perhaps the folks that met in secret with cheney, people that cheney refuses to0 disclose.

I think that the arabs are out to get us.
Hey, they ARE!

I'm wondering if this whole friggin' war was supposed to be for oil (so say the dems)... why have we not tapped the wells yet? Why are gas prices so high?


Wait... I know. Perhaps we wanted to liberate a country from a lunatic dictator and at the same time ferret out any taliban.

Screw it. I still think we should tap those wells and use THEIR money to rebuild their stupid country. F**king rag-heads.

dare you go Mac, calm down you can go play now.

hey Mac don't get me wrong, Im with you 100%. Go get'em tiger...

MACS(SW)

yes to everything you said.

I think we should pump the oil and use it for ourselves. Any profit goes to the U.S. Treasury.

What is happening with respect to oil production in Iraq? Kind of a mystery don't you think?

we can make oil from coal in an extraction process whats leftover is called coke and is what steel mills burn. Just in western Pa there is enough available to supply our country with gas for the next 250 years. the production cost woul make the prices about 1.75 a gallon but the money stays IN THIS COUNTRY!!!! in the past this was cost prohibitive and envimetlist fight these things just for kicks. If we did this we solve the job situation, the deficit including the trade deficit, the fuel shortages we suffer every year, best of all the middle east will become impoverished witout are revenues. Instead of buying bombs they'll have to use their money for food probably from us. so tell your elected officials to get off their asses and let's get it movin !!!!!

Now that the Bush administration has eliminated funding for alternative fuel research, along with OPEC cutting production 4%,gas prices are going to soar. X

alternative fuel research?????
What a joke... That was a tax wasting program to find out if we could use cow crap as methane fuel
wood chips to make alcohol and turn water into steam to run our locomotives... Ooo wait been there done that
Have you hugged your hybred today?

Try getting the Dems to open up the oil field in Alaska and rid ourselves of dependence on arab oil

sorry for the double post... puter locked up... must be some liberal hackers trying to control my computer
yeahhhh thats it

What you & Jack said--many of the environmentalists are the true enemies of alternative fuel sources such as coal, Alaskan oil exploration, AND nuclear energy.

The Sierra Club just isn't what it used to be 20- 25 years ago.

EI

Good article on gasoline price history.

Basically, adjusted for inflation and considering the taxes that federal and state governments add to gasoline prices, the current US prices aren't bad. Check the prices in Europe if you really want to make yourself cringe.

If the mass transit system was as good in the US as it is in Europe,I woudn't own a car and then the oil co's could take a flying f_ _k. X

Ooooh. Gonna put myself in some hot water with my conservative bretheren... BUT... we figured out how to use hydrogen already and the byproduct it puts out is not carbon monoxide like gas... but pure, harmless water. We have heard nothing of it for some time. I wonder why?
