Gas Is Expensive
Check out this nifty map that shows current gas prices by county:
Gas is starting to get expensive and its about time something was done about it.
My proposed energy policy proposal:
Open up ANWR for drilling.
Open up off-shore drilling off U.S. coasts.
Allow standardization of fuel cocktails.
Reduce federal and local gas taxes both head taxes for oil producers and pump taxes for consumers.
Absolutely do NOT try to punish oil companies for high profits.
Allow construction of new oil refineries.
Remove unreasonable restrictions on nuclear power.
Notice how none of my suggestions involve increasing government interference?

At the rate gas prices are rising, our gas is gonna cost half what it does in London by this summer. They might even equal London gas prices by next summer. Doubtful though. I still think buying gas by the barrel right now is the way to go; or not buy gas at all.
Right I agree,
you can always ride your bike...
Or you could get everybody in the U.S. for like fourth of july weekend to not buy gas. Just think how much gas would go down then!!!
To the blonde: ...Umm...sure.
To Rabenstrange: One guy who called up today on Tony Snow made the comment that he wanted the gov't to look into the price gouging of starbucks coffee, considering that the cost to price ratio is a lot steeper on that than gas.
Hmm, that is an interesting map. I agree with all your solutions. However, I think we should also start taking very large strides in the direction of alternative sources of power.
Ha ha! Once again, your comment on my blog made me laugh. Polar bears...
Hmmmmm, maybe you should just run for President, and all your problems would Be Solved?? :)
look "the shadow walker"
you are supposed to humor the blonde!!!!
...
I don't think thats such a good idea Woody!!!!!!!!
LOL
JK
Or we could all move to Wyoming....
What about Ethanol? thoughts opinions?
Rabenstrange run for President? Has the world come to its end yet?
So are you saying you should run for President TBQ Elite?
To "the blonde":
I am not in the habit/occupation of humoring anyone.
As for the President thing...You would still have to deal with Congress.
Being President would be no fun. No fun at all.
What would becoming president have to do with gas prices? The president doesn't have the power to set prices for much of anything. And I wouldn't want to live in a country where he could.
