As FReeper SJB posted: High oil prices damage the US economy----which is designed to use massive amounts of cheap oil for transporting goods, etc. When the price of oil hikes, it fundamentally changes the dynamics of our economy......

The stunning reality is this: the US has vast reserves of energy ---- offshore oil, natural gas, coal. Oil companies have had tremendous success unlocking big quantities of natural gas from dense shale rock formations in North America. We're talking about TRILLIONS of barrels of oil equivalent in shale natural gas.

Something smells here----producing our own energy resources is being held back by "environment issues?"

We need to alert the PTB that we are onto the gross manipulation by those who want the US to sink trillions in the Mideast......including war profiteers getting rich beyond Croesus with our tax dollars------and by Mideast countries too stupid to govern themselves without US "foreign aid."

If I hear somebody say the Mideast is the cause of high oil prices---I swear I'll scream.

The cost of gas related to Libya is pure crapola. The US gets less than 5% of Libya's oil exports (equals less than 1% of US oil imports). Saudi Arabia's oil exports to the US are a minuscule 15% of total output. Which makes US involvement in Libya and the rest of the Mideast hellholes even more outrageous.

"America is dependent on foreign oil" is a knee-jerk reaction, a bunch of propaganda.......The Big Lie which forced America into invading three ME countries at a cost of trillions of US tax dollars.

The US gets THE BULK of its oil from nearby Canada----which now provides a large percentage of US needs.

Enviro issues are strictly agit-prop.

We get more than twice as much crude oil from OPEC as we do from Canada.
