Drill baby drill, where, and for how long? Let me hear that. Also, about the environmental costs as it will be handed down to future generations.
As for refineries, I think it will be a great idea to open more... right in redneck neighborhoods. They will have a job after all. Now only if we can also find ways to limit the pollutants.
Well, if we can't drill for long then the environmental costs will be low, you can't have it both ways.
This is part of the Obama plan to push green energy (which is costly as hell) by raising the cost of energy through the roof.
The guy is a ding dong, had no clue that it also will destroy much of business and jobs in the process.
Are you one of those who was blaming Bush for having doubled and (then) quadrupled the price of gasoline during his tenures?

How did you arrive at that conclusion? For example, how long did it take the Niger delta to be destroyed? But more importantly, answer the original question, for how long?
We are near $5 now in some places in California.
One station a couple of blocks near me is at $5.
My water company just sent me a letter saying they want to increase prices 35%.
My wife's insurance since Obama came to office with Obama-care went from $365 a month to $700.
Our old Governor Gray Davis gave away the farm on electricity and already has us paying 400% over national averages for energy.
Gas is going up.
Obama wants to double (over 50% tax) the death tax on the already taxed estate you might want to pass on to your children, wife, husband or others.
All part of the Obama plan my friend.
The ONE, how is that hope and change thingy working for us? For me and anyone making a Penney I think it sucks.
Only the far left, welfare types and UNION government employees love him for all the transfers of wealth to them.
Obama told us energy prices would be need to be painfully high and still he was voted in.
The pieces fall into place with the middle east on fire, the ban on gulf drilling despite other countries drilling there. the push to ethanol, subject to the vagaries of the weather and competing with food prices and the cost of the delivery of food, can only be a plan rather than happenstance.
The consequences of such folly were clear. the question is why?
5$ gasoline fits right into the plan Obama's handlers have him preach.
You could make a temporary dent in prices, but that's a pretty shortsighted plan.
If we are not dependent on outside oil or their political games, domestic oil would most certainly keep the prices down.
