Gas Prices

"experts once thought $3-a-gallon gasoline would lead to a drop in consumption. The latest forecast from the International Energy Agency calls for global oil demand of 87.2 million barrels a day this year. That would be an increase in consumption of 1.3 million barrels a day from 2007 -- despite a U.S. economic slowdown and soaring oil prices."

Supply is down and Demand is increasing!

Time to conserve a little, time for Americans to use less! Time for the free market to provide us with other options. Ones that do not hurt the economy like Ethanol does.

I say battery powered cars are the answer, it has been proven that they work back when California was pushing for them. If you have never seen the Movie "Who killed the Electric Car" I recommend watching it.

Ps. You Bush haters will really love it.

Fight Back Against Big Oil
By Bill O'Reilly for BillOReilly.com
Thursday, April 24, 2008

So now we have the presidential candidates running around telling voters that they will help solve high gas prices. Well, if you believe that, you'll believe that Hugo Chavez drives a Yugo. It's just bull.

Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are calling for "investigations" into "price gouging" by American oil companies. Good. There's plenty of price manipulation going on and, under Presidents Bush and Clinton, little federal oversight. If a big oil company wants to tighten supply, for example, it's a snap. Just slow down the refinery process by ordering some extra "maintenance" or something.

But who is going to investigate Senators Obama and Clinton over their opposition to oil drilling? The Democratic Party has consistently opposed new drilling, and nuclear energy as well. Even the dedicated liberal governments in France and Sweden bought into nuclear. But not the American left, no way.

On the Republican side, President Bush has done absolutely nothing about rising gas prices, which is part of the reason is approval rating is approaching 20%. He blames the Democrats. Fine. But the President should be telling all Americans to cut back their gas consumption by 15%. He should be urging us to use less gas. That would at least cut into big oil's record profit margins.

Senator John McCain proposes a gas tax "holiday" this summer. True, that would save the folks a few bucks, but it would also add to the massive spending deficit. The government better start balancing the budget soon before Häagen-Dazs becomes more valuable than the U.S. currency.

The sad truth is that both political parties have sold out the folks. For decades, economists knew China and India were industrializing and those countries would demand much greater amounts of oil. Everybody knew that OPEC could slow down production and gouge the world if it could and, of course, now it can.

But if Americans would get angry and begin punishing the oil bandits, then prices would drop. However, we are often a selfish people. We want those gas-guzzling Hummers and SUVs, and we're paying a big price for that above and beyond the sticker.

If I were president, I'd be on every program leading the charge to buy less gas, urging folks to conserve energy in creative ways. I'd create peer pressure against the guzzle crowd. I'd name the names of greedy oil company CEOs who are making tens of millions of dollars while working folks suffer.

We need leadership on this energy business, or it is going to cripple our economy. Our energy incompetence has already empowered our enemies.

So let's get angry out there. We the people can do this. Big oil is not looking out for us. Let's stop rewarding it.

OReilly did not get the point the other day when his guest told him there was not much the Government could do. That oil is traded on free market and controlled by it and speculators.

What do you think anyone can do about the demand for oil going up? Dem's will not let us drill anywhere, build refineries anywhere. Demand is increasing by the day and supply is getting lower.

You are so smart tell us what would you do if you were President to say lower gas prices in the next 6 months? If you criticize you must have an answer? Please share it with us, or can you only type thoughts that involve the world Bush and Neocons in it. Share your intelligence with us or quit the whining!

Here is your stage, OT you have 6 months, give us some cheap gasoline???????
