I have an even better one Stoners. A few days ago I stopped to fill up, the station I stopped at was 2.95 a gallon, as I walked to the pump I noticed a station across the (very busy) street about half a block south of where I was, gas there was 2.76. So I decided to go there, I pulled out, going north since there was too much traffic to make a left, so I figured I'd just go around the block to get back to the cheaper station.. by the time I had gone around the block the price down the street had changed from 2.76 to 2.95, just like the station I had just left, and as I said, that in the time it took me drive around the block.

I just paid $3.28/gallon for REGULAR at one of the cheaper gas stations in San Diego. I think it's time to get a moped.

David, do you really think that the general public is that stupid? When you blame this on everyone but the Bush administration, does it ever occur to you that the gop controlled the house, senate, whitehouse and supreme court for the first 6 years of Bush's presidency?
If the dems are causing the high prices, please tell me why it was so cheap during the Clinton administration?

What I find so interesting about the anti-drilling forces when it comes to Anwar is that the Canadian government is pump money to support the anti anwar drilling forces. But just east of anwar is CANADA and guess what they are doing? DRILLING for oil. And if you know anything about oilfields, it is that the fields don't know about boundaries. So the oil on the US side of the border is being pumped out on the Canadian side. So the Canadians are working to block the drilling of Anwar, so they can steal the oil by pumping it out their side.

Reindeer are more important to me than the fat cat elite in America despoiling Anwar. Even with that oil it is not even a dent into consumption. Personally I would feel better seeing the Bush Administration and other Republicans, bankers, wall street crooks etc. on bikes. I would smile with glee.
In conclusion, not a valid argument.

It's the commodities market that's driving the price of oil. Traders are buying and selling contracts on future prices of a commodity that they never physically take delivery of. They make the big bucks and we foot the bill.
This administration has done it's part to drive up the price of oil by buying large amounts of oil for the strategic oil reserves, this is another factor for the higher prices.

Here is the exact guote you were looking for DH and the context in which it was used.
"Petroleum is a noble material, much too valuable to burn... We envision producing, as soon as possible, 23 000 megawatts of electricity using nuclear plants." Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
"President Gerald Ford signed a directive in 1976 offering Tehran the chance to buy and operate a U.S.-built reprocessing facility for extracting plutonium from nuclear reactor fuel. The deal was for a complete 'nuclear fuel cycle'." At the time, Richard Cheney was the White House Chief of Staff, and Donald Rumsfeld was the Secretary of Defense. The Ford strategy paper said the "introduction of nuclear power will both provide for the growing needs of Iran's economy and free remaining oil reserves for export or conversion to petrochemicals."
I guess this was the beginning of Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Good to see people investing in Alternate energy companies instead of investing in oil companies.

Probably nothing unless there is an announcement of another "supply disruption". Then the prices will go up like they have been.

I would not put anything past them now, this is profit without conscience and without civic duty and responsibility. Absolute greed corrupting absolutely, and the majority pay the price for it.

I saw Jim Cramer last night on MSNBC. He is the wild finacial guy that is usually on CNBC. He is hardly a liberal but the guy is da-n smart about financial issues. He says that if we don't go to nuclear or some other major power source quickly that because of the rise of the Far East and Third World economies, he believes if we continue to rely on petroleum that within 5 years we will be paying somewhere between $10-15 a gallon because of supply and demand. And that is without a blowup in the Middle East or an attack on Iran. Think about how that would affect your wallet. Especially if you have a long commute. Would that collapse the American economy? Would certainly create some significant strain.
