Topic: Better than offshore drilling

Hammett, if you actually buy Obama's crap (especially his energy policy), I have a 2008 Suburban hybrid that gets 50mpg to sell you.....One day when you have 2 car payments a mortgage, insurance payments a wife and kids you'll realize that everything the Democraps have been feeding you is total bullshit. As for now we'll let it slide due to youthful ignorance, idealism, inexperience and stupidity.

If BO were so much into going green he would first suggest that waste of fossil fuels simply for comfort were a crime. We know that is not going to happen anymore than Gore will give up all of his comforts. If all of these people that love the enviromet so much that they want all of us regular Joes to give up our comfort, why haven't they taken the first step to going totally green why do they still fly in private jets drive the great big or very fast cars and why is it there houses have not been made to not use any fossil fuels. If it is such a "crime" to use fossil fuels why are they not following there own advice.

Oh yeah one other thing if BO really believed so much in not drilling off shore why is he now considering drilling if it included all of the options that he has already voted against. the same ones that JMc has been asking for when gas was still down around $3.50 a gal when he realized that we had to do some things that would change the perception of this world about our own ability to take care of our own needs.

More bull crap from Hammy and his Boy Obuma.

hey penieal will the new "sane" councel get in are they going to give the people that replace them "good ole boys" cars too?

Kind of makes you think don't it?

Will people up north get more then the people down south from Obamas $1000 each bribe?
it cost more for NRG up north.
hummm Mr. Hankey bets that if he could Obuma would make it $2000.00 of exons money for each Voter oops taxpayer in the red states.

if you can't win them over ....Buy them over.
what do you know Obumma is really an American after all.

Let's see if I understand Andrew. We should tap the national oil reserve to bring the cost of gas down (artificially) for a very short term savings then have to buy oil back at a higher price to insure we have the proper reserve in the event of an actual emergency? What an odd idea. This is a simply supply and demand issue and in fact it's working, as the price has risen, people have used less and slowly the market is moving towards a new equilibrium.

No Hammmy just wants us all to fill up our tires with Obummas hot air.
BTY net Obumma will tax that!

Here is whats going to happen if we tap the SPR.

1. Gas will get a short term reduction in price, until the feds start buying oil again to replace what was tapped, then oil begins to rise again.
2. As soon as we use what we tapped an begin to buy again to refill the SPL, on top of what we use already on a daily basis, Iran will do something stupid like mine the Persian Gulf to be a even larger thorn in our side and to jack up oil prices. This will skyrocket prices even worse becasue now we have our normal use of oil as well as the fed buying oil to place back into the SPL for fear of a regional conflict, the speculators will go nuts, then we're going to have to clear the shipping lanes in the Persian Gulf to restore the flow of oil as oil hits $300+ a bbl and $8/gal.

If Obama were any dumber he's have to hire someone to follow him around and remind him to breathe.

Why not just pass the bill to do all of the above, wind, solar, shale to oil, drilling. Biofuels are just another dodge by the congress to make it look like they are doing something, when in fact they are cause food prices to rise at a faster pace than just the rise in fuel prices. Doing all of the above is the only way to insure that we get thru this crisis while still working on viable resouces that will reduce the need for oil, they will never do away with the need for oil. Way too many things are made from oil everything from trash cans to bras.
As for Wyatts plan lets just fine every individual that cannot afford to buy a new car that gets great milage, lets really hurt those less fortunate than some. Aren't those the same people that the left wants to care for.

Solar power needs Net Metering Laws to be more practical. Write to your State Reps, they vote on it shortly.
