We should do whatever it takes to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. This would include developing energy sources, improving gas mileage on cars, drilling for oil in the US (oil shale deposits could yield a ton of oil), and many other things.

I don't know why the shale deposits aren't being mined. Alberta is making a fortune off a very simular processing technology. Soon the Alberta government will be driving gold plated cars. These prices aren't hurting Canadian government coffers, that's for sure. You'd expect cheaper gas across the border, but that's not the case. They are tied to world market prices, and it's a boom for Canadians.

If we would tap into shale, it could be a boom for anyone living around there as well. But NOOOOOO, we have stupid enviromental protection policies in place to scare off anyone thinking about investing money into that project.

I could not agree more on developing our own fuel sources, including those windmills off the coast of Martha's Vineyards.

IMHO, all this gasoline stuff is diverting the American public from the WOT for the upcoming elections. Come November 9/11 will be sorely forgotten, just as W predicted.

Can't we open our eyes and see that it's Islam calling the shots on this one? Regardless of how many investigations into oil company profits, you can't squeeze oil out of a turnip, yet.

Wonder how many Sea Ray 42's are going to not gas up and go this summer?
