America is desperate for oil.
In the past those danged Arabs needed to sell their oil to America
because you were the only customers available. They've got used to a
high old lifestyle.
They don't want to sell you their oil, they'd like to support the
Palestinians. They'd like to throw you out of their countries. It's
what their public wants. But that was all in the past.

Nowadays as they get a bit more democratic, what their public wants
becomes more important. Just, there was no alternative.
But now there is an alternative. China and India will buy their oil.
They don't actually need to deal with the infidel West any more. They
can buy industrial products from China and India. Cars, even nuclear
weapons.

So, America is very shortly going to be cut out of the loop.
That is why the desperate drilling operations are going on in the Gulf
today. And why there will be a new diaspora. A deserved diaspora.

Well, paying $10.00 per gallon is for many people no big deal. If you are
now paying $3.33 per gallon it is 3 times today's price, if you are paying
$5.00 per gallon it is double today's price.

This is a big increase and you think that no one will accept it? Well think
again! I used to pay $0.39 cents per Canadian gallon which was 1/5 larger
than the US gallon, I am now paying close to $1.00 per liter, which is about
$4.50 per Canadian gallon, which is over 11 times the old price, and the
cost is going up again next week.

If you think back you will recall when gas was cheap, and now people accept
the current price because they have no choice.

10 bucks a gallon will cause another economic dump. people will buy
gas cause they have no choice, and cut discretionary spending.

Wrong. Try looking at the historical price of gasoline, adjusted for
inflation.

http://www.randomuseless.info/gasprice/gasprice.html

cost is going up again next week.

A little, for another week. Typically gas prices increase some during the
summer and then settle back down by September. This year won't be any
different. Gasoline supplies are not constrained at all.

If you think back you will recall when gas was cheap, and now people accept
the current price because they have no choice.

Gas is cheap *now*. If gasoline cost twice what it does now, in real terms,
the economy would completely tank.

BTW, Gas here just went above $2.50/gal. Two weeks ago it was $2.34. It's
the week before Jul 4, historically the largest demand week, so prices are up
a bit.

You’re half right. Yes there is a desperation and it’s due to the
unchecked increase in the population of the world. The irony is that
the people who are the least able to cope with such an increase are
the third world countries who are contributing the most to the

Another flaw with the network tv news is that it has started using

On the other hand, back 1981 when I was driving a 1974
Chevy Impala that got about 8 gallons per mile, gas was
$1.35 a gallon, and I was making 20% of what I'm making
now, gas was pretty expensive. It takes a much smaller

Matrix now than it did in my Impala in 1981.

Wind,solar,or geothermal will not power our motor vehicles,aircraft or run
our military machine.
It will not replace electricity made by oil,coal or nuclear.
(coal = 50% of US electric,nuclear ~20%,for a total of over 70% of US
electric)

IMO,the anti-"Big Oil",anti-drilling folks should cease using any private
transpo powered by petro(gas,diesel,or NG) and use only public
transpo,bicycle,or walk.

Let THEM show us how it's done,before we have to do it.
Let THEM set the "example".

The Canuckistani economy is rather linked to the US economy. When fuel is in
high demand on this side of the borDER, its price goes up on the other side,
necessarily. I guess it's not surprising that elementary economics had to be

You're right!
Bush robbed the poor to give to the rich! ( His friends.)
It baffles me how any working class American can vote Republican. Do
they think if they vote republican they somehow will become rich?

The think the Republicans will make everything like a fantasy of the
1950s. Every home will be like "The Donna Reed Show".

It's not about money. It's about the dream, when crime happened
elsewhere, people were nice, and a home-cooked meal was
served every night.

Well, the Democrats want all of us to live in tents at a commune,
except, of course, the elite who will live in castles and dachas.

then you are part of the problem no matter what your political party.
By your actions you 'forced' the need/desire/greed necessary to get you
your gasoline/energy.

Windmills etc will not cut it, but even still, if YOU don't have a
windmill for added power, you are still just part of the problem, not
part of the solution.

Why on earth did you decide to reply to MY post with this screed?

Well, I'll pretend for just a moment that you didn't select it at
random.

I have no children. That's the gift to the planet that keeps on
giving.

I have no children that I know of. There are people who thank their
chosen deity every day for that. Besides, my doctor told me that I
can no longer have children, he said they contain too much sugar and
I might choke on the small bones.

I've heard the Canadians don't even celebrate July 4th. I don't know
why. Isn't it a world-wide holiday?

The Canuckistani economy is rather linked to the US economy. When fuel is in
high demand on this side of the borDER, its price goes up on the other side,
necessarily. I guess it's not surprising that elementary economics had to be
explained to you.

Hey, I like Canucks, they're like having very weird cousins. Hummm, I do
have some very weird cousins....

You’re half right. Yes there is a desperation and it’s due to the

the people who are the least able to cope with such an increase are
the third world countries who are contributing the most to the
increase.

But the folks in third-world countries don't live very long, so it averages
out. One person in American living to 80 is equivalent to four people in
Somalia living to the ripe age of twenty.

Still, at a population density of Hong Kong, the entire world's population
would fit in West Virginia.

That thought is indeed ghastly (the West Virginia part).



Theoretically, they should evolve faster but it's not working. 8-)
