Want Lower Gas Prices?

So simple a caveman could do it. I do not know about you but I am tired of hearing that it would take 10 years to get that oil on the market. It will always take ten year, so every year we do not use are own oil is a year later. Let us remember in 94 Clinton vetoed drilling in ANWER because it would have taken 10 years. My math say that would have been 2004.

I think the fastest way to lower prices would be to stop filling the strategic oil reserve. I'm not sure why Bush hasn't done that yet but I that would be the fastest way to help us out. I'm somewhat in the middle on drilling in Alaska as I really don't know much about that but I have heard credible experts say its going to be 10 years before we would see any of that oil. I don't know much about our domestic oil but are we not allowed to drill for oil inside the States? I'd assume we are already drilling our own oil in Texas and that region.

Yep.. seems simple doesn't it.. And would be so much better for us to drill, what with all our requirements and laws.. whereas some others don't have as stringent of guidelines.. I've heard a rumor that Cuba offered us the rights to drilling in between Florida and Cuba.. but oh no.. that's frowned upon, so now maybe someone with third world drilling capabilities will do the drilling instead! so how is that to help the environment?

It really is that simple. Those on the Left, though, are controlled by extremists in the environmental movement, i.e. Sierra Club, PETA, etc. They get so much support and money from them, they don't care how much the rest of the world struggles with rising food and energy prices.

Regardless of what they say, big oil companies do not want to drill and pump domestic oil! The foreign oil they are importing allows so many more ways they can be creative in their price gouging! If we Americans do not cause them some pain in their pocketbooks, we will see 6,7 maybe even 8 dollars a gallon! The only way to get to them is in consumption. If we don't consume it and their storage facilities get full with nowhere to put new fuel the prices will have to fall. The only way we can do this is with a concerted effort to not use gasoline! We can do this by 1)using public transit instead of driving to work, 2)carpool with 2 or more co-workers to save the gas the 2-4 other people would be using, 3)don't take that long family vacation this year, go somewhere local-camping at the lake etc. 4) and this one is probably the hardest--drive your vehicle ONLY when it is absolutely necessary! I live less than a 5 minute walk from my local small grocery mart and yet it is so easy to jump in the truck and speed up there and bring home a carton of milk or eggs or a can of green beans--you get the picture! Why not walk, it's healthier and that is just that much more gas you save. There are many many ways to do this but we won't see any relief at the pumps until the gas companies see a substancial decrease of consumption.
