Wonder if Blitzer took the train to ask about using less oil? No he rode in a big ol Limo.
Conservation is another dodge from the big question, how are we going to produce more? We can all drive lawnmowers to work and we still need to move cargo and heat homes. How are we going to get more if we can’t drill?
Pray for W and Our Troops
It has to do more with 30 years of incompetent Govt policy by the US Govt.
Supply and demand. The world demand for oil has gone up significantly, while the US is doing nothing to either increase it domestic supplies or control it appetite for oil.
Rather then scream the same stupid slogans about “Windfall Profit taxes” and “Investigating the Oil companies” we have been hearing since the 1970s, maybe we should try opening the vast oil production regions of the US we have put off limits and harnessing our own energy sources for a change?
In 1978 we heard all the same things we are hearing out of the Democrats now. “Windfall profit taxes, investigate the oil companies, conserve energy, increase the CAP standards” 30 years later the Democrats are saying the same things in 2008 they were saying in 1978.
The whole reason we created the Dept of Energy in 1978 was to purse these green dogmas. Well it 30 years and trillions of dollars in Govt spending later. Where are we from following the Democrat Party’s siren song on “an Environmentally Sound Energy Policy”?
The reason we are wholly dependent on the variances of the International Oil Market, instead of being one of the nations profiting by them, is because, for “environmental” reasons, we have spent the last 30 years as a matter of Govt policy, doing everything to restrict domestic energy production to in order to push silly “conservation” schemes To blame the speculators for speculating in an Oil market made so ultra profitable for them by stupid US Govt polices is to blame the cart for being pulled by the horse.
WE, the people of the USA via the agency of those idiots we elect and re-elect year after year after year, are to blame not speculators, not the market, not the Fed Reserve and dollar policy. US for not developing our own resources and instead allowing the usual suspects to sing the siren song that we could have all the “Eco green” Govt polices we felt like but would never have to pay any economic prices for those stupidities.

The commie dems use up more oil/energy bitching about the use of oil than those of us that need to use oil.
Hateful SOB’s.
