It's "you're", jeez!

Sorry, there's more than one McNugget in the box.

There is a loser for every winner in the speculation market. We can blame Bush for this if you just wanna take pot shots, but he just sets the tone. Congress has complete control and most of us know this. Those who keep up also know that the Demacrats have supported every eco bill known to man to block us from using our resourses. Spotted owls and tiger mussels, remember them? To say drilling now won't help for ten years might be right, but at least ten years from now we will be able to access that resource, but thats the Democrats response.

Remember in 2002 and the pain index? Are you better off now than you were in 2000? Ask that same question today. I voted for some Democrats in the last election and look at what happened. Vote for Obama? I'd rather piss on a spark plug!

blame the people who put them into office; quick someone get me a mirror!

Will you guys vote for me????

What this nation needs is a Manhattan Project Size Plan for our nations energy policy. We need to put politics aside.

My plan....
Start Drilling in ANWAR- the oil companies say they can do it cleanly, so let them...with huge penalties if they fail to drill cleanly. Start extracting oil from the sands in utah etc...This is short term...

While we are doing that...we get the best minds in the nuclear industry together (GE, Westinghouse etc) and come up with one common design for the world's most advance nuclear powerplants...safe, and efficient. With a goal of 25% nuclear power in 10 years, 50% in 15 years, and 75% in 20 years. (BTW France gets 95% of thier electric power from nuclear.)

While we're doing that, use some of the subsidies that we currently give oil companies to make solar power 50% more efficient than it currently is in 7 years. Once we do that, then offer subsidies to homeowners that will make the break even point for electric power in your house a 5 year proposition.

If we get solar and nuclear on-line as I will, than we will have a glut of safe and efficient electric power, to power our cars. I think that the car companies are getting the idea now that hybred/electric is the future, but let's just say that in 15 years our goal is to have 50% of the nations fleet be hybred/electric.

Even while that's going on, we need to make geothermal energy more widespread and efficient especially for heating up north. We'll get the experts together on that and have national guidelines and goals for that.

Whew, finally, there will still be a need for oil/gas and Exxon and Mobil, we'll still be more energy efficient than we are now.

Anyhow, I'd appreciate your vote- my official position will be significantly more detailed than this.

BTW...Very little wind energy is in my plan...the windmills are a blight on the horizon...maybe a few as we bridge the gap to efficient solar.

Vote for El Pobre!.....Right On!!!

All of this my party is better than your party nonsense is just plain stupid. Politicians have been blabbing about fixing the energy situation in this country for at least the last 30 years, regardless of who's in office or who's in control of congress. Nothing has been done. We import more foreign oil now than we have ever before. Vote for who ever you want...bring about as much change as you want, but anyone would be naive to think that some corrupt, arrogant, selfish politician (or a group of them) are really going to do anything to fix the problem. If the last 30 (not just the last 7 or 8) years aren't enough of an indicator for you, then I don't know what to tell you.

Supply and demand aren't an issue; speculators are. The speculators are involved because they saw an increase in price in the future due to conflict in the Middle East. It got out of control when speculation about Iran got going, and it's never stopped. As for the value of the dollar, that's only contributing a small amount to the price of a barrel of oil. Oil would still be well over $100/bbl even if the dollar was 1.00 to the Euro. Not to mention that the reason the dollar is worthless right now is because of failed Shrub economic policies.

Wow you leave a plethora of info to refute. Actually everything. Speculators are looking at the possibility of hostilities in Iran and a the real possibility of a democrat being elected. Oil would be much less if Clinton had not vetoed oil exploration and the democrats/environmental whack jobs had not put so many restrictions on drilling.exploration/refining/nuclear/etc...

Mr Bush's economic policies have been the only thing keeping us out of the ditch, but Obama will gladly kick us in the ditch with increased taxes across the board with the help of a dem house/senate. God help us. Yes, I said God.

I heard they were working on a hybrid jet airliner. Combination of everyone flapping their arms at the same time and 200 electric powered model airplane engines. Look on the bright side: we'll all be unemployed breathing cleaner air. On the downside, those of you with crappy marriages will be spending more time at home.

Well, you could make a pretty good case that Bush's war destabilized the mideast and is the reason oil is being speculated so high. As you could make a pretty good case that Iraq was not a threat to us in any way and had zero Al Qaeda presence prior to our invasion. Now they are a haven for Al Qaeda. You could make a pretty good case that we had the worlds support to go after Al Qaeda in Afghanastan and had them realitivly cornered, but now Bush has done more to unite the muslim fanatics than anyone else and the scarry part is he thinks God is on his side. Yes, I said God.

I am not saying that Obama is the answer, but Bush's economic policy? Have you seen the national debt and the value of the dollar lately?

I agree with a Manhattan style project, but my version would be a little bit different. We need to drill some now, and build a crap load of Nuclear power plants (believe it or not, a crap load ARE being built, Obama, McCain, whatnot, there are plants being built or planned on being built). By converting to nuclear power we can then start the mass production of hydrogen power and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Will there still be a need for Mobile and Exxon? Some, I think aircraft will still be power by Jet A, but with demand in the toilet due to a conversion to hydrogen technology, I am sure jet fuel will be cheap to say the least.

I know we have gone way off thread topic here but it is amazing how all the dems have changed this to Bush's War once things started to take longer than a Saturday Matinee., which happens to be the typical attention span of a red, white, and blue lib.

Or you could look at the facts and realize that Al Queda has spent a tremendous amount of energy, money, and human resources trying to fight us in Iraq and Afghanistan at the same time.
One successful warfare strategy is to make the enemy fight you on your terms and on his lands.

I am not saying that Obama is the answer, but Bush's economic policy? Have you seen the national debt and the value of the dollar lately?

Well, Obama is going to be "the answer", so people might want to pay attention to what he's saying.

So far, he wants and additional 300 billion/yr in new entitlements. He's likely to get it.

That's only a trillion dollars added to the national debt over the next 8 years. But I'm sure the massive transfers of wealth he's going to take away from "the rich" at the point of a gun will take care of it.

It's called "Sacrifice" and 95% of the U.S. population is willing to let you make it!
