Oil Prices Set New record Again Today

[Alan®]

I don't believe the environmentalist are to blame, drilling in Alaska is a short term fixer and I don't believe the u.s. should drill up there until they put a real effort into finding a clean energy source and/or a renewable energy source. so until the u.s. actually spends money on that research I will still support those tree huggers

So you're telling me that environmentalists stopping drilling of KNOWN sources of oil which would create a drop in the price of gas shouldn't be blamed even a little bit? Yes we should be looking for alternative sources of fuel but your telling me that because the government isn't looking for an alternative source of energy to your satisfaction that a small group of people should be allowed to continue keeping the supply of oil down and the prices up causing more ecconomic burden in an already bad ecconomy? That is probably one of the more ridiculous things I have ever seen you post.

Ridiculous??? Did u read what I wrote, until the gov't actually spend money on alternative research, I will not support drilling in Alaska. Thats not asking a lot, just put a small amount of money in a program that could actually do this world some good and you will have my support to drill up there until the alternative fuel source is able to be produced. If drilling starts up there with no real planning when it comes to long term energy plans, we will be back in the same situation down the road when the rest of the world becomes more developed

Yes I read what you wrote but you know what I highly doubt that the government will find an effective, efficient, and cost effective new energy source. $20 says that the private sector finds it.

We wouldn't see the results of drilling in ANWR for say.. at least 10 years, it is not a short term fix by any means.

I take it a bit personal since I grew up in Alaska.. its one of the few places that is untapped and far from industrialized and I think it should remain that way. (For now) Then you got **** that happened like the Exxon Oil Spill and that only validates the points that environmentalists make.

with money anything can be reached

The U.S. could put a shi.t load of solar panels out in the dessert (said by many) and that method alone will do a lot of good for energy prices. But will have to rebuild our already failing electricity infrastructure across the u.s.

Theres is almost no profit margin in gasoline for the stations. thats why we're so focused on getting you inside and buying stuff

I understand this, but it will ease ppl minds like redgt that the country finally drilled up there.

If it ever happens I suggest anyone who wants to make a quick buck will need to move to Alaska. $40 an hour would probably be average wages for that industry not to mention Alaska pays its residents a dividend based on state revenues.. with that kind of investment you would see a very nice check every september just by being a resident.

Its not going happen though (especially with a democratic president coming and a 70% majority in the house and senate) and it would be a waste of time anyway.
