Hi Bruce. That’s a given! When building a chain, begin with the first link – then to complete the chain, other links must be formed. Regards

Yes, I agree Drill Here/Drill Now! But keep in mind it is not just the drilling. It is also bringing the product to the market. The oil companies must build new and better refineries and upgrade the current ones. The number of refineries has dropped from over 300 to just over 150. It is not enough to just DRILL. The oil companies have to ante up from the huge profits they have enjoyed recently and rebuild our refineries. A surplus needs to be created to drive the prices down. Just drilling will not motivate the oil companies to refine the crude and create the surplus. We need to take it one more step and make sure the oil companies can and will refine it.

Drill for as much oil as we need to maintain this country and the world. Next on the agenda is the Fairtax

We have had functioning solar cars since the 1990s. I can see how offshore drilling and drilling in national wildlife refuges can be seen as good in terms of lowering fuel prices, but what is more important is to break our dependency on big corporations. I work for the lowest of wages and know better than most the need for lower energy prices, but not lower oil prices. Oil is not the only source of energy in the world. It pains me to see my fellow Americans so dependent on resources that are controlled by people both domestic and foreign that have no care for their well-being. The finger is being pointed by people who practically own us, and if we can’t stand up for ourselves and think for ourselves, then we are to die the deaths of defeated men who live only as subordinates to those just as human as us who simply own more land. If you think the people being painted as criminals are any worse than the people at home you are sadly mistaken.

We have got to get off foriegn oil for our own national security. The people in the middle east hate our way of life, why should we support their way of life.

Nancy(Eva Braun)Pelosi is actually trying to stop the importation of oil extracted from Tar Sands from Canada. I guess she figures it’s better to send the money to country’s trying to kill us !

It only makes sense to keep our money at home and to be dependent on no foreign entity. Get the congress to act or replace them.

We have got to start drilling on our own shores and not depending on other countries for our petroleum. We are going to need petroleum far into the future, even with alternative energy sources up and online. We also need have ourselves set to give us time to get the alternative sources up and running.
