Keep Gas Prices High

Me too!

I seriously think we could all be walking and they'd still be jetting around here, there and every where and not even all of it necessary or for U.S. interests..

And those that don't like it need to go lobby Washington for a change!

I believe his words were "Under my plan energy prices would necessarily skyrocket".

"This argument posed as a political tool, has no merit actually, since the entire nation remains voluntarily addicted to foreign oil!" No. There's not one thing voluntary about it. People needing gas for their cars and oil for their furnaces have to contend with higher prices because America's so-called enlightened big-oil-busting blowhards and enviro-friendly politicos and advocates all refuse to tap America's resources but instead prop up forein governments with our dollars. Honestly. Blame the average American? Wow.

Exactly. Where is it? It's in saving dolphins and pushing oil rigs out of sight until they disappear. It's in protecting grass and ground and deer habitats when it comes to oil and natural gas but then to hell with it all when it comes to wind farms. It's in solar panels and other initiatives that cost insane amounts of money. Apathetic nation? Try backward political philosophy that's basically extorting citizens while government sits on its hands and waits to strike down every single idea unless they think of it. And then once they do think of it, it's so horrible and inefficient that people will have to be forced to it instead of coming willingly. What is the educated view toward advanced energy policy? Go cold turkey until someone else creates efficient alternative means? B1tch and moan about every drilling rig and pipeline while waxing poetic about potential dangers and dreaming in color about every home fitted with a solar panel system and every car plugging into a magical socket that creates energy from fairy dust? What is the educated view? Don't use oil at all? After all, people only choose to drive their cars and heat their homes and run machinery and make clothing and all the million other things oil is needed for. It's just like people choose to eat food. They don't have to. That's not educated. Hell, they could drink protein shakes with supplement powders or even get their sustenance intravenously. What are "we" blaming on ourselves exactly? See, that changes a hell of a lot based on what you believe in. Greenies blame everyone but themselves. So is it their fault? If they marched by the millions, wtf would they be marching toward? They'd be begging government to do something. Government has. They have made America's natural resources null and void and made us dependent on foreign oil because our alternative methods are completely useless for the masses. So we need a revolution, right? Millions of people all out in the street, demanding... That we drill more and run natty gas pipelines? Of course not! It's a call for a cry for government to swoop in and give us better energy.

Where is the political will to change America's dependence on foreign oil? Where is the American public's outrage ... are million marching in the streets demanding an educated view toward advanced energy policies? I will blame an apathetic nation for relaxing while gas prices are low and then whinning about high gas prices when this kind of unrest developes in the Middle East! We place blame on everything except ourselves!!
