Even more ridiculous: Bill explains that some lenders are not looking at companies’ credit scores now. They are looking at their carbon footprint. “There may be loans that will not made to very viable companies because they have the wrong worldview,” he says.
What practical steps can be taken to increase oil and gas production in the US near and long-term?

Part 1 of 2
Former Texas State Representative Jason Isaac is the current
Director of Life:Powered, a project of the Texas Public Policy
Foundation. Their goal is to ensure that we, our children, and grandchildren continue to benefit from abundant, reliable, safe, and clean energy.
Jason recently wrote: “Our nation’s leaders must have missed the Schoolhouse Rock episode on supply and demand. The basic principles of economics…are astonishingly simple. The scarcer oil is, the more expensive it is.”

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Could the Biden Administration pursue policies that would increase energy supplies and make energy sources more reliable, clean, and safe? Jason says: “YES – and they could even do it with American energy supplies not OPEC or Russia like they’ve been begging to produce more while killing American energy.”
Since Biden took office a little over a year ago, what has happened to the supply of energy in the US?
Has the Biden administration caused energy sources within the US to become scarcer? Jason discusses several reasons why.
The Biden Administration blames higher energy prices in the US on OPEC and collusion amongst the major energy companies within the US. Is this an accusation accurate?
What is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve? Why does Biden want to tap into it? Will it help both in the short term and long term? Jason says: “Short term: yes. Long term: no.” He then explains how it will punish American energy producers.

Discussed by Dr. David Kreutzer
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Part 1 of 2
Energy is an integral component of human life around the world, yet it is often taken for granted. By tapping many of its uncovered resources, America has the potential to be the world’s largest producer of energy. With the right policies in place, tapping this energy can help create a vibrant and prosperous economy for decades to come.
David Kreutzer is a Senior Fellow with The Heritage Foundation. He is an expert on Energy and the Environment, Climate Change, Energy Policy, and Renewable Energy.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
First, there are three myths that must be overcome: It is better to leave it in the ground; we should use everyone else’s and save ours for last; and the greatest off-shoring of US jobs has been to shift oil and gas exploration, development, and refining offshore. Listen in as David Kreutzer discusses these myths.
Is energy still a fundamental element to basic human life? Is more modern energy needed in countries all across the world?
Has the US doubled oil production between 2008 and 2015? Is this because of federal energy policy, or in spite of it?

with Manhattan Institute (www.ManhattanInstitute.org)
Part 1 of 2
The last time we had an excess of oil in reserves was 1986.
There are now 2
billion more people on the earth consuming more oil than ever before. 30 million
more barrels daily, to be exact. The world’s population will not stop expanding.
People will not stop needing to cook and heat and cool their homes and
businesses. Therefore, we must continue to produce and provide oil and gas to
the world. But how?
Mark Mills is senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. Mark served in
the White House Science Office under President Reagan. He holds several patents
from his work in microprocessors, fiber optics, missile guidance, and nuclear
energy. Mark is here to discuss the oil industry’s transition for
Shale oil 1.0 to Shale 2.0. He does not believe the oil industry is dead or
dying. In fact, Mark says the demand will only increase.
“Businesses get lazy when the profits come easy, and that’s what is going on
now,” Mark explains about the current slump. He also discusses how technology
has affected the oil industry – both positively and negatively. Tune in to the

In the beginning of this
segment, host Terry Lowry relives the glory days from his time in the oil and
gas industry. He tells a lively story about spending money!! Listen in…
Companies do not just go spend money like they used to. They still need new,
young faces to join their teams, though! Mark Mills explains how technician and
trade jobs are most needed. Hundreds of thousands of people are retiring; these
are high-paying jobs that are in high demand.
Beware of government interference, though! Obama and his minions are blocking
the exportation of oil every chance they can. “Laws from a century ago need to
be changed and reflect modern time,” Mark says. Furthermore, lies about fracking
are crippling the production growth of oil and gas. The EPA has even admitted
they lied! Time to step up the game, folks. We need new policies. Period.
The Federal Government currently owns over half of the undeveloped land in
America, most of which can be used for oil and gas production, boosting our
economy even further. But, no! Obama won’t allow it. The Dems won’t allow it.
The environmentalists won’t allow it because a dung beetle in the middle of a
muddy swamp might be disturbed. Oh, the horror.

