When People ask Him about more Oil Drilling off the Coast and Nuclear Power etc He keeps saying * It wont affect the Price of Gas / Energy for 5 or 10 YearsIs He Stupid or What ? Does he not know People will still be using Gasoline in 5 Years ? If Bill Clinton had Not VETOED Oil Drilling in Anwar where it is 70 Below Zero Year Round and None EVER goes We would have Gas at $1.00 a Gallon right now. Is Obama that Short Sighted that He does not know this $5.00 a GALLON paying for Gas is making EVERYONE who drives Mad ? And We want them to Drill for Oil EVERYWHERE And have More Oil Refineries and Nuke Power plants and Coal Plants and Windmills and Solar and anything we can get Oh by the way I think He wants the Oil Companies to Shut Down the Oil Refineries they ALLREADY have and stop Drilling for Oil and Turn Off the gas Pumps That is what you will get with Obama if He Wins You will be back on Your Feet Walking

Does he not know People will still be using Gasoline in 5 Years ? But the point is it won't help your gas prices NOW - which is what people want - frankly, it won't help them THEN either, but most people don't seem to realize that. If Bill Clinton had Not VETOED Oil Drilling in Anwar where it is 70 Below Zero Year Round and None EVER goes We would have Gas at $1.00 a Gallon right now. Ummm... No. It wouldn't. AND it wouldn't have been a good choice to do - which is why Bush hasn't agreed to it either. Is Bush stupid too? Is Obama that Short Sighted that He does not know this $5.00 a GALLON paying for Gas is making EVERYONE who drives Mad ? And We want them to Drill for Oil EVERYWHERE Realizing it is making everyone mad and having some quick fix are very different things. and NO, we DON'T -ALL- want them to drill for oil EVERYWHERE. Some of us realize to do so would be short-sighted and solve nothing. And have More Oil Refineries and Nuke Power plants and Coal Plants and Windmills and Solar and anything we can get Different people want different things... I am all for the windmills and solar, and some other new tcchnologies too (like if those oil making things you keep talking about could be made to work efficiently) No leader can offer a quick fix. No leader can satisfy everyone. We don't all want the same things. I think He wants the Oil Companies to Shut Down the Oil Refineries they ALLREADY have and stop Drilling for Oil and Turn Off the gas Pumps That is what you will get with Obama if He Wins That is just building it up pretty ridiculously, don't you think? Because he doesn't approve of drilling EVERY other president - regardless of political party - has disapproved of as well, suddenly he wants to be radically ridiculous? That exaggeration ends up losing your argument for you, freckles... You will be back on Your Feet Walking And frankly most of us - myself included - could do with a bit more of that!

That is what you will get with Obama if He Wins You will be back on Your Feet Walking GOOD. Americans are far too dependent on automobiles. we've also been spoiled with low gas prices (compared with much of the world), and actually still are quite low compared with other western countries: www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/international/gas1.html

Gas/Energy
Here are the Choices
1. Drill for More Oil/Nuclear Plants/Conserve More/Invent etc
OR
2. Get Rid of 1/2 the People using Energy
OR
3. Be Energy Starved and 2/3 the People Die from Heat Stroke/Freezing/Starvation/etc
I Vote for Number 1.

I think that many people have cut back on their gas usage because of the increased prices and that is good for our planet (not good for the economy).
I just hope they come up with some public transpo here in rural TN. I will so use it for going to the store and such.

We have a bus system here, but everything routes through downtown, so it can take an exceedingly long time to get anywhere... I might start taking it this summer, though, to get to work. With Harry home with the girls, they can get me if I need to get anywhere fast.

There is not a bus system or anything here. I also work 14 miles from home in a different town.
