Does the president have the power to declare an emergency and open up drilling?

This morning Stupak, my congresscritter, appeared on C-Span and made the incredible statement that if we drilled for oil in Alaska, the Japanese would swoop in and buy the oil at twice the market rate. Therefore, his reasoning goes, we should not drill for oil because the Japanese will get it, not Americans.

Never underestimate the abject stupidity of the average American voter when it comes to the environment or economics.

oil company profits on 1 gallon of gasoline.. $.09-$.10

average taxes on 1 gallon of gasoline.. $.43-$.49

wondering why politicians are pointing crooked fingers at the evil big oil companies? Wondering why the hildebeast wants to TAX big oil companies (who will past that on to the consumer anyways...(remember the Valdez).
Ask yourself why they (the politicians) aren't going after BANKS,PHAMACUTICALS,and TECHNOLOGIES...all who have made more in profits than oil companies.....could it be the always easy to increase gasoline tax?. Listen to the "gawks" coming out of hillery...tax tax tax "gawk"..tax tax tax

Naah, I like the price structure just the way it is. It costs me about $US45 to fill up, then I get about 750 miles to the tank or about a month of errands. Will they - y'all - finally be happy when the price reaches European levels? Maybe we can then join the One World and pay in Euros.

here's something to consider
A local highway, RT206 here where I live, went under construction a few years back. The idea was to widen a section of the highway for a lenght of three a half miles.
No major structures to move, no mountains to dynamite, a widening project...moving telephone poles,regrading,repaving..3 1/2 miles. It took 4 yrs to complete...4 LONG,CONE DODGING,CONSTRUCTION HORSE WRANGLING,LANE MANUEVERING,UNEVEN PAVEMENT BOUNCING YEARS...

.....in November of 1932, they redirected the colorado river and in September of 1935, Teddy Roos dedicated the Hoover Dam.
So much for local state road funds
