Reasons to Love 3-Digit Oil

Nerf: What's your point? I'm not arguing against more fuel efficient cars , hydrogen cars, etc., etc. I'm merely stating that COP, XOM, CVX, etc are oil and natural gas companies. It's not their responsibility to develop anything other than more oil and natural gas. I suggest all the gasbags in Congress who are asking for alternative energy, raise a few billion dollars and form their own company. I have been invested in energy since it was $12 bbl and nat. gas $1.75 mcf. It's not my responsibility to help out the morons in congress who want more oil at cheaper prices and refuse to allow drilling.

Reasons to Love 3-Digit Oil

Trying to make XOM, COP, CVX, etc responsible for developing alternatve energy sources is crazy. They are in the oil and natural gas business and no corporation should be forced to use it's profits to develop a technology that will put itself out of business. Of all the hot air coming from the morons in Congress could be harnessed, the energy problem would be solved. All this talk about alternative energy isn't going to solve the problem of the 200 million conventional gasoline fueled cars on the road. The Politicians seem to believe that the average American should simply trash his car and spend $45,000 on a new electric or some other "alt. energy" vehicle. As the elitists that they are, they can't pit themselves in the place of the average American. If Obama gets elected, with his friends running Congress, we better get used to $5.00 or $6.00 gas. For the U.S. to blame OPEC for not producing enough oil, when we ourselves refuse to do so is idiotic.
