I'm gonna throw something out here, maybe I read too far into things, I don't know.

We've all seen the commercial for Chrysler offering guaranteed 2.99 a gallon for 3 years, right? Who knows more about this subject (oil prices) than the auto makers - besides the oil companies? I think they know that gas is going back down to where it was maybe 2 years ago so they are trying to get all the sales they can before it happens and the playing field is even again. Why else would they offer to take such a whoopin? I understand that they may be trying whatever they can to jump their sales, but to make an offer like that is interesting. I think they know what the future holds for oil prices, and they are doing what they can to capitalize.

I can get on board for developing our own resources - if you can prove to me it will make a big enough difference. A big enough difference to me isn't 25-30 cents less a gallon. If we are going to deplete our resources, gas had better be .15c a gallon like it is in Venezuela and the other production countries.

It is damn near impossible to forecast the end result at the pump due to domestic drilling due to the numerous factors and because oil is a traded commodity. The only known is that increasing supply will lower costs.

In my opinion the argument that drilling now will not have an effect for 10 years is about as ignorant as one can get, we find ourselves in our current situation because of similar thought 10 years ago. We need to plan ahead.

The thought of saving the environment and limiting the wildlife impact by limiting oil exploration, doesn't make much sense either. We are pretty hypicritical to expect other nations to disrupt their land havesting oil for us but we are unwilling to accept some risk of environmental impact on our own land. If we allow our economy to be run into the ground by tying the hands of our corporations behind their backs, then blame the wrong people for tough economic times we deserve what we get. Let's see, we want our energy producing companies to develop new technologies at the same time we are trying to strip the capital required to do it. Liberal politicians want to point at corporate America and call them selfish and evil, place additional after the fact taxes on them and expect them to play by the ever changing rules. What do we really expect them to do, invest billions in wind farms only to shut down because of migritory bird patterns, develop hydro-electric plans only to be torn out because of marine life, invest in new nuclear plants only for every state to refuse to permit construction. If we aren't handicapping ourselves I don't know how else to describe it.

I'm not advocating that we ignore our environmental impact but we must be willing to make calculated risks and trade off in order for the human race to prosper. We are quick to say how evil corporate special interest lobbiest are but how one sided is every environmental special interest group. We don't want to see our oceans ruined and we are very critical of sewage overflow and city run-off, but we must all be willing to change our way of life if we want to leave our landscape untouched, and no one is.

I try to keep the faith but it is hard to do when the solutions are not to hard to figure out and it is always some bullchit reason why not to do it,politics plain and simple, 2 years 5 or 10 years t to see a change if they start drilling now, bullchit ,does congress that that the american people are that *ucking stupid,just another excuse.The only thing is we are letting it happen.Sorry had to get it off my chest.Whats it like down under,Whos been?Cant be much worse, the marlin are bigger!Hell that might be the place to be?

I agree 100% It's to bad that this country does not have the intelligents to get out of it's own way. Newt is the best
