Drill our own oil. Look at it this way......the automobile has been around for over 100 years now. Look at when they were first made and what they have evolved into today. People say we only have 200 years of oil left.....if that is true, what do you perceive the automobile will become in the next 100 years? We probably won’t need gas to run cars. So why not drill our own oil. This question is beyond belief..........who says we can’t drill our own oil? Doesn’t it belong to the people of this country?

Drilling wont help.

The falling dollar is the cause.

A weak dollar helps our manufacturing however.

How the RNC/WH cannot use this issue of rising oil prices to slam ANWAR (and other off shore modern day drilling techniques) down the Democrats throats....and right to the American public....is dumb founding.

This is a bread and butter issue that would drive people to the polls.

Yeah, the reality is we need refinery capacity (those such issues) but drilling for our own oil (with a clear determination to do such!!) would have an impact on OPEC and the world oil markets. The symbolism of such would cause prices to go down.

Or in the case of the "Earth First" crowd, more like a case of...

[Mr. K]

Thus showing the world WHY THE USA is the best country in the world.

We nicely buy and pay for their oil, instead of just taking it.

If it was not for the USA, the rest of the world would be marching on the middle east to take control of the oil?

This is peak oil. Actually a month ago.

And the winds, whisper, ANWR

Beautiful Hendrix tune to imagine those reserves coming online.

And when drilling commences there, think Hendrix's "FIRE"

ANWR is the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

ANWAR is the late former President of Egypt.

The Dems already have this problem solved ...just tax gasoline more and hit the greedy oil companies with a windfall profits tax. We won't care about the price of crude when gasoline is $4/gallon due to added taxes and there are long lines at the pumps.

[Phantom Lord]

Little known and NEVER mentioned in any press report or anti-ANWAR drilling lit is that when congress created ANWAR, section 1002 of ANWAR was set aside specifically for drilling!

Also, Cuba and China are drilling on the continental shelf within 45 miles of Florida, but we can’t. Makes perfect sense to me. How about you?

The greenies have been keeping new coal plants from being built due to the carbon emissions. This coal will burn clean, I’m enraged

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Hey, the higher oil and gold go, the higher the stock market goes. Right? Let’s wish for $125 oil and we’ll all be rich!!
