Who's Responsible For $150 Oil? A List of the Actual Villains

[Wade]

Drilling offshore is another matter. It isn't 10 -15 years as the dems say. It is 1 - 1.5 years from use. the infrastructure is already here. They can use the same exact technique they use in the gulf of mexico.

As for it affecting prices.
Bush lifted the ban on offshore drilling and the price of oil droped 20 dollars a barrel.
Imagine what would happen if Palosi allowed the lifting of the ban to come up for a vote. Palosi is the fall person for the dem agenda.

Question.......
Why not allow drilling in areas we KNOW have huge oil reserves. At the same time increase research into different types of fuel or ways to increase fuel milage?

I don't think electric hybrids should even be considered.
Why??
What do you do with the millions of batteries that will need disposed of?
How do you generate the power needed to recharge the batteries when the enviros and the dems are refusing permits to build new power plants?

Because the Greenies want oil to cost a fortune, it cuts down on it's usage, which they believe should be zero. And, "saves the environment".

Electric hybrids, I don't really believe in them. Electric vehicles are extremely cool. Lead Acid batteries can be recycled. I don't know if all types of batteries can or not.

Anyway, it's like bio fuels, cars will use the next cheapest fuel source, thereby driving the cost of that product through the roof. Electricity, used to power significant numbers of cars, will drive electric rates up. The greenies will fight ever opportunity to build power generation plants. The outcome will be electricity priced out of sight, and a reduction in the use of electricity for general house use. Basically, the greenies are driving us back to the stone age. People need to wake up, and realize that unless your perfectly happy with going back to the clothes line type of living, you better make sure the infrastructure is in place.

Yet nowhere in all of these post's does anyone state the waste of oil resources that occurs in the name of recreation wether it be boating, fishing, hunting, taking a sunday drive to look at the fall colors, and yes even snowmobiling.. No one says yes, I am responsible too. No one wants to do their part, all they want is to blame someone else. Maybe it's time to look within. Cancel a few trips this year and ride closer to home. Get involved in your local club and some of your time spent will be less sled time but, you will be gathering with fellow sledheads and what could be wrong with that? Think about it....

You don't believe in them? You do know they are real though, right? I am a strong supporter of hybrids.... the use of ultra-capacitors as a storage device to consume the maximum amount of braking energy would make those systems much much more efficient. Most batteries are recycled if not all. There just needs to be programs similar to a hardware store... bring in your old battery and you get 5 bucks off of a newer one. I think that system works pretty good, at least in Illinois it did.

People need to wake up, and realize that unless your perfectly happy with going back to the clothes line type of living, you better make sure the infrastructure is in place.

That or methods/materials/processes need to be created so that every person in the world can be energy self sufficient...... but not many people want the world to go in that direction..... way too much power to give up.

how to fix it

This is a easy fix If we would just do it. Home heating 100% electric all public transportation 80% natural gas 20% electric. us fleet electric cars NATURAL GAS( stop waisting it for heat). hybrid and diesel. Build 150-250 nuclear power plants this would solve it. The rest of the us oil needs could be solved with us, canada and mexican supplies. So you ask why have we not done this??? Its simple we have no real leadership just a bunch of hacks on both sides.
