It is strange that Dems/Libs have a mantra, we can’t drill our way out of this. True! but where are the alternatives and we all have cars that run on gasoline. Most of us can’t go out and purchase a ,000 automobile. Meanwhile gas prices soar because we are dependent on foriegners.
Are mindless sheep who don’t know the facts?
Proponents for drilling make the argument that setting up offshore drilling will reduce America’s dependence on other countries for oil.
A few key facts:
1. Offshore drilling here in the United States will not bring us lower gas prices. Oil prices are determined by the global oil market
2. Increased [...]
It seems as i spoke at the Mayo Clinic the other day to many people in waiting rooms from Oklahoma, Texas, that they are very mad at our president, for not using all the Full Stored up oil from every state.
They are also very angry, that New Oil Drilling [...]
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.

The reason for shortages of natural resources and high gas prices and extreme overpopulation, why can’t people stop having more than one kid? It’s one thing t0o have two on occasion depending on the family, but you really need to defintiely stop after two, that is if you actually have as many as two.
The overpopulation [...]
Okay. Well, my mom had an idea about going to your capitals in your states and "drilling" them for more oil. The gas prices are INSANELY high! and if we wait much longer, they’ll go out of control! go to www.drillyourcapitol.blog spot.com to find out all about it. Leave comments.
I also had an idea that [...]
Barack Obama put forward a broad energy plan Monday designed to end U.S. reliance on imported oil within 10 years and shore up his standing amid a tightening White House race and high-anxiety over gas prices.
McCain again advocated more oil drilling off the U.S. coast. "Anybody who says that we can achieve energy independence [...]

TODAY GMC laid off 3,500 people from the plant due to slowing production of SUVs and trucks.
Milk is up to 4.00 dollars a gallon, and eggs 2 bucks a dozen, I talked with a Walmart executive [...]
It’s very likely just a coincidence, but I think it’s at least ironic that gas prices have never gone up as much as they have this year, not even close, and most of us americans are cashing those economic stimulus checks, and handing over the green to the Arabs.
No other commodity behaves price-wise like gas. [...]

Lundberg Survey Shows Gas Prices Surge to Record U.S. Average of .07 Per Gallon
I filled up my Sienna minivan this morning and it cost me over at .27 per gallon.
It is the MANY gas formulas mandated around the country that keep our gas prices so high. We HAVE to use ethynol here [...]
Why should we open up more public lands and allow Big Oil to drill in the US?
Consider:
- The 574 million acres of federal costal water that are off-limits are believed to hold almost 18 billion barrels of oil and 77 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, according to the Interior Department.
Sounds like a lot.
But consider [...]
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 [...]
how are gas stations allowed to keep charging alot if oil has dropped. Is there not a regulation to this?
If they lower the prices that will boost savings. I mean OPEC can not keep lowering there prices without ruining global economy. So now that there done raping us the gas stations are taking over. Whats [...]
we had the same crisis two decades ago when gas was around .00 /gallon. cars then ran 20 mpg and the government was looking for a solution. Once the gas prices started to ease up, the government forgot about this until today where gas is 3/gallon some places like cali is reaching 4 dollars. the [...]
it should be, drilling on our own soil would produce enough oil to lower gas prices and the mid-east terrorist nations could not help the Democrats hold us hostage and pay them ransom so they can train more terrorists to kill Americans?
I have to deal with the traffic and the increased ‘Seepage’ on my beaches. Oh, and I get nothing–> Just increased gas prices. Sign me up! Wake up people, you will not benefit one iota from Drilling More Oil off the coast of California.
Nothing, I repeat NOTHING will STOP THE PRICE OF [...]
High gas prices can be linked to job loss… and job loss to high gas prices.
When oil is in abundance, oil makes gas, and gas goes into our cars “so we can get to work” (Common sense)
Drilling American oil “creates jobs” and keeps the profits here at home in America, duh. Aren’t you glad that [...]
President George W. Bush urged Congress to overturn a 26-year ban on offshore oil drilling in the U.S. (West Florida – Gulf of Mexico) to petroleum exploration and explained that these moves would "take pressure off gas prices over time by expanding the amount of American-made oil and gasoline." John McCain made a similar appeal [...]
According to an Energy Information Administration (EIA) chart at: http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/steo/pub/gifs/Fig14.gif
US petroleum consumption has actually gone "DOWN" but I keep hearing the laws [theories] of "supply and demand" meaning if demand goes up the price goes up, yet the US demand has been going down since 2007 why isn’t the price down?
It’s still about a [...]
Its stupid drilling for oil in the U.S. and off shore
Its good that gas prices are high cause it forces people to conserve and use less and that decreases global warming.
I am against any new drilling and I will personally fight against it
Libs have been wanting to do this for years. Bush just gave out checks to everybody, he can’t even change from what Bush does. Sad.
Just as a side note. If they tax the oil companies to a toon of 1K a taxpayer, wouldn’t the prices just rise by the same [...]
Is the idea of drilling more oil in the US to affect US gas prices a falicy? If it all goes into the same global oil marketplace and sold to the highest bidder then we can’t possibly drill enough oil to affect that huge market.
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.

The alaska pipe line is supposed to bring crude into the USA. I’ve seen documentarys on TV, saying that they are shipping most of it to China. It’s all about the all mity dollar. Gas prices are the way that they are because we allow it. So what’s next? [...]
It was only a few years ago that people were ranting about going into Iraq and how it would lower gas prices, nope they sky rocketed. In the past few years all the major American oil companies stated RECORD PROFITS. Do people understand that the supply of oil has not gone down? The [...]
