Facts and Lies about Lowering Oil Prices
Big Oil makes more money when prices go up and that money is nicely spread among its allies in Congress. Trusting these guys is like trusting your neighborhood pusher.

Sunday Watch 7-20-08
Imagine! Almost an entire installment of Meet the Press devoted to an interview with a private citizen who is not running for office -- who receives the attention because he...knows something.
How Obama Can Regain the Initiative on Energy
According to their results, a stunning 6 out of 10 voters now favor McCain's drilling proposal. More worrying, they note, is that voters are rejecting Obama's message of renewable fuel investment.
Bush On The Environment: Top 5 Stupidest Things Said Yesterday

All this started two years ago when the Liberals took over Congress; speculators knew there would be opposition to drilling, nuclear power, and every other so called dirty energy so it just goes hand in hand ; Liberals = high energy costs... we saw this in the Peoples Republic of Falicornia a few years ago with the electricity crisis..
You've spun that just like an expert spider. Congratulations!
Sure we are and we love the high food prices, too!
OIL SHOULD BE $55.00 A BARREL AND THE REST COMES FROM SPECULATION BY THE WEALTHY AND HEDGE FUNDS.
DON'T BE FILLED YOUR BEING ROBBED!!!!!
Hmm . . . have any reason or evidence to back that up? I would love to read up on that.
umm yeah... I meant to include this
http://www.oilcrash.com/index.htm
What you don't have investments in oil like the rest of us and expect the highest returns possible?
it's funny... until you realize that we are doing this to ourselves for no good reason whatsoever on top of SUBSIDIZING the oil industry to produce more expensive barrels of oil which in turn drives up the price on every other barrel of oil no matter where it is drilled.
On the other hand 'DON'T BE FILLED'(sic) is funny too.
This site explains the many reasons that the current price of gas is reasonable and why I laugh at the pump from my Prius :)
Can't wait until I can buy a full electric vehicle!
....or, you can look at this as a good thing.
we should have re-elected Carter..., but instead we voted in Reagan (and be we..., I don't mean me!)
but oh well..., now we're behind the 8 ball
now we need to regroup and think of creative solutions to our mess.
oh..., i know....
the answer to Peak Oil is to downsize
re-localize
build light rail
re-build cities to cater to light rail and foot traffic
maybe that'll work
oh..., plus focus more on other forms of energy besides just burning things all the time
shoot..., we've been burning things sings we first cooked a mammoth on an open pit.
it's time to actually impress me..., and move on
So basically banning things isn't enough for you as a super liberal, you need to try and control every step of someone's life?
seems to me that you just don't get the facts of life - at some point it won't BE a choice - then let's see you exercise your FREEDOM OF VACATION (some republican was claiming that this is an essential freedom on the House floor the other night) without jet fuel.
