Venezuela sits on 5 times more oil than Saudi; a new Russian oil discovery is estimated at same size

I still want to know why the Government bought up all electric cars in the 90's; then proceeded to crush them all!

The real cost of oil would be over $11 dollars a gallon if you made the Oil Companies pay for military aid in hostile countries and also made them pay for environmental impacts in the US!

@Rockynurse Yes, and if we gave the producing countries the ability to fairly tax what is rightfully theirs: their own natural resources. In a decade you would see us switch substantially to wind, solar, tide and geothermal power.

@M3minusGrowth Nothing, nothing, nothing will change until we kick out Wall Street's 2 parties. Both have the same basic positions on all major foreign policy, trade & tax policy issues. None would be willing to challenge the Fed, Military Expansionism or Corporate Welfare. The genuine conservatives need to get behind people like Ron Paul and the anti-imperialist Libertarians. The genuine progressives need to get behind people like Nader, Sanders, the Greens & the various Socialist parties.

Jack it up HIGH and we'll be GLAD to pay $3.00 again..HOW SAD! The Republicannots are any help either! We need to take our government back..by revolution if necessary!

[redletterchurch]

Now oil has gone way down. Is this a conspiracy of speculation as well? What puzzles me is that oil prices don't seem to match what news stories seem to indicate the price should be doing.

[misterdix]

The fact that US soldiers in Iraq guard the very pipeline that pumps a huge percentage of US consumed crude confirms complicity between the saudi royals & the US gov/oil companies. They're on the same team. They're the shirts & the american people are the skins & they rigged the game. Remember that press conference where Bush pretended he didn't know gas was $4 a gallon? What's worse, having a hand in corruption or being The US president & not being aware of the highest gas prices in history?

Ron Paul for example doesn't suck! There still are some good ones around. Be fair.
