- Actually, it''s time to just take the oil from the Arabs and tell them, "Sorry, we don''t need you any more. Enjoy your sand box."

- Why can''t we start drilling for oil in Alaska? Seems like the most intelligent "next step" for us. I know that we might have opposition from the environmentalists and possibly other special interest groups, but hey, standing on our heads with our money being sucked out of our pockets at the pumps isn''t too appealing either.

- New Jersey has gas 75 cents cheaper than California. That isnt because NJ is in the oil patch. NJ has no oil production. NJ has superior refinery capacity. Get on with the new construction.

It was time about six months ago. The government is late and short, as usual. If it spent less time worrying about cover-up and more time about prevention, we wouldn''t be here. - Reply to this comment

- B-Mob hates the idea of us being able to buy gas from our own government at cost.....which would be about $1.25 a gallon.

- Markey is a blooming idiot. 700 million barrels in reserve ready to be released?? Released to where??? Refineries that don''''t exist??? The oil companies have no incentive to increase refinery output or build new refineries. -- They make obscene billions doing what they are doing - laughing all the way to the bank.
Supply and demand my a$$.

You are totally correct, refineries in the US are not having crude supply problems, so as you say, releasing this crude would have no effect as most refiners are running at maximum capacity. - Reply to this comment

- The solution is to pass a law that makes anyone who buys an oil futures contract in the commodities markets to actually take delivery of that oil and no be able to sell the contract for a profit.
The solution is so simple a child could figure it out.
It will never happen though because our president and congress are in bed with all theses super rich speculators who are running up oil prices. - Reply to this comment

- YES! We should slowly, moderately release the oil reserves.
Also, I''d like to see ONE US-run state oil company enter the market. Operate it as a regulated business producing gasoline and diesel fuel with a goal of 5% above cost annual profit--a moderate amount. That would put pressure on Big Oil not to swindle the rest of us and give us a benchmark of what real cost plus 5% is. - Reply to this comment
- "Strategic" is a military term. The oil reserves are there in case OPEC turns off our oil supply. It would keep food coming to the cities long enough for our military to do something about it.

- Yes, when the U.S. Corrupt Government and the RICH stop playing games; otherwise, it will only make matters worst - the lack of reserves will hyper-inflate oil prices by the profiteering government its bedfellows.
