I've been watching alot of C-span, The Government in action!!!!!

It has come to my attention that the Democrats don't want to do anything about our energy problem, when  they are in session and the Republicans ask what they are going to do about our problem, all the Democrats say is they have a plan, for the past two years the Democrats have had the control of congress and the house and for the past 2 years our gas prices have jumped 2 fold.

From what I understand the Republicans want to allow drilling in Alaska, Colorado, off shore drilling and something about slate rock drilling, It is not allowed because of the TREE HUGGERS.

Other Countries are off shore drilling about 45 miles off our coast in cubian waters, this is one of the places we are not allowed to drill, yet china is and if they slant drill they take our oil.

If we want prices to come under control we need to start drilling.

the plan is to wait for the election so a Democrat President is in office so They can take all the credit, what a way to treat the people that put them in office.

Very nice SuperBrowns. [applause coming from the room]

“From what I understand the Republicans want to allow drilling in Alaska, Colorado, off shore drilling and something about slate rock drilling, It is not allowed because of the TREE HUGGERS.”

The Liberal Left and Liberal Democrats have called for higher gas prices over the last eighteen years. Al Gore was one of the leading voices to RAISE gas prices to reduce driving and CHANGE how American’s lived. The Liberal Left (AKA – Environmental extreemists) want high gas prices because it fits their agenda. So, don’t think that the Liberal Democrats in office will do anything to reduce the price of oil. They want it high to save the planet.

“Other Countries are off shore drilling about 45 miles off our coast in cubian waters, this is one of the places we are not allowed to drill, yet china is and if they slant drill they take our oil.”

Giving us an example of how Liberalism stunts freedoms. How about that for some CHANGE?

“If we want prices to come under control we need to start drilling.”

Also build more refineries.

“the plan is to wait for the election so a Democrat President is in office so They can take all the credit, what a way to treat the people that put them in office.”

Then don’t vote them BACK into office.

Superbrowns;
You are kidding, right? look what the Democrats have given us after their elections two years ago! Four dollar going on ten dollar gas, mortgage melt downs, tax payers to bail out STUPID People, (Look who has jumped on this, Congress people, Ed McMahon, bankers, investors) all want us to pay their bills. We have an idiot (AL GORE) claiming Global Warming. Wouldn't you call him a hypocrite, or do you also own many HUGE homes that consume nearly as much fuel as some small towns? Feel good about where we are headed, we are all in this sinking ship, Captained by the Democrats, they have the Power. Remember, VOTE DEMOCRAT and Kiss you're_ ass good by!

good post superduper!

i just read this morning the democrats are at it again..........tax the crap out of Big Oil.......like that's going to change anything!

and if they succeed (VERY unlikely) where is all this new tax revenue going to go? it certainly will NOT reduce the price of the oil.....nor will it reduce the price of a gallon of gas. it will go sky high & then Big Oil will be leaving for cheaper pastures.

and remember, there is the potential for billions & billions of tax revenue & people like you and i will NEVER benefit from it.

Much of the higher oil prices are due to supply and demand.

Liberals have been warning about Peak Oil since the 1970s, when the Demand begins to exceed the demand.

The answer to Peak Oil and higher fuel costs is to change the way we live to a more sustainable energy future. Solar, Wind, and other alternative clean energy sources will need to be developed by a leader who understands the problem AND the solution.

Barack Obama has indicated that he will so just that, fund Solar and Wind energy, as well as work with car makers to create hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles- such as Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicles, Electric Cars, and Gas Electric hybrids.

Beyond that we need to have a greater involvement in urban planning by the federal government to move residential areas closer to work areas to reduce the need and consumption of fuel- another way to reduce the use is by increasing the funding, reliability and acceptance of mass transportation such as the Maglev Train and other High Speed Bullet trains that have seen considerable success in Japan, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom that has helped people get around without wasting gasoline.

If anyone is interested, I did a blog on Maglev trains in the Traffic section of the blogs.

The reason why we shouldn't be drilling in protected environments, is to preserve the natural habitats of animal and plant species that are crucial to the ecosystem, which does affect people's lives.

Imagine living in a world without seals, dolphins, manatees, polar bears, or penguins! We need to preserve nature, to the best of our abilities for the next generation of people to enjoy the beauty of nature.

