Pumping up Prices: The Strategic Petroleum Reserve and Record Gas Prices

[WhatTheFain]

that was a really funny and true vid you made I like it and agree! It would be cool If you can check out my vid. that would be awesome! ido vid like that too!

Wow, we got some discussion on this one. What happened to the guys arm?

[buisyman]

Opening the strategic reserves serves no purpose other than a political one.  It doesn't solve the problem. Neither do electric cars, which are worse for the environment, because of the charging time. all that electricity has to come from somewhere, now doesn't it?

Blame the speculators in Wallstreet, they are banking off of greed. btw.. who broke his arm? conspiracy theory .....

Respond to this video... There is a problem with high gas prices. There is a solution as well. We the people have a choice to help our self from the pain at the pump.

One day in the far far future after societies have grown and fallen time and time again, a school kid will open a book for the days lesson. The teacher will instruct to search for politics. There the entry of the book will read "A foul pervasive disease to harsh and dangerous to fully define"

I pay $1.27 per gal. in Utah for domestic compressed natural gas(CNG). At the touch of a switch, my car runs on CNG or gasoline. The Department of Energy has recently provided states with millions of dollars of stimulus money to start developing CNG infrastructure. Utah and Oklahoma began building a network of CNG vehicle fueling stations years ago. Thousands of Utah and Oklahoma residents are only paying $1-$2 per gallon today. I simply can't understand why other states didn't plan ahead.

@ngvconversion

Prep for flammable water from your tap.

[ngvconversion]

@Anothercoilgun I'm not too bright, could you go into more detail?

[syyenergy7]

@ngvconversion CNG has been around forever and it works and it's real. Natural gas is piped everywhere in the country and adding filling stations would be very easy. CNG is also very, very clean and so clean the cars actually last longer. Chevrolet made duel fuel CNG and the price was very, very inexpensive. People sit back and wait , eventually they will just shift their focus to charging a lot for water, and people will allow this

[buisyman]

@syyenergy7 CNG is far too dangerous. We here in Dallas had some patrol cars that used CNG. Because of a leak in the system of one of the cars, a female police officer nearly died from the fumes. What's so wrong with oil, anyway? It comes out of the ground, too, youknow.

[syyenergy7]

@buisyman CNG costs about $1 a gallon equivalent and is clean, plus the engines can last twice as long. Crude could be cheap, if it's weren't a racket. There is so much oil on this earth but the industry itself is tied in closely with the financial rackets (Petro dollar) that it's not going to go away easy. Oil backs the USD in effect. Not until they figure out how they could charge people money for using sunlight for solar panels, will things change much. .

[buisyman]

@syyenergy7 I have to agree with you in part here. Part of the reason the price of oil is so high is the devaluing of the USD. Another part is the Obama moratorium on drilling. it seems that, to our president, it's ok if Nicaragua and columbia drill for oil (he lent them 2 bill a peice to help them) but if we do it, it's bad for the environment. Do you know the effective life of solar panels? Not cost efective. that's why all these "green energy" companies get so much money in subsities.

[syyenergy7]

@buisyman I'm aware. There are many, many, many things going on that most people don't fully see. Almost everything has a very shrewd financial goal. Likely there is some policy by some factions to greatly weaken the U.S. I agree also a lot of green tech is not great at all. Even electric cars, if in an accident can be an extreme fire and explosive hazard due to all the batteries. They are much more unsafe than a tank of gasoline.

[buisyman]

@syyenergy7 The big problem right now is that solar panels are expensive and not cost effective. Windmills (no matter what President Obama says) aren't a new technology, they've been around for hundreds of years, we're just trying to use them differently. Obama found out when he got into the whitehouse that the technology he WANTED to use really doesn't exist, yet, if it ever will. someday, maybe we'll find it, but it won't be because he forced us to find it. It must be cost effective.

[syyenergy7]

@buisyman I know Solar is definitely not cost effective. Still I have seen too much to indicate there is suppressed technology out there. I know for a fact in the field of medicine, there are a lot of suppressed cures and treatments that cost very little. Be very wary of All the money angles. Some are not very apparent. The more I dig in, the shrewder I find that the wealthy & powerful are. Very slick & cold. Obama is just the person who is visible to us.

[buisyman]

@syyenergy7 I've never seen any indication of suppresed technology "except for maybe what Mr.Tesla had), but I've never really looked into it. If there's something being suppresed, I guess the key would be finding out why and by whom. The way things are right now, my guess for the whom would be the government. Who gets the most money from fuels? The government.

[ngvconversion]

I can't believe they are blaming Bush. This issue has had nothing to do with who is in office. Take a look at this video by Jimmy Carter. Keep in mind that President Obama was in junior high when Carter gave this speech about this very same issue. It makes me sad to watch it.
