		<description>The FACT of the matter is that oil will not last forever and will run out. Yet you don&#039;t provide any answers here at all to this problem.

What do you suggest?</description>

		<description>the true reason for rising gas prices and the resulting inflation is capitalism. the capitalist will try through speculation to profit from the most essntial of human needs when all else fails. such as energy, food, and property this can be easily illustrated by the present sub prime crises where desperate instituitions aided by their lackeys in government gave high interest loans to poor people who  could not pay them back. why should a person have to put themeselve in hock for a basic need? why cant you people understand that capitalism is chaotic system\`at is prone to high inflation, economic  insecurity lation, military conflict  BECAUSE =
e struggle to control energy resouces. this system should be replaced world wide by a democratic system that distributes rescources fairly and i dont mean the old starlinist system of state capitalism that existed in a few contries. that still had banks and rationed by the use of mon  `The can be no democracy under capitalaisim democracy is also about democracy of resouces not just being ablt o vote for whatever cola brand differnt names but same product</description>

		<description>Call me a loon if you like, but I see this a bit differently.

What the Arabs failed to accomplish with a suicide squad on 9-11, they are now doing with OPEC.  This is just another facet of jihad.  They&#039;ve finally figured out they can&#039;t kill us with bombs and bullets, so now they are going to try to wreck our culture and civilization by economic starvation.  I believe it&#039;s all a part of their means to an end.

Folks should remember that it only costs the Saudi $2.00 to produce a bbl of oil, which by the way, was found and developed by the American oil companies.  (No one actually believes an Arab has the mental and technical capacity to find, drill, develop, and build all that infrastructure, do you?)  

We are at war, folks, and the enemy is winning this one.  Better dig in and face the future with a bit of backbone, we&#039;re gonna need it.</description>

		<description>The U.S. survived the onslaught of the Reds, but the Greens will surely complete what their ideological predesessors began. You see, the Greens use of energy is &quot;good&quot; i.e., necessary, everyone elses is &quot;catastrophic&quot;. Also, Al Gore&#039;s feces doesn&#039;t stink, and Obama is a divine being so he doesn&#039;t even produce feces. Get it now? Like Orwell said: &quot; All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. &quot;</description>

		<description>Rising gas prices &quot;unfairly places a financial burden on the poorest working Americans&quot;

Nice summary of Socialism - EVERYTHING impacts the poor &quot;unfairly.&quot;</description>

		<description>Couldn&#039;t agree more Thomas &amp; tcarver.

In an election year the MSM always turn to the &quot;miserable economy&quot; if they&#039;re trying to get a Dem elected. Unfortunately, this time I think they may be right. The issue, however is not pointing at what I percieve as the true culprit, their &quot;green&quot; buddies.

I would argue that the world economy runs on oil today. The movement of goods and services depend on this &quot;puss&quot;, like it or not. High oil prices effect everything from farming to internet commerce to the handyman with a truck and ladder. High oil increases the cost of any business and equally affects every household. Do I fill up the car to get to work and buy higher priced food or buy the latest must have item. Simple.

Our tree hugging friends have prevented us from tapping a huge resource in our own country and also prevent us from refining it. I can guarantee their cool little foriegn 300 mile/gallon smart car didn&#039;t arrive in the country by sailboat. The blocking of drilling and refineries in this country has allowed foreign powers to dictate world oil prices and supply...FACT. Now until a viable alternate source is created we need oil at a stable price...FACT. If the economy stalls, their is less money to invest in alternate source research...like it or not FACT. Build all the windmills you want, but a windmill can&#039;t run an airplane, truck or cargo ship (things that move goods).

The blocking of refineries and drilling rely very heavily on the belief that we are still using 1970s technology which was less reliable and efficient. It will cause environmental chaos and disaster they chant. Bull#@*! It will actually increase revenues and allow for more research for alternatives and safety precautions. Here&#039;s a nasty little secret...the oil companies know that oil is a nonrenewable resource so they need to look to the future too. They need alternatives as well for when it runs out.

Once again the liberal chant &quot;Don&#039;t interupt my emotional argument with facts&quot;. They made this SH#! sandwhich and now we all have to take a bite. Thanks for that and pass the ketchup.</description>

		<description>The one good thing I can see coming out of this is the possibility of people tracing back to who it is that is keeping us from drilling for oil in our own country. This could be a bomb that will blow up in the faces of the democratic party.</description>

		<description>I personally think it&#039;s great that we&#039;re paying $4+ per gallon of gasoline. We reap what we sow, so to speak. This is what happens when people keep on voting in the status quo. And in the end, we only have ourselves to blame.

This is what happens when you mandate ridiculous formulations of gasoline for different areas of the country, and prevent the building of new refineries at the same time. This is what happens when you prevent drilling for oil in ANWR and Colorado and Montana.

Go ahead and hug those cute, cuddly polar bears that you think are like the ones in those stupid Coke commercials. I would personally love to see one of them eat such an idiot. Especially those morons who think that the US has such a &#039;poor&#039; track record on pollution - they either ignorantly or willingly disregard the really awful polluters of this age. You know, the USSR and Red China?</description>
