If we remove Nancy Pelosi and most of the Democrats in the Congress and vote McCain... will we be able to get some oil at the Gulf?
And will it be $1 something? I hope so. It is so sad to see America go down like this.
If we have OIL spill at the Gulf, we can always clean it up and take care of the animals.If we start drilling oil at the Gulf, will the gas price be $1 something again?
What makes you think the American Oil companies will sell all of this oil only to the USA... its a wicked game they play. ExxonMobil sells oil to overseas and you at the same time.
There is no way to drill to independence without a HUGE - AND I MEAN MAJOR - Social change in the way we consume oil. And, even then the oil companies will just sell off the left overs to Asia - keeping the price high.
People put way to much faith in corrupt businessmen.
Watch There Will Be Blood. I think it does a great job of explaining the mentality of Oil Men even a hundred years ago. If we start drilling oil at the Gulf, will the gas price be $1 something again?
No. We don't have oil reserves sufficient to significantly affect our dependence on foreign oil, or the global price, given our current level of consumption.
The motivation for increased drilling is to give oil companies access to more stock they can sell at something very much like the current high price, or higher.
I think those reserves are a national asset, of great strategic value, and should be conserved by national policy.
Especially since much of our current consumption is unnecessary. It is consumption for luxury purposes. We should not be willing to compromise our national strategic situation for a such a frivolous purpose.
The luxury lifestyles in question can be maintained with alternate technologies. There are many available for development.
LOOK, its' the oil Companies that have you by the short and curlies not Nancy Pelosy- it ain't light sweet crude anymore, its' more like asphalt and will continue to remain so indefinitely. So get use to it and stop blaming everybody who isn't always on your side! We need other sources of energy period or get reamed at the pumps as George Bush would have us do in order to enrich his backers- the Saudi's, Bin Laden familly, oil companies and their ilk. You guys could use at least some imagination once and awhile.
Probably not. As far as oil spills, when have you heard of an oil spill off an oil rig? Isn't it usually from boats? When I was young we wouldn't pay 28 cents because it was too much. Now with China, India, and other countries buying the big cars the demand has gone up and so has the price. If there was more oil on the market then the prices would go down. We need oil. It makes plastic, petroleum jelly, cosmetics, and a host of other everyday needs. It is not just gasoline. People forget that. Our country runs on oil and that won't change anytime soon. We can work on lessening the need, but it won't go away.
no you can drill as many wells as you want and the price will not drop. Trust me tomorrow they could announce they just struck the largest well ever more oil than all others combined and the price wouldn't drop.
Do a little research and find just how much of the oil brought into the U.S. actually cost the oil companies over $100 per barrel. It doesn't most have oil fields they own or lease. so the price per barrel is already set.
We are drilling in in the Gulf of Mexico.
The oil companies own the oil they drill and sell on the world market so I guess you're saying, without taxes, world wide gas prices would be $1. Do you think you're being reasonable?
Clean up is very costly and adds to the cost of getting oil. At the same time cleanup is only partial and each spill is one more nail in the coffin of our oceans.
This isn't like digging in your backyard. If they give go ahead with drilling they'll need to explore find places to drill and pump oil. It will take several years for actual oils to come out of additional drilling. They just tell you like its gona give us extra oil like tomorrow if they give green light today. You're real sucker if you believe this drilling is going to make difference for us anytime soon.
Nope. Why would oil companies want to flood the market with oil and deflate the price of their own product?
Doesn't make a lot of sense does it.
All this talk about drilling or not drilling is a bunch of meaningless hype. The oil companies are making record profits...why would they want the price of gas to drop?
very unlikely. It would lower the price a small amount for a small amount of time. Then, we'd still be back at the same place. Better, try renewable resources.
Also, there is NOT an unlimited amount of oil there. It'd run out
We are already drilling in the gulf. all over the gulf. http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/nati鈥?/a>
EVEN IF WE OPENED EVERYTHING TO DRILLING $3.00 A GALLON IS ;PROBABLY TH CHEAPEST WE WILL EVER SEE.
OPENING ALL AREAS TO DRILLING WILL HELP TO STABLE GAS PRICES AND GIVE US TIME TO DEVELOP ALTERNATIVES
Get $1 gas out of your head unless God almighty himself becomes president in our corporal world.
Oh, and actually likes us.
It's unlikely, this is more about becoming energy independent than lower gas prices. At least that's what I think is more important.
Yeah... we love oil spills

Here's a gooder.
Gas is waaay to expensive these days. Luckily I've found a site that offers free gift cards for it. Life's great when you don't have to pay for your gas =)
No, but gasoline won't hit $5 a gallon till either the oil dries up or the drilling stops. Gas will probably even drop to $4 a gallon.
I guess you were too young to remember the massive ecological damage caused by the Exxon Valdez disaster, huh?
Some people just never *learn*...
I seriously doubt we will ever see gas in the dollar range again.
Of course not. McCain in office will be another 4 years of president bush.
You can take Nancy Pelosi and shove her down an oil well and we would all be better off!!!!!
