…(c.) less shore drilling, higher gas prices, and the biggest oil spill disaster in the history of the USA on Obama’s watch?
Maybe liberals should ride horses so we can reduce our oil consumption.
It bothers me that liberals could care less there is an oil spill in the Gulf when a liberal president is in charge. [...]
Some experts predict that at this rate gas is going to hit 7 dollars by the end of summer.
My question is why can’t people boycott gas by buying less gas so rather then buying say 10 gallons of gas a week. Can’t people such as yourself like cut it into half?

It takes a war for oil, sending our troops to die for oil, gas prices skyrocketing, proposing to drill and destroy Alaska (one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. who’s ecosystem is already suffering from warming due to using gas), global warming and middle eastern powers and terrorists having something we need from [...]

Most of current machine need petroleum for energy resource but the petroleum deposit currently becoming smaller from day to day. Many new alternative energy is prepared to replace it such as ethanol, hydrogen, etc. But to replace or modify current machines to fit with those new energy will cost much.

The price of oil being as volatile as it is, a green portfolio with nothing but alt-energy stocks would be volatile and risky. [...]
During the election, President-Elect Obama said he supported Oil/Gas exploration (including offshore drilling) under pressure from polling that showed 70% of Americans believed that oil/gas exploration was an important component in addressing our energy needs and foreign dependence on oil. Today he announced his intention to reverse the presidential order to permit such exploration [...]
