Comments on: Oil Sets New Record: Over $132 A Barrel

Analysts Fear Little Can Be Done To Stem Runaway Prices

Why continue drilling dry Arab oil wells? All around the Americas there are vast reserves of off-shore petroleum. Those governments are offering cheap deals on leases. Congress should authorize the negotiations. American Oil Companies could make billions of dollars immediately. Motorists in the United States are simply asking for a reasonable charge for gasoline.

Expect prices to continue to rise until we hit $5 per gallon gas and then shortages will set in. Not only will you be paying 3 times more for gas than 6 years ago, but it will be in short supply. You will go to gasoline stations and see "out of gas" signs on the pumps.

Hi,

Have you heard about this website suggests consumers can save time, money and frustration in lieu of high gas prices. I agree and I am glad the internet is getting on the "band wagon". Maybe if more people use the internet for shopping etc, instead of driving around for everything less gas would be purchased and the big wigs would get the message.

Republicans and sleeping Americans won''''t wake up until gas is $10 a gallon and riots over food happen later this year. Yes, it is coming...to a street near you.

You stole my thunder, yes it is coming, and it''s a lot closer than most people dare realize. Some of these rich technocrats should take a look at history and see what happens when things get desperate. They feel so safe and secure in their big homes on the hill, but they will be worthless after they burn to the ground, and the insurance companies walk away. There will no doubt be a lot of people die, and many of those that don''t die, will wish they were dead. The contingency plans are already in place for riots in the streets, and the aftermath of the burning of major US cities. These idiots just don''t believe that it will happen to them. When the poor have nothing to lose, and the rich think that they will be secure, their won''t be enough bullets to stop them. Many a rich fool will end up being the first to suffer the wrath. Some foolishly believe that the government will save them, but if the infrastructure is destroyed it will be nearly impossible for that to happen. There is a lot more vulnerability than can be imagined. Especially if the oil stops flowing, and trucks stop rolling. It won''t be pretty, and I won''t predict the outcome.

Gy the way that is a good site you offered up.

''Scuse me, but why the heck are we sending money to countries that already have millions from us in the first place? Saudi already is getting a nice flow because of Ernest P Worle aka GW Bush and the Evil Emperor aka Cheney, we keep rebuilding Iraq just to have the terrorists blow it up so we can rebuild again, so the terrorists can... well you get my drift. Then we send money and aid to China, Mynmar and where the heck are they when our people need help recovering from the natural disasters? USA who?? Looks like GW and Cheney moved faster to help those others than with Katrina aid and the aid needed for the midwest for recovery from the tornados!!!!
Shouldn''t our government take care of those who pay the taxes and their wages???
Don''t you think it''s about time we depend on ourselves and our natural resources we have here?? We can drill for oil and still preserve our natural heritage if we really wanted to. Come on, people, if we can figure out how to build computers, cars, cell phones and all the technology, use some of that knowledge to get our own oil and stop depending on the Saudi''s for that.

Remember the Cheney Energy Task Force in 2001 it was supposed to develop an energy policy for the Bush administration. Well this is it. A plan for their oil buddies to get stinking rich.

Not to sound smug, i saw this coming, we all should have. On one hand i have majority of my investments in the Oil Sands companies, but on the other hand i put a lot of miles on the car for work.

renrivers...I can''t agree more. I''ve been saying the same thing for years. It baffles me that so many people can be so greedy, ignorant, selfish and arrogant to believe they would not be held accountable for raping others and the world just so long as they have what they want. I''ve often wondered how anyone would consider Bush our leader. This is a man who has no vision or even a care about the world he leaves to his own daughters - let alone to his constituents and the world. But looking closer, I see that Bush has been the perfect leader for stupid Americans. They get what they deserve, and take those of us who know better with them to hell.

"This whole thing reads like a sci-fi novel...Wonder how it will end?"

It ends when Congress stops the oil companies from gouging the life out of Americans. The republicans are to blame for putting the Bush idiot (oil man) in office. His agenda is OIL...not people.

Want cheaper gas? End the damned wars!

Yea its good for who? All the people who will be working at slave labor like they do in China? Your just like all of the other Republicans who are trying to sell a broken record and a pig in the poke. Your so blind to the truth you got to have blinders on. I wonder how much longer all of you idiots are going to think of no one but yourselves, and never once consider the consequences of the greed you all have. I wonder how many of you have ever once considered the consequences of this that will be suffered by your grandchildren and great grandchildren. I wonder how much you have thought about the elderly and the poor who can''t afford to even buy food and heating fuel, and pay for medical cost too. Go ahead and drive your big SUVs and believe that this is good for our country, but when this country is broke, and your credit cards won''t buy a roll of toilet paper any more, I wonder how good you will think it was then.

You think that your 401k and your retirement planning will save you? Well if the dollar is worthless so shall be your 401ks and your other retirement plans. You better wake up and realize that your are being sold a worthless piece of goods, because what has happened isn''t good for anyone but the upper 1% of the world population, and I seriously doubt that you are a part of it.

renrivers, the dollar has been devaluing for years. And its a good thing I tell you because when the dollar gets cheap enough the jobs will come back.

[gopsoccermom]

skyk, be quiet or everyone else will know the real problem. I perfer them to run around shreaking about peak oil.

[Renegade.Rivers]

So who do we blame for this debacle? Bush for all of his wars and rumors of war? Congress for going a long with Bush? The liberals who are keeping us from drilling in Alaska? The Fed for lowing interest rates over the last 20 years to lows that have devalued the dollar? The lack of big oil that has let them tramp all over the American people while making billions? OPEC for not drilling more wells and pumping more oil? ? China for using slave labor to make products that are then marked up hundreds of percent to be sold in the United States? The lack of controls that have allowed companies in America to become monopolies. The lack of controls that have allowed companies to move all of their operations overseas, and suffer no penalty when bringing the goods back to the USA? NAFTA and similar agreements? The peak oil theory. Global Warming? The leaders of this country who made this all possible? Or do we blame no one but ourselves, because we were so arrogant, and so uncaring that we didn''t even take the time to realize what was happening, and because of that we sold our country for a song?

[irliberal]

$130 a barrel... heh. Wow, which part of HUGE REPUBLICAN FAILURE is confusing, considering the last seven years? I''m amazed Bush isn''t in chains yet.

[Gary Kempf]

It''s simple, who wins at a $130.00 a barrel, and who loses. Our elected politicians are not concerned about the Average citizen. Example: Senator Feinstein of California is more concerned about passing amnesty for illegal immigrants tacked in to the new defense budget up for vote this week. She can''t be bothered worrying about $130.00 a barrel oil and how it may further erode a America''s working class incomes. She is a disgrace to Democrats.......

[skyk-2009]

The Week Dollar seems to be the major problem here outside the destablizing of the Middle East. Who was it that said that Deficits don''t matter???
