It’s already $3.39 here.
While in Philly the other day it seemed like every 100% car was a Prius, is it like that around you?
Will 5$ a gallon wake Americans up? Hell now. At least 1/3 of Americans are brain dead and will stumble all over themselves in a stupor and bitch but will have no idea they caused it.
If gas climbs to $4 a gallon again, the economy will collapse again.
There are no buses or trains within 200 miles of my rural location. Guess they'll have to send me to a relocation camp.
The sun does not rise, it appears to rise.
The price of oil is not rising, it appears to be rising.
The truth is that Barry, Tim and Ben are devaluing the dollar.
When will people get that they are stealing from all of us in every transaction?
And it will be Bush's fault.
With demand for oil increasing in China and India as well as the US, the price of oil will continue to increase as will drilling in the United States.
However, I’m not sure about the $149 oil, but $110 or 120 dollar oil is very likely unless there is some great negative impact on the world’s demand for oil.
Increased oil prices will simply mean that the world’s economy is improving.
The left WANT gas at 5 bucks a gallon. 5 buck a gallon will cause food prices to skyrocket.
This gives the left cover they need to demonize big energy as greedy and food companies as stingy.
The media will play the ‘we need government’ card to demand that American’s right to food is an entitlement much like the left have done with health care and housing.
Control food and you control the population.
Remember, EVERYTHING the left does is in increments with the ultimate goal of not just controlling the country but mostly depopulation.
that's $220 a barrel
He and his henchmen are doing what is necessary to make sure that happens. He meant what he said and yet the idiots voted for him anyway.
To the degree that new potential oilfields are on lands that are controlled by BLM, or under sea in areas controlled by the government, inevitably the issue becomes political.
Oil companies are going to make their money one way or the other; they primarily work as contractors for government oil companies around the world. You can encourage drilling here and collect the royalties into the national treasury, and benefit from the production and construction and engineering jobs that result, or you can see the drilling and development shift away. The oil companies will make theirs either way.
The difference is, where do the royalties go, and whose people get hired.
“They are joined by environmentalists who have long believed that only high prices will break America’s passion for the automobile.”
If gas keeps going up, the only thing that’ll be broken is some environutzi’s nose.
