Rising gas prices: Energy solutions are needed, not excuses (Pelosi, where's my lower gas cost?)

The Oklahoman ^ | 5/25/2008 | Sen. Jim Inhofe

...Germans have to finally resort to synthetic gasoline , yes very soon after Gasoline went past $4/gallon.

[Eye of Unk]

The germans indeed had the capability, they even had the worlds first fuel cell sub.

[SAJ]

The way to lower prices, effectively permanently (3 generataions at least), is to develop the CO and UT shales (this technology works today, not 10-20 years down the road) and to augment the supply with synthetic benzene and similar products.

This will sooner or later require a countervailing tariff on imported crude. Why? Because the price of crude, over 5-10 years, is apt to fall below break-even for production of kerogens from shale, which level is $38-42/bbl now, and will likely fall as improvements to production processes are discovered.

One other nice thing about shale kerogens and synthetic aromatics: they require either very little refining or none at all.

Solution: Sell your oil stock and buy BICYCLE STOCK.

==> “Educated and Liberal are contradictory states.” <==

True, but liberalism and attending an elite educational establishment and receiving a worthless degree (the liberal indoctrination masquerading there as an education) are perfectly compatible.

[an amused spectator]

Blame congress? Nope, the responsibility is ours.

Sure.

And when the local high school JV baseball team gets stomped by the New York Yankees in an exhibition game, they didn't practice hard enough.

Congress has had decades to perfect their shuck-and-jive.

Why do you think we still have the AMT looming over us after both parties had ample time to eliminate it?

[Bommer]

I have it on good account from a high IQ college educated liberal that it is Bush/Cheney that are the sole cause of high gas prices.

But what happened to the war for oil????

We did the immmigration bills by calling non stop to our congress people.. I think we should do that again.. I h ave been calling mine a couple a times a day.. and more people need to find out what Pelosis commonsense plan was to lower gas prices.... so far I have not got an answer...

If any of you own a gas station, do us all a favor and post this image prominently where your patrons can/will see it:

"It impossible to be educated and Liberal"

Actually, I think it really depends on what you mean by 'educated.' What our public schools and universities are doing is 'educating' their students in Liberal nonsense.

[BARLF]

I agree, we need to fax,email and phone. Congress listens when we tie up their communications.
