Russia and Iran are forming a natural gas cartel with Qatar similar to OPEC. Why wont Obama and the democrats drill for energy NOW. The rest of the world is forging ahead with economic control of the world and America takes a pause??? What is the Obama plan for America? Why does he want us victims of other countries. Wake up Nevada. These people will drive energy back up in months.

Of for god's sakes - go to Senator Obama's website and read the comprehensive energy plan that he has put together. The "democrats" are not the problem with energy and even conservative republican T. Boone Pickens says "we can't drill our way out of this". Notice that they are forming a "natural gas cartel" - not an oil cartel. Just a little research goes a long way. It is the fact that the republicans are in the best pockets of big oil that you ought to be yelling about. That is what got us here.

Dear Neiman 1, The election has yet to be held. I have always appreciated the comments of the Govenator of California when he pointed out that Ronald Reagan killed the progressive energy policies of Jimmy "smiles" Carter and because of that we are light years behind in our energy independence. Even if we drill everyplace we will only have a slight effect on our consumption. If everyone on the open road slows down 5 to 10 miles per hour ig will cut 15 per cent or so from our consumption. Maybe if people would set a windmill in front of their rapidly moving lips we could save a bunch. We have an abundance of natural gas and cars can be adapted to run on that. Get going all you blamers and solve this!

Russia and Iran are forming a pact because the United States and Iran hate each other. In fact, much of the world hates us now. You can thank King Bush for that.

If we drill now, we'll see that oil in about 10 years, by which time we will all be driving electric/hydrogen/solar powered cars.

This must have been the Rushian topic today, ha neiman1? I can't believe this is still a topic for you guys. What a waste of time.

Dear Neiman - hey I remember when I was younger guys like you belonged to a group called the John Birch Society and there was a coloring book making fun of the group and one of its best quotes was "Advance to the Rear" -- ok, maybe we should form an interest group to run ads with the McPalin and Cain motto - "Advance to the Rear!"

Before Bush, everyone loved us.

On Jan 2001, everybody hated us because Bush came into office.

Nobody ever bombed the World Trade Center before 9/11/2001 because everyone loved us.

Noboby ever took our embassy staff hostage before 9/11/2001 because everyone loved us.

Nobody ever bombed a US naval vessel before 9/11/2001 because everyone loved us.

Nobody ever bombed a US barracks full of soliders (happen twice) before 9/11/2001 because everyone loved us.

Nobody ever shoot down and killed US soliders in Somalia before 9/11/2001 because everyone loved us.

Nobody ever bombed a US embassy before 9/11/2001 because everyone loved us.

Nobody ever tried to sneak terrorists into our country to take flight lessons before Jan 2001 before 9/11/2001 because everyone loved us.

All we got from the world was LOVE, LOVE, LOVE before Bush came into office.

Clinton did an excellent job at generating that LOVE, LOVE, LOVE from the world.

Why? When Palin was just here? She's always good for converts to the Dems.

There is currently 10 BILLION gallons of oil off the coast of California from Camp pendleton. Rigs were already built PRIOR to a memorium passing not allowing them to drill ten miles out. These stations alone could drive down the cost of OIl due to speculation! The tax revenue could further go a long way towards getting California out of Debt and borrowing from the Govt. There are another 45 BILLION gallons off the florida and Texas coasts within this ten mile range which would further drop cost and increase supply. THIS would provide Leighway to transition into the CNG plan and Alternative Fuels the T. Boone Pickens Spoke of. Had Pelosi and her crew not gone on a series of 5 week vacations two years ago it would now be pumping oil!
