Re: Do you think this will lower the price of gas?
Yeah...we'll pump domestic oil, but us business savvy Americans will sell it on the open market to the highest bidder instead of keeping for ourselves...

Re: Do you think this will lower the price of gas?
Yep, and if we got serious about domestic drilling, doing so would piss-off the Arabs and we can't have that! There's a very good reason why our president eagerly holds hands with the Saudi oil sheiks when he goes over for a visit. They have the cheapest available oil and we need it BAD. Domestic drilling will happen only when OPEC oil hits $200--no, $300 a barrell AT LEAST. Wonder why oil has been dropping in price? Maybe because the Saudis saw Americans conserving/using less gas and screaming for domestic drilling. The OPEC boys got together (yes, they collude in secret) to stop all this talk about conservation and alternative sources of oil. Price creeps down and crisis (for Saudis and OPEC) subsides. Whew, Allah be praised!
Okay, okay, I'll stop now!

Don't blame this President. The Sudi deal was cut 50 years ago not to peek over the fence at each other. I think Roosevelt started it.

[/ QUOTE ] Congress is preventing any serious domestic exploration which could lead to increased availability of oil. They claim it will take ten years to get it out so it's not a solution. Guess what? If we had started ten years ago we would have a very different situation today. And don't get me started on ANWR. The environmental activists have effectively brainwashed Congress (and most of the media) on this one...

Re: Do you think this will lower the price of gas?

Congress & Senate passed a law we can't drill for oil anymore. That's SCREWING us.  [/ QUOTE ] In 1990, an executive order was signed by the president that banned offshore drilling. The president is not part of the legislative branch, is he? Drilling is not the solution. Long-term energy policy is; drilling is mutually exclusive. To panic in lean times and make demands that won't pay off for a few years is not the way we need to behave as a country. The world is much more competitive than it was before, so what can we do for ourselves to come out ahead instead of using short-sighted solutions? Certainly your view is not unique in Internet-land, but just because many people are saying the same thing doesn't mean it's what should be.
