[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 379656, member: 9859"] The Democrats are the reason gas prices are high! Not the instability in the Middle East caused by two Bush-generated wars there…and another threatened one. It has nothing to do with our gargantuan thirst for oil, weaken dollar and the growing demand in China, India and elsewhere, or the impending decline of major oil fields in Saudi Arabia and Mexico. No! It's the Democrats fault because they won't allow drilling in the few remaining offshore areas that are not already open to drilling. We will NEVER, EVER be able to drill our way out of this mess, not with emerging economies like India and China putting a heavy burden on the demand side. We could spud new wells on every 40 acres in the entire US, on and offshore and it won’t alleviate this global issue one bit. Why? Because we already have discovered just about every drop of the world’s oil. An innovative and technologically advanced nation just might figure out some new technologies that will replace the stone age ones of burning fossil fuels to run machinery. Too bad we never listened to Jimmy Carter and too bad Al Gore was robbed of the White House, we might be singing a different tune today. The right (er.. wrong) wing mantra about environmentalism causing this and if we only could drill in ANWAR we would not have to rely on ‘foreign’ sources is literally a pipe dream, and one that is full of baseless propaganda. The only way to cure the addict is to get him OFF the drugs, not to give him more drugs. [/QUOTE]
