Stop using plastic since the chemicals to make it come from a barrel of oil. Stop taking medicines since some of the chemicals used to make it come from oil. Stop eating preserved foods since the chemicals to preserve it come from a barrel of oil. Stop your wife from smelling good with her perfume since perfumes are made from chemicals that come from a barrel of oil. Stop using insecticides since the come indirectly from a barrel of oil.

The list continues so I guess if you want the price to go down we should all buy horses and let them feed in pastures where we don't fertilize or use pesticides. We could collect the manure and let it dry and use it for fertilizer or even burn it for fuel in the winter.

Sarge did pass the time by typing:

If you think gas is expensive, try feed and livery charges for a horse, vet bills, grooming, and the annoying requirement in some citys to pick up after your animals. (that's one BIG baggie). :)

I'll take a vespa.

Explain to us how buying 10 gallons of gas every 5 days will create less demand than buying 2 gallons every day. Why don't we all stop buying gas on Mondays? That'll kill demand won't it? Give me a break...

I'll gladly pay whatever it takes to drive my gas guzzler 75 mph. You can drive your hybrid whatever speed you want, but I say f*ck driving 55 mph.

We don't have an oil, or gas shortage. We have a critical shortage of refineries. Thank the EPA for that...

Please explain: If I'm burning 20 gal/week, how does buying 20 gallons once a week instead of 5 gallons a day reduce demand.

You would think that having a Texas oilman in the whitehouse would be a good start. At least he helped to undo some of the crazy wilderness land that Clinton stuck is with that prevented us to have access to some old jeep roads.

As long as the production cost for crude in Alberta is $32 a barrel I'll keep whining! At $65 a barrel thats over %100 profit. It's criminal if you ask me.

Poe, Whining lauder and lauder every day

Pure unadulterated crap!

There is no solution...none of us are going to get out of this alive! So have you the balls to take that?

Bill,

I am not sure which problem this is intended to solve. For me, the problem is to assure a continued supply of petroleum and petroleum products, until some whiz kid figures out how to make pure 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, out of sh*t. If we want to do that, it is necessary to preserve what petroleum we have, for a while at least. Opening up the tap isn't going to accomplish that.

I thought that conservatives, were supposed to "conserve" stuff. I may be confused.
