Gas why is it so expensive?

Probably Americans would like to make use of Middle East first and when everything exausts, they would like to use Alaska.

.Gas over here in Australia in some places is as high as $1.50 per litre. How much is it where you are from?

There are a few places off limit to drill due to endangered species. Even though I love my gas powered car, it is more important to save the animals because we are invading nad possible polluting their home. No one really knows 100% for sure how much oil is under the Preserve, it could be 100K barrels or just 2K. Drilling that one preserve wouldn't make major change in gas prices. What will help (just a smidge) is when they re-open the line that is currently being fixed. Ever wonder why not even 8 years ago we were paying .97/gallon and now we are up to $3 (or over)?

Hey can you believe that there are places up there where animals that don't belong to anybody just wonder around, like it's their home. Dang, this was gonna be good, and I just lost the whole rhythm. Anyway, I question how much oil we could really access from the Alaskan Wildlife Preserve. I don't think it would be enough to solve the problem that our dependence on oil has created. I'd rather spend money on research and development of an alternative source, independent of what the big corps would prefer.

There is not enough fuel to go around the whole planent. Many countries have a groing demand for the oil and yet we only started using oil in 1850 so therefore 150 years of oil will clreanyl rise the cost oif the substance for all countries that need it
