The cure for high prices is high prices.

The cure for high prices is high prices.

As well as supply.

Too bad that your Democrat cohorts wish to strangle supply.

“We can’t drill our way out of this”, just like we can’t eat our way out of starvation.

For reference, the EIA reports that gasoline usage is indeed down, though apparently more than one reporter couldn’t be bothered to read a table.

And gosh, you mean the price goes down when demand goes down?  Really?

And thanks again, environmentalists and Democrats, for making sure that we can get our fuel from halfway around the world instead of from home.  It’s really environmentally sound to be fueling (pun intended) terrorist movements around the world by refusing to allow development of our own resources.

Right above this comment form, Adsense is running this ad.

How about NONE OF THE ABOVE?!

The Bush Administration estimates that expanded offshore drilling could increase oil production by 200,000 bbl. per day by 2030. We use about 20 million bbl. per day,

That’s a long time to wait for a fill up.

Ironic that the price drop came at the same time that Republicans got serious about domestic drilling.

It’s all political bullshit. Liberals (and Robert108) lie and spin and twist and obscure and distract and cheat to protect their guys and hurt the opposing team. It’s like wrestling. They distract the ref while their team mate hits you with a chair. There’s no rule they won’t break, no law they won’t skirt, no crime they won’t forgive as long as they can win.

These people who continue to whine about how “Long” it will take to get any benefit from drilling(20 years, etc.), then how “small” the benefit will be; need to open their eyes.  Merely the discussion of Drilling alone, is curbing Speculation Immediately. Yes, Immediately!! “Immediate ” relief is what we’re getting.. What’s this 20 year crap..
And, after they open thier eyes, allow me to add, “Shut your Mouth”! Yes. ShutUp! You are the “Reason”, nothing ever gets done with your constant, whining debate in a time of National Security for the U.S.
We need to drive the Stake throught the Heart of foreign Energy dependence. That means doing “Everything”.
New and Reusable sources.
Nuclear.
Drilling.
All of it.

The changing of habits to decrease use because of high prices is called “price destruction” and it isn’t causing the economic downturn. The economic downturn is cause more by the effect of subprime loans, the housing bubble breaking and decreased lending liquidity.

You can tell by tracking the market as the price of fuel rose from $20 in 2000. The market was fine until housing started the slide.

Uranium 238?

Heh, U235 is the fun stuff.
