High gas prices?! And why do you think that is?

Senators Clinton and Obama, did you both sleep through Economics 101? The only way to reduce gas prices is to reduce demand? No, no, no! The best way to drive the price of gas down is to increase SUPPLY! Neither of your answers addressed our need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

Why is it that the last oil refinery in the United States was built in 1976? And why don't we find newer and better oil and gas resources here in our own country?

The United States consumes 20 million barrels of oil a day. The demand for oil will not be going down anytime soon. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) is known to contain huge oil and gas deposits, but because of environmental lock-up restrictions on oil production on America's offshore Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), we have to import 65% of our oil from foreign sources.

More than 75% of Alaskans favor exploration and production in ANWR, so why not more support from the pinheads in Washington, D.C.?

Only 8% (1.5 million acres) of the northern coast of ANWR is being considered for research & development, and the remaining 92% (17.5 million acres) of ANWR will remain permanently closed to any kind of development. If oil is discovered, then less than 2000 acres of the over 1.5 million acres of the Coastal Plain would be affected. That's less than half of one percent of ANWR that would be affected by production activity. How much is 2000 acres? To put this in perspective, nearly 370,000 total acres were burned in San Diego wildfires last fall, and back in 2003, over 700,000 acres were burned in California alone.

Conservative estimates indicate that ANWR's 10-02 Area contains the equivalent of over 30 years worth of Saudi oil.

If the Washington beaurocrats are serious about ending our dependence on foreign oil, then they need to allow R&D to begin in ANWR. It's time to use the resources in our own country. Why buy something from other countries that we possess ourselves?

Reducing demand is not the answer.
Growing more corn for ethanol is not the answer.
Hybrid cars are not the answer.

The ANsWeR is ANWR.

SunnyboyEVOLUTION -- I'm glad you liked this video so well! LOL Ok, ok, I'll try to make more videos with sound effects -- sheesh, stop emailing me so many requests already!!

Hey drogoth, have you ever purchased a cassette tape or a compact disc? Do you use plastic garbage bags? How about a camera that used film? Do you have painted walls?  Have you ever used Styrofoam? Have you ever driven on an asphalt road? Do you own or ever use a toothbrush to brush your dentures? We all would like to see more renewable energy developed and used, but for the time being, you use as much oil as the rest of us. LOL!!

Obama's past has become a national disgrace...the most rabid racist black supremacists, hardened criminals, notorious (and unrepentant) terrorists. His own words in print, mirroring everything these evil pukes stand for. His autobiography is one long paranoid, racist, anti-American rant. Crazy stuff.

Then there is the matter of his being the most far left radical liberal ever seen in the Senate. And don't even get me started about his voting record.

The truth is the democrats are evil.

BUY NO GAS ON 9/11/11 On 9/11/11, we begin the process of taking back control of our great nation. On that day, a nation-wide boycott of all gasoline stations will reduce demand to levels that will force the puppet-masters and oil investors to take notice. The boycott will occur on the 11th day of each month thereafter, until prices are changed and Americans aren't paying their paychecks on gas just to get to work and back. DON'T BUY GAS ON 9/11/11 SPREAD THE WORD!!!

Dear writer "potty mouth" trump,

Your remarkable and uncanny grasp of the English language is eclipsed only by your incoherency. A few more sessions with the "Weekly Reader" should do it.

writer "potty mouth" trump,

Sentences in English begin with a capital letter, and so do proper nouns. If you can learn that this summer, maybe you can skip 2nd grade next year. ha ha!!

[writertrump]

Dear writer "potty mouth" trump,

Dude, get a grip and relax a bit. LOL! No one is trashing your man Ron, so just relax a bit. And next time, try to raise your level of communication above the 5th grade....
