Look at the links on the bottom. These clowns in congress cant seem to get their heads out of their *sses and figure it out.

The domestic in ground reserves of oil are enormous. If those idiots kill the oil industry how will that effect our reliance on foreign oil . The fact of the matter is the US oil industry has underperformed the US market on ROI consistently. I think its about 8.2% and these clowns keep regulating and taxing them figuring this is going to somehow increase production or reduce price. If we took the reigns off and let the world know we were going to aggressively get back into the domestic production business you would see the bottom drop.


What makes the greeners think any other county can drill in a more environmentally friendly way than us. The fact of the matter is they cant. So let me get this straight, kill US oil companies and production, then rely on others who really don't care about the environment to drill for us and hold us hostage to energy, come on!

I think we are all clear that alternative energy sources are needed but lets stop with the knee jerk (ethanol was a great idea till the facade was blown off that one). Why does France seem (yes France) to be able to generate +/- 80 % of their electricity from nukes and we can't???????

SORRY FOR THE RANT BUT I wish people would take as much time to understand the real issues as they did worrying about who was going to win American Idol or what Brittney did last week.

Again sorry for the rant this stuff drives me crazy!!!!!!!

It has everything to do with OPEC flooding the world with cheap oil in the 90's... so they could slow the investment in alternative energy that began when they pulled their BS in the 70's.
Addiction to cheap energy has caused world oil consumption to rise to stratospheric levels.

Then we have the China play... they are consuming oil at unprecedented rates and their consumption will only increase in the future... what is going to happen?
The US is going to have to get to work on some Nuke plants...
What about Gasification of Coal?
Nothing would be better than telling those damn OPEC extorsionists to flood their countries with all that oil.

Why is China drilling for oil 50 miles off the Florida coast, yet we are not?

Because they can?!? Makes a lot of sense, huh?

Then they can sell it to us and make a tidy profit
