Your right....
And actually, each of the big three oil companies stated they would have oil flowing within 3 years. The 20 year drama statement is a tool of the liberals to try and scare people away from supporting drilling. 20 years is absolutely false.
I absolutely agree that we should use the resources that are right here in our own country instead of being forced to buy oil from middle-eastern countries because of tree-hugging objection to our country being energy independent.
I absolutely agree that we should develop our own energy infrastructure that employees american citizens instead of providing employment for foreign governments and corporations.
I absolutely agree that we should buy our oil from oil company operations right here in our own country. That would help stop the greatest transfer of american wealth in history (american money going to foreign governments).
So, if you don't support drilling for more oil, don't complain about the gas prices. I have yet to hear anyone, including the left-wing radical environmentalists, propose an energy alternative THAT IS ALREADY AVAILABLE AND AFFORDABLE BY ALL. Not everyone can afford, or wants one of the rollerskate lookin' hybrids that are on the market. They are already overpriced for what you get. I would pay for $10.00 a gallon gas before I would drive a hybrid. I can afford because I live within my means. If I had the choice between spending my $22,000 on an H3 or $22,000 on a hybrid. I would get the H3 without even pondering the options.
If people can't handle the fluctuation of the price of gas, it is because they don't manage their money to begin with.
I'm done now......Sorry for that. No disrespect meant of implied toward anyone. Just voicing my two cents.
