Bush knew that there was oil beneath us and he allowed for getting it out of the ground. Obastard wants us to buy electric cars.
Ge will benifit greatly by the electric car thing. They also pay no taxes. Msnbc is owned by ge. In return for the landfall profits of the Obama clean energy programs that benifit ge greatly, msnbc has become a propaganda agent for this administration and the progressive cause in general.
Obama is smarter than Bush. Prices are a pure supply and demand issue with neither president being able to do much about it. But smart perople realize that the oil is running out. Instead of pumping it all out faster, we need to conserve what we have and turn to alternative energies. One day soon gas will be at $10-20 a gallon and every single one of us will own hybrids and electric cars. Obama is smarter than Bush and is looking ahead, not behind.
A wise puppet once said "Hard to see the future is." Obama should follow the advice of Qui Gon-Jinn and focus on the moment. Part of being a visionary is knowing where you are today, and building what is needed to get where you are going. Obama's "energy policy" does not incorporate our current needs and capabilities.
The Louisiana average for gas hit the $2.00 mark in March of 2005. Our first $3.00 scare came in July of '06, when it hit $2.90. After that we had a steady decline that bottomed out at $2.05 at the end of January, 2007. Then it took off again, and we hit the $3.00 mark in May, same year. Our first $4.00 gas came in July of '08. Then came a free fall that hit a rock bottom of $1.59 just before Christmas of '08. By Christmas of '09 we were at $2.49, and have not been below $2.50 since.
i rarely agree with you, but when you bring Qui Gon-Jinn into the mix, I find it hard to disagree, and I didn't even read past his name.
Crock of bs from start to finish. Gas prices have more than doubled since December of 2008. Has the demand doubled? I don't think so. This conservation effort you speak of will only spike the price higher. In that case, your prediction of $10-20 a gallon soon might be correct. But where will all of these hybrids and electric cars come from? The auto industry is nowhere near ready to produce these vehicles at a rate, and in the variety, that people will demand in your scenario. The fuel distribution infrastructure necessary to service the new cars won't be there anytime soon, either. This is not a simple supply and demand issue. Obama is attempting to manipulate us into the scenario you envision. And he's going to ruin a lot of people in this country in order to achieve it.
Boy. That hit the nail on the head. Obama is inexperienced and unbelievably naive. He listens to the wrong people and his policies are going to be the death of our country as we know it, unless we get his ass out of there ASAP.i
