    “pristine wilderness” It’s a frozen trundra and the area they want to drill in 2000 out of 19 million akers!

    so the president and his g.o.p. want americans to be greater gas junkies by damaging pristine wilderness and coastal areas. so the pres. and the republicans are CONSERVATIVE on any and everything but energy usage.

    my family and i …
    my family and i have been concerned about the high price of gas for several years. not to mention the cost of insurance and upkeep. we decided to ride bike. we have been without a car for over a year. and we like it a lot, while saving thousands of dollars a year.

    electric cars have been around for over 100 years. we do not need oil. however, oil companies would like to continue to sell it.

    and you’ve made it quite obvious with your callow comments that you’re certainly not he to impress me nor anyone else…haha

  5. flip9388 Says:

    i realize that the …
    i realize that the single person i originally commented to has nothing to do with the price of gas. However when that same person’s misguided thoughts and ideals become common with millions of americans and politicians…..well that’s why we’re gonna be paying $7 per gallon at least by 2011.
    and why do you speak derogatively about the fact someone is “getting ahead in life”?
    and what do you mean the “real” is going to bite me in the ass?

    haha there you go with the ignorant assumptions again
    careful with those

    Read on flip:
    Yes …

    Read on flip:
    Yes you are a stranger, but you called this out with your insipid remark:
    “it’s b/c of like you that we’re payign out the for oil”
    How does an educated person even type that kind of misinformed statement?
    Going to college getting a degee just shows youre getting ahead.But wait till the real bites you in the ass.
    Admit the fact that person you insulted has nothing to do with the price of oil.
    You forget they said the war would pay for itself in oil revenue.

  8. DVincentW Says:

    I am glad you are …
    I am glad you are not impressed because you are on the axe.

    I am not here to impress the likes of you.
    Go worship yourself.

    So you just keep on …
    So you just keep on complaining about how youtube is deleting your “original” music vids, and your tenuous attempts at philosophy in your channel profile, and lets not forget your thriving musical career with a label that i’ve never heard of nor could find any info of anywhere on the world wide web……AND…..I’ll keep doing what i do.

    haha
    insecure much?
    must you really bring up and insult the ability and IQ of a complete stranger on youtube?
    I could sit here and explain to you how all but one of my vids were recorded years ago when i began playing, or how I’m receiving my MBA from UGA in the fall, or how i even spent a year doing studio work in nashville for a living….But none of that would matter to you b/c you’re the kinda guy that prefers ignorant assumption to truth.

    I don’t mind if you idiots in California pay ten bucks a gallon for your gas… or wait wait for a breeze so you can turn your lights on… or sit in traffic waiting for your battery cells to recharge… the rest of us (that’s about 60% of the nation) want to be able to feed our kids and put a roof over our heads. Defy the No Drill Democrates! DRILL HERE DRILL NOW>>>

  12. danielopusone Says:

    There’s not enough …
    There’s not enough of ANY alternative energy source to replace the energy supplied currently by oil!

    Cuba, France, England, Spain, and Canada are exploring the Florida straits for oil RIGHT NOW!

    Is the U.S. doing anything about it? No, we’re wringing our hands and whining about the price of gasoline.

    Many foreign countries are in the Florida straits; dig for information and you will find these facts in news and legitimate referece materials. Defy the NO Drill Democrats!

  13. DVincentW Says:

    Oh well then lets …
    Oh well then lets drop the price and kill everyone you think is wrong.
    The war(s) have nothing to do with the price huh?
    Flip9388 dont quit your day job, you really leave much to be desired on your 3 thousand dollar Les Paul.
    Goes to show you single digit IQ cromagnons should stay the away from music.

  18. Srhandel Says:

    We should dump some …
    We should dump some of the oil in the Strategic Oil Reserve on the open market to flood the market. Then the speculators would have an oversupply of oil on their hands and the price would hopefully drop. Also, if the media would report that the US is drilling in ANWR and offshore, this announcement in the financial news would put a damper on the speculation mkts. I live in the tri-state region of NY/NJ/CT so we have mass transit options, not everyone in the country has a mass transit option.

  19. evildemocrat Says:

    Do you honestly …
    Do you honestly believe that the prices right now are due to a shortage of crude oil. It’s due to the shortage of refined oil. The oil companies are not increasing refining capacity because it’s not cost effective for them to invest in more drilling when they can just produce less and sell it for more. Oil isn’t subject to normal supply and demand because the average American can’t just decide not to buy it.

  20. dudeitsdietz Says:

    The return on this …
    The return on this speculative proposal won’t manifest for at least ten years (oil execs are even saying this). Demand, not supply, is problem. Saudi Arabia just anounced it would deliver more oil in July and that hasn’t moved prices. Further, turmoil in the middle east makes it more difficult to ship/extract oil, raising the price (and giving greedy a reason to start a war)
    Stop where you eat. Stop listening to what Bush and Murdoch are telling you. Stop polluting. Stop Oil.

    OR! We could just …
    OR! We could just drill for oil in Alaska, california, and SOuth dakota. That can drop gas prices by about two dollars. Your method might work, but people will not do that. And I oppose Mass Transit. Driving’s way more convenient

  22. Darkit2099 Says:

    Drilling will lower …
    Drilling will lower gas prices. we have so many oil wells in America that could easily drop gas prices. But the democrats wont let us drill for it. Obama wants to tax the oil industries 20 billion each year to help drop prices of gas five cents–this in return will cause gas prices to shoot up another dollar within the year. Bush wants to drill for oil, and this will drop gas prices to under 2 dollars a gallon again. Which is a better idea? Doesn’t take much though here. Liberals are terrorists

    there are 5 ways to lower oil prices. 1. CARPOOL. if you get 5 folks in a car usually driven by 1, you get 4 less cars on our nations highways. 2. get the govt. to spend money on MASS TRANSIT. if you make mass transit- attractive, affordable,and comfortable you’ll get many people out of their cars. 3. get the govt. to EXPAND AMTRAK and call it the national rail system.
