  • How Much Worse Can It Get For Oil?
    fredlee, I believe what User 189774 was referring to was that back in the Arab oil embargo/gas line fiasco of the 70's, we should have learned our lesson & the US govt. should have correctly researched & eventually passed a far-reaching, comprehensive plan of energy sustainability within our own hemisphere--drilling off of our own coasts (far enough offshore that the tree-huggers wouldn't get their knickers in a twist), drilling up in the Alaskan tundra, making much better use of our nuclear power plant technology (like our Socialist ally France), and making a firm commitment to research/use proven hydro, wind & solar power designs.
    I do agree with you in one sense - that the US govt. has seen this coming since 87'-88' and has not had the political will to do anything about it due to the radical environmentalists controlling the Dems & the wealthy US oil corps. controlling the Repubs. The Dems placate their far lefty base by blocking all attempts @ domestic drilling & refinery construction & the Repubs. allow the oil companies to profit obscenely due to the increased demand and limited capasity to refine more then what we're pumping out right now. We are @ a cross-roads now people....say goodbye to the US that you once grew up in- I've always believed that once the European Union became a reality, that the Western Hemisphere was going to follow suit.....& to do that our economy/standard of living must be reduced to approx. equal Canada & Mexico so that we can all fall under a common currency (can everyone say 'Amero '?!??). That is why our fearless leaders will not tighten our borders- weakening the Dollar & raising energy/food costs for US families is the quickest way to bring down the US standard of living - which is why I laugh in disgust when I hear our 'politicians' (especially the Dems) railing about 'getting even' w/ 'Big Oil'! The last time that I checked, these companies were American companies, employing american workers! Oops, that's right, it's not politically correct to want good paying jobs for our own citizens....we now need to 'redistribute' the incomes of the producing citizens of our country, to give them to the 'takers' who wait for the govt. to provide for all of their needs....how sad & pathetic we've become as a nation.
