The people need to “DEMAND” lower prices, not just ask for them. Drill off the coast, build more refinerys, build Nuke plants. The people in this state need to knock our politicians off their pedastals once and for all. It’s illegal price control by them not doing this.
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.
The kind of legislation that Inhoof is proposing will eventually carry the day, but unfortunately, gas prices will have to sky rocket to get the American Public mad enough to make it happen.
Let’s start a futures market based on the price of gasolene on the day that congress votes to open ANWR and authorize offshore drilling. What will it take? 4.50,,5.00..6.00..
How long will the people suffer before they turn on the baffoons in Congress?
Lowering gas prices is pretty simple:
We need a long term and short term solution:
Short term- strengthen the dollar, that means cutting spending, and no more interest cuts by the Fed.
Long term- open up the entire country to exploring, obtaining, and using our natural resources, nothing should be left off the table.
If you like $4/gal, Thank Congress.
Heres another sensible energy bill that has no chance of passing.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
We’ll do what we did the last 35 years, bleat about high gas prices and then elect idiots in congress that will forbid drilling anywhere, increase environmental regulations through the entire oil supply chain that doubles the price of gas, and then level a windfall profits tax on oil companies while telling us it’s saving the planet.
$10/gallon gas, here we come!
There are some bright people out there, we just need to go to work.
Synthetic benzene, uses nanotechnology to convert sewage sludge into fuel through a modified fuel cell application.
All of American cars will run on crapwater, We can build massive hog farms to pump the wasted into fuel cell stations to power our cities, and bacon will be cheaper too.
1) They can demagogue the issue
2) In states where the gas tax is a percentage of the price, they get more revenue for their beloved government
3) It gives them an excuse to interfere in the economy, and intrude into peoples lives
Higher gas prices are the result of growth in the world economy - people in other countries are raising their standard of living. Of course, the progressives don't look at that as progress, they see it as the exhaustive depletion of resources at the hands of evil, greedy capitalists out to exploit anything they can. But only economic growth can raise the world up; the alternative (the progressive alternative) is to take from the haves, give it to the have nots, and spread it more evenly so that we are all miserable socialists, taxed until death, and dependent on them for everything. We must demand from our leaders the ability to use the natural resources at our disposal in order to insure that growth, and world prosperity can continue. The future may hold new sources of energy - but for now, it's oil and natural gas we have to depend on.
I swallowed some gasoline once when starting a siphon (from a 50 gal barrel to a marine pile driving crane).
Tasted bad and gave me gas (burps). Turns out it's hard to swallow at any price.
Is Inhofe the only one with any cents in DC?
We did it with the immigration bill, why not demand a sensible and effective energy bill?.........NOW
it is every democrats fault why we are paying so much for gas. they refuse to do domestic drilling to relief the pocket books of hard working taxpaying Americans.
i remember congress woman barbara boxer flying down to los angeles and then motoring out to santa barbara in an suv
to announce her candidacy for the u.s. senate,
and to say there would be no more off-shore oil drilling.
i dropped her a note telling her that she’d wasted a lot of oil coming down here to socal.
My “brilliant” Dem congressman Ron Kind has a solution: sue the oil companies. With tools like Kind we can be assured that finding real solutions will never happen.
Solution: Sell your oil stock and buy BICYCLE STOCK.
