I could blame democrats all day for high gas prices...
You have made it policy to be anti-drilling and anti-refining....
We could drill our own oil and be self sustained for 100 years.
Of course if we did that it wouldn't matter because the government would come in and tax the fuck out of oil to the tune of 4.00 a gallon.
Of course progressives would rather have us buy oil from terrorists....
Nick, 98% of the world's oil reserves are in the hands of other countries. I don't think any realistic amount of domestic drilling is going to significantly affect the world's market price for oil.
Also, lets say everyone agreed to start drilling and all restrictions were removed, ect, do you realize we're looking at a good 5-7 years before we start seeing any impact on the market? Do you realize that it's going to be very expensive to setup the infrastructure to a pipeline, and that we have the potential to spill, leak, and that too will be very expensive. All of those costs will need get factored into any savings you may speculate to save at some distant point in the future.
I love how you just make shit up..........
The US sits on about 15% of all oil and we have barely touched it...
It wouldn't take 5-7 years, it would take about 2...
Gas in Venezuela is like .30 cents a gallon - which in US bucks would be around .07 cents a gallon.
