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).

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:

Oil prices aren't rising. The dollar is falling. Relative to the price of a basket of other commodities such as copper, gold, steel, etc, oil prices are pretty much constant. Ironically enough, the dollar does not seem to be dropping against the world currencies I check.

I don't see what the big whoop is. So gas is three bucks a throw. I'm over it. Let everyone else get over it too. We got bigger fish to fry.

Dumping our fear (Andrew Bolt) -- WE need to dig this hi-tech dump of Bob Hawke's, and not just to bury nuclear waste.
Short answer-- what to do with spent nuclear fuel?

Is Oil Shale The Answer?
-- The enviro Nazis have always thrown a fit over what to do with the huge amount of waste residue oil shale processing produces, which is a contaminate. The new process leaves the waste in an inert form which can be used for road paving with just small additions of asphalt. It can also be used in construction for making cinder blocks, in concrete, fire proof building siding, or even for land fill purposes.

Higher energy costs permeate nearly every part of the economy and ultimately will result in falling purchasing power and standards of living.
Other than that, no big deal. Of course, this problem is merely symptomatic of much larger problems.

Stations Nixing Gasoline On Credit (Tampa) -- It is going to be a long hard Winter if this continues. I put the blame directly at the feet of SPINELESS Senators where it belongs, ANWR should have been just about to come on line, additional drilling in the Gulf and Liquefied CLEAN Coal could also be just about on line and all of it could have been accomplished in 2001 or 2002...
