At least someone is doing something about gas prices

E85 Ethanol all the way.

Takes more energy to produce than it gives off.

The whole gas thing pisses me off so much, Exxon reports obscene record profits and then says they need to raise gas prices more. In today's newspaper I read first quarter earnings for Exxon is gonna be in the billions, yet they need to raise prices?!?! Billions of dollars isn't enough, what will make them happy trillions? People can keep on telling me about the supply and demand of fuel, turmoil in the middle east, problems with refineries and I will never believe any of it to be true unless these big oil companies start posting smaller profits. It about greed, plain and simple, big oil is ****ing the US up the @$$, then laughing at us. However, as long as soccer moms keep filling up their SUVs and people buy Hummers to go to the grocery store down the block, big oil will continue to laugh themselves to the bank. Me, I own a car, haven't driven it in a week and the last time I did drive it, I only moved it across the street because the city was cleaning the street and I would've gotten a parking ticket. I take public transportation to work, live close enough to the bars I like to walk and anywhere else I ride a bike, only need a car to visit relatives.

You're probably not entirely off base on much of that, sadly.

Just watched the Daily Show and they had someone from the Wall Street Journal talking about rising gas prices. She gave all the same lame excuses, but couldn't answer Jon when he asked about the record profits. Pretty good interview because it really did seem like the woman knew she was spouting bull$#!t, but couldn't stop herself.

I still want to know why George W. won't open the gas reserves.

I get its supposed to be an emergency...but when it is costing close to fifty dollars to fill up my bloody Chevy Cavalier, I think its safe to say we've reached the emergency.

I thought he did already? Or did he just halt the production that goes into the reserves? I know he done one or the other yesterday.

It costs me 50 bucks to fill my car half way

 

[Man-Thing]

[Man-Thing]

[War Lord]

Just trade services for the other half.

I'm sure there is somebody who likes to have sex with trannies.

As far as I know he only stopped production that goes into reserves. I believe he may have also stopped the military from using the reserves or something

NBC just broadcasted a Brian Williams interview w/ Bush where he claimed that he was fervently lobbying for more pressuring of the Oil co(s). [He wasn't answering questions specifically for that purpose, but it came up in the interview] We'll see where this and a lot of other 'said things' go, but I doubt a solution will present itself until Autumn or winter.

I almost believe that, lobbying my ass.

The politicians will allow gas prices to soar because oil companies are making crap loads of money and paying off the right people. George Bush himself has oil wells and will not soon enough halt the rising prices because he is making a lot of money.
