Gotta love OPEC and the Speculators. Drill now and promote clean technologies like thorium now. Too good a plan i suppose.
I Love Higher Gas Prices.. Loving it..

HIGHER GAS PRICES = LESS TRAFFIC JAM!!!!
ILLEGALS

Blame it on US Government. They allow BP & foreign oil tycoons to drill offshore while selling that oil back to US consumers.

US Government rather Fund ILLEGALS & Welfare system instead of investing that waste on oil drilling technologies.

Why do we have to pay BP & foreign oil companies when we can do it ourselves?
ILLEGALS

Yeah, keep funding those ILLEGALS & WELFARE, eventually more government layoffs such as the ones like Costa Mesa & other cities in the near future.

If Americans just sit on their heads, eventually there won’t be Social Security or Pensions left once we retire.

MB man

Can someone please explain why gas prices are far higher today when the price per barrel is at $100 per then it was about 1.5 years ago when the price per barell was $147 per?
