I know we need to invest in alternate energy that is both affordable and clean. However, our budgets are finite and limited. I’m afraid many Americans will face finincial ruin, as it is also affecting food prices as well.
If we move to ethanol then the price of corn is going to go through the roof. Doesn’t Obama care about food prices? Why not let the market decide which energy is best. Right now the market is moving towards Natural Gas. Why don’t the Demonrats mind their own business?
Its pollution free compared to gasoline. [...]
To make matters worse, he has also shutdown Off Shore Alaska Drilling. Also, Food Prices are rising, since it takes 40 percent of America’s corn production to produce a measly 8 % of our energy needs with the amount of Ethanol that is produced. We had better hurry up and Vote Obama Out, [...]
These retarded city government people know nothing. If gas prices goes to a gallon..diesel goes to ..just think how much it will cost farmers to fun there diesel tractors to grow food for the world. There [...]
Natural Gas is plentyfull and its power technology is not new. In Europe, where gasoline is always expensive, all auto manufacturers, including Ford and Opel(GM) have been manufacturing almost all of their trucks and SUVs with dual tanks for ever. One for Gasoline and one for GPL ( Liquid propane like for your grill) You [...]
Once again gas goes up and the government just sits around. How about all of that oil in Irag? Why don’t we control that and lower the price to help pay for rebuilding Iraq? Why not step up drilling offshore and on our continent? How about lowering the gas tax? (sorry [...]
NO.Commodity Futures Modernization Act
http://www.texasobserver.org/article.php?aid=2767
In December 2000, when U.S. Senate rushed to pass the government reauthorization bill, the Senate tacked on a complex, 262-page amendment at the urging of Texas Sen. Phil Gramm.
Gramm promised that the amendment — also known as the Commodity Futures Modernization Act — along with other landmark legislation he had authored, would [...]
What are your thoughts?
PETA seeks justice to those who have abandoned livestock because of rising food prices.
Al Gore and Environmental Special Interest Groups fight for higher production of Ethanol. Critics theorized, and now have been proven correct, that this would cause shortages in consumer-agriculture products and raise prices substantially.

I admit I have not read article yet, mainly because I hate news dealing with unnecessary death of animals. But unless these horses are sick or a danger to human beings, why destroy them???
If OIL has indeed reached its peak, and even if there’s still [...]
Is it because of his race (shame on you if it is)
his middle name (that is just stupid if it is)
Because media has suggested he is a secret Muslim (that is just plain awful, suggesting that an entire religious faith is made up of no one but terrorists)
Because he is a liberal (we have had [...]
He want’s to end the war in Iraq and negotiate with Iran. Will this be helpful in reducing the cost of oil?
Despite all the recent talk of soaring prices at the pump, political and economic pundits rarely mention the impact of war and political instability in the Middle East on the skyrocketing price of [...]
they say they will CUT production to bring up the price. Should we be surprised? Shouldn’t they be under federal regulation the way the natural gas and electric companies have to get their increased rates from the Public Utiilities Commission? Before they destroy this country with their greed? Already they have destroyed the auto industry…caused [...]
In contrast to the eminent mortgage crisis that our country is facing; the price of oil has risen from /barrel to nearly 0/barrel. The price of fuel affects a broader population than the bad loans and/or bad debt that media and government are focused on. It doesn’t help to be given only half [...]
President Bush said during an interview that the reason food prices are sky-rocketing is due to the fact that a barrell of oil is 6. How do food prices appertain to oil prices and why does the economy revolve around oil?
