$1.59, that's good, you must be in the South somewhere. We were at $1.59 a year ago or so.

Im not forming an opinion, just posting some info and thoughts. Keep in mind, we all use energy in one form or another these days, even the uninformed masses.

ALL- Here's a link from the DOE re: Short Term Energy Outlook - March 2003

The difference is the tax you pay. When the price goes up, the demand will drop or the supply will increase. When oil reaches $2 a barrel, we uncap the wells in the US and pump our own.

Oil is so valuable because it is so useful. Sensible policy is not possible by taking a poll.

The US should pass be building 3rd generation nuclear reactors and be done with it. But the luddittes and Lefties won't let us.

They want the little people (that's us) to not drive while they do as they please (someone has to be in charge).

Aside from the fact that there is as much energy as we are willing to go get, The Left has been wrong about EVERYTHING. Their track record speaks for itself.

Besides, if just the people in the US that say that it is important would take action (which they won't), the problem is gone.

I've lived in Louisiana for about 8 years and I'm just back from a visit to California. I've listened to others insult the South but I have to say, I would chose any place in the South over California without reservation (same goes for the North East). People in California can pretend they're special but I've seen it both ways and I'll take Dixie hands down.

Let them tax themselves into extinction to save the children. No Thanks.

Besides we got all the trees and clean air that you could every want (and lakes, and animals, and parking, and crime free neighborhoods, and woman that don't have a chip on their shoulders).
