Can we all just forget about drilling for oil and inflate our tires instead?

Barrack Obama's energy plan.Can we all just forget about drilling for oil and inflate our tires instead?
HA HA HA


That's laughable...Can we all just forget about drilling for oil and inflate our tires instead?
We have to face the fact that oil will never be cheap again. Demand is too great. As for drilling offshore in the US, oil companies will own the rights to that oil. It may produce more oil for consumption, but it will take years to build the oilrigs and tow them to the sites to begin drilling. But the bottom line is that OIL COMPANIES are not going to sell the oil drilled off our coasts cheaper to Americans. The Saudi's lease several oilrigs in the Gulf of Mexico but oil is still going up.





The price has gone down over the past week or so, but there were several factors that caused that. Al Gore urged the US to convert all electrical energy to ';green'; energy and T. Boone Pickens, an oil man, agreed with him (and said that American's are fuding both sides of the Iraq War by continuing to buy oil from the Middle East). T. Boone Pickens announced his plan for developing wind energy. The state of Texas approved a massive wind energy project. And Congress began investigating oil speculators. These things helped, but we have to get it thru our heads that gas will never be cheap again. We need to find alternatives. NOW.
What is really scary is he was serious. It is okay for Cuba and China to drill off our coasts but Obama will not allow America to do the same, then he comes up with this silly crap. If somehow he gets elected we are seriously screwed.





By the way the prices on oil would come down much sooner than it would take to get it out of the ground, if speculators know more oil is coming markets will drop. It does not matter where the oil is sold, it is a world market, put more oil on a world market and prices are affected everywhere. Obama is an idiot.
I love the answer that if speculators know we will drill that the price of oil will come down. Now I think that is true, it just supports the democratic bill that was blocked by republicans to regulate the speculators. If actions that will have no effect on oil for the next 10 years affect the price of a barrel of oil now, something is wacky and wrong. And just demonstrates that oil prices are not reflecting supply and demand, even analysts suggest that with ANWR and the continental shelf online the increased supply may lower gas prices 3 cents.





We really don't need to drill, we need to regulate speculation. Yes making sure your tires are not over or under deflated will save you some money today. Also driving 55mph will save you money too. We need a real solution a long term one that increases our use of alternate fuels, use of hybrid and fuel cell technology, etc. This problem does not have a short term solution.





How about McCains gas tax holiday? That is like taking an aspirin for a brain tumor.
Inflating your tires would save you more NOW than drilling! it will take YEARS to get a drop of oil from drilling and even then the oil companies will sell it OUTSIDE OF THE U.S., just like they do NOW. You would be better off inflating your tires and saving NOW.
He also said to tune your car up. Does that count as 2 ideas for energy independence?
Why did McCaincient flip-flop on oil drilling?





Yin: Lets talk when McCain can stick to ONE plan.
No, but this sounds like good idea.