Also, most experts agree that ANWAR drilling will only decrease prices by about 1-2 cents in about 20 years, and by that time gas will be so high that if we haven't found a substitute or serious long term solution, we won't be needing to drill for oil, but plan for Armageddon.

We need a Sustainable and Long Term solution to BOTH Global Warming AND Peak Oil, and that means getting away from oil and gasoline because they contribute to greenhouse gases and because they aren't forward looking, but part of the past.

Time for the future! Not the past!

Time for Change! YES WE CAN!

As a nature lover and yes, superbrowns, a tree hugger, the loss of our wild and natural areas in this country would not be worth the drop of 1-2 cents a gallon of gas.There is a whole "cycle of life" that goes along with our natural areas in this country. A cycle of life that has a domino effect. If one thing disappears, the dominoes start to fall. The trees disappear, then the birds disappear. Birds eat millions of insects, a needed benefit. Trees disappear and erosion begins. erosion that sends silt and dirt into the streams and rivers. The silt and dirt that now kills the fish that other animals eat and that WE eat. These are just a few examples.
So, we must be very careful, as stewards of our beautiful wild areas, of what we do. The impact could be mind-boggling. Just my opinion and proud to be a tree-hugger. It's the Girl Scout in me....

As if caring about Clean Air and Water is somehow strange and unusual!

What? Wanting to Breath Clean Air and Drink Clean Water makes you a Tree-Hugger?

Is wanting to have a decent environment for future generations somehow a bad thing to conservatives?

Do you realize that we are connected by the food chain to animals in the wilderness like Girlscout describes? We don't live in a void, our actions concerning the environment can harm US! People are harmed when the environment is harmed!

Maybe that you folks don't like to eat, pay you're own bills, go on vacations, have kids attend school, heat you're water, and house. You see, these are almost an essential to life for humans. How many of you have gone a week or two with no shower, little drinking water, and at night, no heat? Not a lot of fun. If the wind blew constantly and you were not like old Teddy Kennedy, "Not in my back yard" you don't. it might help, about like _issing in the ocean! Solar energy is great, if the sun shines twenty four -seven and you could Afford the Batteries, which only last a short time. All of this sounds great. You all forget, it is not just us on here, we alone number around three hundred million. I guess the Liberals and Demorats don't want us around. Every time you mention drilling, mining coal, nuclear energy, they say, _ell no. That will destroy the earth. What good is a Clean, safe environment without us?

You are predicting a "doomsday" paranoia that I don't believe will happen. Solar energy for example, can be stored for days when there is no sun. Windmills would provide much needed energy with little or no cost to our environment. This energy also can be stored - it does not have to have wind blowing constantly. Does'nt it make sense to explore energy alternatives that are less harmful to the environment before we charge ahead and screw up the environment for future generations? I believe it does. Like I said - it's all a domino effect - we never know what harming one thing will do to another link in the chain of life.

Gorbash – “Imagine living in a world without seals, dolphins, manatees, polar bears, or penguins! We need to preserve nature, to the best of our abilities for the next generation of people to enjoy the beauty of nature.”

Right. I was just saying to my wife this weekend as I was feeding the polar bears and penguins in our yard, “Honey, I can’t imagine a world with out these guys, or the seals…”

Gorbash – “Also, most experts agree that ANWAR drilling will only decrease prices by about 1-2 cents in about 20 years,”

Liberal “experts” maybe. Chuck Schumer is a Senator who claims to be an expert on the topic. Schumer repeated the same words almost verbatim when grilling oil company executives during yesterday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearings.

But later that month (May) he said : "If Saudi Arabia were to increase its production by 1 million barrels per day that translates to a reduction of 20 percent to 25 percent in the world price of crude oil, and crude oil prices could fall by more than $25 dollar per barrel from its current level of $126 per barrel. In turn, that would lower the price of gasoline between 13 percent and 17 percent, or by more than 62 cents off the expected summer regular-grade price -- offering much needed relief to struggling families."

Schumer is a deceptive, and purchased Senator who cares more about the income he gets from Liberal environmentalists than he cares about his constituents and the pain they feel at the pump. At a press conference he says a million barrels from ANWR would only reduce the price of gasoline by one penny. It's

Gorbach – “Liberals have been warning about Peak Oil since the 1970s, when the Demand begins to exceed the demand.”

