High gas prices...just another tax! Why doesn't Bush open up the strategic oil reserve?
Reuters ^

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

Gas seen hitting $2 per gallon
Washington Times ^ | Tuesday, March 9, 2004 | By Tom Ramstack

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).

Those Bloodsucking Oil Merchants
Posted by: Dale Franks on Tuesday, May 09, 2006
 

Quite a lot of political energy has been generated by politicians railing against the oil companies, their greed, their excessive profits, yadda, yadda, yadda. Oil companies are a popular whipping boy, of course, but just how hard are they squeezing us? I whipped up a chart to compare the real price of Crude Oil and gasoline every month from 1980 until today. Here's my little chart (click to enlarge; Price label shown is for Crude):

For some inexplicable reason, the real price of gasoline at the pump seems to closely mirror the price of crude oil. Like, "Supply & Demand!" When buying a commodity, you must sell it at a price that is high enough to cover the commodity's future replacement cost. And, of course, there's also this to think about:

Time for New Drill in Search of Crude(Current techniques miss out on huge reserves)

 

http://www.instapundit.com/

JONATHAN ADLER: "If Congress really cares about high gasoline prices -- even if the gasoline is more affordable than in decades past -- they should consider the role of current federal policies in reducing supply, balkanizing markets, enhancing price volatility, and discouraging alternative fuel sources. Yet if Congress won't even reduce tariffs on ethanol imports -- which would significantly reduce the costs associated with current ethanol mandates -- I see little hope for more meaningful policy reforms."

WHO'S AGAINST DRILLING FOR OIL

House Votes for Energy Dependence

What happened to all that strong language about energy independence and the need to wean ourselves from foreign oil, and all that whining about the price of gasoline? When push came to shove, the House voted to continue the offshore drilling ban. Because oil wells are so ugly. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)  link: 137 comments
