Before even the liberals in Congress remember that we have our own oil? Apparently, $4.00 is not high enough. 5,6,7...?
Now, before you get your collective panties in a knot - I will concede that fossil fuels are not a permanent answer to our energy problems. Even with the Billions of barrels locked up in ANWR (even though the Alaskan people WANT us to drill), or the Billions of barrel in the Gulf of Mexico (That the Chinese are already drilling...like 60 miles from our shores), or the maybe Trillion barrels locked up in Oil Shale -- EVENTUALLY we will deplete those sources. Now, how long it will take - 100+ years - who knows. Point being - we can start getting to those resources NOW.
Even if we annouced we were going to open up ANWR or off-shore today - the price would come down tommorow. Just the emotional response would drive the price of oil down.
But - I guess the spineless DEMS (and RINOS) in Congress would rather keep gas prices as an issue - that they hope they can blame on Republicans that actually do something about it.
And we, the sheeple, will just sit on our asses and accept it. We are truly getting what we deserve. We want to bow to the alter of B-S global warming and trying to 'protect' the environment from technology (anyone ask the Caribou how the Alaska pipeline worked out for them --- should be easy - there are LOTS more of them than there were before the P/L opened) that we are willing to let China drill for oil 60 miles offshore while we sit around and whine about gas prices.....
Someone has tried to do something about it..
