You Are Now Entering the Unsafe Zone of Personal Attacks -- Which Means, Fire Away With Your Insults
New Orleans is a great place to go to. Very anti-republian place. Too bad, it is in red state. I remmy the Chaos Knight's march, one with "The Face of Evil!" where a head of Bush is on front of the float, with missile coming out of his nose, and quote on the side that read, "War is good for Body Bag Business!"
oil drilling in the gulf is halted during hurricanes. OIL companies remove all staff and shut down non-essential things on the Rigs. Without pumping oil up and having it sent to refineries, it causes a problem in the supply/demand area.
should that be the only reason why gas will go up? No, but when production is limited, it will affect pricing.
We need to go drill the hell out of alaska so that prices will go down.
Matt, you're ridiculous. Drilling the oil in Alaska will not make the oil prices go down!
It only will provide the profits. It will only harm the Caribou Deer's migration -- you see, the drilling does not mean it will drill a hole -- it will canvass the acres and MINE it out because the oil itself is pretty much frozen there. That's what Canada does in its Territories. Even Canada said it was not good idea to mine oil in these areas.
But the point is that when I grew up, I remembered hurricanes hitting Florida, Louisiana, NOrth Carolina, South CArolina and Virginia -- not a cent was gained in the gas prices.
Why it now? Because we are all gullible to let the oil companies to pinpoint the blames on anything else!
Even the upcoming winter season is coming, the oil prices will go up because the oil companies said that the winter is to be blamed upon.
Then in the springtime, the change of seasons will be blamed for oil prices rising.
So on.
Don't make an excuse, please.

im just stating a fact that oil production in the gulf of mexico, during a hurricane that threatens those areas, is halted. I am not defending the oil companies nor the price increases. I am just stating that production is halted, which will in return, lead to higher prices. Nothing more nothing less.
matt drudge, and I'm stating the fact that when hurricanes hits the region in late 1980s, no gas prices had increased at all!
Right now, anything happened, the gas prices increased! It is an excuse after an excuse. Don't you get it? Or are you that young to notice something amiss?

I don't think Alaskan oil is frozen. After all, they got the pipeline running from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez. The oil comes out of the ground, really hot. I think something like 150 degrees Fahrenheit, and along the way in the pipeline, it cools down to 70 degrees before entering the tankers in Valdez. I should know, because Jon, my brother, went on a road trip all the way up to the Arctic Ocean a few weeks ago, on the John B. Dalton Highway, a gravel highway . Thanks to the oil companies like Halliburton, we are able to drive from Washington, DC to the Arctic Ocean to go skinny dipping.
By the way, the oil that Canada mines is clayish. it is like coal, shoveled right out of the ground in open pit mines. Alaskan oil is deep under the tundra. it is not all ice where they drill in Alaska.
Drill Alaska or invade Iran and set off World War IV? Apparently it's a tough choice for some people, those who are both fiercely antiwar pacifists and environmentalist militants.
Lest us not forget that Bush is an oilman. He is laughing all the way to the bank. 'Seems like everything that happens "has an effect" on oil prices. Wake up and smell the b.s!
or just get it over with and assassinate Hugo Chavez. We wouldn't need to invade Venezuela for their oil when the day comes when Hugo decides to impose an oil embargo upon America, in solidarity with Iran's terrorist president, Mahmoud Ahmadinjead.
Go, Pat Robertson!! Go, go! Send some suicidal Christian terrorists to crash planes into Venezuela's presidential palace. Ha! That will never happen.
You never know with the Muslims. They are a whole different story.
i m not sure how much corporate (oil) responsbility actually exists. When the Soviets pulled up their stakes in Central Asia, they pretty much abandoned the oil rigs and maintennace. the locals weren't trained to maintain them thus leading to further pollution of the capsian sea.
unfortunately the lot of us are dependent on oil and not sufficiently educated (don't own a car myself so..) on alternatives like hybrid cars, fuel efficient thingamigs.. are they more expensive? I read somewhere that there s a recent discovery of a huge oil (or natural gas?) deposit near Jackson Hole, Wyoming which is more accessible than ANWAR in a sense.. If the government is not providing us with alternative resources they better be damn sure to make companies accountable to clean the mess up and do minimal stripping etc.
Hey Ridor,
Guess what! We just heard that we are having 43 cents raise on our gas price! Effective this afternoon making our gas go up to at least 3.19 a gal.. OH WELL!!
