Comments on: Oil, Gas Hit New Highs

Oil Tops $143 A Barrel For First Time; Average Gas Price At $4.086

At this point it really does not matter who is to blame for the high gas prices. What does matter is how to solve the problem. Short term there does not appear to be any real viable solutions. Long term there are and the US along with other gasoline guzzling nations around the world need to look at them.

Alternative fuels that already exsist need to be promoted in a big way. Public transportaion in large cities nees to be created or expanded. Right now demand for gasoline needs to continue to drop. It may create some inconvieniences but for now it is all the power we as members of the public have to reduce gas prices.

[You are right. The voice with the most money should always win out. Money should dictate perception and in tern everything. If we no longer have a free press, we are no longer a free people.]

so it''s a free press via the one w/ the most money? what if the one w/ the most money didn''t like freedom ... and did everything to ensure a single voice ... that of ''non-freedom''?

maybe we should allow unlimited campaign donations ... so the one w/ the most money can influence the most ... so that freedom of speech is tied directly to how much money you have.

You can blame Republicans and the oil companies instead of your decision to own two gas guzzlers and China''s and other''s growing consuption. It''s a free country.

Now the question is, is our government allowing gas prices to remain high (via a do nothing congress) so the economy can be stimulated via the production and purchase of more fuel efficient cars? In other words, make you buy another car to save on gas costs. They did this with that HD TV by encouraging most to but new TVs. And they sent "stimulous" checks to most. A good US economy is mostly consumers buying stuff.

Go back to your republican website idiot.

Republicans value Americans over caribou. In fact, Americans value Americans over caribou. Are the Dems still Americans?

[atheismwins]

It''s 3am, and Barack is hugging a tree! LOL.

[oneworldusa]

LOL....Geez, Exxon''s sponsoring nearly every single article but of COURSE not the ones about record high gas prices...what a sham.

[atheismwins]

Not one single fuel outlet has closed in the entire worls due to lack of fuel.
No, supply shortage is not the answer. Sorry.

What kind of news are they peddlin over here at CBS? Do you know how many barrels of oil the world demands daily? And how much it supplies?

[tawpdawg11]

These "SPECULATORS" are gambling away the American way of life.

These "speculators" see the supply and demand problem. The Dems don''''t want Americans to think about realities such as supply and demand. They want to create villians so they can get elected.

Well, that knife cuts both ways. A Dem blocking new supply is WIDE OPEN to ripping attacks. I guess Dems don''''t want more jobs right here in America. Dems first, Americans maybe 10th or 11th.

Gotta take care of the caribou before Americans, you see. And the trees. And then some more critters.

USA demand steadily falling in the face of rising prices.
No, demand not the problem, either. Sorry.



The very same ENRON loophole that was slipped into a bill in the middle of the night by GOP''s own Graham and was the cause of 400% increase in electric rates in California as well as rolling blackouts is now making energy traders rich at the expense of ALL Americans via the gas pump.

Gambling on oil prices by greedy "SPECULATORS".......
THAT, my friend, IS THE PROBLEM!
Sorry.

This is just a smokescreen to distract from the real issue of obscene petro-profits and petro-influence in the government.

Well, tell the Dems to stop blocking new supply! That will lower prices. Coca-Cola has a higher profit margin than oil companies.

We don''t need Communistic environmental extremism. We need more energy and more jobs. And less Dems.

Tell the Dems to start acting like Americans.

"land they want to drill is ... is a wasteland, and there is no threat to anything other than ground. It is barren in winter and almost as barren in summer."

not at all a wasteland. it serves a purpose in this reserve. just because it is empty or barren does not mean it is not valuable. In fact, the barrenness is itself a feature that would be ruined by drilling.

And for what? no benefit. This is just a smokescreen to distract from the real issue of obscene petro-profits and petro-influence in the government.

SistaTee: Will never see those prices ever again. The day of cheap oil is over.

If we could get gas down to $2. a gallon, I''d go feed the polar bears and wipe their -sses after they take a dump.
