If someone farts in the middle east why does gas need to go up to 5.00 gallon in the USA.. is the stock market playing games or what. I am getting tired of being strong armed by this group of dice rolling fear mongers, we all seen the last time prices like this it was caused by a guy leaving oil shipments sit idle off port to inflate prices... is he in jail..NO Good thing we invaded iraq with all there oil......next libya ? http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelo.../could-middle-eastern-turmoil-hamper-recovery
We need to stop the tree hugging crap and start drilling our own oil. Yes safely, but let's do it now.
Gas was 3.15 on Tuesday, jumped to 3.25 on Wednesday and jumped again to 3.35 today where I am at. You sure never see it go the other direction that fast
It is flat out pathetic we aren't willing to do anything to bring down oil prices!!! Maybe new leadership n 2012 will help???
I'm glad we don't have car payments to deal with anymore. Makes the fill-ups a little less painful. I'm all for drilling domestically. Of course, there are questions of the magnitude of our untapped reserves, and just truly how much we would have, but reducing foreign dependence would be great. Will it happen? Probably not.
Diesel jumped to 3.69 here today....and I have another month to make it before work kicks back in.....FML lol
Well I used to run parts and supply out to the companies that drilled in the Gulf. The company I worked for shut its doors in December and now I work part time for Lowes. I will stop there. 2012
Yes, but not enough and there are definitely some untaped areas. The US imports roughly 70% of it's oil. If that were flipped we probably wouldn't see gas prices going all over the place every time someone trips and scuffs their knee in the middle east.
There is as much oil 100 miles off the coast of California as there is in the Gulf. No oil rigs here because of all the liberals and tree huggers in this d*#^ state.
from what i've read the US has enough untapped oil resources to self-sustain for ~60yrs... that is PLENTY of time to get our next energy source lined up and in place... it will remove us from teh growing uncertainty of prices from the volatile opec nations... declare all US oil reserves a matter of natl security and that the oil may not enter the world market, treat it as a utility, much like ComEd for instance... it will not be cheaper, don't kid yourself, but it will get us away from foreign sources, specifically the middle east... i would say we also strike a treaty of some type with canada (we import most of our oil from them anyway) and co-develop our next energy source... we still have the engineering mite to make this happen and have plenty of time left over before it goes dry at the pump... but we've gotta make the first step that nobody is willing to do...
