Re: Do you think this will lower the price of gas?
Yep, and if we got serious about domestic drilling, doing so would piss-off the Arabs and we can't have that! There's a very good reason why our president eagerly holds hands with the Saudi oil sheiks when he goes over for a visit. They have the cheapest available oil and we need it BAD. Domestic drilling will happen only when OPEC oil hits $200--no, $300 a barrell AT LEAST. Wonder why oil has been dropping in price? Maybe because the Saudis saw Americans conserving/using less gas and screaming for domestic drilling. The OPEC boys got together (yes, they collude in secret) to stop all this talk about conservation and alternative sources of oil. Price creeps down and crisis (for Saudis and OPEC) subsides. Whew, Allah be praised!
Okay, okay, I'll stop now!
