A large
part of the problem is the Environmentalists and the politicians (mostly
Democrats) that listen to them. That’s why we aren’t allowed to drill for more
oil off-shore, on-shore, convert coal to oil, process shale oil (more oil reserves
in the USA than all of the middle east), or build new nuclear power plants.
They want higher oil prices so we will use less and cause less global warming. But
how do we stop the 2 Billion Chinese and Indians from burning more oil than us
as they develop. The Environmentalists would rather see us bleed a half Trillion dollars out of the country’s economy every year than become
energy self-sufficient. And make the Arabs rich so they can coat their Mercedes
with diamonds.

The remarks of politicians about what is paid in Europe,
or anywhere other than the USA,
have been made to try to get US citizens to go along with
higher gas prices without a revolt.
Al Gore said we "needed" higher gas prices.
It doesn't matter to me what someone pays in another
part of this world.
When you have no wells and no refineries you pay what it
takes... and then get the hell
screwed out of you by added government taxes.
We have oil reserves, sources of oil, refineries, and
distribution.
Now, we have added taxes and higher prices and we are
told we should be grateful.
Gasoline is about $1 a gallon in Central America.
Is the USA unable to compete with that ?
Let's vote everyone out and start over with people who
will represent us.
Please go back to discussions of Forward Look vehicles
and happier topics than the idea
that we should be thankful for our gasoline
prices.

Well, that is close to about right: almost $10 a gallon.
Won’t keep me from driving my doggies around, but we’re thinking twice

Onderwerp: [FWDLK] gas prices
Just curious, as I was recently fondly
looking back on the day two or three years ago when gas prices took a sudden
jump from around $1.75 to around $2.50 a gallon seemingly overnight and
everyone was up in arms. At that time, we were reminded that in Europe
they were already paying $3.50 - $4 a gallon.
Of course, we here in the US kinda
scoffed that it would ever get that high for us!
So, now that we have passed $3.50 and
are quickly on the way to 4 bucks a gallon, I was just curious what our
European friends are paying today for a gallon? (Yes I know they buy liters,
not gallons, but maybe they're smarter than me and can do the conversion?)
$8? $10?
