Since you invited me, I will opine!I believe that all representatives and congressmen that have served over the past twenty years should be convicted of treason and hung by the neck until dead. This would be for their crimes committed against the united states by creating the energy situation that we are in today.With that being said, we must do a few things to start the ball rolling in the right direction. 1) Repeal all laws restricting drilling in ANWR and off of our coasts.2) Build some refineries. Oil is useless without a way to turn it into fuel.3) Embrace nuclear energy. We made a few bad films about Nuclear that devastated the industry.4) Dump the subsidy and mandate for "food to fuel" programs. Admit it was a bad idea.If we embrace some of these ideas, we may see some relief down the road. If not, we won't.I saw yesterday where the House passed a bill allowing us to sue OPEC. That is simply insanity. If anyone should be sued it should be the idiots in Washington.Ok I'm done. I have to go to work now. ;-)(I need to stop and put $150 worth of gas in my Suburban)Jeff

I don't like high fuel prices !! :M:M:W:WEnd of rant and now lets get back out there and go camping !!Thanks...I feel better now !

And fuel will probably get pricier when Congress passes the CLIMATE CHANGE SECURITY ACT.

One other idea is to repeal the laws that require something like 8 or 9 different gasoline formulations depending on where you live in the U.S.

This from the AP wire a few minutes ago:NEW YORK - Oil prices bolted to a new record above $132 a barrel Wednesday after the government reported that supplies of crude oil and gasoline fell unexpectedly last week. And crude's rise in the futures market again pressured consumers by pulling prices at the pump higher — a gallon of regular gas rose overnight to a new record above $3.80 a gallon. In its weekly inventory report, the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said crude oil inventories fell by more than 5 million barrels. Analysts had expected a modest increase. Gasoline inventories also fell and took the market by surprise.Light, sweet crude for July delivery was up more about $3, rising as high as $132.08 a barrel in late morning trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.At the pump, the average national price of a gallon of regular gas rose 0.7 cent overnight to a record $3.807 a gallon, according to a survey of stations by AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. Prices are 60 cents higher than a year ago, and many forecasters believe they'll hit $4 on a national basis at some point over the next month. Prices are already that high in many parts of the country, and the number of stations charging $4 or more rises each day.Diesel fuel rose 1.9 cents to its own record price of $4.558 a gallon Wednesday. Rising prices of diesel, used to transport most consumer and industrial goods, are sending prices of food and many other goods higher.

A few days ago former Shell CEO John Hofmeister was beginning to explain why we should have $2 gasoline in the future when we lost the television signal. Did anyone hear his reasoning? And please, no flaming of him or his opinions. After all, he's not under investigation for repeatedly lying to congress. And believe me, the House and, to a lesser extent the Senate, have many green sharks who would love to pursue charges against him, as he has testified numerous times before them.

"No cheap energy goes unused". One way or another that oil and gas will be recovered.

Environmentalist hate fracking and this is well known. They hate it because it reduces the price of fossil fuels (NG is now selling at 1/3 of it's previous cost) and makes the spread between fossil fuels and alternatives even wider. They want fossil fuels to be very expensive. This is well known. If you think environmentalist are going to be embracing GE for their entry into the fracking picture, then you are sadly mistaken and anybody understanding the subject knows this also.

They are building a new fracking research lab in OK and are investing $15 BILLION in the technology. Many other companies have done similar things for years. GE got on teh bandwagon a few years. Enviromentalist hate fracking and will be trashing GE for this. This technology has been common since 1949 and the ground water, flaming water, and earthquakes are all smokescreens by teh enviromentalist. This isn't the place for the discussion. I thought the group would like to see the article, but was afraid you would try to slam it and me. You did. Give it a break.

PITTSBURGH —
One of America's corporate giants is investing billions of dollars in the new boom of oil and gas drilling, or fracking. General Electric Co. is opening a new laboratory in Oklahoma, buying up related companies, and placing a big bet that cutting-edge science will improve profits for clients and reduce the environmental and health effects of the boom.

"We like the oil and gas base because we see the need for resources for a long time to come," said Mark Little, a senior vice president. He said GE did "almost nothing" in oil and gas just over a decade ago but has invested more than $15 billion in the past few years.

It is all over the news today, but I will link to it so you don't have to waste the 30 seconds yourself. It is a hot link of course. You can find similar stories all over and even in the Huffington Post.

Interestingly they drive a huge SUV to the environmental protest.

With apologies to the mods, that is one Mr Gore has flown in on a plane separate from his private jet. :B
