I did. And I know …
I did. And I know that 50 years ago it was global cooling. Then when tempatures went up, they changed it to global warming. Now with tempatures back down, they decided, lets call it climate change.
BTW, there was global warming during the 12th century. Way before automobiles or factories.
YOU need to research instead of swallowing what government schools teach you.

Well just so you …
Well just so you know global warming is the precursor to an ice age. And the fact that places achieve record lows and highs does more to support the fact that its affecting our climate. Do some research before you babble.

I guess that’s why we had record lows in Minnesota and New England and why so many families are freezing and unable to afford heating oil since the price has gone up too high thanks to liberal taxes.

Global warming is …
Global warming is NOT a myth. It is scientifically supported and widely accepted as TRUTH.

The only reason we …
The only reason we aren’t drilling is because rich liberals with shore property don’t want to look at the oil rigs ruining their scenery. Those rigs could create lots of jobs and reduce energy costs Meanwhile, the working poor have no jobs and have to pay more of their meager income to heat their homes and buy gas. All because of rich liberals and this BS myth of global warming.

There is no useful …
There is no useful or very successful alternative energy source and until their is one their is no reason why we should use Oil and that means drilling and making it from COAL.
Until the libs get their heads out of their es about Global Warming and the environment the sooner oil will dwindle in prices and the sooner we can have stock piles of oil….

You ask a Lib to stick a windmill in their back yard and they are the first to say NO. It is useless. They want to stick them out into the oceans and then you have to run huge wires underwater which isn’t cost efficient. Not to mention the turbines break down more then Fords.
Drill for oil… ANWAR, off our coasts. I live on the Gulf in Mississippi and we see no effect from the rigs. No spills, nothing. It actually helps fish have a place to be safe from predators…

Wind and Solar …
Wind and Solar takes a tenth of the time to
install compared to Coal, Oil and Nuclear power plants.
But it is cheap energy so Big Oil would not make enough from it which is the ONLY reason they dont invest much in
Greed Killz

Here’s a note for retarded Republicans that think off shore oil will lower prices at the pump (instead of just boosting oil company profits. A) It will take billions of dollars to get that oil and refine it. B) It will take ten years before any of it actually is processed into gas, C) The gas will be sold on the global market with most going to China, D) We export 20% of our oil, much more than we could ever get from off shore wells. Stop being a stooge for the McCain Oil Company.

Fossil fuel is a …
Fossil fuel is a finite resource it’s inherently not long term. There is only a set physical amount you can pump out of the ground. Oil is not an infinite resource.
Remaining oil supplies should be used wisely. Not wasted on vehicles with poor fuel economy.
Alternative sources of energy need to be activated. Because a transition won’t be smooth if acted on to late.

Just because oil …
Just because oil company’s have 1% more supply does not mean a 1% change the price.
Oil company’s are often apart of organizations that often manipulate the supply of oil. All they have to do is just start closing off the supply of crude oil when the supply is high.

Meeting one percent …
Meeting one percent of US oil starting from the year 2030. Is one percent. You don’t get a larger percent over a longer term, you get one percent.

As noted roads in state are managed by the state government. But, national roads are managed by the federal government. Since the system is going across multiple states.

AdDigit, the …
AdDigit, the problem being that it isn’t the federal government’s jobs to tax and spend on expensive road systems that steal away money, labor, and capital from the private sector. The management of roads should be left to state and local governments as well as private companies.

So we need to …
So we need to abandon cheap fuel for expensive, uneconomic fuel so we can ruin our economy, right? Good idea.
And it isn’t a 1% reduction in price. It’s a 1% long term increase in the amount of oil. That’s enough to power thousands of homes for decades. You really think that won’t drive fuel prices down?

we just need to stop burning things.
even if it comes from things like crops, it’ll not only cut into food supply, but can’t keep up.
we need to get it into our heads. why are we still burning things when the technology exists to derive pure, clean electricity from so many sources to power our vehicles?

(lets just pretend it would work for us and only be supply and demand)
isn’t 1% of $4.00 a gallon a reduction of 4 cents per gallon?
4 cents?

Well, there are …
Well, there are both state and federal taxes. Since part of the road system is run under the federal government. For example the national highway system. While states also use taxes at the local level for roads.

The maintenance of roads should be a local, state, and private function, not a federal one.

If you eliminated the taxes on gas you would in-turn be eliminating the budget used for maintaining the highways, roads and our transportation infrastructure.
