I've been saying for years the way to revive and restore the economy ( and it would have headed off these oil price problems as well ) was to-
1- drill for gas & oil like crazy- onshore, offshore, and in Alaska
2- go nuclear for power
3- convert stationary plants to clean coal technology
4- slash taxes and regulations like crazy
Wow- just in time for $3 a gallon gasoline...
Don't forget the knee-jerk reaction of all left wing liberals when it comes to energy--
First, they just lie. They always lie. They start every single argument with lies. They paint ANWR as some pristine wildlife refuge where all of our cute furry animals are sitting in green fields frolicking with each other.
Second, their history of bad predictions that never panned out are never brought up. All of this garbage was brought up decades ago with drilling in Purdhome Bay and the pipeline.
Third, the left demands energy independence but can't get their brains out of the toilet long enough to realize what it will take to do so. They won't allow nuclear, coal digging, oil drilling, offshore rigs, etc. But they instead throw out more decade old arguments about solar power and wind power (unless those windmills are off the coast of Martha's Vineyard and ruin a liberals view).
-more-
When I started driving in 1977 the price of regular was $ 0.58 per gallon.
God forbid we drill Alaska...
Most of the price of a gallon of gas is from taxes. But don't hold your breath waiting for any pol to suggest a cut. I heard three retail clerks talking the other day about how we should tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Like that would fix everything. Sheesh. People are so unbelievably clueless.
The $1.60 or so a gallon we are paying is about 80 cents gas and 80 cents tax. Europeans $4.00 a gallon is 80 cents gas and $3.20 tax.

More idiocy, from idiots:
Other ideas?

Thanks for the report- it's averaging $2.99 for regular on the Georgia coast, and I haven't seen any bagged or blocked off pumps, suggesting that there is no great problem with getting it. Other than the price, of course.

More Good news - Mexico Gulf supply onstream: Shell -- Is anyone going to point out the stunning difference in performance between the 'evil, profiteering oil companies' and the 'compassionate government' in all this.
On one hand the private sector (big oil) is up and running, pumping and refining oil while the local, state and feds are taking forever to get things done.

U.S. Appears to Have Avoided Massive Oil Supply Problems -- What is wrong with this picture: vast areas of the US are off limits to drilling known reserves, yet the Times frets we "depend" on foreign oil. This is illustrative of the type of thinking that spends millions on school buses to achieve racial balance in schools, yet cannot seem to use them to evacuate the parents of those students when necessary to save lives. It is thinking that has been dangerously corroded by liberal ideology.

Buy more fuel efficient cars, people. There's a popular attitude here that since the libs are against it, commuting for hours a day in the biggest least fuel efficient vehicle available must be conservative and patriotic. One month of $3.00 gas won't change that, but a couple years might.
One year of $2.00 gas has already done more to encourage fuel efficient personal vehicles than the past 20 of CAFE.