Can you explain this? Demand exceed demand? Are you the poster writer for Conservative protesters?

If you meant that Demand begins to exceed supply, you must recognize that the oil supply is artificially limited.

Liberal environmentalists have outlawed American’s from getting to their oil supply and refining it. That is wrong! American’s need to break the bondage of Liberal environmental policies, and get access to their own oil.

hey girlyscout tree hugger LOL hybrid is right on target about the increase in production.

it is ironic, those crazy left loons claim that if WE increase production it will only help by 1 or 2 cents per gallon but if the ARABS increase production, it will reduce costs by 25%.

now, you know i'm a numbers kinda gal here girly...........25% of $4.00 is.............$1.00...........not 1 cent.

yes, i agree about attempting to preserve as much wildlife as possible while exploring & drilling for oil on our own soil. but we still must be drilling for oil.

currently the ARABS (for wont of a better general word) have us ALL by the "short ones". Every country except for them are struggling with this........some worse than us, some not as bad.

girlscout;
You are soooo lucky to have soooo much money as to have the time and luxury to wait till we have tried these alternative measures! How many Windmills will we, as a Nation need? We build and build windmills till they block each other and there is no more wind. If we have to pay to convert to Solar, we may as well buy Gas at twenty dollars a gallon. None of this can happen over night. What are we doing in the Present Tense. Most of us cannot afford four dollar gas. Did you catch the news thing on Corn for fuel today. Just like I told them, it takes more energy to produce Ethanol than you get out of it. I think you agree with the Liberals and Dems. Let China drill off of our Shores, Oil is in deposits like Lakes and Ponds. The other Nations drilling off of our Coastlines are sucking out OUR oil!! Those polar bears and Moose and Seals don't use OIL, so, let's be Environmentally friendly and go DRILL before dooms day, which IS right around the CORNER.

Your opinion. I do not believe that "doomsday" is right around the corner.
No, we cannot solve these problems over night. It takes time to explore and develop alternative energy, but we MUST do it, as oil is a finite commodity and will not last forever. And last time I checked, we ARE drilling offshore and have many oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.

OK first I must defend my friend girlscout, She is the kindest liberal on here, and she also works hard for her money, she doesn't cause conflict, she tries to find common ground.
Girlscout, you are not the type of treehugger I am refering to, it's the ones that go over board and would rather see a human suffer and could care less about a child then an animal.
I also am a nature lover and I also like seeing animals in the wild, but there has to be some common ground, you just can't stop drilling for oil and make prices go up 10 fold and force all of us to change, no one I know could afford this.
The hybrids they have out now don't get the gas milage they say let alone the price they want for them, and the Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicles are still under development and might be ready in about 10 to 20 years and then you have to think about fuel stations for them.
Now about mass transit and high speed trains, these would be great but if the democrats had this in mind then why in the heck are they sitting on it, why not give some company a contract to start construction on it.
Gorebash, I'm not knocking what you put out there, because it's the right road to travel, we must find other fuel alternatives or this country is going to sink fast, but we must also use what we have so everyone can afford the change.

Now for a real question, If a barrel of oil went up 12 dollars Friday then why is a gallion of gas going down, I went to work today and gas was 3.98 and when I left work it was 3.89 WHY???? some stations were 3.87 and some were 3.92

I heard a bill failed in congress to tax the oil company, all this would do is raise the gas prices again. and what would they do with the taxes anyway, general fund, line pockets.

Just to set the record straight, drilling for oil by destroying natural habitats is wrong.

So, you are WILLING to continue to pay higher & higher prices for fuel?

Don't you think that exploring & drilling for oil in this country CAN be done without completely destroying everything? There can't be any compromise at all on this?

ie: there is 10,000 acres of "natural habitat" that has oil under it. we can't compromise to drilling on 5,000 acres & leave the other 5,000 acres as is? what's wrong with that?

Compromise? Let's say you have a 2000 ft^2 house. Ohio Edison decides that we can lower energy costs by cutting houses in half. Would YOU be willing to give up half of YOUR "habitat" to lower energy costs? Now how do you think the wildlife feels?
