The Dodd Days of August

Speculation needs to be brought into control, but more importantly, restrictions on drilling of offshore known reserves and Colorado Shale must be lifted. Just the fact that we WILL be drilling, is enough to cause the price of oil to come down to tolerable levels. If it continues at present price levels, we are going into depression as everything we do in this nation is dependent on affordable energy prices. Airlines, trucking, service industries such as FEDEX and UPS are being hammered. The airlines are going to go under, The railroads have let their tracks depreciate. They will not be able to accommodate the travel needs of the American public. And the restriction on offshore drilling is being held up for political expediency of the majority party.
Yes they all need to be ridden out of DC on a trail.

Is Valero a Better Buy than Exxon Mobil?

Hybrid, total electric, natural gas or hydrogen? What would you do?
I recently bought a new car, if any of the alternative fuels were available today I would not immediately sell my new car to buy one that was powered by the alternatives. Most people could not cast their present vehicle aside that easily. This is going to be a slow painful process. It's going to take longer than anticipated.

The biggest problem with our oil supply is the unwillingness of congress to lift the freeze on exploration of our own, known, oil reserves.

I don't believe the claim that there aren't sufficient experienced oil field hands available to drill for the oil available in this country.
