So we are ALREADY drilling off these shores?
So there IS no oil off these shores?
So an increase in oil future supply will not affect the price of oil futures?
In WHAT way is this a hoax?
PS. Barry WANTS to keep gas expensive. his "solutions" are to "use less" through alternate transportation, hybrids, etc. Not to reduce the price PER gallon. Makes sense. If we get people to reduce the gas use, we are going to need to keep the price up there for the road taxes.
But reducing use is the hoax. If we don't use it to fuel our economy, will the reductions in use we make be great enough to sate the demand of the developing world?
In a word, no.
Whatever slack we create in global oil supply through our self-destruction will be taken up by the developing nations elsewhere, resulting in their being able to develop faster, but not much more cheaply (if at all).
However to Global Socialists (is there any other kind, really?) this would 'level the playing field' and remove some more of the disparity between the third world and ourselves.
The more I watch the apparent misfeasance, the seeming inability of the Republicans in Congress to sieze this issue and run the length of the political field with it, the more I am convinced they have sold out to the notion of a world government.
The information is out there. AGW has been refuted--heck, the planet isn't even warming. Energy self-sufficiency, inasmuch as we can achieve it, and border security are both essential to the strategic security of this Nation, and both are being ignored by and large as lynchpin campaign issues by the very people who should be promoting them.
Both of these issues are such no-brainers that this cannot be simple stupidity. There has to be more to it.