Title: America Needs a New Energy Policy
Topic: Oil & Gas
Discussed by Louis Finkel
with American Petroleum Institute www.API.org
Part 1 of 2
Did Obama’s administration
encourage oil and gas exploration in America? Or are lower gas prices in spite
of Obama and his minions? Millions of Americans are enjoying the lower gas
prices, but at what cost?
Louis Finkel is the Executive Vice President for Government Affairs with the
American Petroleum Institute. He is responsible for integrating API’s advocacy
resources – federal affairs, state affairs, mobilization, and communications. He
explains that for every penny gasoline goes down, it puts another BILLION
dollars into the pockets of American consumers. This is all well and good, but
thousands of oil and gas employees are waiting on pins and needles to see if
they have a job when they go to work tomorrow. Those who are responsible for
drilling the wells are worried they’re going to lose it all, just like the oil
crash in the 80’s.
Louis believes that what America needs right now more than anything is better
policies. In Texas alone, up to 62,000 new jobs could be created if Obama would
just pass good policies! Listen in as he explains his point of view and why it
is so important for the administration to begin drilling on federal land, not
just the private sector.

America is now the leading oil
and gas producer in the world, but it really has nothing to do with Obama. His
policies are putting a stop to new drilling at every turn, resulting in a
massive decrease in oil and gas production on federal land, while
privately-owned land production is thriving.
America’s job, economic, and military security all center around the energy
industry. It is time Obama and his cronies realize this and start making up for
lost time by opening the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic. Louis Finkel explains why
Obama is stalling, which is really quite shocking when you think about it.
Louis also believes that when America is allowed to export oil to other
countries in the world, our status in the global market will sky rocket. We are
not depending on others as much anymore; we have our own. Let’s get drilling,

Title: Part 2 of 2 - Loss of Oil from Iraq in America
Topic: Oil & Gas
Discussed by Marita Noon
with Energy Makes America Great
Drilling and fracking on private
and state lands rose by 61% from 2009 and 2013, but decreased by six percent on
federally owned land. Why such a vast difference?
What should our local, state, and federal governments really be focused on?
Caring for thousands upon thousands of illegal aliens? The horrible state of our
kids’ school lunches? Bill and Hillary’s “debt problem”?
Marita Noon says – and I agree with her – that our government must be focused on
producing more sustainable energy. We cannot simply rely on others to supply our
country with crude. We have plenty here. It’s time to take action.

Iraq exports approximately 3.5
million barrels of crude every day (as of February, 2014). America imports
roughly 300,000 of those barrels.
If all oil exports from Iraq stopped, what would happen? Would people really pay
$10-15 per gallon for gas? Or, would the world just shrivel up and die?

Title: Oil and Gas Expansion in America
Topic: Oil & Gas
Discussed by Karen Moreau

Part 1 of 3
In his State of the Union Address in 2012, Obama emphasized the importance of
job growth in America, but squashes every opportunity that arises, specifically
in the oil and gas industry.
The oil and gas industry supplies nearly 10 million jobs in the United States
and more than $86 million per DAY in revenue to our government. So, why do Obama
and his cronies want to impede expansion?
Listen in as Karen Moreau with the American Petroleum Institute explains.

We’ve had a dot-com crash, real estate crash, and the economic depression within
the last 10 years. Many public and private pensions, 401 (k’s), and IRA’s hold
stock in oil and gas companies.
If exporting goods and services to other counties is a good thing, then why not
export oil and gas? Furthermore, why not use more of our own countries oil and
gas ourselves?

America has become one of the top producers of oil and gas in the
world, which affects every single person in terms of heating and cooling our
homes, businesses, churches, and schools. It affects gas prices
for our cars, even the price of eggs and milk and your clothes!
President Obama’s agenda does not line up with more energy, lower consumer

Topic: Oil & Gas
Discussed by Wayne Christian
with Wayne Christian (ChristianForTexas.com)
According new federal data Oil production in Texas has hit its highest
monthly rate on record, more than doubling in less than three years.
The state pumped 2.7 million barrels of crude per day during September, the
highest monthly average since at least January 1981. Texas oil production had
been declining since the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s monthly
record-keeping began in 1981. But the tide abruptly turned in 2008 with the
beginning of the shale oil and gas boom.
Wayne Christian, candidate for Texas Railroad Commissioner, discusses this and
