There is no shortage of oil that warrants the rise in the price of gas rising a gallon anywhere in the world.
The more accurate truth is the big oil companies of the United States are making record profits and holding the American people economic hostage until Congress relents and allows them to turn all [...]
when just 50 miles off the Florida coastline the Chinese government is drilling for oil under Cuban leases?
The China-Cuba connection also appeared in an editorial Monday in Investor’s Business Daily, which wrote that "the U.S. Congress has voted consistently to keep 85 percent of America’s offshore oil and gas off-limits, while China and Cuba drill [...]
When Bush lifted the Presidential ban on offshore drilling on July 14th, oil and gas prices immediately fell as a direct result.
Bush asked Congress to follow suit by lifting the Congressional ban on offshore drilling which would lower gas prices even more.
Is the Democrats dislike for Bush greater than their desire to service the need [...]
The constitution is just a piece of paper that gets changed or ignored when those in charge find it to be inconvenient to what they want at the time. It has happened since the constitution was first drafted. This just was proved again when congress signed over the right to declare war over to the [...]

While the same Congress prevents access to 10.4 Billion Barrels of oil in a 3.13 sq. mile patch of ANWR??? I think I should be able to sue CONGRESS for high gas and oil prices. What a bunch of hypocrites!!!
Domestic oil production has declined, to 1.9 billion in 2007 from 3.1 billion barrels in [...]

WASHINGTON (June 18) — With gasoline topping a gallon, President Bush urged Congress on Wednesday to lift its long-standing ban on offshore oil and gas drilling, saying the United States needs to increase its energy production. Democrats quickly rejected the idea.
"There is no excuse for delay," the president said [...]
I’m just wondering.
Say I think it’s going to be a cold winter and also that whoever is elected President next year and whoever controls Congress will be vehemently opposed to nuclear power. As a result I think natural gas prices will double, thus daily rates for drilling equipment will double.
It [...]
Only serious answers.
Aren’t gas prices controlled, primarily, by future’s projections and gas speculation? And wouldn’t our oil refineries be subject to damage from natural disasters like hurricanes (which are currently driving up prices?) Therefore, every hurricane season we would see even more drastic spikes in price and dips in production?
Why has [...]
hypothesis — Congress caused the energy crisis [oil price crisis] by denying Americans the right to produce significant added volumes of energy here at home while encouraging the economy to continue growing and thus using ever more energy.
Since the reaction to this artificial crisis has been the recent gasoline and then the government’s edict [...]
Do you know the history of oil exploration on the east coast?
http://www.gomr.mms.gov/homepg/offshore/atlocs/atlocs.html
Actually, it looks like 51 exploratory wells were drilled in the 70s and 80s five found natural gas and/or condensate. (What the heck is condensate). Anyway they were abandon as not commercially viable?
Do you know where the lowest projected reserves in the country are?
Could [...]
…So in 1973, we said we should get off dependency to foreign oil and drill in our own land. We said we needed more technology like battery cars, hydrogen and ethenol, nuclear, wind, solar, yet today we are still facing the same old problem with the same old solutions. Eventually, back in 1973, we [...]
WASHINGTON – House Republicans on Thursday scuttled a bill that Democrats hoped would help lower gasoline prices by forcing the Energy Department to release 70 million barrels of oil — about a three-day supply — from the national stockpile.

They keep claiming that drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf will bring immediate relief–but as the [...]
Pelosi asks president to quit stock piling oil & gas. This is totally stupid it will mean nothing at all. The congress needs to address imediate drilling off shore and in ANWAR this needs to be sent directly to the refineries that are now in operation and take the place of foreign oil then consider [...]
Forget the tree huggers for one minute and think about what is more important at this time. Saving a tree or only paying 3.50 for a gallon of gas. you be the judge. I call for a protest in DC against congress for not being there for the American people when we need them the [...]
The price of gas is rising everyday and the DEM led Congress has just voted "No" to the US drilling for oil to lower gas prices. What are these morons thinking? Perhaps it is time we threw the DEMS overboard and elected new people.
It is apparent that they want low supply. At the same time, the goons blame Oil companies and speculators when the LIBS are the problem!
When do presidents drill for oil? LOL!!
Who protests and obstructs oil drilling? DEMOCRATS
Democrats, protesting drilling for 20 years, and pointing fingers!
Bush has tried to open up [...]
Do we even know how much oil is out there and how much of an effect it will have on the lowering of the prices of gas?
Do we know how long it will take just to get ready and set up for oil drilling and how long it will take for Congress to pass a [...]
I stumbled on these two links yesterday while I was browsing Yahoo answers.
Please read at least the second one, its kind of a summary of the first, these explian the true reason oil and natural gas prices are so high. The first link was put out by the US Senate but ignored, by congress and [...]

President Bush plans to make a renewed push Wednesday to get Congress to end a long-standing ban on offshore oil and gas drilling and says Congress shouldn’t waste any more time! McCain made lifting the federal ban on offshore oil and gas development a key part of his energy plan.
So do you think our Democratic [...]
we keep hearing people complain about the price of gas and diesel and the fact that prices will only keep climbing. yet, these very same people are not demanding congress get off its brains and open up the entire country to more drilling for oil and natural gas. yes, id like to see development of [...]

Oh and p.s……Its the oil companies spending the money for exploration,not the govt(but they [...]
