I filled up one of my tanks at $3.79 this morning. I went out for lunch and saw it at $3.83 at the same station. People are getting annoyed.


Who do you think they will take that out on?



We know who. Unfortunately, they don't know why.

Exactly. People are pissed and they want to lash out. Unfortunately the people in power will take the brunt of the lashing out.

wait, it's a world market, right?


So any conservation we enact here, is just absorbed by growth elsewhere, right?

sound currency will bring lower gas prices



Not even a perfect currency situation will put more oil back in the ground.


The downside of this energy source being used up will not be pretty... Piss on your dollar weakening.



Now, if only we had a way to to make light crude from our trash. Oh wait, we do.

Yup, we can turn poop into oil.

Canada shipping oil to the pacific coast, loading it on ships, and sailing that oil to china = good for the environment.

#reasonstovoteagainstKeystoneXL


Keystone XL will make gas more expensive for the US. The US just gets the benefits of a handful of jobs maintaining the pipeline.

And to ship to the Pacific, Canada has to dig a pipeline through the Rocky Mountains and build a bunch of refineries at one of the Pacific coast port cities. Good luck with that.
