QUOTE NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- With oil prices setting records over $90 a barrel and $100 looking ever more likely, experts say there's a good chance drivers will see $3 gasoline before the end of the year. "Three dollar gasoline in this market is unavoidable," said Stephen Schork, publisher of the industry newsletter the Schork Report. "At this rate, we're going to see $4 a gallon."  I can't fucking wait! Seriously....I just bought a new truck that averages about 12 mpg! I'm gonna be having $200 fillups! Now that we're well on our way to $4 gas, let's shut down EVEN MORE drilling operations, not allow any new refinery expansions or, god forbid, entirley new refineries to be built and then blame the oil companies!

That's a retarded article. Oil prices have fluctuated so much in the past six months that every one of these tards is just guessing at this point.
Increase drilling, increase steam/CO2 injection well reclamation, give us more retorts for shale/coal to oil, and forget the NIMBY folks, another refinery will not hurt us. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

I'm down for more refineries AND increased research & testing of VIABLE (not that goddamn ethanol shit...) alternative energy sources.
I don't want the environment destroyed, but that's not the oil companies' goal obviously. They've learned some lessons from past mistakes and general federal oversight should keep them from instituting any scorched earth policies. =P -------------------- |

I also think that tons of funding should be put towards developing the efficient storage of power. Whether it's fuel cells, giant wheels or batteries, there needs to be a way to store whatever energy we create, whether it's from gas, coal, nuclear power, solar, etc. |

Bio diesel, ethanol, and every other hollywood buzz word alternative fuel, are completey impractical, period. You want a hydrogen economy, fine, but you will never have it without nuclear power to produce the hydrogen. Period. -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

Get a car and shut your mouth. |

This Some people i can see having one for job related activities.... but i REALLY don't feel bad for people who drive gas gusling SUV's and Trucks when they just as easily could go with 30Mpg Car. (don't know if dogmeat needs one or not, just speaking in generalities.) -------------------- |

I use my pickup bed twice a week when I'm working in Giddings
Trucks serve another purpose though. When some dumb cunt broadsides you going 70 on Elkhart driving down the wrong side of the road, and your truck flips and rolls over two times, you go home with minor cuts and bruises. When some dumb cunt does the same thing and you're driving a car, you go home in a body bag. Warrants mentioning. --------------------   |

But thats the exact same reasoning the dumb bitch hitting you uses... thus you are being hit by a 2 ton SUV that is being driven by a sorority whore who thinks she needs a tank whilst driving. Im not saying that Trucks and SUV's aren't better in some areas... but i still don't feel sorry for people who burn through 3 times the gas as me for that peace of mind. Pulling a boat, snow mobile, etc.; want to feel more secure... all that is fine. I just don't feel sorry for the people using it for that reason and then complaining that gas is too expensive. Not all cars are mobile coffins. -------------------- |

Not all cars are mobile coffins. She was driving a Taurus or something, not a truck. In 2001 I agreed with you and almost sold my truck to buy a Supra. Then I got in that wreck and it completely changed my perspective. It's like gun control - you're against guns until you come into a situation where one might save your life. I'm not gonna bitch about gas prices though. It's my choice to drive a gas guzzler. -------------------- |

Get a car and shut your mouth. You didn't detect a single hint of the sarcasm I intended there, did you?  I'm usually the first person to criticize people for buying fullsize trucks and SUV's they have zero use for whatsoever. Hell .... The truck I had wasn't big enough, I actually had to buy a bigger one
