The Chinese drill for oil just 47 miles from our borders, ANWAR has been refused, and I believe the Democratic Senate and congress will block the new find in the Northwestern part of the States.
Are Democrats for the "common man" or is that just a story?
Higher gas and oil prices really are [...]
"We can help alleviate shortages by drilling for oil and gas in our own country, something I’ve been advocating ever since I’ve been the president. I’ve been reminding our people that we can do so in environmentally friendly ways," he said. "And yet the Congress, the Democratically controlled Congress now has refused to budge. It [...]

Oil drilling is the commercial activity of drilling for, and exploiting subterranean petroleum or hydrocarbon resources. For decades there has been a federal moratorium on new offshore oil drilling for much of the continental United States. In September 2008, under pressure by high oil prices and the status of drilling as a Presidential campaign issue, [...]
Obama said yesterday that he would increase prices on oil, natural gas, and coal. Economists say that is the ‘Trifecta of disaster’- the ‘Perfect Storm’ if you will. It will inflte the price of everything that is transported (which means EVERYTHING). You have already seen the effect from that at the grocery store. That policy [...]
This week, the U.S. senate drilled C.E.O.s of oil companies about gas prices and the C.E.O. explained to the senators that gas prices were so high because congress has tied the hands of the oil companies by not letting them drill for oil in U.S. waters. I think congress is playing politics with the economy [...]
The House approved a bill Friday to boost safety standards for offshore drilling, remove a federal cap on economic liability for oil spills and impose new fees on oil and gas production.
Republicans and some-oil state Democrats opposed the measure, calling it a federal power grab that would raise energy prices and kill thousands of American [...]
Think about it. George W. Bush owns stock in oil. He refuses to stop stockpiling oil and has spent the day pushing Congress to allow the construction of new oil refineries and to allow more drilling in the United States, both of which would exponentially increase the profits of the American oil companies [...]
heres an article, I think we should do everything now!!! Drill, for natural gas, oil, invest in wind power, solar, everything. Do you agree? Reps. predict we will be having energy wars in the not so distant future. I don’t think this is a party problem, it’s everyones.

Do oil companies actually regulate barrel price or do they just produce the oil into usable forms. The oil production may not be the reason for high price. Blame should be placed correctly. If it is due to high price importation, it will still take time to pump out more crude within [...]
The democrats and our hero Obama has said high gas prices are good?$&^&$$^&$! and he would have preferred a gradual rise in price.
The democrats refuse to drill for new oil and gas.
The congress has done nothing to address the issue and its affect on the middle class.
Its obviously being done on purpose and WE [...]
So I’ve been hearing that Democrats in Congress keep repeating the same phrase when President Bush calls for the lifting of offshore oil drilling bans: 68 Million Acres currently available for exploration.
But I cannot seem to find any information about how much oil and natural gas is under those lands. Much research has shown that [...]
Would you support this if it brought gas prices down ? I say open up all of the United States. Please call your Senators and Representatives in congress.
Queen of wands, I live in coastal Louisiana.
Fed up veteran the refineries are wide open, I work for big oil
High definition hind sight Its right off the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
