OMG! Call your representatives! Have them pass a windfall profit tax! Better yet, have them pass a law that requires oil companies to give us the gas for free! Make China & India reduce their demand for oil!

Like Donna said, who cares?

These apologists need to try not buying into the Bush/Cheney/Exxon/Mobil propaganda so much. Increased demand from China and India is only part of the reason. Bush's ill-advised destabilization of the entire Middle East is also a BIG factor. Those who are still in denial of that reality have the credibility level of, well... Bush.

Awhile back, i'd talked somewhere in this forum about subject on Peak oil, war-for-profit emterprises, alternative energy and its geopolitical contentions ... And, how the greedy multi-conglomerates keep alternative energy tech and/or FREE energy-producing patent saving devices from the public/consumer. Just Regurgitating ! Why didn't US govt solve the problem ahead of time instead instead going to war, did they know about the geopolitcal contentions for petro... Greed! The USA gov't, multi-conglomerates, ruling elitish... denied the facts about war-for-profit enterprises for resources.... We the lowly populace have to deal with the world ruling elitish evil agendas like war-for-profit enterprises... Instead USA could have all this time develop our alternative energy infrastructer since the 60s' like clean coal tech that u mentioned , develope technologies like waste, solar,wind, water... to run our infrastructer. But, No! Its Power and Greed! The ruling elitish agendas, NWO, are to keep us all in the dark...to make as much money; in ther coffers, control us like ginuea pigs...

Let me ask you do you remember year ago December 2006 in crude at low USD $60/barrel and as of Dec. 2007 crude range low USD $ 90 and still raising ,What 40-50%- HIWAY ROBBERY! As of year first quarter 2008 , the crude is at low 100s and still going going going... When will it stop. I smell rat!---> Its Greed! Lets introduced "Close the Enron Loop Hole Act! Its about time we lowly populace do something ! Who makes all this Big Profit, after operation cost,deductions, taxes ...the priviledged few, multi-conglomerates, gov't, OPEC,Hedge funders, hi-class speculators ... are ones to be blamed for raising petro prices and other commodities... kept us in dark fopr to long, it about time...! They made 100s of billion of dollars bottom line, soon, taking away our shirt, no more of our lowly livihood !
Know they already developed the CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGY (Main Source) VS all other Alternative Energy saving Tech and consumer saving energy patents; which the ruling elitish want to shut us out of free energy/saving devices. The alternatives will be complementing or used as side dish to Solar/wind/Polmerization/water ... so on!
As to Oil exploration it is getting HARDER to FIND and More EXPENSIVE as we drill deeper, Equipment Cost ...aint economically feasible anymore. And, lets not forget problemetic geopolitical contention that America have deal with.
With Coal is most abundant source on planet earth, so you can take Peak Oil theory through into garbage with rest .
If we do runout of Oil... Conglomerates are already secretly gearing up to put Clean Coal Tech into place if world do run out of oil.
You wouldnt believe what the secret R/D lab are doing We have Coal Liquified/Globul/Waste...
Clean Coal Tech will be our next main energy staple for USA, into near future as R/D already find ways...
As to Clean Coal Technology is already feasible for the long term as big conglomerate is working on.( Names i can not disclos.) They pass R/D (40 years) with patent and have build running plant with clean coal efficiency of 97 -99% emmission standard as compare to NG, meaning clean as NG. We have enough about 75 - 80% USA land mass is cover with Coal underground, as we have plenty. Venture capitalist is investing in it also.(Sorry, dont have time, Do your own research)
The multi-conglomerates had done research/development into clean coal technology already since '60s , with patent for over 40 years plus and running plant...; we could have avoided the war with Iraq... for carbon-based energy resources... You know the US Land mass is cover with 75-80% coal, why the war for oil ?
Also, why all this time when gov't with conglomerate, are negligent in going to war for Oil, petro...(NO! More like Criminal intent to kill us all!) take time to do proper research into war-for-profit enterprises and its crime agianst humanity. Does it irk you that we are really going to war for Oil, commodities...?
Do some research you will be amazed on the foul-up of various gov't adminstration with ruling elitish, as they do more harm then help us throughout history, botched many of various domestic and global policies.
Clean coal tech can be up and runing since the early 80s , but NO! Believe it or not, instead going to war for petro; the WORLD ruling elite evil agendas and the with criminal intent to kill us all, the lowly populace - senting our children to future war for material resources...!

All that Americans have to do is car pool and this Arab sh-t will be below 50 again. Problem is, people like to drive alone to work. Just go into any office buildg. with 100 employees and you will need 99 parking spots.
Either way, the good thing about 5 dollar gas is the a-sshole next to my home wont be squealing his wheels on Friday nights...just think, a piece of crap that gets 12 mpg of 5 dollar a gallon gas over at Gas-N-Go,,,,that means this kid will be walking to school by April.

It is time for President Bush to wake up and to save the American economy from self-destruction due to suicidal self-embargo on using American own fuel and to allow American companies drilling for oil while using our unlimited gas, coal, oil shale for making fuel for cars.
Clearly, US waters and land have plenty of oil, coal, gas, and oil shale in our back yards that will be more than enough for 500 years for fueling US cars.
Bush administration clearly failed the American people in his efforts to appease Saudi King Abdullah with the Israel sacrifice of Jerusalem and the West Bank lands to Islamic terrorist suicide bombers as demanded by King Abdullah… However, as the deal failed it make Abdullah very angry and he decided to raise the oil price…
President Bush made the American people hostages of the Saudi King by refusing to drill for oil in ANWR and US land and waters, which made American losing its independence as a nation and be dependent on favors from corrupt Radical Islamic kings and sheiks that support the Islamic terrorist suicide bombers of al Qaida.
OPEC is right to suck as much money from the American people as he can and increase the price of crude oil to $120 and even $200. OPEC is right to tell US to drill its own oil in ANWR Alaska and in US continent and US waters.
Clearly, OPEC is right to tell the American people that they need to use their own American source of gas, coal, and oil shale and nuclear power facilities to create their fuel for their cars.
OPEC is right to keep their own resources for themselves and send only small amount of crude oil or even send no crude oil to US and to suggest that US start to use its own energy resources that since 1995 were put under embargo under the reckless Bill Clinton veto to appease the left wing liberal psychos.
It is time that the American people to stand up to corrupt politicians and demand from their incompetent politicians, House Representatives and Senators to allow the use of oil from ANWR and other American energy sources, which were put under embargo by the corrupt Clintons, and the corrupt liberal politicians.
It is time for OPEC to stop sending oil to US and to demand that US will produce its own energy from its own resources.

Well said and true. President Bush and Secretary of State Rice failed miserably in their poor foreign policy that is based on appeasement of radical Islamic Saudi Arabia King Abdullah...
Bush made each and every American hostage of King Abdullah instead of using clean coal technology to produce fuel for US cars for the next hundreds of years and instead Bush sends our US troops to fight and die for the Saudi and Kuwaiti oil...
President Bush irresponsible and failed policy and creating dangerous dependence of US on Iran regime of Ahmadinajad and Saudi Arabia King Abdullah is bad news for the American people and Bush is the one that is responsible to the damage to US economy due to oil increasing prices...

Either drill for oil on our own territory...or actually use the armed forces of our own country to secure the oil for our own citizens. Those are the two logical choices. Why don't our leaders act in our interests and decide on one of those two choices? "Bush's War For Oil"..what a joke! Generally a war for an item ends up with the victor having MORE of the item, not paying more for it.
