VERY SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THE CURRENT GAS PRICES.
FIRST - OUR BELOVED CONGRESS NEEDS TO PASS A BILL TO ALLOW IMMEDIATE DRILLING FOR OIL IN ALASKA AND IN THE GULF. THIS WILL SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF THE TOWEL HEADS THAT CONTROL THE OIL AND PRICES WILL DROP TO KEEP US FROM DRILLING. NO THREAT, WE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH A PLAN TO START DRILLING. STEP TWO - START BUILDING REFINERY'S LIKE RIGHT NOW. ALONG THE MEXICO BOARDER WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO START THE CONSTRUCTION. STEP THREE - STOP WRITING CHECKS FOR FOREIGN AIDE TO EVERY BROKE ASS COUNTRY THAT HAS THEIR HAND OUT. TAKE THAT MONEY AND SPEND IT ON THOSE IN NEED IN THIS COUNTRY. MY TWO CENTS. OH, ALSO ELECT OUT OF OFFICE ANY PUBLIC SERVANT WHO VOTES FOR OVER TAXING THE MIDDLE CLASS AND GIVING IT AWAY TO THE BROKE ASS FOREIGN COUNTRY'S. OH, AND TO THE LIBERALS ON THIS BOARD, GET OVER IT. THIS IS MY OPINION.
I don't care a rat's a$$ if you drill for oil in the middle of Yosemite or Yellowstone. You can drill, pump, refine and bring to market a bazillion barrels and it's not gonna bring the price down. You're talking Supply Side economics which went the way of the dinosaurs with the Reagan Administration. Every aspect of world economy today is driven by demand and thanks to us ( in our thirst for more and cheaper everything ) creating a new middle class in China there are now about 20 million more people driving cars than a few years ago. And oh yeah, a few million or so in the former Soviet block countries. So don't expect demand to go away either. And do you really think that having proven that they can charge $4 a gallon and get away with it that you'll ever see gas below that price again. So drill , drill, drill -- -anywhere and everywhere you want. I honestly don't care. You can drill in my back yard if it makes you happy. Getting the oil out of the ground is just a convenient excuse so people like you expend all your energy on ranting about the liberals costing you money. You're focused on supply and supply isn't the issue. The issue is demand. And whether you agree or not, again, I couldn't care less, but the only way to deal with demand is to design and build cars that don't run on fossil fuels. Now you can call that a pinko commie left wing tree huggin liberal idiot idea if you want, but there is one certainty in this whole issue. Sooner or later, maybe later if we drill anywhere and everywhere, but at some point, the oil will run out. I don't care what you do, but when that happens I sure as hell don't want a fossil fuel vehicle in my driveway.
